    Earth will level up and we will all awaken the use of mana. With this we will solve the fosil fuels crisis, solve world hunger, unite humanity, create wealth parity and AI will be obsolete. But we will have to sent our earthen warriors to represent us in a battle royal against alliens whose planets also leveled up. If our warriors do well, we will unlock even more mana, but if they do badly, we won’t improve our mana capacities.

    That or same as the past years, just everything a little bit shittier. I’m hoping for #1 for obvious reasons.

        I wasn’t really really going for a certain work or franchise but rather using a very commun trope in Korean comics.

        Is Goblinization worth a read?

          That’s what the event is called in the Shadowrun lore in which people spontaneously started to turn into all sorts of meta humans. I would argue there are Shadowrun novels worth reading, yeah

    The same since 2010. Stupid people in charge making stupid decisions in favour of the few with money.

    A new plague, more global warning, and more wealth disparity. Continue that every year for the foreseeable future.

    The Bell Riots. Unfortunately that means we’re also on the wrong side of WW3 timeline wise but hey it’s progress right

    The prediction I’ve been making since he got reinstalled is that trump will be out of office one way or another by around March–sometime after the new Congress is sworn in. I should say IF it actually does get sworn in, which is not guaranteed whatsoever–repubs have a trick up their sleeves to use a technicality in the Constitution to refuse to seat them, and if they do, I don’t trust SCOTUS to try and stop them or succeed even if they do try.

    Others: Canada and the EU will become closer and both will continue to pull away from the US as well as US tech. They’ll also start building their militaries up more. Russia/Ukraine and US/Iran wars will drag on. Climate change will continue to be unaddressed by anyone.

    The AI bubble will probably burst in 2027 but it may take longer. The longer it takes the worse the economic effects will be.

    On the positive side,

    Hopefully (and I know kts just wishful thinking) a bunch of cunts in the White House and congress in prison, given that the midterms are a month or so away.

    Aliens. Fake alien invasion brought on by terminators who cause real aliens to come down and help us. It’ll be Independence Day for a couple of months, then we’ll transition to Star Trek, then eventually Star Wars by the end of the year
