Constant electronic surveillance, facial recognition software, algorithms that decide what you get to see and not the other way around. Would this have fit a cyberpunk movie from the early 90s? Yes. Are they all real now? Also yes.

We used to have rockets. They were cheap, too. The government scrapped our space launch programme - so we have to spend money abroad to get our satellites into orbit. Not that it's that simple, but never mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Arrow

They pay as much as the government legally demands. If there were no minimum wages, these companies would be paying you barely anything at all. It's all about feeding the bellies of greedy CEOs and making sure the company is way more rich then they'll show for it. Then they want money for a little cup of water and fire Tim Hortons staff for giving away a .15 cent timbit to a toddler.

supply and demand. liberals seem to think they have some value just because they showed up, lol. here I am, a special snowflake, unique in my uniquness... love me! lol. But in the real world, you're nothing, you're valueless... you're only 1:8,200,000,000... and you aren't special. in fact, most of you are a cancer... you weigh down society. you subtract instead of add. then, when someone is super successfull, and is enjoying the fruits of his choices... you b***h and moan about it, because it shatters your worldview that you're just as special, just as important, and carry just as much value. you try to prentend your way into "fairness", but that would literally k**l humanity. equalization is the heat death of the universe. life stops at true equality...

    We've been living on a diet of rich people, over paid CEOs, lack of concern for employees, purchases of extra luxury items for so long. So yeah, to see someone murder a CEO is heartening to many. The reasoning may vary, but the murder was justified for many people, even though it was murder.

    News has an incredibly short attention span. There’s always something more imperative, more stirring, and novel to report on. I’m not sure what more people expect to hear. That being said, Mangione was just in the news today.

    In 2025, it's no longer unusual to overhear people half-serious, or full-on joking, that they believe they're living in a dystopia. The word has transferred from a type of fiction to a commonly used phrase in mundane contexts, sprinkled with irony and unease. But the feeling isn't just melodrama; it's the result of a coming together of global issues, technology anxiety, and the strange cadence of modern life.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Part of the sense of dystopia comes from how rapidly the world changes, often in ways that feel out of our control. Technology is advancing faster than laws, ethics, or even social norms can keep up. Artificial intelligence can write essays, generate images, and mimic voices, which leaves many people unsettled about what’s real and what’s manufactured.

    Even Eastern-Europe provides this. Sure, comparing to western/nordic part of it, it's a "lower".standard of life, but nothing to be compared to the stress-level, what an equally hard-working person in Europe may/would/can face in given situation, ,ike a medical emergency. And just to mention: in european countries not the standard to take a second job just to be able to pay your minimal living. Is an exception. In fact -for example- in Germany, you can take legally just one more job beside your whole time one. And that's a mini-job. Which means, weekly maximum 8 hours, for 560 euro/month.

    All Israel has to do is let it in and pause bombing. This is disgusting. I've never disliked Israel more, and the US would call me an "antisemite" because I disagree with Netanyahu and wish he were burning in hell right now. Many in the US can't understand that people can have compassion for Palestinians without it equating to support for Hamas, who has killed far fewer people than Israel has. I'm disgusted to be an American, not only due to the two raging wars we seem to be supporting, but we have a total idiot for a president and his cabinet is a confederacy of dunces (which was a good book).

Let the stupid air-heads of the world get brainwashed with lies and blame Israel on everything instead of understand what those f*ckers are to and were up to in the first place.

Dont you think donald trump should benefit from my infants gerd from supplemental formula? PARENTS!! This is not directed at you. Formula is amazing! How many people are alive today because of it!? Breastfeeding was the most difficult part of parenting for me (and some of my kids are adults now!) And i felt so bad when i struggled and i shouldn't have. My point is that its hard enough without the government/corps making it harder. Youre fantastic

    There are so many ways to hide wealth ... I so agree that we need to raise taxes on the wealthy (even me - far from mega wealth but doing well) but the mega-wealthy will always find the loopholes to disguise their wealth from governments.

