I'm a big fan of Stephen Kings work. He's deserving of respect as a writer and story teller. Your explanation is reasonable and true in the context of the story.

There is just no way to talk about, write about, discuss, etc, stuff like that, without the air in the room not going still as fuck. All of what you say is true, it's still.... off.

And that book was just a bit too long, but again, great book, great writer, questionable AS FUCK portion.

My first thought, like an idiot, "can cows eat flour?" Yeah mate, that's all they eat...

Threats, from the Latin meaning, "large sums of money."

Fuck these people.

No.

I have actual internet friends here. People who, based solely on their efforts and words and interactions, align with my own beliefs and ideals and help me temper and adjust accordingly as time goes on. Adults. I'd happily stay like this or with more, similar people, growing slowly and legitimately.

Lol "final offer" on skilled labor, like they got 30k scabs in their pocket. Fuck them! Hang tough union sisters and brothers! Great share, thanks!

Mother of God, is that a fine meme format.

Kinda a double dose of dumb there. The Beatles were prolific af, AND 1 in 4 songs were top 10. They could easily spawn a dozen memorable bands with all their music. But sure, lol.

Hello young person, do you know why you should care about the government? Me neither. JFC can we address something that actually matters you fucking empty uniforms. Sorry. Great share, and thanks!

"If they were killing 300 white women a year, you don't think they'd have the 82nd Airborne down here?"

As a country and species, we need to be open and honest and start facing these issues directly. I agree with this mother's sentiment.

I always feel good about my choice of leaving reddit when I see the top comment is dumb shit that we all rapidly downvote. Keep lemmy clean friends!

Imagine a boot stamping on a human face, forever.

Ohhhhh boy, I get to nerd out. OK, super short story; reading and chatting about The Expanse book series got me pointed towards the work of Alastair Reynolds. The early parts of his universes arch aren't really relevant for your purposes, but in the latter books, how humanity survives on lifeless rocks, is exactly what you're looking for. Plus, he's a astrophysicist doctor, iirc, and it is quite quite good hard Sci Fi.

You know what I like most about that license plate. They spent more money... to the state... to show their disdain... for the state. It's impressively myopic.
