So you are the type of guy that all those unimaginative books and series are made for? Where every goddamn alien looks like a human with some patch on his nose and an unusual haircut, and you can see stranger things on underwater nature tv shows. Where they are in the future and/or in space, and do the same boring shit that they could do in a historic novel. And where you just think: "My god, this is all the futuristic stuff you can come up with?"
No offense. If you like it, be happy.:) But I for one, just wonder why you read sci-fi then? If the weird futuristic stuff does not matter, and you even dislike it...?
I know that many people create a false dichotomy, that goes like this: Well, the story matters. Not all the weird things. But in reality, nothing stops you from writing a good story that also includes the weirdest things. In fact there is no reason why that should not add something to it.
"Truely weird in a futuristic way" is the very point of sci-fi, in my eyes. (Good stories are what I expect in any genre anyway, and does not need being specially mentioned.)
There is no such thing as unbiased. This is because bias is 1. relative and 2. a physical must. Unbiased is like ungravitational, or unpositioned. It's impossible in this reality. So what you mean is: A news source that fits into your reality.
This is no bad or good thing. It's just how it is. And the sooner you allow this thought into your brain, the sooner you will be able to use any source of information, no matter where their bias is. Because then you can add an inverse filter, and get out all useful data that is in there for you. Even with Fox News. (Of course much less, but still some. ^^)
The question is: Does this comment fit into your reality? Because if not, then you can't accept it, and it becomes useless. ^^
I think your comment has to go to some history book in the future. Or some other important speech/documentary/etc. It it very true, and fits the situation perfectly. Fasten your seatbelts. Put your seats in an upright position. We now have entered the world of fascism.
Also, your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. ^^
Nonono. You misunderstood me. Of course I accept your "fact". (Even when you're only a random guy on the net stating something, why would you lie?)
I just meant that it does not matter if the old industry got hurt. Because it did not hurt the people in the long run. The new industry filled the gap. And that new industry created new jobs. Even more than the old industry. So in the end it's a good thing.:)
Who cares. There are more people now in the TV news industry, than there ever were in the movie news industry. People always forget that never ever in history did death of one thing not mean space and resources for something new and better to replace it.
I can imagine there being the same "discussion" about wheels, and maybe even the first stone blades. But I dunno if monkeys fear other monkeys more, who use a stick or stone instead of their fists, to break their bones. ^^
Funny thing: Scour Exchange was even bigger. I had them both, and dropped Napster, because SE had the double amount of active users. 40 million at the same time, from what I remember. And remember that this was a single-server-solution. So you can imagine that you could find pretty much everything and it's dog there. I remember that when Madonna's "Music" came out, I searched, and found 12 different remixes. All of those available in more than 2-3 different qualities. Of course this was a "crappy mainstream chart topper". But I can't remember not finding anything. (And I never ever accept not finding something. There are things that I literally searched for years, and found. Like while label recordings that were never sold but only given to 7 DJs in the whole world!)
Well, the navy has a boss. The boss of that boss is the president. If the FAA tells the president "that crazy guy at the navy breaks the law and threatens to kill us". the president can kick their ass with all he has. Like some big red button for example. I put my money on the FAA.
Exactly. 20 monitors for one (huge?) person, in a sub-basement, give a very specific satellite signature. And if not, just follow the smell of bawls/sweat/pizza/hotpockets. ^^
Slashdot Mirror
Whooosh!
Don't worry. He did not link the URL. And we're not copying and pasting URL to the address bar anytime soon. (God, that was painful to even write. ^^)
Actually, you write "Blitzkrieg" in one word. (Like pretty much anything that is one thing in German.) :)
Proof of concept: Rhabarberbarbarabarbarbarenbartbarbierbierbarbärbel. ;)
Whoops. My bad. Sorry. You are of course right.
Way to go, pointing out errors in others, while being wrong myself, I guess. ^^

Not exactly that long. Earth-Moon takes 1/4 of a second. Earth-Sun takes 8 seconds. But still way too long. ^^

Sorry if I did not state things clearly enough.
So you just repeat the same tired unimaginative copypasta jokes year after year unanonymously? ^^
Hey, you even rant like a troll. ^^
Sorry, but what has a local drilling to do with the total mass? It's like saying that I slimmed down because I'm 10 cm shorter in body height.
There's a joke about cheap teacups out of lead-painted china in there... But I just can't get it out...
Hey, a new flavor: Apple pie Tibet!
*gets hit in the face*
You mean: If you buy a Tibet here, you will get another Tibet for just one penny! If you can find a cheaper Tibet anywhere... INVAAADEEE IIIT!
(Yes, I know. Very insensitive. Tibetans: I'm with you!)
Try it on me. Just try it.
You'll be blind before you can say "OMGJESUSTURNOFFTHATTHINGHELPWHATISHEDOING???"
Yours. ^^
Hey, I'm starting a new project. Wanna join? It's called "Project Mayhem".

Does anybody remember that photography was once said to take away your soul. Even mirrors were a thing of the devil, way back in the old old times.
And the little note at the bottom or this sign should tell you something about electric light to.

What does this have to do with language?
