Would new Forest live through the 90s-20s instead of the 50s-90s?
I’m not sure it’d make a good story. The technology is what changed the world in the past 30 years. The 1960s were a super tumultuous time and make a good sorry.
I can see some minor benefits - I use it for the odd bit of mundane writing and some of the image creation stuff is interesting, and I knew that a lot of people use it for coding etc - but mostly it seems to be about making more cash for corporations and stuffing the internet with bots and fake content.

We use LLMs to improve worker efficiency. There is a ton of taking info from here and there and entering it into our system. AI took the workload from humans doing data entry and freed the humans up to do less tedious things.
Specifically, how you get money from these “third world countries”?
There’s nothing wrong with being paid by a nation for doing work for them.
The first half “I pay for all monthly subscriptions”, good as a functioning member of society you need to pay your bills. There is nothing controversial about it. You could have omitted that part.

You’ve been lied to. Recycling plastic was never about saving the planet. It was too get consumers to be okay polluting with plastic. That isn’t changing. Recycling plastic is not the answer. It never was. The oil lobby spent millions to trick you into using plastic.
The article says that new recycling processes just create other pollution.
To solve this, we stop using petroleum based plastic.

For me it was GoT, I just thought the miniature landscapes looked way too cool. Also I am watching Kimmy Unbreakable which has a theme song that I think is pretty catchy.
I’m not familiar with in n out. Most chain burger places cost their fries in chemicals to make them crunchy longer. A natural cut fry becomes unappetizing like 10 minutes after it’s out if the fryer.
There are trade offs with each way.
One is “cleaner” or maybe purer One has a better customer experience
If that’s the case, why didn’t they pass any meaningful bill in the first 2 years of his presidency?
He didn’t champion anything, so Congress didn’t give him any bills to sign that he wanted.
It’s not 3d chess. Hell, it’s not even checkers. It’s that Republicans are stuck with this moron that a significant, and very loud percentage of their base LOVES.
I knew a health inspector. He commented that guaranteed the cleanest restaurant kitchen in every town was a taco bell. Apparently they aggressively train employees and managers to clean way more than other restaurants.
