Drive-by e-scooter shootings have been a thing here in Sweden, which I firmly place in the same cyberpunk bucket.
Shootings can’t happen in Europe
They frown on that sort of thing
Not only that…
Damn. Guess I’ll have to find another career path.
Damn, you beat me to it.
Sound logic
Not in America. Apparently if you’re a criminal in America you can run for president!
America has a strange relationship with the law. We both idealize and despise crime. Crime now is bad and scary (unless it’s your guys), but a lot of people will brag about their ancestors being criminals (especially mobsters). So you sometimes wind up with people who brag about being descended from mafiosos, listening to 90s gangster rap, and fearmongering about MS-13.
Checks notes
I think you mean be president.
This is America
In eastern cultures they have a concept which, when translated, is called “the law.” “The law” is about defining a set of rules to encourage people to behave in a way that is more appropriate for society.
That’s crazy, it would never work here
Sounds like socialism either way, and my wise elected leaders said that’s bad.
Nah, they happen. Just at way, way lower rates than in the U.S.
They do
No it’s illegal!
In Sweden, it’s forbidden by law to be a criminal.
Swede here, yeah they absolutely can.
Well, they’re illegal there aren’t they?

That’s it, I officially get my news mostly from memes
First time?
No, that’s kinda what I meant
Idgaf what anyone says, that mf is a hero
Masked Gunman 2028.
He’s got a plan to take down trump.
But he’s a felon! oh wait…
He hasn’t been convicted yet. I don’t think they’ll find a jury that will, either.
Fuck yes!

That’s the one fucking thing that I don’t understand about US psychos.
They like preying on the vulnerable
The rich and powerful control the narrative. They use that narrative to craft stories to keep people’s anger and extremism directed inwards.
This isn’t some great mystery. It’s just the reality of what tyranny actually looks like.
Is your username a Behold the Arctopus reference?
Thank you for reminding me that this band exists.
Check out their latest album, it’s on their bamdcamp and on Colin’s youtube channel, it’s unreal
Hell yeah, glad they’re still putting out new stuff
It’s so great knowing other people are aware of behold.
The world needs more Mike Lerner guitar solos, also check out Wax People (he’s not on any recordings yet, but metal needs more noisy wind instruments)
Check my avatar
Oh wow idk why but on my version of Voyager I can’t see any avatars to the point that I was certain that there are no user avatars in here at all ;/ I’ll assume it’s that awsome album artwork made by Voivod drummer (like all of the other bta artworks) but I really can’t see it(
Edit: I mean if I could see it I wouldn’t’ve asked about the username (presuming that it is that album’s cover)
Voivod drummer? Brother only one BTA album has artwork by Away, it’s the split that has Paincave.
My avatar is the Skullgrid artwork.
The rest of them were done by Terry Grow, who also did some of the Dysrhythmia artworks (Defo Terminal threshold, maybe Psychic maps)
Voivod drummer? link explaination
I added the chapelle show clip “Truck diver?” to indicate the tone of voice to read “Voivod Drummer?” , not the rest of the sketch
You’re right, thank you for the correction🤝
Really? You don’t understand how a mentally disturbed person can gain easier access to a kindergarten than a board room?
Perhaps the 9mm pistol is the guillotine of the next American revolution.
You’ve said this on so many posts I’m struggling to keep track of which ones I’ve seen before. It’s not a criticism, just saying you’re messing with my melon maaaan.
Wow, you weren’t kidding. I wish I had that much confidence in my comments
Sorry. I hope your melon has recovered.
absolutely
The more often I see this fact, the more I realize that none if it is satire
born too early to fight in the post-apocalypse wasteland, born too late to fight in the pre-apocalypse waste land, born just in time to fight billionaires in the peri-apocalyptic wasteland.
Of the 3 scenarios, this is the only one that lets me focus my rage on people who deserve it.
Wake the fuck up, samurai. We’ve got a CEO to ventilate.
Look, if Elon got run over by a Tesla, everyone would be laughing it off right now. If putin got smashed between a large truck and another large truck or by some other means like a large steel plate, everyone would be more than ecstatic. I would do a little dance myself. So I think we should just not try to figure out who did this too hard. It just happens sometimes. Right?
Cuz nobody figures out who denied your claim when your dad had to die right? Where’s the justice there? This is it! This is the justice. Don’t want it? Well then implement a better way to get justice. As, is, this is great.

