This is the plot to Ark 3 in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Though it was all "middlemen" including hairstylists and telephone sanitizers. There was no Ark 1 or 2, it was just a fake to get ride of them.

Unfortunately, they crash landed on a planet called Earth and became the human race. And their home planet died of a plague contracted from a dirty telephone.

  1. They are right that it can only be tolerated if the man wears a dress and pretends he is a woman? And only on Thursdays for the pedos?

I get the meme, but it's pretty inaccurate.

I don't much care for number 2 either. We need a return to Western Male dominance and an actual patriarchy in the family again, but we don't need to start treating women as property to be bought, sold, and killed off when they are injured or show too much ankle. We don't have to become barbarians to return to pre-feminist western civilization.

Well, okay, we might have to for a short time.

Kinda splitting hairs here, but that "social acceptance" is the safety they are after. Nothing bad will happen to them and no one will judge them if they are "socially accepted." It's why historically they are quick to adapt to a conquering nation, they must be socially accepted by the new rulers to be safe from them.

The evidence of AI written articles only increases every day. This looks like one of those cases to me.

Like it pulled up the trigger words for the feelings they programmed it to evoke, but like crappy AI it wrote something the human mind interpreted differently.

Do you understand the word "comparatively?"

The Coward and Cortana's tits are hardly pushing communism and transgenderism.

Even better. Once Brandon Sanderson takes over, the story gets much more streamlined and wraps up towards a conclusion instead of just meandering around endless characters and plotlines.

It gets better again after that, and once you get to the Brandon Sanderson books, it's really the highlight of the series. But yeah, I ended up putting down book 10 for a long time as well.

If anyone was wondering why Microsoft, of all the evil companies in the world, was kind of staying out of the Woke fighting, or not getting too involved, and still releasing half decent games that aren't preaching communism, well, this is why. (Even though the company itself is uber-woke, they've mostly kept it out of the games comparatively.)

They're aiming to be last man standing while the rest of the industry goes on a firesale.

Fair warning the next 3-4 books are the biggest slog, almost enough to kill your interest in the series.

It has one of the most, I'm not sure if intentional, accurate representations of women I've ever read in a book series.

Yes and no. One of my biggest complaints for the series is that every single woman is exactly the same, with perhaps a minor exception for Min and Bridget. It's like every other woman is just based on his nagging wife.

In that sense, it's probably pretty accurate just because he had such a detailed study. But none of the characters are anything at all like any of the women in my family, or some of my friends. My old boss? Absolutely spot on. 95% of all waitresses I've ever worked with? Also pretty accurate. However, they still had a lot more variability and differences than the women in WoT.

The closest to an actual strong (emotionally stable and capable) woman is probably Bridget. But the women spend most of the time trying to get her to act more like them, lol. Again, accurate for how those type of women are. But I'm pretty sure he was just writing Bridget as a man.

The few women I've known who behave pretty much exactly like his wife I mean the characters in the books, were rarely very capable at all. Usually so overloaded with gossip that there was no chance they could actually accomplish something, or playing queen of the universe with someone else's money. If you put a group of those women in charge of something it would fail within the year, not last a few thousand.

My vote for most accurate representation of women would probably go to the Dragon's of Pern series. Since the author was a woman, she portrays a lot of different women pretty accurately, and still managed to create strong capable men, in a meritocracy, who had to deal with conniving women and their schemes and fix their problems. Personality and character interaction isn't nearly as much focus as it is in WoT though. Even the books which focus on female protagonists, their primary adversarial issues always seem to be other conniving women. It's also pretty clear with it's representation of both "strong" (emotionally stable and capable) women, and morally upstanding men, being rare and uncommon.

It was so ridiculously shoehorned in. One of the most blatant incidents I know of.

Arrow had given her a "bi" background already, but she had only showed interest in men in every appearance before that. Including season one of the same show. Then ep 1 of season 2 and she's like a completely over the top flirting and trying to sleep with every woman who appears. To the point of like, destroying the timeline. And she's supposed to be in charge!

The "I'm gay and you should know it" episode of Killjoys might be the biggest down point, but it was already weird and not very good by that point.

Season 1 of the Flash was one of the best seasons on TV, IMO, so it's fall from grace really took it's time over the course of every episode after that.

Legends of Tomorrow was a pretty big jump from the last episode of season 1 being a great redemptive arc for a villain, with a genuine comic to screen battle, a serious heroic choice by an excellent main character, then season two puts the worst person in charge because she was a woman, and decides she's an over the top lesbian who want's to captain kirk the timeline.

But, LoT wasn't exactly a shining example of great TV, it was over the top campy fun from the beginning.

I liked season 1, heard nothing about it after that and figured it probably went to hell.

Whatever the percentage is, it doesn't automatically make them all 100% for vax passes and punishing dissenters, either. A good portion of the vaxxed think this stuff is going to far, they just aren't going to do anything about it because they still think it will all be over as soon as they comply hard enough.

bittersweet in nature or outright tragedies,

Not exactly what I mean by fucked up, but would be too much spoiler to explain it. You may fit it better though.

I gave up on M-L and skipped to Alternate for the same reason. As long as you have the basic jist of the story and characters, you'll be fine. The actual "plot" and conclusion of sub-plots isn't really important since it all get's kinda thrown out anyway.

Knowing who the characters are, is the important part. I never felt like I should go back an finish Muv-Love to get the full story.

Alternate is good, but also fucked up and disturbing. I'm about 60/40 on whether it was worth reading or would rather I hadn't read it at all.

Canadian doctors are just telling people like this to get the shot under supervision in the emergency room.

There are not enough prisons in the world to hold all the people we need to put there.

Their "center" is still left of Stalin, so from their perspective, any idiot leftist who isn't outright spouting communism IS right wing.

At the very least, the healthier you are the more likely you are to notice the symptoms and end up diagnosed, because Exertion is what brings the symptoms to the front.

In this sedentary world, a lot of people could develop it without realizing for months.
