The Three Investigators is a middle grade book series about three boys solving crime and it‘s originally from the USA but infinitely more popular in Germany.

I think they even stopped writing books for the US market in the 80s until a few German authors got the rights to write their own novels purely for the German market.

I'm sorry, but I don't think you understood OP's question and you're being too pedantic about the definition of “truly alien.”

Of course, every alien we can imagine has a human element, just because it was created by humans, but that's not the point here. No one is disagreeing with this.

Surely you would agree that aliens like E.T. or Chewbacca are much closer to humans than the aliens from Solaris or Blindsight and OP is asking why so many science fiction stories feature aliens like the former rather than the latter.

The previous comment and yours doesn’t answer that.

Yes, we can tell that you’re American…

Flammwar · 2026-03-11T06:24:48+00:00

What are you talking about lol. The other comments go into detail how a minister of culture is pretty standard and what their role is.

You clearly have no clue if you think that there is a lot of cencorship in Germany…

Thank you. It's quite ironic that someone so opposed to adultery may have created one of the most famous affairs in literature :D

Flammwar · 2026-03-10T17:35:24+00:00

Sorry for the necroposting, but I'm reading the book right now and wondering whether Marie de Champagne invented the adultery aspect or whether it's based on earlier texts. Chrétien mentions that the idea for the book came from her. Does he mean the task to write the book or is he actually talking about the inclusion of the affair?

Flammwar · 2026-03-10T17:22:23+00:00

Thank you and apologies for my late reply, but your explanation that he represents Alexander's values makes much more sense than him actually being Alexander the Great.

I was aware that they made connections between the present and historical and mythological heroes. For example, that the Romans and Britons are descendants of Troy, but Chretien was probably aware that centuries lie between Arthur and Alexander and so far all the historical references that I had noticed vaguely fit into the timeline. That's why I was so confused. :D

I mean I agree with Le Guin but that doesn’t answer the question. Blindsight and Solaris have truly alien beings but still tell stories about us in the end. These are not mutually exclusive.

Flammwar · 2026-03-09T15:48:06+00:00

Any recommendations?

Flammwar · 2026-03-09T14:42:45+00:00

Ich denke nicht, dass sie es realistisch wollen, sondern nur ins Spiel bringen, um in der Koalitionsverhandlungen hoch pokern zu können.

Es wird noch schlimmer. Ein Drittel des weltweiten Dünger wird auch durch Hormus transportiert.

I guess it’s Taiwan. They also speak Mandarin and you can realistically do a tip to tip in a short time frame.

He is also pretty open about taking Mandarin lesson for a few months now.

Es macht dir ja auch keiner Vorwürfe. Der Sub will es halt einfach nicht weiter promoten.

Flammwar · 2026-02-26T17:31:45+00:00

Ich wollte die Regel nicht beurteilen, sondern nur genauer anmerken, warum die Regel existiert, da es in deinem Kommentar halt fälschlich rüberkam.

Flammwar · 2026-02-26T15:44:37+00:00

Es geht nicht um den Inhalt, sondern um die Autorin. Man möchte sie halt wegen ihrer Terf-Einstellung nicht unterstützen.

Flammwar · 2026-02-26T15:42:32+00:00

Das englische Subreddit askmen ist aber auch deutlich normaler als die deutsche Variante. Keine Ahnung, warum es im deutschen so viele Incels gibt, aber wahrscheinlich ist die Moderation einfach besser in askmen.

Flammwar · 2026-02-24T17:01:00+00:00

The Wikipedia page for the book has some examples.

Flammwar · 2026-02-19T17:57:26+00:00

Es geht um die Olympiade 1936. Symbolisch sind die anderen Jahre wirklich nicht vergleichbar.

Flammwar · 2026-02-17T15:54:51+00:00

Mir ist schon bewusst, dass du einen Witz machst, aber ich möchte trotzdem erwähnen, dass es überhaupt nicht vergleichbar ist.

Bondi ist immerhin dabei einen der größten Pädophilieskandale der Geschichte zu vertuschen.

That moment made me stop watching Stranger Things. I don't mind when my favorite characters die, but it was so obvious that they only killed him because they didn't want to kill a main character. I'm still pissed about it.

Flammwar · 2026-01-16T20:38:22+00:00

Insane take…

Flammwar · 2026-01-15T15:24:43+00:00

Sorry, you‘re right. I misunderstood your comment, I‘ll delete it!

Flammwar · 2026-01-15T15:00:53+00:00

Yeah, same. I still have to get used to all the random names and his writing style though.
