Counter point
Besides the obvious breast reduction its important to note that Asari do not physically age. They can live for thousands of years and never show signs of aging. Them making her like this just shows that political mentality that was responsible for Dragon Age Veilguard was still strong in the company.
Fiat currency isn't going anywhere lol
Elon says money will become obsolete and energy will be the true currency.
Half my timeline understood: "there won't be any currency anymore."
It's the exact opposite.
There will always be a currency. What's going to die is fiat money. And with it, the power of the people who print it.
Quick masterclass on why.
First, what is money?
Money isn't wealth. It's a tool. It has three functions: unit of account (measuring value), medium of exchange (avoiding barter), and store of value (carrying today's work into tomorrow).
At its core, money is a database. It records who produced what, and who has the right to consume what. It's a system for allocating human labor.
And good money has one non-negotiable property: you can't create it out of thin air. Otherwise, it lies.
For centuries, money was backed by something real: gold. Every banknote was a claim on a weight of metal. You couldn't print more than what you had in the vault.
Then we dismantled it, piece by piece.
In 1914, World War I. Countries suspend gold convertibility to finance the war on credit.
In 1933, Roosevelt bans Americans from owning gold and devalues the dollar right after.
In 1944, Bretton Woods. The dollar becomes convertible to gold at $35 an ounce, and every other currency gets pegged to the dollar.
On August 15, 1971, Nixon "temporarily" suspends the dollar's convertibility to gold. That "temporary" measure has now lasted 55 years.
In 1973, exchange rates float. Not a single major currency in the world is backed by anything physical anymore.
Since 1971, the dollar has lost nearly 90% of its purchasing power. US federal debt has grown almost 100x. Housing prices have decoupled from wages. That's not a coincidence. It's the direct consequence of money with no physical limit.
Now, central banks.
A central bank does two things: it sets the price of money (interest rates) and it creates money. Two massive levers, in the hands of a handful of people nobody elected.
When they keep rates too low for too long, they create bubbles, keep zombie companies alive, and push everyone into debt.
When they print, they dilute your savings. The Fed's balance sheet went from roughly $900 billion in 2007 to nearly $9 trillion in 2022. The US money supply grew about 40% between 2020 and 2022. Result: 9.1% inflation in the US in June 2022, 10.6% in the eurozone in October 2022.
Inflation is a tax nobody voted for. And it doesn't hit everyone equally: those closest to money creation (the state, banks, asset holders) get the new money first. Workers and savers get it last, after prices have already gone up.
Now let's reason from first principles.
If AI and robotics produce most goods and services, human labor is no longer the limiting factor of the economy.
So a currency whose job is to allocate human labor no longer has a purpose.
What stays scarce?
Energy.
Every physical good is matter transformed with energy. Every AI is computation, meaning electricity. With enough energy, you extract, you recycle, you manufacture, you reason.
The natural unit of account of a robotic economy isn't the dollar. It's the kilowatt-hour.
And this is where it gets beautiful: energy-backed money is tied to a real, measurable asset governed by thermodynamics. As Elon puts it, governments can print money, but they can't print energy.
No more inflation manufactured by bureaucrats playing with the printing press. We go back to a standard. But this time, not a metal sitting in a vault: the very input of all production.
My prediction: within the next ten years, the fiat monetary system will break. And with it, the grip that politicians and legacy bankers have on money.
Elon is designing the new global economic order. Not a communist system: private property stays central. But capital will flow to those who best allocate energy to create more goods and services. A meritocracy of physics.
That's what will bring us abundance.
Money isn't disappearing. It's becoming honest again.

You're actually retarded if you think Cook County Illinois needs to cook the vote for it to lean Blue.
HOLY CR*P 🚨 American went to vote in Illinois, she says when selecting the conservative candidate the screen displays a message that says “people are not typically choosing this person, exclamation mark”
“I picked the Republican judges and once I selected one of the judges, I got a notification on the bar that said, people are not typically choosing this person, exclamation mark. — So why is my ballot telling me that who I'm picking isn't the more popular choice? I have a problem with that”
I have verified this woman is in Cook County, Illinois and Cook County used Dominion Voting machines
According to the Illinois State Board of Elections’ Voting Systems Equipment Log, Dominion is listed as both the equipment vendor and support vendor for their voting machines and has their contract
It’s RIGGED

This is why I bought my last three cars in cash. Only debt is the house itself, and we're projecting to pay that off in the next seven years, about 20 years early for our 30 year mortgage. Being intentional and deliberate with your money is better than flexing any day of the week
A lot of people who will come on this website and scream that professional sports are "BrEaD aNd CiRcUsEs" were really excited to watch a live streamed execution
Jessup was actively covering up the murder of a junior Marine, and when that failed, was throwing his enlisted Marines and lower level officers under the bus to cover his own ass.
You sound like a bit of a bitch
