> 4.one massive strike in France ala 2018 Gilets Jaunes Oooh, come oooooon... There probably hasn't ever been a single year _without_ something resembling a "massive strike" in France. And we have yet-another-pension-reform coming up. It's like predicting there will be a massive barbecue in Texas :P

I didn't mean just strikes, I said "massive strikes"! :P Burned vehicles, a few hands lost to a police grenade, maybe a death or two. Sure it's a low hanging fruit, but the French executive power has been bypassing parliament with 49.3 rulings for the past year to get unpopular laws and welfare undoings through. Something's gotta break.

Let's not call stuff like burned vehicles and violence "strikes", it's rioting which can be caused by the same issues that lead to strikes but strikes themselves are non violent and the concept doesn't deserve to be tarred with the same brush making it seem like "massive strikes" automatically equate to violence.

Ordered by likelihood would be 6, 2, 1, 5, 4, 3 - 6.) being unfortunately a given (the question being where and when they'll attack) and and 3.) not very likely.

Such an offensively bad take. As a bi person and general LGBTQ+ ally, and left winger, I assure you we hope for violence against us to disappear entirely. Thankfully most right wingers also agree, but of the people who do lick their lips at the prospect of violence against gay people they're pretty much entirely right wing. But regardless of political orientation, the only people who don't find such events to be horrible and unnecessary are assholes first and foremost.

- text and image generating AI is hugely disruptive to education and content generation - Inflation eases, stock market recovers - A Twitter alternative breaks through. - One of the big tech companies joins the fediverse (Microsoft most likely) - TikTok starts to falter - additional regulation, banning, lack of profitability and decline in popularity take a toll - A fully autonomous drone is used in combat (edit: sou…

- An autonomous drone is used in combat - Chinas ascendancy slows, Xi’s popularity wanes - someone “marries” their virtual partner I'm pretty sure all three of these have already happened.

Thanks! Updated a bit

Saying that LGBTQ / left wing people are "groomers" is just insanely bigoted and no more grounded in reality than if I baselessly said "all right wingers are rapists". Complete nonsense, please educate yourself.

- Full Self Driving will be "1-2 years away", much as it has been for the last 7 years

- Nuclear fusion "is only 2 decades away", just as it has been the last 40-60 years.

- same for other "right around the corner" predictions

- the world will change; most of that change is incremental; any real radical shifts will only be apparent with hindsight.

- the superrich are going to get loads more superrich; the environment will be worse off; the poor and middle class will also be worse off.

- all in all: trends will roughly continue as before even though 2023 will be part of a decade/decade-and-a-half which resulted in radical changes in trends.
