Sunnyside Studio28 июл., 19:02I might be opposed to them too, if I could trust the police to enforce traffic violations without shooting people. So instead I support anything that reduces police interactions with civilians.
Sunnyside Studio28 июл., 18:28Wait, got that wrong. "Mote in Gods Eye" was Niven and Pournelle. I was reading all three of those guys around the same time and got them confused.
Sunnyside Studio28 июл., 17:39Lol, I remember playing Halo in college and telling my friends "this is just a ripoff of Ringworld", but yeah another book that I doubt would hold up as an adult. I also remember my Dad and I really liking "The Mote In God's Eye" a lot, which Niven wrote with Card. So, doubly problematic authors...
Sunnyside Studio28 июл., 17:16I liked some of his books before I found out about his work with the GWB administration. Super disappointing and kinda horrifying to learn about
Sunnyside Studio28 июл., 16:43Enders Game blew my mind at 12 and got me into scifi. I still have a soft spot for it despite knowing about Card, but after finding out about him, I haven't continued going through his catalogue. There are definetely better authors out there.
Sunnyside Studio28 июл., 16:39I read a lot of Card when I was a kid, before he was so vocally anti-gay marriage, and I enjoyed his books, but I was a teenager and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't hold up.
Sunnyside Studio28 июл., 15:44It's not like we don't have the history of rivers catching on fire and food full of sawdust to tell us deregulating companies is a bad thing. Didn't we all have to read The Jungle in high school?
Sunnyside Studio26 июл., 18:18Yeah I know, but am I wrong in thinking that looks way bigger than a regular DVD case?
