but if Frankenstein isn’t sci-fi then nothing I’ve seen labeled as sci-fi is.

And my point is if Frankenstein is scifi, then so is earlier stuff...

It's all where you draw the line, some people draw that line where electricity is involved, because electricity was a pretty big deal.

Earlier stories have more primitive science, later stories have more futuristic science.

Corpo friendly "moderates" are not cut out to fight fascism.

Them making the left unattractive to votes is what we keep having to fight fascism in the first place. No one would turn to rightwing fake populism if the leftwing was authentically populist.

If we count stuff earlier than 1898 your statement is false from the jump

I never said we should...

I view the begining of scif as the 60s maybe late 50s.

My point was if you're taking it back to Shelly, by the same logic we'd have to take it back further. Which you apparently agree with?

If we count Frankenstein as scifi...

Then stuff centuries earlier also count as scifi, and she's out of the discussion again.

But she was reasonably well-adjusted

Bruh...

She kept her dead husbands heart and would carry it around with her

They’re famous for distributing tracts door to door.

Like the Mormons a large part of that is making members believe outsiders hate them for their religion...

When really I just hate any random person who knocks on my door.

It's less to gain members, and more a way to prevent people from leaving.

— the women are saved through childbearing.

That's how cults grow their numbers.

Yeah, it's best to one line instead of delete so there's context, just never understood why people keep down voting after lol

My bad

Took a break from dealing with all the shit Elmo caused at work and I guess I'm just conditioned not to fully read AI blurbs

~~Is the title completely unrelated?~~

It's not a huge jump, we didn't evolve to just eat meat like cats did.

Like, you can "survive" on it for a long time, but eventually there's going to be a bunch of complications.

So they already believe one crazy thing that's popular enough to have communities, it shouldn't be shocking to see some go on to believe even crazier shit. It just keeps concentrating the crazy.

Same phenomenon that happens with lots of different groups, at least with this one they're only hurting themselves I guess.

OPM is setting up "email blasts" that go to all federal employees and I don't think it'll take long for this admin to treat it like Twitter.

They want to purge the chain of command of dissenters, so they want direct control/communication with every federal employee skipping entire chains of command.

Rather than orders being sent thru the chain of command (which is good for soooo many reasons) they want a direct pipeline to tell every federal employee to do something at the same time.
