That does sound like how Hollywood would handle it, yeah.

More existential dread than outright horror, but other than that – why not both? Or, well, since we’re currently living in it, can it really be called sci-fi at this point?

Thanks for the recommendation.

That’s already the case. She’s just not being honest about it. Buy hey, this is the 21st century – If guys want to share… servers, who am I to kink shame them?

And then AWS comes back online, but the transient state was wiped and now ‘she’ no longer remembers you. That’s a plot for a sci-fi short film right there. You’re welcome, Hollywood.

Nothing really. It’s just that it doesn’t humorously shatter into sharp fragments that’ll be hours of fun to have removed in the ER later.

Swap his aluminum can for a glass bottle, and you’re on!

No, but do it anyway – it’ll be hilarious. Here, let me hold your beer.

And that’s why our median lifespan is lower. Well that, and some of us being idiots.

By definition one cannot improve upon perfection, so what would be the point?

…Oh you sweet summer child.

Yeah, but we have a choice as to whether we want to run it or not.

Or at least have some pride in your kink, you know? That gimpsuit is just shoddy workmanship.

“Congratulations! You’re both very special.”

Funny. Normally we call people selling these kinds of products criminals and attempt to shut them down. Turns out those naughty lads were just going about it the wrong way. They should have gone public, floated the company and sold for dollars instead of bitcoin, and suddenly everything would magically have been just fine.

It’s a neat trick, and it works for other unsavory things normally not allowed too: “Unregulated militias and arms trafficking” becomes a “PMC”, “kidnapping and slavery” becomes “prison services” etc.

Same old tired song and dance.

Components of GNU Health, perhaps?

There’s this, even
