My two personal GOATs are A Fire Upon the Deep and A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. Both won Hugos, so they shouldn’t be tough to find.

To give the quick pitch without spoilers, they’re hard scifi space operas, but heavily character-driven and focused on a high degree of grounded physical realism. On top of being a competent writer, the author (recently deceased) was an active compsci and math professor, so the books have this wonderful feeling of rootedness — in that the technology reflects creations that humans might realistically invent in the next few centuries if we don’t nuke ourselves up first. Also captures the vibe of how we ordinary humans would react and adapt to the consequences of our future tech.

It’s the fun adventure-narrative of Star Wars Episode 4 blended with the political intrigue and attention to space physics that The Expanse series leans into.

Might already be on your radar, but I’ll also toss out Vonnegut as a great choice for soft scifi… ignoring Timequake.

Say what you will but he has factors in his favor: weight class, doughiness, and (absorbent) padding around the groin to prevent cheap shots.

There are no higher order thinking processes running in that brain either, just pure animalistic id. A concussion-inducing blow doesn’t make any difference if those brain cells were already dead.

Lemmy has many servers, with varying levels of uptime, load, and performance.

Sopuli tends to fare much better than lemmy.world.

Not that I disagree with the post… but the general public out here wilding about vaccines and tylenol and fluoride and shit yet missing this extra-stupid medical “conspiracy” will never not be funny to me.

The FDA doesn’t like greenlighting drugs of dubious direct clinical benefit with high abuse potential, so for the sake of expediency, Pfizer decided to push the narrative that Viagra definitely wasn’t fun unless you had peepee problems. No one wants to look like they have peepee problems, so not enough people who’ve tried it are willing to call a spade a spade and say it’s fun af regardless of age or necessity.

Thus the narrative persists.

QED

You’re supposed to boof that.

What are you basing that on?

The linked article roundly suggests that the protestors in question are staunchly anti-war and largely a non-zionist cohort.

From the outset, we protested because the consequences of this unlawful war were clear. It threatened to ignite a regional conflict that would claim countless civilian lives across the Middle East. To us, its stated objectives echoed past catastrophic Western attempts at regime change that produced nothing but prolonged instability and devastation.

Prominent figures of the Zionist left like Yair Golan, and members of anti-government protest groups like “Brothers and Sisters in Arms” (who previously declared their refusal to show up for reserve duty in protest of Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul) failed to show up for a simple reason: They do not oppose the war. The sobering reality is that, beyond a handful of Palestinian and non-Zionist Jewish MKs, there is no genuine parliamentary opposition to the war.

Y’all sleeping on black soldier flies.

They’re copycats that look like mud daubbers, but have no ability to sting or bite. They don’t readily transmit human diseases, and they compete with noxious species like house flies and roaches. Present in most places across the globe.

Their larvae are the most-efficient known converts of input biomass to output protein, they can compost most household foods quite easily, and they’re an excellent animal feed.

Attainder.

Might be a matter of taste, but ISAIF is worth a read on the basis of its wild mix of sociological brilliance and unhingedness IMO. That’s not to say I endorse blowing people up in the slightest, but the work stands taller than the sum of its influences.

E.g. I think he synthesized and added to quite a few different authors in presenting his concept of oversocialization. (Please do correct me if I’m off-base — I love philosophy but it’s not my main wheelhouse).

Nah, you’re likely thinking of McVeigh, who cited The Turner Diaries.

I’m totally on board with the idea that for academic anthropology, self-identity should be treated as the core determinant of cultural grouping: i.e., people are who they say they are.

But IMO, to take that academic lens outside a scholarly context and browbeat that there’s no utility in having a commonplace semiotic label for “common behavioral and stylistic trends of white, working-class British youth from the 90s and aughts” is a weird leap that misunderstands practical semantics.

You’re quoting the political opinion piece of one lone sociologist, though. It’s objectively a hot take that the majority of the field would not agree with.

You can find plenty of physicists who will tell you aliens, bigfoot or alternative dimensions are real. The validity of that statement does not make aliens, bigfoot, or multiverses a physical reality.

What makes this a recurring fixation for you, OP? Didn’t you post a bunch of old threads arguing that chav is a slur?

Just a weird hill, mate.

I think I speak for all Debian users when I say I love me some bussy.

The silent majority has been real silent in this thread — but thank you for speaking up for proper technique.

Someone got lemmy.wang already… Robbery.

Everything else I post on this site is just cover for my Nico shilling, tbh.