    I have 2 friends (a couple) their children are raised, getting close to retirement and have begun to travel! These people are not rich...they share a Sorento. They did a few resorts and would tell me about how much they loved it! Last summer they did an all inclusive resort in south America (puerto rico i believe) on the way from the airport to their destination, poor children chased after them, begging for anything theyd share. They were sick. They wondered how they were to relax w/ their cocktails and enjoy the sun...while kids waited near the dumpster for their scraps. They got rid of a trip a year to donate to the area but i dont understand how most people can exist in abundance knowing you have neighbors dying of heat strokes and starvation. That s**t keeps me up at night. I give and help as much as i can...im a waitress. They have millions...billions!? We need to be appreciative of our bare minimums bc those are others goals

    I guess they feel kids get enough calories from eating air. The "pro-life" bunch supports cutting aid to families or people in need, forces birthing, supports the stripping of healthcare access, refuses to build/fund affordable housing, refuses to raise the minimum wage or provide a living wage, supports minors working like adults, and allocates for the dismantling of the Dept of Education and all of the protections it provides. Until people stop voting against their best interests and based on hate we are screwed. Granted some of these problems are not new but the same group of people constantly vote against helping Americans citizens because of "woek, socialism, Marxism, or some other B.S. word they have convinced others to negatively buy in to. Look into some of the reactions for universal school meal programs.

    At the same time, climate fear hangs over daily life. Severe weather occurrences happen more frequently and are more prominent, bogged down on social media feeds at the moment. Fires, floods, and heatwaves that previously appeared to be unusual are now part of the normal scenery. To young people especially, the notion of inheriting a damaged earth provides fuel to the sense of being caught up in a story with no evident cheerful ending. It isn't that the world has ended, but that the future appears increasingly fragile.

    This will be an interesting experiment, eliminating cheap labor. And the headline is right. That undocumented cheap labor was exploited but they wanted the jobs because the conditions at home were worse. What's next - using prisoners housed in privately owned prisons to do these jobs, encouraging more prison population? Dystopian indeed.

    The headline misunderstands what the billboard was saying. The billboard isn't advocating for exploitation. It's pointing out that banning immigrants from working in order to ensure that Americans have jobs is going to result in the opposite effect. Instead of making things better, it will make things worse.

    People gripe about the "left-leaning media." Why do journalists lean left? Is it because they seek truth? Investigate deeply? Hear people's personal stories? Yearn for justice? Get paid the big bucks for shilling for the "deep state"? One of these answers is wrong.

    People gripe about the "left leaning media" because US citizens have been trained by their overlords to have a Pavlovian reaction to such claims. If it's called "left", it's "bad" - thinking doesn't come into it, it's a belief burned into their bones. Honest journalists are mostly politically neutral (aka "commie subversives" or "radical left terrorists" or whatever if they uncover government wrongdoing - despite them being politically neutral). The dishonest journalists are mostly working for the rich and powerful enemies of the people. These shills working for the enemies of the people do everything they can to silence those honest journalists who are just trying to tell the truth. Why? Because the pay is good and all they care about is themselves. So they lie, and make out the the honest, politically neutral reporters are part of a far left terrorist conspiracy attempting to pollute America's precious bodily fluids. Dr Strangelove ref, yes - but some GOPniks really do sound that mad these days.

    Of the Journalists killed in Gaza, 62% were also dual members of Hamas's combat wing, and legit targets, 10% were killed while being with terrorists, 3% were killed in conditions in violation of international law, and the rest we are unsure of why. SO lets stick to facts about, just bc you also do freelance journalism, if you are part of Hamas's combat arm, you are an armed combatant. For example, Anas Al-Sharif, who worked for AlJiz, had been a member of Hamas since 2013, and was involved in over 20 battles with Israel this war alone, and was involved with Oct 7. He half 2 jobs, a commander in Hamas's military wing and a journalist, but he was a legit target

    Politics infuses an added layer of dystopia. Polarization bites harder than ever, stoked by social media echo chambers where compromise is unthinkable. The sheer volume of disinformation, propaganda, and conspiracy theories gives the impression that truth is precarious. When citizens cannot even agree on basic facts, it creates an environment in which distrust is the norm, not the exception. Most dystopian fiction survives on the vagueness of fact and fantasy, and in 2025, that notion seems more like daily reality and not so much fiction.

    Question worth asking actually. My brother is an architect, and I asked him a couple of years ago something like: "if we have all these abandoned commercial properties in cities now, why not modify them into residential buildings? Wouldn't that 'k**l two birds..blah blah?". What he told me is that it's not that simple. First there are zoning laws that developers would have to get around, but then there are requirements that an apartment complex has to meet, that aren't necessary for commercial properties. Things like plumbing, electrical, fire safety, ingress and egress, etc. For many commercial buildings, the cost of conversion is so high, it would be cheaper to knock them down and start again. That said, I imagine the cost of a forced labor camp is likely not quite so high as a residential space.

