First, let us consider the fact that for the first time ever, as a species, immortality is in our reach.

Its so funny to see people repeat this claim ad nauseam as the average life expectancy rate contracts for the first time since the fucking Great Depression.

What if a cargo cult was an entire fucking nation, and drop shipping was their religion? What if you could one-click purchase being 26-years-old forever? Idk, man. Sounds pretty neat. Anyway, you should sign up for my Kickstarter.

Oh. Damn, it's been a while since I've played that

It's specifically from Half Life 2's opening chapter, the Breencast in the plaza outside the train station.

I guess I'd never really thought of it but is half-life 2 literally a Palestine resistance simulator? The combine even took over earth in the "7 hour war".
