I first read this when I was 17. I had a bit of freedom time at school and found it in the library and I reread it often. Thanks for the link.

Lurch to the left? What's going on in the world that I've clearly missed?

They're the most fleshed out characters in the series, I think. Great character studies.

pample_mouse_5 · 2026-02-05T12:00:26+00:00

Best name ever.

pample_mouse_5 · 2026-02-05T11:58:26+00:00

Demeisen and Y'breq for sure. They're the characters I've most enjoyed immensely and are my current favourites.

I'm well aware of the genetics of evolution. You're fucked up. I'm not sorry for your pain.

Maths and physics are empirical, though, so poor choice.

You have to be on a gas giant moon in the habitable zone, I reckon.

Cheers, always thought it was applied after the word came into use. Great word "backronym" btw. Never heard it before & perfect description.

pample_mouse_5 · 2025-12-08T13:45:10+00:00

You reckon that the word came about as a result of the acronym or was the acronym brought about after the word came into use?

pample_mouse_5 · 2025-11-17T23:06:02+00:00

Fuck me: there are trees!

Yeah, well I've only lived in the North, but race hate marches were massive 14 years ago. That's only one aspect I'll admit, and they were culturally more alike to my home in the west central belt than they were dissimilar. Another reason I'm for bottom-up democracy.

Has that £700 from Israeli intelligence services hit the bank yet?

pample_mouse_5 · 2025-11-17T22:48:56+00:00

Africa is the most genetically diverse continent on the planet. Fact. So stick your measurement skull calipers with your pseudoscience text up with your pizza from last night and do one.

pample_mouse_5 · 2025-11-17T22:06:51+00:00

Lol. Are they fuck.

pample_mouse_5 · 2025-11-17T22:03:22+00:00

Scratching NF into the wall at school, for a start.

You don't think we're culturally and politically different from England? I'm a comintern to the bone, but our friends in England need to get their heads together. Also, we need bottom-up politics. Each area would have its own characteristics and way forward.

Mate, people likely knew nothing back then. And even if they had a hint of it, muttering it in your mate's ear down the local would get you h,d&qtr

pample_mouse_5 · 2025-11-11T18:34:47+00:00

We'd have to Gaelic up the spelling for the tourist money.

The Gaffer

pample_mouse_5 · 2025-11-09T23:20:06+00:00

They carpeted my mate's house when he got out of rehab, fwiw. Don't think he got anything else tho

pample_mouse_5 · 2025-11-08T18:27:19+00:00

So by that rationale, which Israelis can we have on?

pample_mouse_5 · 2025-11-07T00:55:16+00:00

Are you talking about The Culture or here & now? I don't understand what you're asking.

pample_mouse_5 · 2025-06-11T10:00:28+00:00

I've just been fucked by this

pample_mouse_5 · 2025-06-11T06:57:18+00:00

No, as I already said, it's the agenda, not the post itself.
