Terminators never turn into buildings or vehicles. [Transformers do.](https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Titan_(group))

Which is why I created a sub (/r/tf_politics) to track all this TF tech in the wild.

TFW aside from the ancient alien part you’re more likely to experience [insert Transformers movie here] than say Goodfellas.

Transformers shit IRL is a huge theme of the '20s imo.

Hoping for a relatively peaceful downfall or drastic reform of the Chinese regime. We do not want another Syria in the heart of Asia.

Hopefully someone tells Xi to chill before we get North Korea 2 or Chinese Civil War 2. Not a big fan of coups in general but one may be inevitable.

I know I shouldn't have picked "Transformers movie" as my respawn location.

Autonomous vehicle tech also scales down to delivery robots and drones and up to semi trucks. It’s neat to see some cutting edge technology that’s still progressing as opposed to barely keeping up with setbacks (eg medicine in the COVID age).

So now they're being lumped in the same naughty bin as Arabs (whose current problems stem greatly from Islamism)? I don't want to live on a planet where Western-but-poor Latin Americans are seen as a "third world" people.

If the language stays, I don't mind. And it's ridiculous that East Asians would disappear; worst case they reflect their global share of the population.

At a certain point, countries will have to choose between sharp decline, mass immigration, or breeding programs that make post-Roe Texas look liberal…and deteriorating relations between nations as well as resource shortages could make immigration politically poisonous.

Fiji and other mountainous Pacific islands have also been courted as candidates. Kiribati iirc has an agreement with them. Unless it’s warming as opposed to just sea level rise.

At this point, GTA 6 will have to be GTA: Autobot City.

The war worsened inflation by interrupting energy, grain, and critical element trade involving Russia and Ukraine.

Which is why only radicals want to ban car use on a metropolitan or national scale. Moderate levels of car use in a walkable metropolis is the way to go!

The US and Europe are largely overcorrecting from excessive car use. Very few multi-city countries are anywhere near Singapore.
