@redrummarts Also at one point Cervantes book is there making it very on point and meta.

@SwannMarcus89 Obsession is the interesting one because it’s both indie (production wise) and studio (everything else). I guess in that way it shows the virtues of selling out (and funnily enough also doing things non-union)

@crankynotions Eating green coffee beans gives you some caffeine and the rest is just more processing. Ten story was the farmer found his goats eating the beans and being energetic

@LichQueenSpeaks @roteklaus @kittcanis When I was a teenager yeah. Though now having read more and grown up, solid opinion. If it helps it’s also why I think libertarianism is stupid (but so much a worse read)

[T Santilli @somaranon]

@Lasermazer @MaxFagin One of the big questions is about having kids. so you’d need someone to go up there and get pregnant and see if their kid survives birth and growing up (and can be repatriated to earth without dying in this scenario).

@RealRadHom Please tell me there’s a Votann captain called Ahab hunting a giant white tyranid ship.

@BocchiDumbass @LichQueenSpeaks @roteklaus @kittcanis I can sorta see that, but think that probably fails as a good metaphor given iirc the moon people are effectively ideal settlers (no displacement of locals). Plus with the independence because conquest isn’t worth it, it looks more like space Australia than third world

[T Santilli @somaranon]

@DeuceRuth @kittcanis Yes, but also not my issue with anarchism (though I do think thats a valid critique). I saw it as an internal issue, that anarchism would be unsustainable and was only being sustained by belief. (been a while since I read but I recall that was an anxiety of the main character)

[T Santilli @somaranon]

@GobbledWobbles @roteklaus @kittcanis It is cosmically ironic yes.

[T Santilli @somaranon]

@LichQueenSpeaks @roteklaus @kittcanis I should also clarify that this is why I respect Le Guin as one of the best speculative fiction writers.

[T Santilli @somaranon]

@LichQueenSpeaks @roteklaus @kittcanis My takeaway from the book was anarchism cannot work as the only reason it was working here was basically author fiat. On reflection after some years it also basically required depicting the anarchists as incredibly nationalistic (this is cosmically funny as well)

[T Santilli @somaranon]

@LichQueenSpeaks @roteklaus @kittcanis On reflection, yeah basically (to the cause of anarchism, which is an incredible irony), like they have to make godly inhuman sacrifices to keep things going. (I suspect the influence was more Soviet stories of heroic workers, which honestly same thing but communist)

[T Santilli @somaranon]

@roteklaus @kittcanis I was more taking, this only survives cause the author really wanted it to (but knew this). And looking back because all the anarchists are also all the most devoted nationalists possible.

@The_Davos_Man Already did that first year of the war, wonder how much copy pasted they’ll be able to get away with

@agraybee @reesetheone1 Is this gonna be another Magyr where the winner runs on being competent not corrupt right wing? My understanding is there’s not really a left anymore in isreali politics

[T Santilli @somaranon]

@quantian1 Also underrated is that easy bomb/elevator methods require massive amounts of low yield uranium. One reason early bombs were exclusively bombers instead of missiles was the sheer weight of the material.

[T Santilli @somaranon]

@NightJanit0r @Noahpinion I was wondering why the missile
Went straight for it. Looked to smooth for a misfire/malfunction Inwas thinking deliberate sabotage almost

[T Santilli @somaranon]

@Bartaway Only technically, which makes it irrelevant to the conversation as it’s just a way to dodge the question