    Bu**s**t to the housing "crisis". I have seen numbers that there are about 16 million vacant dwelling units in the US. A great many of them are owned by a very small number of hedge-fund/venture capital vulture and being kept off the market to keep rents high. In some communities 2 or 3 companies own the majority of rental properties and can manipulate the market conditions at will.

    of course, housing shortages are not the issue, right? you can buy a house right now if you want... there's plenty of inventory all over the country. the issue is... libtards! Biden shut us down, kept us down, inflation soared, housing soared, interest rates soared, we lost thousands of businesses, millions of jobs, and flooded the economy with printed money... money that devalued itself as it was being printed. and, did you ever ask yourself why illegal immigration is such an issue? cause Bush was kicking people out, Clinton was, Obama was, Trump did... then Biden... just stopped. He opened the border, killed the wait in MX stuff Trump had going... just opened the door... and let all the good AND all the bad come waltzing in... and now, we're f'ed... so all modern problems you are facing right now, whether it's lack of good jobs, homes, interest rates, homlessness, crime and d***s and such in your state, and the needs we have to for jails and detention centers... your fault. :)

    You are correct, they are not. However, the message from the media and business is that the onus is on private citizens to do their part for the environment (true) but ignore the fact that no matter how careful they are, business-related pollution VASTLY outstrips it. Pollution will only be controllable if businesses want it to be.

    It sounds so familiar to me ... because, I was growing up in an ex-communist eastern-european country. Congratulation to the USA! They finally reached that point, where Eastern-Europe was between 1945-1989.

    Sorry Squirrel but the heavily armed rednecks are collaborators with the regime. When they aren't bloviating cowards. I have so many family members that have said this before but invariably the "enemies"are always the left/Democrats/non Christians etc. If someone from Eastern Europe is saying our country is like theirs we may want to listen.

    There’s also the subtle but pervasive impact of constant connectivity. Smartphones, social media, and 24-hour news cycles mean that people rarely disconnect from the churn of crises, scandals, and bad news. Even joyful or ordinary moments are filtered through screens, liked, shared, and commodified. Dystopia is often depicted as dehumanization, and in many ways the digital age creates a softened version of that: people become data points, engagement metrics, or avatars in endless online discourse.

    Check out commercial property. It's running 20% vacant at least. Apparently there's no incentive to rent it out so the existing tenants just pay more CAM. The owner doesn't care. They've got their pound of flesh. The last commercial property I worked at that was all leased property had about 40,000 square feet sitting empty with no interest in moving in new tenants. It was like that for the 4 years I worked there. They didn't even advertise the property. They got their $11 a square foot plus over $30 a square foot for CAM. They didn't care. Like I said, they got theirs. No reason to rent more space when they can squeeze the current tenants for every penny. Rent $2,000/mo, CAM $12,000/mo. No option to pay your own utilities, fictitious cost for common areas. Terrible janitorial service. Inconsistent heat and cooling. For as bad residential is, commercial is far more stupid.

    There are about 3 1/2 million apartments and 1 million houses that are vacant in America. One reason that there are so few vacant houses is that in many states -- particularly the ones with the most expensive houses and most homeless -- you can actually occupy a vacant home and even eventually own it. The rental vacancy rate includes turnover, and is actually quite low compared to historic norms.

    But it's not just outside forces, it's the emotional load that generates the dystopian feeling. Most people have a feeling of helplessness. When crises pile up, whether economic turmoil, global conflict, or epidemics, the individual feels small, unable to influence the direction of events. That lack of control is what lies at the core of the dystopian experience. It's not so much that things are hard, but that individuals feel caught up in systems larger than themselves, systems they had no hand in creating but must navigate.

    The only way to ensure you don't give more power to the rich is to minimize your consumption. Don't buy what they're selling! In fact, minimize what you buy in general. We buy our food directly from a farm. We don't buy "things" for the most part. We save most of our money that isn't spent on food, bills and housing and we spend our limited free time meal prepping, hiking with our dog, playing guitar and banjo, and playing old video games. You don't have to be an obedient consumer.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Ironically, one of the reasons dystopian mood is so effective in 2025 is because humor is becoming a survival strategy. Memes about late-stage capitalism collapsing, crumbling infrastructure, or AI chatbots rebelling against their developers spread like fire because they enable individuals to chuckle over the absurdity of their predicament. Joking about dystopia becomes a way of softening its rough edges, turning existential dread into something tolerable and almost laughable.

No.... when someone who barely graduated high school goes $100k+ into debt chasing a degree that either has no marketable value, or is oversaturated to the point that there are 5 applicants for every available job, that's what happens. I spent the better part of a decade positive that i was going to pursue Computer animation/CAD....it wasn't until i was starting to apply to schools that i thought to look into the actual job market, stability, pay, hours....$150k debt to have zero stability, 60-90 hour weeks and a salary range of $30-$70k wasn't the dream i made it out to be.

