I agree with you in premise, there is a general trend to over lore in modern sci-fi. Things can’t just be, they need some specific explanation.

This though, I didn’t hate. It’s always bothered me that aliens in sci-fi are just humans with shit on their face, their cultures are just aspects of our culture turned to the extreme, and every species’ technology is around the same level.

Having a progenitor species that seeded the galaxy and that’s why every intelligent species is basically the same is fine, basic but you know at least it makes sense and doesn’t need to come up again.

Why are they the same, because a wizard did it essentially.

This planet is 100% magical, we’ve just let capitalists divide it up into tiny preserves for their own pleasure.

turtles all the way down…

I’m an idiot and it scares me the number of times i’ve been the “smartest person in the room”…

Such a good show.

I mean it does suck, but it sucks less than anything else we have.

It deters me lol

Wow, turns out if you stab something and leave it to bleed out it doesn’t magically get better immediately…

Man of Steel

Cory Doctorow is a writer who I want to love, i like the plot descriptions of his work and he seems like a really smart and with it person, but his writing style just doesn’t spark joy. It feels like work. IDK how to describe it, I just can’t get in the flow with his writing.

Maybe I’m missing context on this, but halo slop?

Infinite came out 3 years ago and though they’ve done updates and general live service garbage there haven’t been any major releases since. Halo isn’t a yearly release schedule, charging full price for the same game every year like sports games, so i’m not seeing the slop…

ignite a full on civil war

It’s already a civil war.

Don’t mistake me I basically agree with everything your saying, but make no mistake we are Germany in the '30s, whatever you are doing is what you would have done then.

We’re all on the internet talking tough about it while the camps are being built…

You can buy a bluetooth speaker that sounds as good (if you don’t need real stereo sound) and still have room in your pocket.

Maybe I’m missing something, but isn’t it trivial to take it out of their bullshit dangerous “FSD” mode and take control? How does a car go approximately 40-50 feet down the tracks without the driver noticing and stopping it?

I guess i just don’t get criticisms like this. They have been rerunning family circle for 50 years and Garfield as it turns out is better without Garfield, but this kind of banality is just too far?

Daily comics are mostly garbage with the occasional, possibly even accidental, brilliance.

The question is good, how given one smaller and one larger fraction could the person eating a smaller percent still have eaten more total pizza? That’s a fun brain puzzle.

The problem is the teacher.

Who’s the narrator? Gonzo seems too obvious, but that’s not always bad.

reminds me of naked lunch

IDK maybe? Are the people and political structures that committed those horrors still in power?
