Oh man, "did you want to hear this again?" Every single fucking time I would be mashing a to get through his dialog and press yes by accident. Every time...

Expanse is like reading an amazing and realistic adventure.
Hyperion is like reading an adventure while high on shrooms.
They're both very well written and entertaining, but so different in their set-up.
Currently in my life I prefer realistic style scifi over mind bending stuff, so I'd recommend the expanse. .
Man, this should also be a thing for humans. Seeing my grandmother deteriote very slowly is just painful. She wants it to end, we want it to end seeing her deaf, borderline blind and slowly turning incontinent, but her very old body just keeps going on and on without needing long term medical care. Should be part of human rights, dying on your own terms (without having to resort to violence, eg suicide)
Sure, if you already look like a model. If you're an average Joe, it'll just look absolutely stupid imo.
As long as they don't reach over the jacket, anything is fine imo. If the shirt collar is over your jacket at any point, it looks absolutely horrendous. You look like some wannabe failed pimp or a teenager that can't dress themselves.
Interesting article image :) Lemmy glitch? Or bbc glitch?
Considering how lazy I am, there is no way my brain would bother with all the little details I see everywhere when I go out. When I'm at a busy station or crossing and I literally see thousands of different people walk by, not a single repeat face? Proof enough for me this is real tbh.
(and if you go the simulation way, who cares? If a simulation can give billions of ppl their own lives, feelings, dreams and hopes, it does not matter in the slightest to the ppl living in it that it's real or a simulation)
Fuck texting like a Neanderthal. Use a modern, and secure app to communicate. WhatsApp as a bottom of the barrel thing (99% of society outside of the US is on it, so it's the de facto standard) , signal or better if you can.
Never watched the movie, but the book made me thoroughly fear a post apocalyptic society. Tlou or Twd looks like a visit to Disneyland in comparison.
I've gotten some good book recommendations through tiktok. But at the same time, the average tiktok video gives me like 3-5 recommendations. I see multiple of these videos every day. My to read list basically requires me stop working and live until my mid 250s to read everything....
The submarine dude that got rid of a few more in one go?
