Wizard’s First Rule is the only tolerable book, if barely. They’re all thinly veiled (not thinly veiled) fetish writing, or high school level political theory.
At a certain point it’s clear that Terry fired enough editors that the remaining ones stopped trying.
Needs more Banks! And take Seveneves and cast it into the fire…
That’s an awesome story, good choice of book for that haha.
Karl with the Char mecha… I knew I liked that guy.
I think the ending is awesome too! Glad you liked it. It’s just as good the second time through, just give it a year or so. :)
Hey no pressure, if you remember to drop an “I liked it!”, that’s all I meant. :)
Yeah it’s probably my “pick just one” best book. It’s a wild ride! I’m interested in what you think when you finish!
Three Musketeers is different but I also really liked it. It’s very amusing/funny.
Up production of gas to profit off the surge in demand seems likely.
I agree with you actually, death is an inevitability and we’re obsessed with pretending it’s not.
However from a civilization standpoint, maybe we can come up with some sort of alternative than letting folks pass away alone and not be found for weeks. Allowing people to choose the time and manner of their deaths is a start–who wants to painfully die from a metastatic liver tumor?
You can run the gw2 labyrinth train during Halloween one handed by rebinding keys to a Naga mouse.
There are at least 3 of us!
I just wanted to say that you’re not alone, life seems very complicated and prospects seem rough. Try reconnecting with old friends? Sending some good vibes your way.
Out of curiosity, what do you think about the fact that they knew from animal testing that the retraction issue existed, but they installed it into a human anyway?
Huh, the unethical company that installed known-bad tech into a human is acting unethically. Interesting.
His family should sue them for fraud and whatever crime is to knowingly injure someone with subpar products.
They tested on animals, identifying the retraction issue… Then did nothing and installed it into a human anyway.
In your example it’d be shampoo that chemically burns pig scalps that is pushed to market for humans anyway.
Stop being an apologist and think about what it means to have billionaires treating desperate people as guinea pigs for invasive technology testing.
I would have been tortured to death so quickly in the 1500s
Not a great response but… Basically they are gambling they’ll be dead before the bill comes due.
It helps that human made environmental changes are novel, meaning that while we have histories of other disasters befalling our planet, we haven’t seen this particular one before. And since our enemy is the super rich who control much of the media output, they can cast enough doubt over everything to get away with it for long enough for them to die off.
Berserk has inspired a lot of media. Worth a read although it is very dark a lot of the time.
How do I join Blahaj zone?
