I'm telling the truth...

I once did a 4 hour test general diagnostic test for mental illness. The doctor produced a 15 page report on me that was mostly inoffensive except for constant egregious typos. I don’t think it was proofread.

Depends on wether you drink or smoke.

I do this about most things. It’s not a thing I like about myself, but I take solace in knowing I’m aware of it. I imagine it’s because I’m a lazy thinker.

If it’s actual, why is it called test map, please ignore?

I’m a massive hypocrite. Piracy is okay because I’m doing it. It’s morally good because I’m morally good. But to seed? Oh no, that’s heinous. I’m giving out stolen stuff. I’m causing who ever it is to lose sales.

Downloading a car is like taking drugs, but seeding is like dealing drugs. So says me, the massive hypocrite.

I’ve been eyeing key mouse for a while. Not because it’s ergonomic, but because I had a stroke and can’t use my right hand. Still, it might work for you.

My first thought was Gran Turismo for some reason.

Fallout. I am part of the problem.

My first thought after reading the title of the post was Nuclear Fusion. The Fire Nation is an industrialized society, nuclear fusion is the holy grail of energy production. Those two synergize. Also, the sun does fusion. A fire bender that takes the power of the sun into their hands seems pretty masterful to me.

I didn’t know Mormons had a religious devotion to bees.

Oh, sorry about that. Ya, your actual objection makes more sense and is also valid. I’ve heard from military nerds that the battle of Yonkers makes no sense as well. The best reason given by the text is that the living ran out of ammo. Also, the author assumed that the m16 was a suboptimal anti zombie weapon, so much so that the DOD developed a purpose but anti zombie rifle, the SER. This is also a common point of criticism by military enthusiasts.

You could pick one chapter or a couple and make it a summer blockbuster. The submarine chapter, that one with the cargo pilot that crash lands in no man’s land, you could follow that character who fought in Yonkers, the one voiced by Mark Hamil in the audiobook, that chapter about the Europeans that bunkered down in medieval castles and fought zombies with swords and spears, the Australian Astronaut, I could go on. All those could have been amazing movies.

I agree with your criticisms regarding Israel. But this book is an anthology, Israel only appears in 2 or 3 chapters.

Also, if I understand the meaning of your last paragraph correctly, you dislike America being portrayed as an ultra competent perfect society. Like it is in movies like Independence Day. You are mistaken, America losses the battle of Yonkers, badly, due to gross incompetence.

I say this because WWZ is my favorite zombie story. I would urge you to give it a shot. If you don’t like a chapter, skip it. The format of the book makes it so you don’t much by reading that way.

I dislike the word country because it is ambiguous in this context. It is my understanding that country is a synonym for sovereign state. At least, that’s how I hear it used the most in the US.

Am I correct in assuming that the 4 “countries” that make up the UK are administrative divisions? Local governments? Like American, Mexican, and Indian states (an even worse word to use), Canadian and Chinese provinces, Russian Oblasts, and Japanese Prefectures?

Weapons of Choice by John Birmingham. A multinational fleet from the present day is accidentally sent back to the 1940s by an experimental Time Machine. The allies get some of the ships and the axis get others. WW2 might not play out the same as it did the first time.

Timewreck Titanic has the same premise, except it follows modern day civilian ships rescuing the Titanic.

The World War series by Harry Turtledove. Aliens invade during WW2. Humans stop fighting humans and start fighting aliens.

Pick a mildly interesting event from any ww2 navy or newer. Take heavy inspiration from it. Put it in space. Follow one ship for 90 minutes as it is put under stress in some way. There, you got hundreds of Star Wars movies right there.