    And as this argument continues to perpetuate there are quite literally, millions of unfilled skilled trade jobs in the US, and it's a problem that has persisted for decades. Jobs that start at $20-$25 per hour while you're trained, up to multiple hundreds of dollars per hour once you actually learn the trade effectively. Saying "oh if it doesn't fix everything for everyone, it's pointless" is stupid.

    Greed and capitalism are to blame. Companies believed that over time, no one would notice price hikes. That's why a cheeseburger was once 79 cents and is now $2.29. And landlords raising rents every year, for no reason but to make more money.

    In fact, the world of 2025 is not a dystopia in the classical sense. Unlike the rigorously bleak worlds of Huxley or Orwell, there are still decisions, breakthroughs, and people working for better outcomes. But the homologies are hard to miss: surveillance, climatic uncertainty, political fragmentation, and the erosion of privacy. When people say that they live as if they are in a dystopia, it is not necessarily about making exact comparisons but more about the sense of living in a world where the warning signs from yesterday's fiction now bear a disturbing resemblance to today's headlines.

Actually, I've already got an arrangement with my mechanic, he wants my car for his daughter when she reaches 16. In about 5 years. I'm feeling less and less comfortable driving and I know the car I've poured so much love - and so little money! - into will have a good home. (So little money because it's a good car and hasn't needed much.)

    No homes were burned in the largest of the fires. Not one. What here requires presidential input. Meanwhile, the reason North Carolina voted for Trump is because the Biden administration turned away private hurricane relief efforts AT GUNPOINT, and then warned FEMA workers to stay away from homes that had Trump signs.

    Homes were lost and FEMA went in only to be chased away by homeowners at gunpoint because MAGA started a rumor that accepting FEMA help meant that the government would own your home. Which is complete bullśhit. It was FEMA and the volunteers that were turned away.

    One big contrast I've noticed between the USA and Canada, in Canada you will see Indigenous chiefs and their people speaking on matters that involve our resource and land planning, as well as government matters. Our country still has a lot to do in terms of reconciliation of past atrocities done to the Indigenous, sure. However, we have been acknowledging these issues and trying to improve these relations. I never hear of Native Americans in USA news, unless it's about a national park or something happened in their communities. I am very curious to hear from their Indigenous leaders on what's been happening in the USA.

    Just wait until the impact of this disaster is realised. There is a method to process undocumented people. However, if they aren't criminals and contributing to society why not give them a quicker pathway to citizenship? Why are we cancelling visas for students and workers? We are already starting to feel it. Look at tourism. We have World Cup matches and the Olympics coming to the US but I highly doubt we will have many foreign visitors enjoying in these events. This country currently repeating and rewriting history at the same time. Hate and a superiority complex will make people commit some obscene and despicable atrocities.

    Yeah, and they did it without imprisoning them for life in a t*****e prison, without even proving they were here illegally (and in at least one case, it was definitely known he was here legally). You know who benefits from all this? The people who have invested in private prisons. You notice you don't hear about how Trump decided to spend an extra 160 billion on the judicial side so that we could get people processed faster. They longer they keep them imprisoned before deporting or letting them go, the richer some people get.

    One thing people don't realize is it's typically not software developers going into real, live data and pulling it for reports. They build apps, then they put access controls on those apps, then only those people with need-to-know are able to pull data, and under strict controls. That's how it works at most security-conscious companies. People pull the data who know how to analyze it. I'm a software developer. I wouldn't know jack all about improving efficiency at government agencies. Why would ANYBODY think that DOGE's software developers be able to do that? It's no different than asking the plumber or the nurse to do that analysis.

    Yeah, the current german Chancellor gifted him a gold-framed copy of his Grandpa's birth certificate. The Grandpa that ran a brothel, fled from military service in his home country and screwed over basically everyone doing any business with him. But, it worked out as planned - Lil' Donny was so excited about his new Blingblingthing, that he forgot to berate and demand entirely. Lesson taken - if you, for whatever reason, need Trump to agree, or at least not interfere, gift him some cheap and shiny shid. Will appease him. It's still not sure how far this can be taken, but we'll find out eventually.

