Remember the glory that was 90’s optimism.
30 years later I thought we would live in a better 90’s.
Instead we live in a really shit future that’s worse than even the 90s.

I saw someone point out on a reply similar nostalgic message: this is basically the plot of The Matrix.

We’re communicating instantaneously over a globe spanning computer network. In the early 90s that was not possible for the average joe. It was only in the very tail end of the decade that doing so didn’t require a fair amount of money and/or technical knowledge.
The network provides all of the information in every library on the planet to us instantaneously.

No offense but I’d gladly not talk to any of you fuckers if it meant all the good shit came back

That way we can communicate how we can’t afford mediation, food, or housing.

Tbf telephones are/were a globe spanning computer network that allows instant communication… Even pre 90s

I don’t disagree, but this context is a bit weird given that starship troopers depicts a rosy vision of the future but with fascism.
Wanderer@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I know there is a bit Internet belief that starship troopers is fascist but I’m not convinced.
Everyone is equal, free healthcare and education.They have an entry to vote so admittedly not everyone gets a vote. But absoultely anyone can choose to serve there government and by serving you automatically get a vote. Tbh I think there are arguments for that system. Once you get citizenship their the system is completely democratic. They have propaganda but it is total war and which democracy hasn’t had propaganda during total war?
The book goes into it more and the book is a lot more serious and less campy. Verhoeven did try to twist it as much as possible which lost a lot but he still made a really entertaining movie.

There was no optimism in my country in 90-s. It was extreme poverty, extreme crime, no food, no jobs and near civil war. Fuck 1990-s.

Republic of Ireland?
For most of the west and a lot of countries in Asia. Things were good.

Oh, so now this is a novel idea? I tried to do a study on that and was thrown out of the waterpark alltogether for being a pervert and a creep... I was trying to save men with shower-science, you buffoons!

I’ve never really understood gender segregated public bathrooms. We don’t segregate our bathrooms at home and it’s not like anyone watches anyone else.

Certain people are weirdos that’s why
Lazhward@lemmy.world 10 months ago
and it’s not like anyone watches anyone else.
Unfortunately some people are creeps. The University of Toronto had to partially reverse their all-gender shower policy shortly after implementing it.

It’s incompetent and immature morons that continue to push segregation, and realistically the more they fight it the more I have to ask “what did you do”
