can we just pretend we're in some cool cyberpunk future already

@aemarc mastodon instances are basically burbclaves

@phire @aemarc I love that that concept has had a resurgence in sci-fi lately. Infomocracy and Too Like the Lightning both had analogues.

@aemarc Which cyberpunk future? Blade Runner? Ghost in the Shell? Psycho Pass? Do tell!

@Owlbert @aemarc

It kinda is like that in that one GITS: SAC episode where the entire episode is just people in a chat room discussing politics and philosophy.

Well, the #politics & #philosophy happen in every episode of every instance of #ghostintheshell

Perhaps not the movie though. :rolling_eyes:

@aemarc We are in a cyberpunk future already. But it still young. It's not yet developed like fiction cyberpunk. :smile:

@aemarc I've got a time-traveling canoe. In addition to being able to travel through time, it can also travel over water. It's limited to only 1X normal time-speed, though, and it's stuck in Forward. Nonetheless, you're welcome to come along on an adventure through space-time, any time

@ChristianD ty christian that's at least a lot better than most other time-traveling things.

I don't get seasick so I think we'd be gucci

@aemarc 1) I'm glad that you're comfortable facing the existial terror of canoeing through the vast, deep ocean. And, 2) I'm glad we're not a knock-off brand

@ChristianD I can be denny's if I want to be, christian

@aemarc today I learned Denny's makes knock-off luxury handbags

@aemarc Isn't that what we're all doing here?

@aemarc you have been delivered unto the dystopia you were promised. The future is already here... your meatsack just hasn't noticed yet.
