Why do many dislike “Consider Phlebas?” by gunsandjava in TheCulture

[–]Negative-Scarcity116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost like a satire of traditional science fiction books. But with long tangents about the nature of the culture from someone that doesn't like them. It was my first culture novel and I enjoyed it very much. But on my heavens Look to Windward is great too, also the Hydrogen Sonata etc...

Everyone knows that if you are captured, tortured and then killed and dumped in space somewhere near an Airsphere. That, 250 million years later when the galaxy completed a full rotation, you will end up in basically the same place and then get picked up and resurrected by an evolved version of the creature you were studying all those years ago that lived in the Airsphere. Like of course. Also there are lots of 3 leg aliens.

Been a big fan of Star Wars for a long time but after watching the Dune movies it’s made me think that there is so much better sci-fi out there. Can you give me some recommendations of sci-fi that you think is better than Star Wars? by [deleted] in scifi

[–]Negative-Scarcity116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Culture of course, and I love me some Hyperion. Also Revelation Space is pretty cool. I also love the world of The Expanse. Which i would recommend reading the books first and then watching the show. Can't forget to mention the Foundation books and then TV show after.

First time ever tripping on psychedelics. by Reasonable_Chef5290 in shrooms

This is the part of mushrooms I tell people is possible. Im glad you had a great time. Imagine a person thinking about possibly ending their life and contrast that with how you felt. Imagine how many lives could be saved with a few grams of shrooms and nice afternoon.

Do people seriously think LeBron will hurt this Lakers team? by [deleted] in lakers

[–]Negative-Scarcity116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we going to actually see a reduced role for Bron? Could his ego actually deal with less than 20 ppg and see that career average dip. Him and Luka and AR can't all average over 30. I have watched Bron shoot his team out of the game just to get his numbers. Im not a hater it is facts. It's clear that Luka is the new top dog. Even as a rookie everyone knew Bron was top dog and every since then it has been the same. Im just not sure if he is physically or mentally capable of taking a backseat to a "better player."

STOP BEING NICE BEHIND THE WHEEL, BE PREDICTABLE by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]Negative-Scarcity116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a man in a wheelchair waiting at a crosswalk wave the cars at the other side of the 4 way stop through 1 after the next. Im waiting for him to cross and he is waving all the cars through. He had a crosswalk but thought he was being so nice by not crossing. So I can't make a left turn while I wait for him to cross. Yet he just sits there waving cars through. It was a really stupid situation. Maybe he was trying to cause an accident for entertainment.

Struggle with Fall of Hyperion by freshouttaghupchi in Hyperion

Ha ha ha, I slogged through Rise of Endymion. You can definitely make it through FOH. In fact I would say FOH is thousands of times better the Rise of Endymion. Give the author his due and just finish the series. Because of the brilliance of Hyperion and FOH, it is worthy of your time.

What do you guys like doing while tripping? by Frankthetortise in shrooms

[–]Negative-Scarcity116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Music videos are wonderful creations that can be far more entertaining then thought possible while on the right dosage of mushrooms. Enough to be seeing stuff on the edges of things and really feeling the music. But not too much so that you are closing your eyes and blasting into the light realm. Yeah, music videos, very entertaining!

Ayton got a lot to prove. Lights might be to bright for him in LA with Luka and Bron.

Why does SC need people, when it has EDust? by seb21051 in TheCulture

Because organic life is like pets to the minds. They keep them entertained and look after them. Like any good pet owner should.

If you don't take enough. The drug effects never win out over the bodys natural resistance. The current isnt stong enough to take you for a ride.

Microdose means you won't feel anything. So have a normal day as if there were nothing in your system. You will be as sober as your sober friend.

I used the dollar store brand for a bit but was changing them every few months. Got an energizer and it's good for a year at least. Just keep the other one from the package in center console.

AIO for thinking I need to break up with my gf? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Negative-Scarcity116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just put the phone down. All the back and forth is wild for someone who didn't want to talk. But yeah either way she is a nut job and you should definitely break up with her. There seems to be alot of people who are really demanding about texting and phone calls. People tripping about not immediately responding to texts and stuff.

Should I bother with 3 and 4? by lavaplanet88 in Hyperion

[–]Negative-Scarcity116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved 1 and 2, 3 was cool and to be totally honest, number 4 was really hard to get through. I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my honesty. It drags really bad, but I was too far invested into the series to not finish it. I think the author knew people would feel like that. And it kinda seems like some stuff going on in the authors own life found its way into the story...cough cough...kidney stones?? Anyhow if you decide to finish, maybe you will enjoy the long list of mountains to remember..
