I imagine they could if they knew exactly what you did and when, but if it doesn’t get discovered until later and nobody knows what happened, it would probably be a bitch to figure out

Ayy ;)

I’ve read a series called “Galaxy’s Edge”, and in it, the 1% on earth had furthered their stranglehold on media, propaganda, resources, etc, and Earth was finally crumbling. Food wars, corporate armies, the whole shebang. Eventually, the 1% pooled their resources together to just leave Earth on massive colony ships, ditching the unwashed masses to die in pursuit of a new start.

What makes me laugh is that once they all dipped, earth just… Recovered. Got through the hard times and developed hyperdrive to jump off into the stars themselves, getting to all the planets thousands of years before the slower-than-light colony ships the original 1% left in. When they finally start emerging from the dark of interstellar space, their zealous beliefs that they’re the most important people in the universe has convinced them to chase down fucked up biotech and they’re all post human monstrosities hell bent on destroying the “animals” who have lived in relative harmony without their existence.

Can’t help but feel like that rings a bell. The billionaires will rape our planet to death and then just dust off in private space ships leaving us for dead. If we pull through, they’ll come back to keep raping.

Holy crap everything you were saying was hitting word chords in me, so relatable, then you said Monticello. I just moved to Earl Park, was going to have to decide between Century Link and satellite, then Mainstream came through like a week before I closed on the house and installed cheap fast fiber.

For a hot minute there I misread, I thought Intel was leaving the business off making PC parts entirely, not just these small form computers. Really rustled my jimmies
