I’d hate to break this to you, but the cyberpunk dystopian capitalist hellscape is in its infancy. It’s barely learning to crawl yet.
Enjoy the next thousand years or so… if you can…

For those wondering what typically defines the cyberpunk literary genre, its key elements include:
High-tech, low-life scenarios: Advanced technology, such as cybernetics, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality, is prevalent, but it exists alongside widespread societal breakdown and poverty.
Dystopian future:
The settings are typically bleak and oppressive, often dominated by powerful corporations or decentralized, corrupt power structures.Impact of technology on humanity:
Cyberpunk explores how technology shapes society, culture, and individual identity .Antiheroes and rebellion:
Characters are often morally ambiguous rebels fighting against oppressive systems.Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 4 hours ago
I hate to break it to you but cyberpunk is a critique of today’s world. Tomorrow can always get much worse.

The reappropriation of the Buc-ees beaver is similar to the reappropriation of Mickey Mouse by punks in the 70’s.
Nothing says 'Muricah more than Buc-ees (and maybe us flag bathing shorts). It is a mecca for meat, oversized sodas and snacks, petrol consumption, and nice toilets to shit all the garbage you’ve consumed.
An .ml account in the Fediverse sporting the ultimate symbol of American consumerism is exactly what I’m going for.

I’m sure it’s true for some women. But I wouldn’t be surprised if most working women were either married or in a committed relationship. Plus, a lot of households have two incomes out of necessity. Both partners need to work full time just to make ends meet.

Yeah I’m short as fuck and socially inept. They’re certainly not going to date me because I’m attractive.

You just have to get older. I have it on good authority that the law of supply and demand turn things around - men can be old enough to have made money while still being able to date women young enough to not have made money (and no, we’re not Epstein related)

Women hate men. They don’t date men, go out with them, hang out, marry them, fuck them or become their girlfriends. This is known since time immemorial.

One of my friends is going through a divorce and one of the reasons his wife gave us is that he would sit in his car in the driveway and look at his phone for a bit when he got home. There are other reasons but that one stuck out to me.

That was all the salesmen at one place I worked. Mormons with tons of kids. They’d go anywhere in the world to get away from them.

In the early nineties I knew a Mormon man with a happy housewife & 10 kids and he would run a marathon by himself every day just to be out of the house.

To be fair, parenting is a pretty shitty gig. Expectations are high and support is low. People judge everything you do, especially those who have never done it themselves. Even with good kids its a thankless slog most of the time. God help you if you get a hard one.

Women need to get over their obsession with gay men we are not interested in them that’s kinda what being gay is all about.

The other kind of bears, because if we’ve learned anything from the internet it’s that women would rather date the animal bears than men… or something like that.

Variation on the joke.
Parents of a high school age boy and girl have a photo on the living room wall.
It’s a picture of a fat, bald old man in a Speedo standing on a yacht with a pretty girl hugging him.
“It’s to inspire our kids to stay in school and get good grades. We want our son to try and be like the man, and our daughter not to be like the woman who is with him.”

Traditionally, men have been taught that to get married or have a partner, they need to be the breadwinner. This is partly due to women not having the right to own property, have a bank account, or credit cards until the 1960s/1970s. This means that there is a subset of men raised to believe having a job makes them an attractive partner, and that’s the only thing they need to be an attractive partner.
Women on the other hand, have been entering the workforce, and the pay gap has narrowed. Now women make on average $0.85 to every dollar a man makes. Women can be and are financially independent. So now, as a man or potential partner, you have to bring more to the table than having a job.
I think this has led to the incel crisis. You have a subset of men that are emotionally stunted because they were not taught better; while women have a the peace and security that independence brings and they aren’t going to disrupt that for just anyone.

I’m a woman and this is true for me. The only exception will be if I ever meet a man I am in love with, and he loves me back, and he has a big house in California and he wants me to live there with him.

Similar to my comment to those that inquire about my continuing fourteens years of celibacy since my divorce.
“If I every get married again it will have to be rich super model or I’m just not interested.”

If that ever happens you’ll hate yourself for being so vain as to ignore chemistry and personality and the relationship will likely crash fast.
