Wizard’s First Rule is the only tolerable book, if barely. They’re all thinly veiled (not thinly veiled) fetish writing, or high school level political theory.

At a certain point it’s clear that Terry fired enough editors that the remaining ones stopped trying.

Needs more Banks! And take Seveneves and cast it into the fire…

That’s an awesome story, good choice of book for that haha.

This movie is soulless dogshit.

I think the ending is awesome too! Glad you liked it. It’s just as good the second time through, just give it a year or so. :)

Hey no pressure, if you remember to drop an “I liked it!”, that’s all I meant. :)

Yeah it’s probably my “pick just one” best book. It’s a wild ride! I’m interested in what you think when you finish!

Three Musketeers is different but I also really liked it. It’s very amusing/funny.

Up production of gas to profit off the surge in demand seems likely.

I agree with you actually, death is an inevitability and we’re obsessed with pretending it’s not.

However from a civilization standpoint, maybe we can come up with some sort of alternative than letting folks pass away alone and not be found for weeks. Allowing people to choose the time and manner of their deaths is a start–who wants to painfully die from a metastatic liver tumor?

Thank you!

I keep seeing this advice, the volunteer ride thing. What’s the deal with that? Also I’m in a pretty blue area, so does it really make a big difference?

Weird comment bro

Out of curiosity, what do you think about the fact that they knew from animal testing that the retraction issue existed, but they installed it into a human anyway?

Huh, the unethical company that installed known-bad tech into a human is acting unethically. Interesting.

His family should sue them for fraud and whatever crime is to knowingly injure someone with subpar products.

They tested on animals, identifying the retraction issue… Then did nothing and installed it into a human anyway.

In your example it’d be shampoo that chemically burns pig scalps that is pushed to market for humans anyway.

Stop being an apologist and think about what it means to have billionaires treating desperate people as guinea pigs for invasive technology testing.
