It’s just a massive time scale that it happens on, but yes that gives way to feeling like that. Read the first 2, put the last one down halfway through after it started shitting all over the first 2 books with a certain character’s actions.
The second book has a really cool few pages that helped visualize what experiencing the 4th dimension could be like.
The series is more interesting for its concepts than it is for plot or any one character imo
Nice, sorry if I came in hot. The issue you have is with health ramifications of the procedure which is also totally sane.
You sound like you have a lot of hate in your heart. I’ll be praying for you 🙏
I’m not a big fan of the idea of abortion
Are you saying you’re not a big fan as in you don’t think it’s a great, fun thing to do? Like “I’m not a big fan of _____ sport”? Or against the idea itself?
I’m assuming that by “the idea of abortion” what you really mean is that you’re not a fan of killing babies, which is not what abortions are doing.
And if that’s not what you mean then I ask that you clarify what it is you do mean since, sure, you make decent points here but it’s important that everyone understands what an abortion is and what is being aborted, which is almost never a living baby.
If I’m being honest, someone who says they don’t like the idea of abortion sounds like someone who doesn’t know much at all about what one is or what it’s removing. Or someone who thinks abortions are for sluts who go out fucking everyone and getting pregnant and just aborting 3rd trimester babies bc they’re sluts (I will clarify here that I also don’t see a problem with female promiscuity resulting in abortion either)
Bad take, straight men can enjoy a good pegging. Also empathy is not a prerequisite for homosexuality. I wager empathy has nothing to do with sexuality nor is it any indicator of sexual preference.
This is just bullshit he’s spewing to justify forcibly spawning more meat for the grinder, by hook or by crook. While I don’t know if he’s married to a woman, I highly doubt he’d think this would apply if his wife was raped and became pregnant as a result. Carrying a rape baby to term is for proles in the eyes of people like this
That means nothing imo, last book I read was years ago and I’m in a field most consider to be for sharper folks. Software dev. The book was the last in the three body problem trilogy.
In a world where the Twilight series exists, I really hate people who use the act of reading books as some intelligence measure
As someone who thinks the “Last Dab” sauces from Hot Ones aren’t spicy enough, no. Your body adapts. I only burn my hole if I eat something that’s too salty now.
Yeah there was a whole thing about it at the time, it made news and was credible. The fix for it being of course to double check your ballot before you cast, which could easily be a miss by a first time voter or maybe an elderly one.
My comment was in reference to the fact that Ted Cruz is a moron, and that we came really close to getting him out, but I do think there were some shenanigans with voting. Just the other way.
Every accusation is an admission
Here’s an article about it, a quick Google returns a ton of results
didn’t realize there were so many Ted Cruz fans on lemmy
We tried voting him out, we really did. Coincidentally, he beat Beto by a very small margin while there was a small percentage of voting machines that reportedly flipped votes for Beto (I think they would flip them to Cruz, and if you didn’t double check all your votes before casting them, then a Beto voter could have inadvertently voted Cruz)
Ah yes, the tired, old "perfect being the enemy of good", so let's just let it all go to shit since we can't get it perfect
What? This is completely wrong. HOAs do not maintain your home for you, that’s wild that you think that’s the reason for HOAs. I live in an HOA and they don’t do anything besides make sure everyone’s house is presentable (like no missing fence pickets) and upkeep the HOA center + pool.
The point they made enhances yours. Yes it is hypocritical, but is arguably worse on the conservatives’ part since sexual orientation is something you’re born with.
Right, I can think that. It’s an opinion. It’s also not a made up problem, and it doesn’t exist now. Yet. Which was the real point I was trying to make. Just anticipating that someone will do it, make you sign up for a year of netflix instead of month to month for example.
Never did I imply you made an invalid point and even agree with you. But if you want to make this into some argument for whatever reason, ok.
Seriously. I mean, this isn’t brain serjury
Yes, those points you made contribute to the reason why cable sucked. Though I think the core reason cable sucked was that it was a subscription with mandatory minimum periods, like a year or whatever. For the time being (I don’t have any streaming service accounts, mind you), you can at least just pay for a month of Netflix, binge everything you want to watch, then cancel and pay for a month of the next streaming service that has the content you want. For the time being.
It’s literally just describing scrum and agile processes as if they were reporting on a cult/religion and its rituals. The bit at the end about it still being waterfall development with rituals actually got me pretty good lol
Not what out of pocket means, out of pocket means that you will be personally covering expenditures
e.g. “I broke the company monitor so I will be coming out of pocket to replace it”
Actually now that I think about it, your usage comes from the AAVE usage so it’s valid. Whoops
