Thanks for this (I’m not the op). While I tend to agree that doomscrolling doesn’t help my mental health, I’m not sure how to square burying my head in the sand vs not paying attention to the crazy shit going on.

I don’t expect an answer or anything, just venting. I feel powerless and my taxes are apparently going to fund a concentration camp.

Yay!

They (Rs) voted to slash FEMA funding like a couple of weeks ago…

How do I join Blahaj zone?

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.

Karl with the Char mecha… I knew I liked that guy.

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.

Didn’t the cheeto say we should nuke Gaza?

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!

Yeah, I’ve heard the code is a total mess, maybe that’s a blocker.

Gw2 is still awesome. Community is cool, which is why I keep sticking around.

His ability to short out lightsabers was another Thrawnism, cortosis weave. Like Thrawn, largely wasted and apparently thrown in for no real reason.

It was… fine I guess. I liked a lot of the actors, but the plot was completely squandered. I finished it, but it’s completely skippable.

They had a chance to tell an interesting story at at least one point in the show but settled for the most boring and pointless story beats instead.
