The deaths of certain people.
The US Government will remove their heads from their asses and work on fixing things before it’s too late.
Ideally by regulating the shit out of corporations, and dismantling fraudulent 501©(3)s like the Heritage Foundation.
Just having better options for the next presidential election would be a step in the right direction.
Hopefully more states start to heavily push the Alternative or Ranked Choice voting systems.
There are entrenched entities heavily invested, literally and figuratively, in aligning the government with their interests, and against the interests of the majority. Their primary methods are propagandizing the gullible to vote for the representatives they have invested in, and fomenting apathy in those they cannot propagandize.
The solution is two-fold: supporting candidates aligned with your interests throughout their career from local elections up to more powerful ones, and voting in every election for the front-runner who is less detrimental to those interests.
If you think the current government has their heads in their asses, it’s a good bet that this two-fold solution takes the form of voting for progressives in local elections and greater primaries, and showing up to vote for whichever of the front-runner candidates is comparatively more progressive.
Voting for a candidate that is progressive but vastly unlikely to win is counterproductive. Not voting because none of the likely candidates is sufficiently progressive is counterproductive.
If everyone understood this, and showed up to vote, within a few election cycles we’d have a government composed of un-assed heads.
The Star Trek timeline, I just want a holodeck, but they just keep hawking this VR/AR crap :(
If you knew what came next in the ST timeline, you would not wish for it
It’s gonna be locked down. Everyone wants a holodeck, but imagine there are so many rules and regs on what you can and can’t do in one that it’s not even worth it?
Imagine playing GTA, but:
- you can’t hijack a train full of people
- buildings don’t take any damage when you fly helicopters into them
- people’s limbs don’t detach when you sever them
- you can’t make idle small talk with random NPCs without it escalating into violence
Would that be a GTA you would actually play?
One must walk before they can run. Probably. I dunno the future.

Ending world hunger and finding a cure for cancer and other currently uncurable diseases.
An exponential increase in power density of batteries.
I just want reliable long-term storage. Even if it’s a trickle of power coming out, I want it to be reliable and large, so that I can just throw energy at it when I don’t need it and can rely on it when I do.
Fair. I was thinking if a loaf of bread sized battery could run my car for 100 miles, I would have zero range anxiety. Make them easily swappable so people no longer charge their battery on road trips, they just drive up to a station, swap, and continue on their way. Maybe with an extra loaf or two in the trunk if going far from stations.
Storage size and longevity aren’t as important to me once it becomes dense enough I can carry all I need for a day in my purse.

The American Government dying
in sha’ allah
Do you have a license for that edge?
Maybe start with the death of the two-party system?
Industrial use of oil and coal goes poof
For my life to have worth.
I don’t know you or your situation, stranger, but it can happen as soon as you’re ready.
I’m ready but I’ve also been waiting.
life’s what you make it
That’s a part of what I mean. Why make it one thing as opposed to another thing? Not everyone is blessed to not have indecision.

To see my enemies crushed. To see them driven before me. And to see more hybrid and electric vehicles on the road.
We also would have accepted the lamentations of their women.
I want to see less vehicles on roads.
Well, you could always close your eyes
More walkability / bikability and public transit would be great!

Bring on the lamentations of the fossil fuel executives
Genghis, we’ve talked about this before: you can’t snap arrows and push EV’s at the same time – there needs to be a transition period.
At this point, every day above ground is a good day.
Yeah but someone’s gotta mine that coal
