Orwell wrote that book based on his personal observations from how the government already worked decades prior. All he did was 1+1=2 and he was visionary because of it. Same with Marx. Or Verne.
There's a reason dystopian fiction has reigned supreme for over a decade now. We're obsessed with our inevitable fate.
Por que no los dos?
A meek, terrified populace is ripe fruit for the picking for actors both internal & external.
"Rich people's yacht money."
Just replace 99,9% of instances containing "the economy" and substitute. Makes a lot of things click.
JFC, almost looks like a still from 2012 or the Day after Tomorrow.
I get it, I really do. And come time to say final goodbyes, the pain is almost unbearable. But man, waking up to finding out you're in the middle of a furry sleepstack with warm, fuzzy friends who purr and cozily nuzzle up to you on a cold winter's night is something else entirely. Wouldn't want to miss it for anything.
Oh, and kids are allright, I guess.

Company always brings in people from the mother holding for management roles. People have started noticing and jumping ship.
May the Musks receive as much from the world as they have given in kind.
Well, the things I would like to do require new education to the tune of a full bachelor's or masters, which I have neither the funds nor time for.
If I somehow were to come into money, I would definitely do this. As is though, I'll have to make do with less lofty goals. Thanks for the insight though!
Shaved cunt or not, always a pussy.
At my company, a marketeer recently left to pursue another opportunity elsewhere. I cautiously probed if they might be looking for a replacement.
They weren't. They just trained a local LLM on the hundreds of articles and copy texts she'd written, so she's effectively been replaced by AI 1:1 .
Apparently edible, though not willing to chance it.
Was the best moment of the day by far. Thanks for the li'l boost, fluffy princess!
Guess I'll die 😬
EDIT; I can't reply to everyone individually but thanks for all the suggestions! Opiates are out of the question, doctors here will only prescribe those in terms of absolutely extreme suffering or end of life care. I also don't particularly feel interested in developing a hard drug habit. Diclofenac and such are available but also only on separate prescriptions, I'd have to visit another doctor for that. I'm well stocked on paracetamol & ibuprofen, and apart from that, lots of ice cream, pudding & soup :)
Also, since a fair few people seem to doubt the veracity of my story, here's the 22 extracted teeth (the other 10 were already gone in previous extractions).
Ordered this made from a then-fellow Redditor a few years ago, haven’t come across anything that writes better yet. I’ve found the extra weight helps increase the legibility of my handwriting.
Would play. The Canker sisters are basically saloon girls already.
