I’m intrigued by the use of the verb “require”. In what circumstances can you be required this and why must you comply?

Your attitude helped the Fanta Menace to win, so you don’t get any sympathy for me.

You sound like those idiots complaining that “NuTrek is too woke”.

I am concerned about ten forward seemingly deciding to do a war on fascism.

Can you explain the concerning thing?

Because his voters didn’t consider the victims human in the first place.

I think Americans need to realise that Trump won by popular vote

That means that most USians are appalling people.

As a Latin-American suffering for decades the consequences of US foreign policies, I’m not surprised.

I was thinking more about the villains of The Net.

Amazing. I’m not willing to exercise the permanent sacrifices that having kids entails.

Pretorians.

My preference is Nikola.

The proper course of action would be to translate the foreign language and add those subtitles in italics.

A relationship defined in their own learned psychopathic terms.

Stranger has a point where you can feel in your body the whiplash of the change in tone. After the middle point Heinlein was blocked for years, and when he continued the result was grotesque.

When you start reading dialog about what happens in Heaven, when the story started as proper sf, you know that the author lost the plot (literally and figuratively).

Solid choices.

Your “best of sf” doesn’t include many recognized classics. That’s weird. No LeGuin, no Bester?

I thought the idea was that the answers were to be provided by others. After all, the community is called AskLemmy, not Soapbox.

Yeah, I don’t care anymore. I just use a few smile emoji, and the facepalm one, because I never found a satisfactory emoticon for it.

Same as emoticons did, now with Unicode Consortium approval! 😁

Something like this would cause me a deep depression in month.

I’m trying to think of a funny way for Ryan to misunderstand Lemmy, but nothing comes to mind.

Hell no. That would turn anything other than unflinching obsequiousness towards obnoxious clients and potential fraudsters into a firing offense. Specially in the already dystopian US job market.
