TET to the Future: Marty, We're Going Blaat!

[Bluelight-R006]

Doesn't Trump want to go to Mars?

It will be terrific, there will be hotels, casinos, and a wall to keep the martians out.

Wait ‘till he realises the wall was for nothing.

Surprisingly enough the water is pretty clean, last sunday we saw a pod of dolphins, and whales have been sited. .3 km off the beach.

Cool. I don't think I've seen whales and dolphins before.

Better not get too close to the settlements of the Deep Ones.

You mean Cthulhu?

They are part of the Cthulhu mythos, yes. To quote Wikipedia:

The Deep Ones are a race of intelligent ocean-dwelling creatures, approximately human-shaped but with a fishy, froggy appearance. They regularly mate with humans along the coast, creating societies of hybrids.

He still has his beloved containment camps, where the unwanted are concentrated and treated with typical Texan hospitality.

Huh. I think I’m desensitised to hearing about tragedies. America’s news in the past few years has been full of school shootings, other shootings, terrorist attacks, and the ever-impending threats of climate change and nuclear war. Now, whenever some terrible thing happens, it’s not shocking like it used to be- Hell, to be honest, I feel almost no reaction. It’s basically just a part of life now. It seems like that’s increasingly common with Americans now, not so much in the rest of the world. I only realised that it was so different for Americans after the Christchurch shooting, where there was someone from New Zealand on a Discord server I’m in, and all she could think about was thr shooting. I guess in my mind, that happens all the time. It’s just a thing that happens.

I get that I’m probably a horrible person, but it’s personally true. Am I the only person that feels like this, or do other people (especially Americans) feel the same way about it?

No, you’re not exactly horrible. Desensitization is a defense mechanism we all develop, to a degree. We’re not used to or rather, we’re not fit to deal with constant tragedy.

I just pressed the button on the lift, but it didn’t go up. I’m fortunate that I was able to make the doors open by pressing the button.

Have you ever been stuck in an elevator? How did it feel?

Years ago. I was around seven. All I recall is being there in the lift with my grandma, doors not opening for a few minutes, then everything went back to normal. I’m not sure I was entirely aware of what was happening so no recollection of feelings. It was rather quick.

‘Rather quick.’ Funny how you should say that... if I were you, I’d be pacing up and down, being tense and I’d remember how it’d feel.

I’m happy there’s a call button inside the elevator.

Like I said, I was a child and didn’t grasp what was happening. Other than the lift doors wouldn’t open for a few minutes, and then they did.

I guess not knowing anything is better than knowing something, sometimes. It relieves the fear.

Month and a half ago, about thirty minutes. It was an adventure!

Situations and our reactions to them change depending on age, I guess. Had I been trapped in a lift like that now, as an adult, I’m sure I’d be on the verge of freaking out.

Got stuck in an elevator once myself, it was an inconvenience for the lot of us. We had work to do!

I don’t see how being in a confined space with nothing much to do and nowhere to go is an adventure. Glad to know you feel that way. I’ll try to feel that when I really get stuck in one.

I know a few working as tech agents in contact centers, edit that to use technology in order to alert people with the right technology for five years prior to make wild guesswork in an attempt to save you from technology's failure.
