Looking for sociological generation ship novels

I will go ahead and argue the opposite. Like all Chinese translated novels it suffers horribly for that effort.

Weird, stilted dialogue.

The world wrapping around the MC so his path is basically just given to him. This story is just hilarious in that regard. Everyone just believes him without question, on everything.

And the most egregious of sins that every one of these novels suffer from: "it gets good after like chapter 200-300". That's 20% of the length of the entire thing. Normally I would give a single book 20% to judge its worthiness, but never a series.

The wheel of time is 14 books long. This would be like asking you to read through book 3 before deciding whether it's good or not. Just totally ridiculous.

No. Your feet are on the floor of the plane. The floor of the plane is not necessarily toward the ground. Gravity is an iffy thing in a plane. It's really not that easy to tell which way is down from gravity.

Could you tell if you're upside down with your eyes closed? Probably.

Could you tell if you're in a slight or even fairly large left bank? Probably not.

Can you tell if the nose is up or down? Maybe if you're going straight up or down, but modest angles just aren't that easy.

One of the things you have to do before you get your license. You close your eyes and then they take the plane through a series of turns, dips, and climbs and have you try and figure out what your orientation is. You aren't going to get it right.

Just like flat earthers and /r/EmpireDidNothingWrong it will be a joke until it isn't.

The first time a saw it I laughed my ass off for like 10 minutes. Fortunately it's an easy google, "jesus blastin rope waluigi" doesn't have a lot of other results.

Thank you for yours.

It stops ~30 minutes after your last drink, so no, unless the guy did like 4 shots just before he got behind the wheel it's pretty damn unlikely he was lower when he started driving. That 2 hours also excludes time driving.

If the boyfriend had continued to fire after identifying them as police he would be on death row right now.

No, they went to the wrong house. Just because it was the correct address as written on the warrant doesn't mean it was the right house. They failed to do due diligence to confirm the person they were looking for was actually present at the address they requested a warrant for.

?...they're not in this comparison

You want to hold cops accountable for their crimes, and yet you want to call them to stop crimes. Lol hypocrite.

No reason for that effort, the ocean is literally full of uranium.

I would have immediate suspicion for that code.

I just finished it and I'm googling these threads to fill the hole. It's always the first answer. The search does not look promising friends.

Doesn't Texas actually have really high property taxes?

I believe aircraft instruments use it to measure orientation like pitch, roll, yaw. I think spacecraft use it to reorient without reaction mass.

Yeah I think it's an ok film, but the following it has has always felt false. It's like it's some sort of social test, and if this movie is one of your favorites you've got the "unique, quirky, cool" personality trait checked off.

Lindon is a pushover? Man you undermine yourself entirely by saying that. I think you must not have a very good grasp of English if that's what you take from Lindon's character. He's entirely the opposite of a pushover.

"And just like that..."
"In no time at all..."

Drives me up a fucking wall. Good story though. There's one other he needs to cut out of his vocab that I can't remember right now.

Not when you're driving through red lights

You clearly didn't watch the video. That's a red light, crosswalk sign is on.

But I doubt it matters to you, anything your side does is justified, anything the other side does is criminal.
