Has anyone else read “Ministry for the Future,” by Kim Stanley Robinson? It is depressingly realistic.

It’s like turning off your radio so you can read the map better.

Gotta go big screen for big purchases.

That’s how I feel about Neuromancer and most other cyberpunk books.

I love the addition of Snow Crash. I never see SF books in free libraries.

Edit: And Charles De Lint! You never see him these days. Kick ass free library, OP

I suppose not.

Ours was "Did you hear that noise??"

That sounds just like r/SaltLakeCity

I'm surprised there is no law about that: she was instituted for a reason, did not uphold the very core of her promises. She should be destituted and banned for office for life.

I feel like the core of her crime is that she said she was going to do X, Y, and Z but fully intends to do A, B, and C while in office. Is that really that different from most politicians?

Many politicians try and fail to accomplish their goals, but many others don’t even try.

There’s a difference between “ideas shift over time” which is democracy and “I pretended to be a candidate for the other party and then pulled a bait & switch when I got elected” which is fucking fraud.

Personally, if I were God Emperor (ie if it was up to me) this asshole would get 20 years.

Bait and switch is bad, certainly, my lord God Emperor, 20 years? Isn’t that excessive?

check the title, smarty pants

“Be wary of spiteful Reddit users” is not instructions for calling people names.

OP added an adjective to describe a specific class of Reddit users. The body of the OP made it clear it doesn’t apply to all users and therefore isn’t a title.

Can you please quote where in the body or the title the OP placed instructions for calling people names?

your entire post is instructions for calling people names, you drama queen.. with all the yearning and what not..

Could you please quote where the OP had these instructions?

I mean, it’s honestly not that different from the party swap in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Political parties aren’t some sacred temple of worship. They have a long and dirty history of being created, ignored, absorbed, and realigned.

Yeah. I just never understood how a corporation owning everything and controlling it is different than a corrupt politician doing it personally.

It’s not really different. But that’s why I believe some people think it is.
