    Hopefully (and I know kts just wishful thinking) a bunch of cunts in the White House and congress in prison, given that the midterms are a month or so away.

    The prediction I’ve been making since he got reinstalled is that trump will be out of office one way or another by around March–sometime after the new Congress is sworn in. I should say IF it actually does get sworn in, which is not guaranteed whatsoever–repubs have a trick up their sleeves to use a technicality in the Constitution to refuse to seat them, and if they do, I don’t trust SCOTUS to try and stop them or succeed even if they do try.

    Others: Canada and the EU will become closer and both will continue to pull away from the US as well as US tech. They’ll also start building their militaries up more. Russia/Ukraine and US/Iran wars will drag on. Climate change will continue to be unaddressed by anyone.

    The AI bubble will probably burst in 2027 but it may take longer. The longer it takes the worse the economic effects will be.

    On the positive side,

      On the positive side, MAGA might succeed in taking over Europe and Canada, to the point where they no longer offer any resistance. Yay.

    Earth will level up and we will all awaken the use of mana. With this we will solve the fosil fuels crisis, solve world hunger, unite humanity, create wealth parity and AI will be obsolete. But we will have to sent our earthen warriors to represent us in a battle royal against alliens whose planets also leveled up. If our warriors do well, we will unlock even more mana, but if they do badly, we won’t improve our mana capacities.

    That or same as the past years, just everything a little bit shittier. I’m hoping for #1 for obvious reasons.

      ah but you must be aware that the awakening of mana in humans will lead to wild animals awakening mana too. this in turn will cause most of the land on our planet to be overrun with beasts, while empowered birds and fish will make travel by boat/plane nearly impossible

        Yeah, but we can teleport, also some mana users may be able to tame or create artifacts to tame some mana beasts making them essential in everyday life. But yeah, at the start it would be quite a challange, specially the oceans as they are already scary enough without monsters in them.

        I wasn’t really really going for a certain work or franchise but rather using a very commun trope in Korean comics.

        Is Goblinization worth a read?

          That’s what the event is called in the Shadowrun lore in which people spontaneously started to turn into all sorts of meta humans. I would argue there are Shadowrun novels worth reading, yeah

    A new plague, more global warning, and more wealth disparity. Continue that every year for the foreseeable future.

                Lol you’re totally right I’m just playin. That’s still way too little for such a huge country!

                We really need a lot more. I rode the BART in the California Bay Area and it was awesome. I wish we could get that all over.

                  Just playin’ back. And we have lots more than a half dozen, but we really do need more.

                  I moved to Hampton Roads and actually have decent access to Amtrak (although haven’t had the money to go anywhere since we’ve been here), but the VAST majority of the nation has no easy access.

                  I’d much prefer that we had like half as much rail as we do air travel. I’d like it to be super common, and I’d like to take it everywhere :)

                  And yes, more light rail, too. We had DART add lines while I still lived in DFW, and that was nice - if you were anywhere close. heh

      Unaddressed population concern grow so much that it create a power vacuum that anyone can take ? Yeah it s already hapenning in the UE everywhere but I fail to see the link with nazi. But it s a good thing since it will shake the oligarch etablissment. And hopefully the UE that is so far away from citizen concern and got too much power recently
