The thing is that if you don’t like it, you can modify it. If it’s better, the people you play with will be cool too.

Librarian here. One of the reasons librarianship was dominated by women was bc Dewey convinced people they could pay them less. Also, he likes to use his power to form sexual relationships. The subject headings that his decimal system uses are still problematic to this day.

Heavenly Tyrant, the 2nd book in the Iron Widow series by Xiran Jay Zhou.

I stumbled onto it randomly but it has all the things I love. It’s sci-fi with fantasy elements, anti-imperialism, and pro worker class warfare.

The protagonist is a teen girl who is flawed but strong-willed. She doesn’t have all the right answers, she makes mistakes, and there are certainly people better than her. She seems real.

There’s a kind of pacific rim meets starship troopers aspect to it. They use chi-powered “mechs” to fight alien invaders.

The first book has some surprise revelations at the end that the 2nd book addresses.

Nice to know that intent doesn’t play a factor.

I mean, they could have cherry-picked some dumb arguments but they fully made up insane shit for their opponents’ beliefs.

A functioning society takes care of everyone wherever they’re at. Don’t let people who’ve succumbed to propaganda pressure you into feeling guilty.

I could be wrong but it looks like a dual direction dash cam. Since it’s the internet, the text and pic might have never been related. Also, the person doing over 70 in a 50 couldn’t overtake at 20? The whole thing seems like rage bait.

Shoots to 100% when you describe procedures and don’t use the word abortion.

They probably also have moral qualms. We should get the Crime Scene Cleaner devs to do it instead.