Now Lebanon has been able to get a President that Hezbollah was preventing, allowed the Lebense military for the first time in decades to be more powerful and actuall secure the country, etc

    The solution is to eradicate Hamas. That's it. They are the problem. Their charter literally spells out intention of genocide, holy war and jihad to achieve those ends, and a flat out refusal to negotiate any resolution that includes sharing of the "holy land" between muslims and jews. Hamas has initiated FIVE wars since taking power in 2007, they have taken billions upon billions in global funding and invested not in the land, nor the people....but in guns, bombs and soldiers. Hamas routinely, and systematically endangers and neglects their own people simply to be able to convince the virtue signaling masses that israel is the "real" problem. Without a hint of irony, we have a non-zero sum of people equating israel to literal n**i's, ignorant of the fact that palestine has been overrun with Arabic translated copies of " Mein Kampf" As far as Hamas and their supports see it, their "solution" is detailed in those pages.

    Honestly, I’m so sick of the reactions to this war. It’s either zombified Jews and their supporters who keep chanting the mantra “Israel can do no wrong” and are ready to justified every atrocity if it’s committed by a Jew. Or it’s some demented antisemitic morons who equate Israel with the Nazis and bleat “free Palestine”, as though Palestinians were innocent little lambs and not brainwashed followers of an inherently violent religion that dictates them to conquer or destroy anyone who disagrees with the opinions of their pedophile “prophet”. Seriously, I’m so sick of both sides. F**k those who support Israel, and f**k those who support Palestine.

Could it be because Hamas charter cites "The complete destruction of Israel as an essential condition for the liberation of Palestine and the establishment of a theocratic state based on Islamic law (Sharia), The complete destruction of Israel as an essential condition for the liberation of Palestine and the establishment of a theocratic state based on Islamic law (Sharia), The need for both unrestrained and unceasing holy war (jihad) to attain the above objective, The deliberate disdain for, and dismissal of, any negotiated resolution or political settlement of Jewish and Muslim claims to the Holy Land, and The reinforcement of historical anti-Semitic tropes and calumnies married to sinister conspiracy theories." https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2023/10/hamas-covenant-israel-attack-war-genocide/675602/

    Are you blind? The Brits gave them a set amount of land in 1948, and theyve been stealing ever since. Hamas started nothing

    Every death belongs to Ham@s. Release the hostages and surrender. War ends.

    Epstein, are you still here? I though you would have keeled over from an embolism by now, the way you are ranting and raving.

    Uh...it's not? There's no murder. There is a military response to an(other) act of terror committed by a Mooslim country whose people were left to govern themselves so they elected a militant terrorist group. Ya reap what ya sow

    F**k Hamas and F**k the Israeli government. The violence has to stop and the Palestinians should be able to live on their own land.

    Can’t reply to D because he was downvoted to oblivion. Dude, you’re saying most Gazans are recent arrivals from the 19th century. Maybe so, but what about most Israeli Jews? They are even more recent arrivals from Russia, Morocco, and Brooklyn. What an irony! You gotta stop peddling this one-sided biased nonsense, you sound just like the Israel-haters on the other side. You guys both suck beyond belief.

    This is a complex lie and blood libel.

    100% false. I know Bored Panda is a shitmeme site, but JFC I didn't expect it to be a mouthpiece for HamA$$ too. Israel exists because Jews were slaughtered and expelled from Moooslim countries. Gaza and Palestine have been free for decades. The people chose to elect a militant terrorist organization. You reap what you sow. The men in this photo have muffin tops and beer bellies. As someone who has starved myself, I can sjavascript:void(0);aw with certainly that those are not signs of starvation. HamA$$ is hoarding food for themselves. They don't give a s**t about the people who elected them. Too bad. Quit blaming Israel for your own mistakes and FIGHT BACK

    The population of "palestine" in 2023 was 5.45 million people. After nearly two years of war (instigated by Hamas and the Palestinians who support them) the population is now....5.6 million. Do you people really think genocide means population increase? Hamas' charter explicitly details their goal of "eradicating israel and all within" engaging in holy war to achieve that end, and never, ever, ever, ever negotiating an eventuality that involves sharing of the holy land with jews. FFS....you people would have been simping for Germany during WW2. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2023/10/hamas-covenant-israel-attack-war-genocide/675602/

    LMFAO Dude.... do you even know about the Catholic Church? Seems like being around kiddie fiddling priests is pretty dangerous too. (Oh, and would someone tell him about Yemen, Syria, Sudan, PRC)?

    Unless it's an outdoor stage during the day, performers see barely anything due to the bright spotlights, and they're busy paying attention to audio and remembering their performance they've been rehearsing.

    Having been on stage more than once with bright spotlights, I can say from personal experience that this is true. Couldn't see a darn thing.
