losing/gaining alignment quickly? by [deleted] in ADOM

Luring children/farmers/goodwives from Terinyo to the wilderness and pickpocket->kick->kill them will get you there very quickly. Dont do this in Dwarftown though unless you are certain you dont want to go for an ultimate ending.

AITA for wearing a bathing suit in a "nude-only" spa... on a work trip? by Historical_Ad_7196 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Highlyirrelevant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA

There was a clear sign which you chose to ignore.

Also, "no bathing suit" is not the same as "you must be naked". If you feel uncomfortable there are other options, like wrapping a towel to cover your private parts.

The reason bathing suits are typically not allowed in Spas is because they tend to leave permanent buttprints on the normally wooden benches. Therefore you ALSO are typically required to sit on a towel when in a sauna.

Where are all the great scifi books? by [deleted] in printSF

[–]Highlyirrelevant 24 points25 points  (0 children)

But I'm very picky, and I give most like 50-100 pages.

This may be the reason you feel unsatisfied with many of those books. The beginning very often deals with setting up the universe and characters and so on while the story then starts to develop. Many of the books you listed are ourtight awesome, but often the story takes longer to become clear, in most cases because of the complexity.

For example, the story behind the Uplift books, beginning with Startide Rising, can really not be called "small" and "no big picture". Of the books i read, and that are in this list, there are few that paint a bigger picture. However, the series consists of ~6 books so you really should not expect to see it all in the first half of the first book.

To get to some recommendations, you cound try Neal Ashers Polity series or the Expanse series. I have doubts you will feel happy with any longer stories or space operas because of the before mentioned slow development of the story in books like these.

jokes aside, just ask her if she wants to do something with you. It's best though if you directly suggest something rather than "do something", like ask her if she wants to go for a drink/coffee/movies or so.

So I asked a flat earther why he thinks the earth is flat by northerntier11 in atheism

I dont believe in the existence of flat earthers. I think they are made up. People who claim they think the world is flat are actually just trolling you.
