I was actually trying this shitty app. Don’t.
Enough playing around. Random thought, but worth thinking about.
Our Tech Utopia That Never Arrived
We’ve been sold a dazzling vision of the future: flying cars zipping through neon-lit skies, AI assistants solving our every whim, and virtual realities indistinguishable from the real thing. Sci-fi novels, blockbuster films, and glossy tech keynotes have long promised a world where technology fulfills our wildest dreams. Yet, here we are in 2025, and the reality feels… underwhelming.
Take smartphones. They’re marvels of engineering, sure, but they’ve plateaued. Each new model boasts incremental upgrades—slightly better cameras, marginally faster chips—but the leap from flip phones to the first iPhone feels like a distant memory. We imagined devices that would seamlessly integrate with our minds, not ones we’d still be fumbling to unlock during a rainstorm.
AI, too, has fallen short of the hype. We were told it would revolutionize everything, from curing diseases to composing symphonies. Instead, we get chatbots that misunderstand basic queries and algorithms that trap us in echo chambers. Deepfakes and misinformation spread faster than truth, and the promised “AI doctor” is still just a clunky app misdiagnosing your cough.
Virtual reality? It’s niche, not transformative. VR headsets are bulky, expensive, and mostly used for gaming or awkward corporate training sessions. The metaverse, once heralded as the internet’s next frontier, is a ghost town of glitchy avatars and overpriced digital real estate.
Even space travel, the ultimate tech fantasy, feels like a billionaire’s vanity project. We’re not colonizing Mars; we’re watching rockets explode on livestreams while Earth’s problems—climate change, inequality—get short shrift.
Why the disconnect? We overestimate tech’s ability to solve human problems while underestimating its complexity. Innovation isn’t linear; it’s messy, incremental, and often prioritizing profit over progress. Our imaginations, fueled by fiction, crave instant utopias, but reality delivers trade-offs.
Still, there’s hope. Tech’s failures teach us to demand better—not just shinier gadgets, but tools that truly serve humanity. Maybe the future isn’t about living up to our fantasies, but about building something real, flawed, and human.
Would this apply to a woman on her period? I’m going to assume.

People who come around only when they need something are the real pest. It’s no longer a friend in need.
I don’t have any friends and that’s a good thing. No worries being asked for anything I don’t have to offer. True freedom.
Worthless people make me sick.

Primal or damus?
Maybe it’s just me, but I personally and professionally thing there’s too many nurses surpassing the 165 lb limit that could and should be considered for all medical facilities statewide. Rest assured, I’m not the only one complaining.
