Hell, I'm pretty sure that by most socially-accepted standards, I'm considered a pretty decent guy and I know for a fact there are folks who have spoken ill of me already. I promise not to be mad if they want to keep talking shit after I've become past-tense.
KJ CharlesIt is my hope that when I die, the world doesn't say a loud "good riddance bitch." I am trying to avoid that fate by *not* being a spectacularly awful person. However, if I do become awful, have at it. aka: Consequences.
"You should never speak ill of the dead!" Historians:
Wayne's World: I Was Not Aware Of ThatAlt: Wayne's World: I Was Not Aware Of Thatstatic.klipy.comKate WatsonOnce again for those at the back: ‘Don’t speak ill of the dead’ is about your great aunt Elsie, who liked a long gin with a short tonic at elevenses, and blew your inheritance money betting on the horses. Speaking ill of absolute monsters is a moral obligation, actually.
You will never guess the context for this 😂
“Olive Garden. When you’re here, you’ll need ID.”So now we are gatekeeping how one obtains dopamine? The big takeaway from posts like yours and the rest comes down to: Questioning his claim because it is not your experience, so therefore something is amiss.
This reminds me of the half-joke about how computer geeks don't really trust technology as far as they can throw it because they know better.
John ScalziEvery now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude
Nobody does a better job of arguing against the use of AI than the companies pushing AI on us.
Greg PakThis is fucked up. Newsmax is worse than Fox.
I have an idea: Everyone with a net worth of more than a million dollars should be conscripted for military service where they will specifically be required to work rear-area support jobs like logistics, maintenance, etc.
Better Things Are PossibleOnce you have a lot of money it becomes easier to get more money by doing nothing, which disincentivizes work. This is why all our billionaires post insane bullshit all day. If they had to work they'd be too busy to act like this, doubly benefiting society
If I forgot to say so on here, Supergirl is, in my not so humble opinion, a great film. The protagonists are hurting and messy and as a result the whole film takes on an entirely different tone than Superman did the previous year.
Chanda Prescod-Weinstein 🌌Hey so also: it’s available on streaming, and I really think you should watch Supergirl, which is about women healing from trauma and beating the shit out of sex trafficking incels. news.chanda.science/archive/you-...
On this note, one of these days I'm going to have to watch a Christopher Nolan film that doesn't have Batman in it. Given my usual tastes it's honestly weird that I haven't seen any of his other stuff.
Kaya Skovdatter 🏳️⚧️ (She/They)Having finally read Emily Wilson's review of Nolan's The Odyssey that has Nolan's fans so up in arms, that's an entirely fair (and excellently crafted) critique. Even without having seen The Odyssey, the failings Wilson cites are what constantly plague his films, and she is not being ungenerous. ->
I'm in my 40s. In the active-duty military, that makes me a wizened elder who tells tales around the campfire.
John ScalziI'm 57. That actually qualifies as "old" in a lot of circumstances. I still say I'm going to film or tape things. I still say I'm going to dial someone's phone number. I still say "emoticon" from time to time. It's fine.
