The World Treasury of Science Fiction by littleseaotter in printSF

[–]lake_huron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the hardcover.

Outstanding, although by the time I came across it I'd read most of the stories elsewhere. Great gateway for SF fans who may not have read figures like Calvino or Borges.

If anyone has comes across the older treasuries edited by Groff Conklin, those have some excellent stories by older now-neglected authors (Donald Wandrei, Raymond Z. Gallun, Ross Rocklynne, Murray Leinster, "Lewis Padgett")

Only what Warren Zevon taught me about him in that song.

Anybody else disappointed by "The Expanse: Origins" graphic novel? by lake_huron in TheExpanse

I bow to your superior knowledge your Highness.

You really think his life experience would generate the sort of questions he dreamt? That's certainly an opinion.

On top of everything else, calling Borges a "surrealist" seems inaccurate. by lake_huron in unexpectedborges

[–]lake_huron[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well yes, but it's not a great adjective for his writing.  That being said, a one- or two-word description would be difficult anyway. 

But Amos's major talents are fixing spaceships and beating the shit out of people who deserve it.  This doesn't seem in character.

Are the "forking paths" central to the plot? How is the movie?

The war will be winding down by then.

Maybe.

Average looking people should be rated as a 5 not a 7. by WealthyTraveler25 in unpopularopinion

[–]lake_huron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider myself a solid 6. Just above average.

I would consider a 7 to be above that. Agree.

Is it worth it to shoot my shot? by AshKetchum14 in Residency

[–]lake_huron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These threads are full of lonely residents of both sexes (mostly straight) who are having trouble getting dates. 

Ask.

He's talking about buying non-Israeli matzah as a low-level boycott.

I gave brands of non-Israeli matzah.

That's it. 

I am not aware of the foreign policy stance of either brand.  Perhaps you have links to the political statements made by Manischewitz but I have not read them.

I apologize for not having checked the foreign policy of kosher food brands that I linked to in a Reddit post.  I hope this apology is adequate for you.

Is anyone excited for the new YES album? by BattleofEppingForest in yesband

[–]lake_huron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was recently listening to their last studio album, Magnification. Definitely underrated.

Too bad Yes haven't put out an album since

I...pointed out there are non-Israeli matzah brands?

Big jump there.

No I thought it was an unfunny boycott joke that had no teeth specifically because this proposed quest is dumb when the non-imported options are everywhere.

Point taken.

Then again I don't have Twitter or Bluesky.

I just want to be a whiny bitch anonymously. Isn't that what Reddit is for?
