Has anyone else read “Ministry for the Future,” by Kim Stanley Robinson? It is depressingly realistic.
It’s like turning off your radio so you can read the map better.
Gotta go big screen for big purchases.
That’s how I feel about Neuromancer and most other cyberpunk books.
I love the addition of Snow Crash. I never see SF books in free libraries.
Edit: And Charles De Lint! You never see him these days. Kick ass free library, OP
Ours was "Did you hear that noise??"
That sounds just like r/SaltLakeCity
one could argue that the prelude to the civil war started before independence, since the Quakers were anti-slavery. even disregarding that, fighting was occuring over slavery for decades prior to the formation of the Confederacy - the famous bit at the tail end of that, "bleeding Kansas", occured in the early 1850s.
a mere 4 or 8 year length of time is largely inconsequential.
The US Civil War is more significant than just the penultimate legal question on slavery. It also set the tone for politics for the next 50 years, completely destroyed the population and economy of nearly half the country, and paved the road for some of the most important Amendments to the US Constitution.
Plus the advances in war time technologies, tactics, and medicine weren’t too shabby.
What I find particularly interesting is that the Confederacy only existed for 4 years, meaning to run around with an Obama flag would more historically relevant than this shit.
“Historically relevant” or “historically significant” is really tricky thing to judge sometimes. While Obama’s 2 terms as president meant he was in charge for 8 years vs the Confederacy’s 4, I believe the Confederacy and the US Civil War they caused was more historically relevant than Obama’s 8 years as president.
There’s a whole lot of nasty from the war and immediate fall out we’re seeing feeling today.
Someone has been downvoting me every time I get a response from you on each comment.
That’s interesting. That’s not what I can see on my end, but then again Memmy has been pretty glitchy the last few days.
Are you seeing my point now?
Have you seen anyone downvoting you? Even when you’re acting like a stubborn fool, your karma for this conversation hasn’t been negatively impacted.
I feel like you are being a dick about this.
Funny, I could say the same about you.
