That headline is a bit of consummate click-baitery.

That’s a great overview...thanks!

Because if you don’t do exactly what the say, whatever it is, they very well might blow your brains out. This is the country we live in now and may have always done so. Those phone cameras...where would we be without them?

And there’s nothing we can do about it...is there?

I desperately wish Gabourey had made the clerk jump through as many hoops as possible, buy a whole bunch of stuff, then immediately return it. It would drive the clerk batshit crazy, having to serve a black woman, consoling herself with the fact that at least she gets a nice commission, then having to kiss her…

It appears the geek is a serial racism denier. A stroll down the memory lane of their comments is an illuminating adventure.

“But it probably won’t as GGG will KO him.” 

Printing out and pinning to my cubicle wall. Wish my thesis advisor had pumped me up with something like that.

Best thread ever!

The cracker-ass cracker had been forced to resign from 2 previous “law enforcement” agencies. I’m profoundly curious how many cops and deputies fired by their departments for serious violations of policy and law are simply recycled back into law enforcement at a police department just down the road.

You’re trying to engage in a conversation with someone who clearly doesn’t want to engage in a conversation. He’s just a grenade thrower and a narcissist.

Would not massively lethal doses of morphine serve the purpose?

You’re not going to win this fight. They’re never wrong.

Then I guess it’s just an argument about how to define the genre. For me, all fictions about an imagined, hypothetical future is science fiction. 1984? Science fiction. Fahrenheit 451? Science fiction. Neither of the plots are predicated on technology that wasn’t already present at the time of writing, but they…

“After all, the whole point of science fiction is to extrapolate about the future and science/technology’s role in it.”

Oh! You’re gonna get it. You better duck!

Science fiction is and always has been, among other things, speculative stories about the future, whether they be dystopian, utopian, reimagined, whatever. Atwood, despite her protestations to the contrary, is also an sf writer who also has her books shelved in the “Literature” section of the book store. Why she…

This may be unfair, but the ease with which he went on and on leads me to believe that he’s used that word often enough that he doesn’t even have to think about it. When I contemplate saying that word, my brain does a little short circuit. I’m not saint, but that’s just a line my body and brain can’t cross.

Oh HELLZ yes!

I play KOTOR on a Kindle Fire. Bring the hate.
