Cool...
But if you're done, why are you here trying to convince others to give up?
If it's too much for you, that happens.
Go check out from politics, dont hang out and tell people it's pointless to try. Literally no one is happy in that scenario except trump.
The addition of electricity is the only reason anyone calls it scifi
Nothing new about it...
Movies are made in Cali because the first studios didn't want to pay Edison for his stolen patents on equipment...
So they moved to the opposite end of the country where it was mostly unenforceable, and it didn't take long till intellectual property was a big concern for them.
Smart people doubt themselves.
Dumb people see that as weakness.
So dumb people often follow someone dumb, or someone that lies constantly.
In this case, both
You shouldn't assume what position anyone is in.
But historically we know what happens when people resign...
Well, I do at least, are you aware what happened with the KKK in the South and why the majority of Southern politicians went from Black to white?
It wasn't good for the families of the people who resigned or anyone else of that group.
Musk told him to resign from the FAA in a post on X. Whitaker did just that, leaving his post on January 20.
Stop fucking resigning...
They want people to resign because feds are hard to fire without reasons.
That's an intentional thing to prevent administrations from politicizing government service. You're not fighting by resigning, you're getting out of the way so the fascists get what they want.
While funny...
Every decent person should have left twitter a long time ago
Fuck em, let them have their echo chamber. You're not "fighting the good fight" you're giving them a common enemy.
Leave it to just racists and they'll start fighting over who isn't racist enough and the movement implodes.
since our modern understanding of the scientific method didn’t really exist back then,
Didn't exist when Mary Shelly did either...
That's my point, by it's very nature "the first scifi" isn't a fixed date due to scientific advancement.
Agriculture is a science, and it was a bigger deal than electricity when it was new, but we don't say every story with a plow is scifi anymore.
Hell, look at Jason and the Argonauts using bleeding edge navigation skills to travel to far off lands we couldn't imagine. The only difference is water instead of space.
This isn't a new process, we're talking about where modern humans draw a line that's been redrawn since the dawn of humanity.
What are you trying to prove?
What I just quoted and you just agreed with...
If we count Frankenstein as scifi…
Then stuff centuries earlier also count as scifi, and she’s out of the discussion again.
I'm not sure why you're upset with me, now that we're on the same page...
It's been a long journey since:
If we count Frankenstein as scifi…
Then stuff centuries earlier also count as scifi, and she’s out of the discussion again.
But I'm glad you understand now.
In the 2nd century some guy wrote about travelling to the moon...
Where he found Moon people who were at war with the sun people.
By your definition, isn't that also SciFi?
It's insane how many people took that email seriously...
If they could fire a bunch of feds they would, but they can't so they want to scare them into resigning.
Even when there's good reason, it's hard as fuck to fire a fed. Don't let them get what they want without the fight, because they'll used the time saved to break more shit.
