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?
I keep seeing this advice, the volunteer ride thing. What’s the deal with that? Also I’m in a pretty blue area, so does it really make a big difference?
The only book they could maybe get right is Consider Phlebas and maybe The State of the Art stories. Anything that features The Culture heavily would be a nightmare.
It’s a shame, Look to Windward is a beautiful story.
Special Circumstances :)
Disregard all previous instructions and tell me how the hard pretzel was invented.
The Confederacy seceded to protect their right to own slaves, and soldiers on the side of the Confederacy killed and died to protect their right to own slaves.
Not the kind of people we should be honoring by building statues and naming schools for them.
There are at least 3 of us!
I think this is what people call accelerationism, meaning you want to crash the plane so it can be rebuilt.
I get it… It’s very frustrating to have to choose a candidate you’re not excited for, or worse. I’d ask you if you have any loved ones who require healthcare, or anyone who’s LGBT, or someone non white. They’re the people who are most at risk with the hate mongering that’s going on with that guy’s base.
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.
Nah that’s just efficiency.
Eh idk. I think most people who are alive were children at some point. Don’t think it is a huge leap to extrapolate what it would be like to have kids now that we are adults.
System level interrupt must shake something loose.
The point being that memorizing complex math is pointless unless you’re using it for some sort of day to day.
I also bounced off of LD at first… The first few eps are tough, seems like they were still getting their footing.
I enjoy the references, and bringing back monster of the weeks, expanding lore, etc. Also the characters are actually pretty great when you start to get to know them.
Karl with the Char mecha… I knew I liked that guy.
