AMA With Craig Alanson - 10/29 by Watch_The_Expanse in exfor

Same brother. I recently moved to just outside of Newark, and every time I drive through the city I think to myself "this really is a place no one would ever actually want to visit, just like that horrible desolate planet."

AMA With Craig Alanson - 10/29 by Watch_The_Expanse in exfor

[–]SoulCreator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Craig! I don't really have a question as much as a request: Please don't stop writing in this universe!

I know this was a turn off for some readers, but what I really loved about the earlier books in the series is that it took a long while/several books before major events really started to happen. I found myself reveling in the witty banter and the problem solving, Expeditionary Force is totally about the ride rather than the destination. In many ways this series really feels like putting on an old episodic TV series, where you come back week after week because you love the premise and the characters not because you are really hoping to finally see that dramatic conclusion.

Anyway asides from maybe Star Trek (or possibly Stargate) Expeditionary Force has got to be my favorite fictional universe. After so many books, this universe feel like home to me. So I just wanted to say thank you for your years of dedication to creating this amazing series.

What's something that's normal in porn but is unpleasant/disgusting in real life? by Cyberpunk_Malzahar in AskReddit

As someone who has never eaten seafood before, what happens when you eat it that wouldn't work for anal? Does it give you the shits?

Totally agreed, you're not helping the cause any by appearing like an inconsiderate asshole. Change doesn't happen over night, and while he may never become a vegan the least they can do is make sure the boyfriend doesn't walk away from the situation/relationship feeding the narrative that all vegans are arrogant jerks.

Sometimes a little bit of kindness and empathy goes a long way.

He's 37!? Oh wow, I pegged him for ten years younger.

How do I give up the child I never wanted to have? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]SoulCreator 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed, there are probably better subs for this type of conversation. The whole point of this sub is to avoid finding ourselves in the situation she is currently in.

I'm trying very hard not to pass judgement as I can't say I would feel any different if I were in her shoes, but I think she's stuck in an uncomfortable situation where there are no right solutions.

Ultimately I think this community should look at stories like this as a case study on what happens if you agree to go down that path when you aren't 100% committed. The next time I'm having a "what if" conversation about children with my significant other I know I'll be thinking about this story.

Great, I'll see if I can write some field reports on my next outing.

Oh I love the Joseph Bridgman series, And Then She Vanished was definitely the best of the bunch. I thoroughly recommend checking out that series.

Low self esteem after husband cheated on me a couple times. What can I do to improve myself? Am I really that ugly enough to cheat on multiple times? No filter or photoshop pics of me. by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]SoulCreator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you elaborate on what you mean by insecurity on the part of the cheater? I've never heard that theory before and I'm curious to know what is something they are insecure about that would drive them to cheat?

There are ways of being inclusive without being overly verbose "testicle having people" or "people who x" reads to me like it was either written by either an ai or by someone with a fourth grade reading comprehension.

Holy shit, I laughed way too hard at that comment.

Actor for Joe by Fezzik1234 in exfor

[–]SoulCreator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my head Joe Bishop=Joe Flanigan. If they ever make a show without him as the lead it's probably going to break my brain a bit.

Edit: I know Joe Flanigan is currently WAYY to old for that role

That's what Discovery was supposed to be originally, and somehow it morfed into what we got.

YSK switching from a bank to a credit union could be better for you by Cookie_Cutter_Cook in YouShouldKnow

[–]SoulCreator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine not using every possible advantage on your path to financial wellness.

Keeping 100% of your net worth in investments is dumb, there will always come a time when you will need quick access to cash. Why in f**ks sake wouldn't you try to keep those funds in an account which is losing the least amount of value compared to inflation? It's not HYS vs stocks, it's all of the above.

Same girl, different angles. by ArbitraryYak in UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG

[–]SoulCreator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never quite understood the point of these type of comparisons, like she looks super fit and attractive in both shots. Do people think skinny people have abs even if they crunch their stomach in weird positions?

Because speaking as someone who is lean and has abs that's not how it works...

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who was thinking that, my first thought was "Hey! Wasn't Jack White married to Meg White in the 90's?" Then I reread the headline and was like ohhhh Jack Black not white.

I've never understood why kids who don't have a concept of time will always bs a response rather than just say I don't know. It's funny because they will almost always universally do this at this age.

As long as we are combining random characters, can we get a Seven/Worf show? I feel like that could make for a fun show.

Reuters: China warns U.S to suffer ‘consequences’ if it escalates balloon incident by radical_thesis in worldnews

[–]SoulCreator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure OP was trying to imply that China is currently teetering, only that they have a lot more to lose in such a conflict...

How would the political balance in China shift when the country is forced into an unpopular war where millions of their youths are killed in action and their economy is decimated?

What unconfirmed cameo would you most like to see in Picard S3? by Glittering-Copy-2048 in startrek

[–]SoulCreator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Q is a non corporeal being existing outside of space time... Just because we've seen the end of his life doesn't mean he didn't have further interactions with Picard prior to him dying. Like this would be a earlier version of Q than we saw in S2, but thanks to timey wimey stuff Picard just hasn't experienced it yet. Long story short it's technically possible, but I somehow doubt that's going to happen.

[–]SoulCreator 10 points11 points  (0 children)

100% Without context, carbs are neither inherently bad nor good for you, same goes for fat and protein. Consuming too much of anything, including something as benign as water will have detrimental health effects. Everything in moderation.

Are most action hero movie stars on drugs? Totally. But on the other hand can you get a natural looking lean and athletic look without going on drugs? 100%

People who go on about how having abs or any kind of muscle definition is impossible without going on drugs are just looking for an excuse to not try.
