What's the most cyberpunk-esk thing we actually have in modern society? (hexbear.net)

I'm drinking boxed wine tonight but I accidentally set the box in a puddle of water on my kitchen counter and the bottom of the box fell apart, so I had to just take the bag out and realized boxed wine is really just bagged wine. So now there's just a plastic bag of wine sitting on my table and for some reason that felt a bit cyberpunk to me, you just buy a big bag of booze when you want to get fucked up in Mega-City 1.

If you live in America look into switching whenever your coverage needs to renew. Elephant insurance is a pretty good one that doesn't advertise as much so it's not as well-known.

Yeah we go through an independent agent, so in theory they are shopping around for us on every renewal. I will ask them to look into that one though, so thanks for the tip.
