Fuck, touche

Thanks for your take on this! So much better than “you should watch it” or whatever. I’m going to give it a shot just so I can have an honest opinion.

They made the MC white for some reason?

Yeah, if that’s the case I’m even more inclined to walk away.

you can short EFT’s but shorting the metal itself is a different thing. As an element that has real world uses the market drives t he value.

Humanoid didn’t roll up, that was just inside the game. The aliens weren’t humanoids

If that’s the case, that would A) have been explained in book 2 or 3 which I didn’t read, and/or B) conflict with clips I’ve seen from the show which showed thousands of them in a field waving flags just like from the book. Either way, it sounded stupid. Also, if they had interstellar spacecraft, why did they need post-revolutionary Chinese people to tell them “hey come here!!” before just leaving their fucked up system and find somewhere else to live?

I love you friend, but there is just so much wrong with 3 body problem.

LOL! totally agree about foundation. It was like he was so busy imagining the universe that he forgot to write a story. I Have been a big fan of the show though.

Well… I guess this explains how it’s anti-semitic to say it’s bad to kill Palestinians. What a world.

I can see that. I definitely gave it a huge benefit of the doubt, as it was the first post-revolution Chinese fiction-cum-political commentary I ever read. In retrospect I feel like the point of the book was the commentary and the story was just some kind of allegory that didn’t resonate as an American.

I’d be down with banning everyone from social media

i’d just be down for banning social media. Not sure how that would look though.

in 20 years Australia will be the source of all nobel prize winners :D

They’ve made it clear that “Hamas” = “Palestinian”. Including the children.

It was always “never again… to us.”

If the author totally doubles down on ludicrous, maybe it’s worth a go! I only barely got through the first book.

LOL until they tried to explain to me that humanoid people just randomly rolled up like parchment and got carried around until things cooled down a bit, I was like, “OK I’ll keep an open mind to this weird political story.” And then when they figured out logic gates but only with 5th century hoards with flags, I just mentally noped out. I did finish the first book but I had regrets.

Does getting rich just make people stupid?

As far as stadiums and buildings, the owners take money from companies to name them. Lots of money. It’s called paying for naming rights, and the contracts usually have set terms, like the company has to pay X amount per year to keep the naming rights.

And when he finally did get laid he got syphilis. Loser.

I thought the movie was kinda fun. Never read the book though.

Wait, is this real? Fuck sake that’s bad.

Don’t make me box your ear!
