Terraforming other planets would be astronomically more challenging than fixing our own planet and we don’t seem to be able to get our shit together to do that. Even if we are capable of terraforming other planets, it would take many centuries at minimum. O’Neal cylinders are far more likely to work once we start industrializing the moon.

And the more times you do it, it’s like playing a Russian roulette over and over again, you’ll eventually be caught.

What I meant is that it would get more and more difficult with more mass surveillance. Think about it, in 1950 it would take relatively little effort to fake an identity by inserting fake documents into a few physical cabinets. In 2000, cyber security was so weak that hacking to some government agency to modify their databases would be relatively simple. Now it would require advanced social engineering, and is extremely risky, and on top of that, they have a lot of mass surveillance.

If we assume everything will have a biometric database, you’ll have to find ways to change your fingerprints and face every few decades.

Over an long enough duration, you are guaranteed to be caught.

Having to keep creating fake identities to prevent people and governments from finding out that you’re immortal. That would be a massive pain in the butt, especially in a world where mass surveillance of the population is common.

As someone who regularly uses both British and American English both at work and in my personal life, I sometimes mix them unintentionally.

I almost always use the same spelling for either word and use context to make sure it is always clear which mold I am talking about.

I do think there is value in distinguishing the words with different spelling, but without getting everyone to agree on which spelling would mean what, I think this won’t be very productive.

The British Museum can’t even keep its collection from being stolen (ironic), there are 2000 missing artifacts if I remember correctly. Any excuse that “the British Museum can protect the artefacts” doesn’t hold true anymore. They should return the stolen artefacts to be displayed in the county of origin. Egypt has very strong laws to preserve and protect ancient artefacts.

I had ED 3 (Maximum the Hormone) playing in my mind as I read this chapter.

Assassination attempt on Trump in a rally.

I’d seriously worry about not having immunity to whatever diseases exist in that world, and the people of that new world not having immunity to whatever I might be carrying from my world.

Probably try and figure what the skills of the other survivors on the train to assemble a team with the goal of survival and information gathering.

Holy crap, this chapter got me laughing at first from how he was telling Denji to eat sushi properly and Denji gobbled it down to spite him… And when Nayuta showed up I couldn’t breathe for a few seconds. I shouldn’t be surprised since Fujimoto is a cruel man, and his characters always suffer psychological trauma but I didn’t see that coming at all.

10/10 chapter and now I need to cool my head with some cute puppy videos on YouTube.

While an aggressive attitude won’t change the mind of bigots, a polite and respectful response to someone who advocates for forcing kids to go through the wrong puberty is going to be especially difficult for people with personal trauma for it, and it’s unreasonable to expect it of them.

I think it’s a reasonable reaction to throw polite discourse out when people use “moderate” as a cover for their bigotry. This is like when “moderate” person said that segregation of black people was reasonable when people were fighting for their civil rights, and that since the moderates weren’t pro-slavery so they were the good guys. No, you’re not the good guys, you’re just not as bad as the super evil guys. Congrats.

Now I won’t tell you to “fuck off and die”, but I will tell you to fuck off. If you were someone I personally knew, I would have put in the effort to be polite and try to educate you or whatever, but since we don’t know each other it’s unlikely to land.

I say it as someone who used to think like you.

That was a nod to Great Moments in Unintended Consequences. (Example)

For me it’s branding something as “AI” as a buzzword. Almost all product marketing is full of AI hype these days.

The Year: 2092

The Problem: Timezones are annoying

The Solution: Space mirrors! A series of mirrors in space would rotate to keep the entire planet under a single time zone. A perfect global time system is born!

Sounds like a great idea! With the best of intentions. What could possibly go wrong?

You can run DOOM on E.Coli bacteria, so I’m sure you can run it on anything.

Any front engine rear drive car going in reverse, lol.

This is similar to how fiends keep parts of the original human’s personality. They literally share braincells.

Denji being Denji, Asa being Asa, and then when he realised he won’t be getting sex today, he breaks down in a moment of self awareness and self loathing, and Yoru being Yoru. Perfect writing.

I called it, Katana Man is getting development… Didn’t expect it to go there, but it makes sense considering his upbringing. I expect him to fully let go of his hatred and become friends with Denji properly. He will probably help him out when Fami reveals her game and prevent her from eating Denji or something…

There is always the Wikipedia style link to the definition whenever such word arrives. This is what browser tabs are for.
