  In an ideal society,

  1. We would actively try to clean our environment and aggressively implement renewable energy sources in every aspect.
  2. If you want to live long, you need to keep your body fit. Exercise is the cheapest amount of effort you need to keep it healthy.
  3. Yes, there would still be many incurable diseases but society would be doing the best to find a cure.
  4. Torture isn’t required to run a pig farm. It happens in a society where profit is the utmost priority instead of rearing and quality. Or maybe developing something like cloning only meat instead of a full organism.
  5. An ideal society would implement something like universal basic income or something similar so that everyone can do whatever they like instead of menial labour. Menial labour can be assigned to autonomous systems or robots.
  6. Nothing lasts forever. You can’t do anything about entropy. You can worry for the inevitable demise or live in the moment.
  7. An ideal society would not discriminate anyone on the basis of disability or anyone’s misfortunes. There would be extensive therapies, rehabilitations, redresses and in worst case, voluntary euthanasia.

  An ideal society would do everything in their power to make it an ideal utopia, so why limit it to some pessimistic depiction even in your imagination.

  Life is whatever you perceive it to be. You may have a shitty hand, but it still is yours to play however you want.

  I’ll just buy and use decade old phones with unlocked bootloader till I can. There’s barely any innovation in phones these days and I’m sure someone will come to fill the gap Android left (hopefully Linux). I’m still using my 5 year old phone degoogled with custom a16 and still going strong. I also have a backup pixel 6 in case the current one breaks. I can easily wait 10-15 years.

  Goddamn. That’s some diabolical hack. I might give it a try.

  That was the thing that always broke the immersion for me. Our ancestors hunted the mammoths with just spears and a hole in the ground. And you’re telling me that modern technology can’t come up with a way to properly neutralize or contain a dinosaur?

  Battlefield and cod have cheaters running rampant in their official servers despite using anti cheats. They could employ a team to monitor cheating reported by players. But clearly they just don’t want to expend resources to combat that.

  Have you looked at mods? I’m sure I saw an auomation mod for Terraria a while back.

  Same might be true for starbound. But I don’t know much about its mods.

  Maybe I’m understanding wrong but hair don’t have nerves. Is our brain detecting the micro movements of hair follicles inside the skin?

  Where are the anonymous group and 4chan autists? They should attack these assholes. Attacking internet archive is like kicking a kitten. Everyone will hate you for it.
