A time line of the changes in a relatively near future.

You better save your money to be able to replace these enlarged hearts and duretic fucked up kidneys.

Many people will lead a very different life (in terms of quality/experiences) relatively soon, most of us can't even imagine of what is yeat to come. Life is changing....fast.

The future looks incredibly promising!

Somehow, I thought that by now we would have had flying cars (mainstream). I know they have a few out there, but nothing immediately available to the general public.

I think we have quite some amazing stuff already, flying cars will come. I'm not sure it's even a good idea tbh. Flying planes and self driving cars are enough so far.

[denarii]

what about Obama becoming an unemployed bum?

[da_vinci]

When I think now, I'm young and I still find it somewhat "weird" that a car will drive itself and I will be able to sleep behind a wheel (finally!) in like 5 years (if I'll buy a new car, fitted with that equipment) when they will go mainstream from California/google experimental cars.  
 Some of that more serious future shit will make head go spinnin'...

It may be a very interesting living. I'll be damned if I'll fuck myself up with this shit called "bodybuilding" and won't be able to at least immerse my brain into a full blown virtual reality.

hopefully in the future black people won't be allowed to go to the movies
or plan B - they must wear a muzzle

Most of those events never occurred. 

You've never occured too.

You've never occured too.

that fuck made a gimmick for one thread.


oh boy.

If he's creative, it may be of use for a few more times

Not in 5 years. Try 20 - 25 years. The percentage of drivers that get a blowjob while hitting 100 mph and plus is close to 40% by year 2042.

Lol... with accelarating technological change in 25 years a car will ask whether it should go to buy you a drink before you go on a long trip.
