While Nostrachadmus was known for making no predictions and mocking everybody else making semi-accurate predictions as something he could have done better himself. Nostrasmartass just mocked them all without claiming he could make any long-term predicions at all.
Past and future history is crazy.
Thank user vzq, yet I don't believe drone warfare was the trend at the end of the cold war nor was the US and China direct competitors in the way we see today. Come to think of it, wasn't the cold war about the US and a different country? I'm so historyless, lol.

Thanks! 😊
Sure and I agree. That's why I mention that I'm bummed out about not being able to attend big venue concerts any more. But I know why they're doing it and I understand the cost.
As far as I can se, every person who understand what this means is angry about it. But once one accepts that the vast majority of people are NPC's, not willing to sacrificy even such a meaningless thing as entertainment... This is what we get.
In fairness with the warped society we have, entertainment has become a value in it self, way more valuable than building a better world for ourselves and those who comes after. A consumer society to the max.
I've tried warning, I've offered alternatives, I've talked about the cost - But instead of people attending no-app-required baseball matches and build a new industry they begrudginly use the app, complain about signing away their privacy and just keep on eroding the world.
What are we to do but try to save ourselves?
Yep. It's all about what you value the most - Your personal privacy and integrity or watching specific people slap a ball with a stick.
Sure, that's why I self-host or use trusted services from people I actually know for EVERYTHING I can, not just the stuff that's too awful to accept. I can't be bothered with being disappointed and jump ships yet again.

Have an upvote for your enthusiasm kiddo.
There's always going to be cars that are repairable, they're just never going to be the flashiest, newest, cheapest or most media and socially hyped up vehicles. And that's what people want.
Folk complain about a simple thing like non-replaceable batteries in phones. But there's always been phones with replaceable batteries. They're just not Samsung phones or packed with the latest AI.
And honestly, if people cannot understand what they're signing up for... Perhaps they shouldn't sign away their first born child to begin with?
Nostrachadmus.
I have no idea what that means.
Thank you for the correction, I am but a mere theoretical hardcore p8nker boi.
It's not dead, just retired.
Well it's clear that the user stepped into the role of vzq, answering on their behalf. I'm just being polite.
