I can imagine these too, but some imaginary scenarios come too close to "24" TV series scenarios, i.e. completely unrealistic. But I will give you that, even if you subscribe to the idea it came sometimes make some sense with extr

It was a very local optimum for the Kurds, probably many more have been displaced and killed because of interventions. The ISIS was very harsh on kurds, and ISIS could not have existed without the US invasion. Saddam was a horror, but in

Dosbox can be run together with Freedos in a command line mode. Wine also can (on 32 bit machines) run many DOS programs. If you are content to run a full emulator, DOSBox + FreeDOS is already a practically perfect emulation.

This is what I imagined video games would look like in the future... looking from the 80s. Hi-res background, but static. Awesome life like sprites, but basically the same video games we had on the C64. It was somehow very soothing to watch

When the stated goal is to make people move out of the county, how much more do you need to label it oppression?

Except this surveillance machine is even more stupid. The USSR was at least ostensibly protecting its power structure from internal opposition. These floridian police are basically grooming kids to become criminals by giving them records an

That is nightmare fuel. If they made a movie about this, it wouldn't even be enjoyable to watch because it would be too sad and scary. Like The Day After Tomorrow but without the comforting thought reminding you that couldn't a