This is part of the hell that we live in.
If you have a complaint about any corporation, you can’t do anything about it. They all run phone trees designed to waste your time and make it impossible to reach anyone who can actually do anything. They pay call center workers in India nothing to take the frustration which should be directed at the C-suites.
We live in a world with zero accountability for anyone with a sizable bank account.
Hey gun crime is just a reality we have to live with, according to the Republicans in Congress. So I don’t see any reason to make a big fuss just because this rich bastard accidentally feel into some bullets, instead of the usual bunch of innocent children or random black person the cops decided to shoot while face down and in handcuffs. No, I’m sure the police have much more serious police matters to attend to, like civil forfeiture on somebody carrying a large amount of cash or selling appropriated weapons to drug cartels.
Come now. Everyone knows pootin doesn’t like heights or falling out windows
Oh that’s right! He loves the planet. I wish to offer him a planet hug from 7 stories away.
If somehow Trump died because of a stupid mistake on his part I’d take the rest of the week off and dance like it’s THON

I think he should have demonstrated the use of that metal tube he wanted to use as a rescue sub to rescue those kids in the thai cave. Best way to demonstrate its safe is to go into it yourself.
Or he could use a pseudonym and work remote from one of the companies he owns and see how long he lasts as a worker. He thinks he can judge other peoples code? lets see his medicore bitchass show up and show us all how its done.
That guy sucks.
Maybe he could go get the remains of the Titan. Who knows what we could learn from that.
but wait, it gets even more cyberpunk: the security cam footage is on streamable! :o https://streamable.com/2e8p4v

God can we please get 4k security cameras before the first corpo war
No. It’s better this way.
Some people are still trying to buy 2mpx if it saves them money.
It’s down now. :(
Already down, shame.
It’s also on Wikipedia and Know Your Meme
Such a tragic loss! He’s going to miss those dictionary bullets! Each bullet comes with one word written on it…live, life, laugh are probably still I’m the barrel
There was that meme about things we are bringing back in the 2020s from the 1920s, that included anarcho-syndicalism.
I guess that was a miscalculation, we are actually bringing back even earlier forms of anarchism. 💣
Is “Propaganda of the Deed” gonna be the hottest new trend on Tik Tok in 2025? Wait and find out!
People got so hung up on cool cyberware and Johnny Silverhand that they completely forgot Cyberpunk was a warning.
who wouldn’t want to have e-narrator Keanu in their mind sarcastically commenting their every move ? I’ve already preordered
Look Mom, I’m on the top of Arasaka tower.
Did they put that in the game? If they did that is almost certainly a tip of the hat to Rico Rodriguez, from the Just Cause series
I think it’s from Edgerunners.
Ok, well then Edgerunners seems to be giving Rico a nod. That show came out decades after Just Cause, where if you manage to get to the highest point on any of the four maps, Rico says “Look Ma! Top of The World!” in JC1 and all subsequent games the line was, “Look Ma! Top of The World! … … again.”
Oh, they’re both quoting James Cagney in White Heat from 1949.
Fair enough. I am not sure how many James Cagney films I’ve seen, but I would wager that I could count them on one hand.
His defence will be that his Cyberdyne nanotech brain implants malfunctioned.
Now let’s add a bit of Ghost in the Shell where the shooter is invisible because no one has organic eyes anymore… And he has an electronic scrambling technology
I bet it was that guy who got denied an upgraded robotic leg battery.
wasn’t that also somehow a plotline on altered carbon?
Hmm yes with the Yakuza leader being killed I believe?
This felt more Snow Crash to me. The recent history of manipulation going on in social media is definitely Stand Alone Complex territory though.
He hacked my eyes!!
You forgot the funniest part from the movie: when the man was hacked into believing he had a wonderful life with a wife and daughter, when he was really just living in a tiny shitty apartment. Completely broke his mind lmao
😂
