    It isn’t all too uncommon of a story what with the supposed potency of virgin sacrifice, virgin foreseers whose powers are literally tied to their maidenhood, shit like that.

    I’m not saying it was a good choice, I’m just pointing out that King is not the only weirdo to have ever existed.

    I think that we all have really fucked up thoughts every now and again, and behaving like we never have is a great way to delude ourselves into believing a false reality.

    Better to own them and grow than bury them and act like you’re some golden god on high.

    Horror that heavily involves sexual themes is definitely difficult. Unless you make it immediately disgusting, a la Meatcanyon, it’s nearly impossible to make it seem like anything other than a thinly veiled fetish.


  • As a known .ml hater, nah man — they’re right. What you’re suggesting is extremely hypocritical. Do you realize how much better the U.S.’ current circumstances would be if instead of offshoring all of our factories we 1) held them to stronger environmental safety standards 2) didn’t fucking close them. Actually, the world would likely be much better off.

    We’re in this mess because a shitload of people have willfully ignored the real cost of having their supermarket packed with meat 100% of the time, no exceptions. The real cost, 17.42 megatonnes of Co2 in 2022, from iPhone production alone. The real cost of their freedoms being paid for in blood and sweat from Chinese/Indian and 3rd world sweatshops.

    So, yes, if we’re unwilling to shoulder environmental and labour burdens for our products — we should not have those products.






  • According to a quick search (memory is foggy) it is set around 2350 — humans have colonized most of the solar system. They have fusion reactors and ships capable of traveling from Earth to the Jovian moons (I think? I’m not sure if they go further). There is definitely advanced medicine regarding surviving spaceflight (i.e. performing maneuvers that put you in otherwise unliveable circumstances without drugs).

    The circumstances of Earth, Mars and the Belt are delicate. Without spoiling too much, no the Belters do not have good health care.

    I like the Expanse, I was a fan of the books before the show. The show is good, some aspects are better than the books — but I haven’t actually finished the show itself. Give it a shot if you’re into hard science fiction!

    Edit: I should note, a baby born in the belt could be taken to Mars or Earth and they would grow up fine. The Belters themselves aren’t riddled with genetic diseases or anything like that, growing up in low g’s is just fucked.
