Idiocracy sadly was the only futuristic story to get it right. Wall-ee probably a pretty safe bet too.
At this point, any "blue future" sci-fi writers still out there are disillusioned dreamers.
Its good to see congress focusing on the real issues finally. When I pay taxes, this is what I'm looking for. Hopefully they will get around to legalizing kicking homeless people and children in the face soon as this is another one of my priorities.
Ha. I like the vga part but the part that makes your usb - c connector look like an old fashioned proprietary apple lightening connector is just too much!
Yup. I love a good microwaved samosa or Chana masala and it's easier than grilling a frozen chemical burger frankly. I don't think convenience is a fair argument here. Microwaved Chana is nowhere as good as a freshly made 3hour dish, don't get me wrong, but there are convenience options that aren't vegan chicken nuggets.
Not sure why you are having trouble finding support or what anal tugging even is, but looking at Americans at least. They get a new car. On average every 6 to 8 years. A decently maintained car will easily last 11-14 years. If you are finding a better explanation that genralizes than what I described to explain this gap I'd love to hear it
"Buying a new car is worse than keeping an old one" is an incredibly situational phrase that has a million exceptions for so many people.
Yeah, but this still holds a lot of water. More often than not people buy a new car to have a new car or even worse they buy one specificcally because they are misguidedly trying to lessen their carbon footprint.
