To paraphrase one of our own luminaries:
"It’s becoming so impossible to deny the truth about blacks that I’m starting to suspect an unknown invisible group is tricking me."
What an absolute nigger.
mRNA shots that make your body produce candy!
mRNA shots that print money!
mRNA shots that beam Disney+ directly into your brain, for free!
Think of all the Science™️ you're throwing away!
Welcome to 1995.
Feminine AI. Can't wait until someone invents a male AI. Imagine the productivity!
On a long enough scale, Armageddon.
I never read those past the first. If there are audiobooks, I might have to look into them.
The Thrawn trilogy by Zahn has audiobooks with production values that verge on radio plays. I'd look into pirating them, though. The price is a joke.
Oh, that. I thought you meant something more. I just took that to mean the artist-types had found video games. It didn't rise to the level of hate for me. Just contempt.
What was the intent? I dug around a little bit, but didn't see anything concrete, just "it's, like, art, man."
Same question, u/SR388-SAX
It is. "Bird flu" isn't transmitted by eggs to humans. Besides, you know what happens to a sick hen if you leave her alone? She either dies or gets better. In either case, she's immune to that strain of the flu.
We're culling the healthcare workers.
Really? How can I help?

Very insightful. Good comment.
"At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from the classic novel Don't Create the Torment Nexus."
Why are children dying of a disease with a near zero fatality rate, Mr. Secretary?
Fine motor control, spacial reasoning, strategic thinking, you name it. Not to mention the will to dedicate oneself to a game.
You weren't joking. I thought I was sufficiently girded. I was not.
This is the kind of opinion I read once and think "how delightfully bizarre to have a stance on that" but then it rattles around in my head for a month until I agree with it.
I have multiple friends who were declined small loans (on the scale of a car loan) because of insufficient debt (not credit score) despite having cash on hand to buy the item outright. The indicators they use are crazy.
Nasty.
Neuromancer is unique in that there really aren't other entries in the genre it codified. There are a handful of short stories that predate it, but nothing after it genuinely understood cyberpunk beyond an aesthetic (don't get me started on Snowcrash).
Neuromancer has been devalued almost from its publication date, so this is just another insult in a long lineage of insults.
Mr. Metcalf is obviously out of line. Now, if he had refused to leave and then stabbed the lawyer to death, that would be a different story.
