Wrong city, but right state, and only a few months late

Part of me hates that this is happening.

The rest of me is all, “It’s still 2025!! If we have the Bell Riots now we’re still on-pace for a Star Trek future!!”

    we’re still on-pace for a Star Trek future!!”

    I hope we survive WW3 and the eugenics war.

    Me too, I hope my child survives the seemingly inevitable wars that are looming within his lifetime.

    But more importantly, I think Humanity will survive. This is a test, one that evolution makes impossible to avoid. If we survive this trial by fire, we will scatter and thrive amongst the stars and prepare for the next test.

    Am I being too dreamy? It’s all Star Trek’s fault. :)

    Don't forget Ireland's reunification.

    Riots in N. Ireland right now (though it's anti-immigration riots, so probably won't lead to unification):

    One thing always leads to another.

    As a descendant of the Irish, I completely believe that a totally unrelated argument could snowball into Irish Reunification.

    The Bell Riots were in September 2024.

    Our universe's lack of Eugenics Wars in the 90s was already pretty strong evidence that we're not living in the prime timeline.

    Oh we are getting a Star Trek Future—the mirror universe one.

    I'd rather not given what comes between. Can we instead get the future of the civilization in Strange New World's pilot episode? They got the advantage of learning from the mistakes Earth made before they did the same and leapfrogged into the better stuff.

    Go on memory-alpha and look up what's scheduled to happen in 2026.

    Wow, they expected genetic engineering to move way faster.

    Now I'm not finding that youtube video about a guy not being mugged because the sci-fy story of the mugger happens too early and he can't believe in it...
