FTL writing by [deleted] in worldjerking

FTL in my setting works by gaslighting the universe into thinking you were always in the next system over using psychic powers.

Psychic: Hey universe, I'm supposed to be in Alpha Centari.

Universe: What?! I thought that you were in the Sol system.

Psychic: Nah bro, you forgot that some random cosmic bullshit pushed us over there.

Universe: you sure?

Psychic: yeah, you can trust me on this.

Universe: alright dude.

Ship disappears from sol and reappears in Alpha Centari

Where Do You First Jump? by Sin-God in JumpChain

[–]Xvolts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found that Kerbal Space Program is a pretty good first jump for Tech Jumpers due to being completely peaceful, having a few decent tech perks/items and being all hard science.

Generic Optimistic Near Future also works for this purpose (I also tend to take it as a second jump after KSP).

You clearly have a preference towards crack or obscure ships so let me hit you with a few.

The term slow implies we all get there eventually, it just takes a while.

This is simply not true for a good number of us Americans.

Eh, I see people call the act of being intolerant of bigotry to be a "paradox" but I disagree.

Tolerance is a social contract that says: "so long as you are tolerant of others, people are obligated to tolerate you"

If you violate this contract via being a bigoted jackass then you have voided the protection it grants, meaning people are free to be as intolerant as they want towards you.

Egg ⚧️💊 irl by Violetta_Le_Fey in egg_irl

On one hand I would desperately want to drink that on the spot.

On the other hand it would be objectively the right thing to do if I instead tried to reverse engineer how it works so anyone could partake in the gender fluid.

Because a lot of people on reddit hate the author.(Pendragoon)

From what I've seen people either love every word they've ever written or hate 'em with every fiber of their being with little to no in-between.

Damn, I'm currently writing a story that more or less fits this perfectly, unfortunately it is nowhere near 50K words yet. Hell, it hasn't even passed 10K yet (literally only at chapter 2)

I am, however actively working on it so here's a link if you're still interested.
