Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given

no
build a peaceful agrarian society
grow dragontrees and once the dragons hatch, fly them to the sun
the world as a perpetual third world detroit
angry bald dads from that 70s show and dead building husks

We'll be sure to let the terminally ill patients in the ICU know you disapprove of their urgent need.
I'm sure they'll only pretend to be marginally offended.
How could any world involving Jean Claude Van Damme possibly be considered a bad thing?
I'm looking for PAX Badges! Please PM me if you have a Four Day, or any Single Day Badges to spare!

I wish I could see the future
i'd buy that for a dollar!!!!
welcome to the 22nd century
a little bit before our plane landed he informed me, with a big, earnest smile, that the world was absolutely going to end on dec 12 2012
i said "i hope not" amd asked him what he thought i should do about it
his advice was pretty good, i thought. he basically just said--"nothing! enjoy your two years. there's nothing you can do, so just enjoy the time you have left." he himself was flying a lot more, seeing his kids and family constantly and basically doing whatever he felt like. i don't know what he'll be thinking on dec 13 of that year, but for now he seems to be having a blast.

half the 3rd world is going to be underwater in 30~50 years time
causes stress on the rest of the world's already crumbling infrastructure and social services
mass privatisation sets in to offset government's dwindling revenues
death by mass starvation and/or even more corporatist states battling out over the last drops of oil
this is Pretty Obvious if you read a history book
IN THE FUTURE.
believe me I wouldn't mind being proven wrong
Or you know, none of this could happen so
people love living, even if it means amongst shit
the same classes, skills and worldviews will remain
they'll just be polarized
hell, we'll probably still have a good idea of how it all went shit, too. i mean, it's the information age

Really shoe it's not anything either of us will live long enough to see, I don't think.
It's an incredibly delicate and time consuming process to make any kind of engineered DNA work in ways that nature hasn't already perfected. Every cell in your body is the product of a few hundred million years of trial and error to see what works and what doesn't, and they all fit together and balance each other out.
Most likely what our generation will see out of this is the ability to fix a few problems related to replacing body parts that have gone bad prematurely, and fixing a few developmental diseases that healthy humans avoid naturally.
It's also really, really expensive to do this on anything more than a tiny experimental scale, so for the most part any treatments and cures will be restricted to a few research cases and a couple of aging multi-millionaires. The rest of us will just read about it in the news from time to time.
but still, shit'll go bonkers
or, it'll all be cool and i'm rocking star trek gear. the third one would own

i think that humanity knows better than to wipe itself out completely.
also it's fucking depressing how many people are going to take that statement as naive and overly optimistic.
anyways fatalism never helps!
The first is guaranteed to happen no matter what Good Things happen because of CLIMATE CHANGE
2nd is obvious when the first happens
3rd is INCREDIBLY obvious if you look at the last 40 years
4th is even more obvious if you look at all of the 18th and 19th centuries (and early 20th if you count WWI, which you should)
unless we make an intentional and concerted effort to wipe out all life on Earth, microbes are hardy enough that they'll survive whatever we can throw at them
if it was going to happen it would've already happened a whole shitton of times

yeah I know none of this stuff is right around the corner
but it is interesting to think about
fine
all the people, then
how do you think humanity could prevent at least the 3rd and 4th from happening or are you convinced it's set in stone at this point.
oh most definitely
It's so OBVIOUS!
unless
I'm not thinking we're going to have a nuke party or anything
it's a combination of economic and political and environmental factors
most of which nobody is doing anything meaningful to prevent

bingo
if pollutants try to get in i'll hit them with a blowdart (blowdarts = weapons of future)
hahahah
I think there are meaningful things being done!
on small scales because they don't make money...
still i think it's not too late to change. eh. we'll see how things turn out.
