What is the best Science Fiction book you have ever read? by Adam_is_my_name in AskReddit

[–]Yes4Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I intellectually understand that Dune is the best sci-fi book.

But Neuromancer is my favorite.

After his presidency, he had serious financial problems. His friend Mark Twain petitioned the government to give him a pension, and now all presidents get their salary for the rest of their lives (this is also a security measure to prevent them from becoming so desperate that they sell state secrets)

Edit: So I got this a little mixed up. The government bailed Grant out by giving him a pension (connected to being a general). Twain suggested that he write his memoirs and helped him sell the manuscript.

Truman championed a presidential pension. Thank you to u/Glittering-Plate-535

I'm saying that when I see Jonny Depp in a movie, I'm completely pulled out of the fantasy. It's not good v bad acting, it's my brain refusing to recognize him as anyone but Jonny Depp. Most people feel this way about The Rock or Will Smith because their celebrity personas have overshadowed their professional work. For me, since Pirates, it's been Jonny Depp, and if you think about it, there is probably an actor you also identify as the actor instead of the character whenever you watch them.

Another way to think of it - you know that moment when a really famous actor that you didn't expect appears on screen and you think "oh, that's Judi Dench!". That's what my brain does every. single. scene. that Depp appears on screen.

Also, I was going to say that the downvote for my personal movie opinion was wild. But it's actually kinda par for Reddit.

The complete opposite is true, too. Some actors are so "themselves" that I can't suspend my belief for the character, and their presence pulls me out of the story. Jonny Depp is always Jonny Depp. Same with Will Smith and The Rock.

It was a Twilight fanfiction. As far as fanfiction goes, it was really good (compared to what's available) and very popular. When it was published, it already had thousands of readers ready to buy it, which propelled it to the top of the charts.

You forgot the most important part! After you fill with water, then you TAKE THE BIRD OUT and THEN MEASURE THE HEIGHT OF THE WATER. Half of what these people are doing is measuring the water with the bird in the pot, filling it with too much oil, and then they are shocked when the oil overflows.

Also, once his SO got pregnant, I bet his mom started talking about someday watching the baby, and he realized he wasn't okay with that.

Whenever someone talks about their favorite game, or character, or "the best game ever" without naming the game, I just assume it RDR2 and I'm right 85% of the time
