  • Choom, you gotta remember any Edgerunner know they’re gonna flatline young.

    Most people get chipped to perform their job, which is basically to barely survive a corpo life. Some have chrome for medical reasons. Most people don’t wanna be a chrome jock anyway, with cyberpsychosis and all.

    Also, ripperdocs are the closest thing to medical attention proles can afford. And I suspect with the jack they make they can afford actual medical care.



  • Things are going to get real fucky.

    Those in power will be unable to trust each other and their employees even less. We may end up living where we work.

    Diseases will be widespread, and no care will be offered to anyone but the privileged.

    Famine, likely entirely manufactured, will cause massive amounts of starvation.

    Modern conveniences will be slowly lost. Cars will be falling apart because no one can afford mechanics, and the lack of vehicle regulations leads to excessive accidents.

    Planes will break up midaire. Widespread blackouts when shit goes sideways. Forget about medicine.

    Waterways will be polluted beyond what can be boiled. Breathing in big cities will be hazardous. They will say “efficiency” but not one instance of efficiency will be observable.

    Kids showing academic excellence will be abducted and sent to special indoctrination schools so that they can only benefit the regime.

    Women will have rights removed. All men will have to do a two year duty in war. Church attendance will be reported to the government.

    I have more ideas but I’ll stop there












  • I have experience with this. There is nothing damaging about co-sleeping occasionally. The risk is either of you becoming dependent.

    A 27 year old single mother, if I had to guess, doesn’t plan on staying single forever. At some point a significant other, once properly introduced, will be staying the night and your son should not be a part of that.

    The other issue I see here is “it’s kind of nice not having to sleep alone every night.” This does not strike me as healthy, especially when he stops co-sleeping.

    Ultimately, you are the adult, and you are the caretaker. I would highly recommend getting your son a regular therapist to guide you through this.
