If it bad that I actually envy people who ''won't be around to see'' what the future of this world holds where technology becomes too advanced for our own good? Like a couple of blokes at work in their 60s were saying about self-driving cars and buses, and they seemed relieved when they said that they are unlikely to be around to suffer it but that I will. My heart sank. Not just about self-driving vehicles but with everything. Can't these geniuses that invent all this futuristic technology actually stop to think that what purpose would humans serve on this planet if everything we can possibly do becomes replaced by robots? I don't want that. I want to be able to think for myself.

The Millennium Bug did happen, because ever since the year 2000 we've become obliged to be too dependant on technology, where as before 2000 technology was a useful tool or a luxury. Now it's a ''you must have or you won't be able to function in this society'' thing.

I can relate to that feeling. The future of the UK itself also.

The way it looks/feels to me is that we are heading for the apocalypse.

This stuff is mass media induced consumption . And believe me , it is intentional and based on years of use of practiced and proven methods .Since a dept was established ,sometime around ww2 Dating very far back in the history of Governments :twisted: "Committee on Public Information"And yes since the 50s and 60s businesses :roll:
have been making money off this stuff. Besides no worry, had let up on drinking years ago . But never claimed to be a tea totaler . Just not a drinker , but allow me to say here, have kept a collection of some very potent and exotic alcohols ,collected over a lifetime.When I could afford to buy that one odd bottle every few years. And never hardly used,As a just incase ,I get that "once in a lifetime chance" to " Watch the Balloon go up " Get that folding chair up on the roof . But only after dosing myself with several iodine tablets and plenty of water :nerdy: , just incase of not dying instantly . :skull:


If it’s any consolation at all, dig up a crude shelter below ground (remember to make it large enough), air filtration, plenty of non-perishable food at the least. In theory if you were able to be there on time or in the lowest level of a building, you would survive the worst of the radiation unless you didn’t die immediately.

I just noticed this now.

Personally, my heart sinks at the thought of self-driving cars. That's the whole point of a car, to drive.

What next, a fleshlight/dildo that f***s itself? :lol:

The world already ended in 2012, we're all just sitting in the movie theatre, waiting to see if there's an after-credits scene...

Just like in Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.
He keeps showing up, and one by one, other people stop coming in.

We just need Ziggy Stardust to come down and tell us that we've got five years left.
