Oh nice, thanks for the recommendations

That definitely makes sense. What’s a good SF book you’ve read recently?

I just had a friend tell me he loved the whole series (with caveats), why didn’t you like it?

My favorite internet video on the subject: https://youtu.be/WlP9aJnzyZw

Yes, but to be more exact, men get in more expensive accidents, and women get into more frequent cheaper accidents. I assume it has to do more with risk taking.

If only some men used those neurons to read

Thank you! That has to be it.

… From ‘It’s a wonderful life’ ?

Foresters. You have to have a degree(most are 2 years, but still), and you can make less than the fed poverty rate. The exception is a federal job, but those are very competitive.

I do agree with you about the ick of it all, especially with it winning the tony like you mentioned. I think musicals have a weird relationship with reality, which can make creepy characters/situations hit different people in different ways. I think phantom/love never dies is a prime example of this.

And I get that this is a forum, but people get replies to their comments sent to their inbox, and it feels weird when I post something and then people disagree as if they aren’t in a discussion with me.

If someone said they enjoy something, why did you reply about how you think it’s bad? It’s a story that means a lot to them. I know this is the Internet where the other users don’t have feelings, but come on.

Maybe people are understandably uncomfortable with self immolation? Nobody has ever liked an effective activist in their time. The civil rights protesters in USA had a <25% approval rate in the 60s.

I think this person did what he thought was right, and I will remember him for that. And peace can’t come soon enough.

Thank you for the hypothetical explanation. I was utterly unable to figure out how something so insane actually happened. This at least makes some sort of sense.

The translation was happening when describing peaceful Palestinian protestsers, that was the problem.

Is that a fun way of saying glasses?
