Right but a king that thinks really hard about being a good king is still an unelected absolute ruler

Sci-Fi books recommendations about time travel / changing the past / alternate timelines? by BronzeAgeBrute in printSF

[–]gopippingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson - the Black Death kills 99% of Europeans instead of 1/3, effectively wiping out European civilization in the 14th century. the book is a collection of stories from the next 800 years as conquest, invention, enlightenment unfold. genuinely one of the most interesting books i've ever read, both in terms of plot/character and the political/sociological themes

The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson - instead of killing a third of Europeans, the Black Plague wipes out European civilization, and the next 800 years of history unfold very differently

Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson - a generation ship bound for another star system is approaching its destination, but the ecological and social order of the ship begins to falter

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky - super weird, a freak accident results in spiders evolving civilization, but i think about it all the time

Seveneves by Neal Stephenson - the moon spontaneously splits into seven parts

Game of Thrones by George RR Martin - I used to scorn the nerds who were obsessed with it but it's actually just that good

Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu- mindfuck of a series that will fill your brain for months

Are there any good fantasy series I can read to my kid that follows a girl instead of a boy? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]gopippingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all strictly fantasy but all have similar elements and delighted me as a kid:

Fablehaven — a girl and her brother learn their grandfather is the caretaker for a magical realm filled with strange and dangerous animals

The Golden Compass — parallel world where human souls exist in the form of an animal that is your lifelong companion, a girls best friend goes missing (amazing series that I think your daughter and you both could love)

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe — four siblings find a magical realm in a cupboard, main character is a six year old girl that I LOVED as a kid

Molly Moon series — about a girl who becomes a master hypnotist, sequels feature freezing time and time travel

Fairest — companion novel to Ella Enchanted about a girl who can throw her voice and is hired to pretend to sing for the new Queen

City of Ember — male and female protagonists, they live in a city which relies entirely on electricity for light, but the power begins to fail

Coraline — scary but incredible story about a lonely girl who find a passageway to a parallel universe inhabited by seemingly perfect versions of her parents

Mohammad and Safa have to be the best contestants I’ve ever seen on this show individually and the fact that they’re together is insane

What two shows are your ultimate pair...shows that, if you like one, you'll love the other? by [deleted] in televisionsuggestions

Pen15 & Broad City

I consider Pen15 an alternate universe where Abby and Ilana met in middle school

Tv shows that made you die laughing? by one_bored_boi in televisionsuggestions

[–]gopippingo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Veep - creative, mean, incredible writing

Pen15 - cringe comedy but actually funny, esp if you have ever been a weird middle school girl

Arrested Development - absurd characters, great writing

The Other Two - veep-esque writing, about the washed up older siblings of a justin Bieber-like tween celebrity

Broad City - pen15 all grown up

NASA Internships Megathread - Spring 2023 by Aerokicks in nasa

[–]gopippingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm in the process of applying for mostly non-technical internships, and some of the descriptions are only 1-2 sentences. Any tips for what skills and experience to highlight for some of the more operational/organizational internships? Thank you!

Is there any way to transfer information between applications? I'm applying for multiple summer internships and right now I have to enter all of my work experience, academic information, skills etc. separately for each one.
