Instead of “How are You?” try these Dystopia-Friendly alternatives:

  • I see you’re awake, my condolences

  • I hope you have some strong coffee

  • I can’t wait for the aliens to invade the earth

  • You need to find a seamstress for your raiding party

  • Did any of your crops survive the heatwave?

  • I sure hope this reality is just a simulation

    These are written by someone who thinks it’s normal that people in games just blurt out something like “patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for a nuclear winter” as you approach.

      I’m assuming it’s that your raiding party are the people you do direct action with, and having a seamstress among you is super useful and important because they can not only create and mend clothes and other useful items like blankets and tents and banners, but in a real bind they could potentially sew up a wound, too!

          I’m very much out of touch with most popular shows and games and such lol

          Having said that, I looked it up, and if you’re asking seriously and not just making a reference that’s gone over my head, I think the answer could be any really, depending on the person and what other skills they have.

        Right, thanks. I thought it was making reference to some media piece or something else

    IMO recent US events are fairly solid evidence that we’re in a simulation, and somebody is fucking with us.

      About the same number of assholes voted for The Idiot this time, last time, and the time before. All that changed is - fewer people voted to stop him.

      It’s still gonna be fucking miserable for everyone, including the assholes. They just don’t know it yet.

      Stop treating reasonable expectation of obvious problems as some kind of irrational… malingering. A fascist is taking the presidency. Why the fuck do you think how matters?
