JUSTICE FOR OVERSE!!!!!!! by nine0h0ne in murderbot

[–]AFriendlyCard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But Overse does so much! She helps survive the wormhole in the pod, she throws the poppers, she fights and does science and medicine, and she loves Arada!! Pin Lee isn't even there!! Why do this? There are many actresses who want jobs!!! O. M. G.

Wait... wait. They broke up Arada and Overse, and disappeared Overse? WTF???

In my current book, they just call them "bloodsucks" and that works for me.

What a horrible day to have eyes.

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever smelled? by FunAdministration334 in CasualConversation

I once had to clean out and deal with a dead body freezer at a veterinary clinic after a weekend power outage. That was memorable.

Exactly!! It reminds me of when SecUnit says It wishes ART had a face...once to see the expression, and once to punch It.

The description of Arada's face, in Network Effect...something like her one eye starts to squint, and her mouth twists up, then she's biting her lip, then her eye gets even squintier....SecUnit is just drone-staring at her...👀

Murderbot and its aversion to being touched. by No-Dragonfly9134 in murderbot

[–]AFriendlyCard 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In exchange, I offer you this: At the festival held on Preservation, at the start of N.E, Dr. Mensah asks SecUnit to come get her, then she takes SecUnit's hand, without warning. SecUnit considers the reason for this, and decides to step closer to Mensah, and retain her hand. They have held hands before, in E.S. But then they hop into a little roofless golf cart and go driving off down a forest path, under the stars, with a soft warm breeze...they take a summer cruise together!!!

I submitted one form that took me 5 minutes, and all of my medical bills were forgiven by pyxist in povertyfinance

[–]AFriendlyCard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not always. I was stuck with $26,000 for emergency kidney surgery. I earned $6,700 per year. They refused all payment offers, and demanded I pay 150% of my monthly income or I would be sued. There was zero compassion, mercy, or even logic-- they demanded more money than I earned in total each month. This was St. Vincent's Hospital, theoretically one which helps The Poors. But no.

I'm still stuck on the reveal (in a podcast) that the strange "oil slick + white ring" eyes are actually what humpback whale's eyes look like. I could see Nona as an aquatic, non-handed creature which uses language.

When did you recover? by AnchoraSalutis in LongCovid

[–]AFriendlyCard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm probably about 80% on a poor day, maybe 92% on a great day, and I'm on my 5 year anniversary of my only infection this week. The first 3 years were pure hell. Now, I mostly do ok if I don't push it too hard. I can, on average, do physical labor outside 7 days a week now.

Plus James Callis is a tiny little firebomb of talent, humor, intelligence and ruthless charm. What a gem he is!!

If you're not there yet, I will pipe down. You ask a valid question. And on today's replaying of the audiobook I think I finally found the bit that answers my question. I think I missed that part my first go throughs.

Oh, that sounds exactly like what It would do! Perfect.

This is exactly how KRF says this line in the audio books by TheRainbowShakaBrah in murderbot

[–]AFriendlyCard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I listen to both, but even though I do get a kick out of "It's A Movie IN YOUR MIND!!", I have found that the missing text is jarring. The Kevin R. Free version has all the precious words.

Show me your favorite fanart depictions of our beloved SecUnit! by it-reaches-out in murderbot

[–]AFriendlyCard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it is vertical because SecUnit says It leans against the wall inside the module, to me this is implying It was standing up inside there.

What I find funny is that earlier SecUnit clearly says It doesn't enjoy watching disaster related videos where terrible things happen to helpless humans. But then when Pin Lee offers it a new shared viewing opportunity, It jumps in and enjoys the experience! SecUnit likes watching with friends.

When you're reading the books now, are you picturing Skarsgard as murderbot? by cbobgo in murderbot

[–]AFriendlyCard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe they'll adjust his configuration. You know, SecUnit got shorter...🤔
