I read Ringworld recently for a book club and we all agreed it was actually that bad. You made the right choice.

The original, or the sequel where Niven put in a paedophile scene?

And orgy scenes with waaay too many details. Though that was just poo poo icing on the poo poo cake after the main character fucks a child and the book treats it as normal.

Well defending on where you live if you go clubbing on the weekends that can certainly add up to hundreds. This guy is just a nerd though.

Two drinks every night at a bar apparently. It's an amazing glimpse into what it's like to choose to live frugally vs. having to do so out of necessity.

Just for laughs, I looked up the rent on apartments near the skyscraper I work in. Somehow I don't think moving to a place that's six times more expensive would save me much money, even if it means I don't have to spend that thirty bucks a week to gas up the car.

But what about when you can forget about car insurance and upkeep? I mean if you live within walking distance of work you don't need to go anywhere else.

No, we'd just be Japan in that our massive consumer savings would plunge interest rates and we'd be stuck in a decades long slump.

Also the lack of drinking and fun would screw up our fertility rates.

It's basically how I live, except I bike or bus to work, and my hobbies are biking and games, both fairly cheap. Also I work in an eastern european <300k town, not a multimillion metropolis.

Still, if everyone that can afford to buy anything beyond the basics started actually practising frugality like that, the global financial markets would get turbo hosed.

ELECTRONIC OLD MEN RUNNING THE WORLD
Someone I went to school with has been quiet on the xenophobia front for a while but here's a new one

quote:

A MESSAGE TO THE UK GOVT
I bought a bird feeder. And I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week I had hundreds of bird taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poo poo. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table, everywhere!
Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds boisterous and loud. sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be, quiet and serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now let's see. The UK gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care and free education, Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly your taxes went up to pay for free services; Small flats were now housing 5 families;
You have to wait approx 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; Your child's primary grade class is behind other schools because over half the class does not speak your language. Squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties. Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for your government to take down the bird feeder.
If you agree, pass it on; if not, just continue cleaning up the poo poo!

Overcrowding breeds criminality.. fact

Immigrants: literally animals. Great.
I grew up in the place he still lives. 98.4% of the population were born in the British Isles.

It's also clearly a copy paste from an American with a few words changed but not all of them "primary grade class" and "emergency room" stick out.

It's a major plot point in a couple of the books. The male-dominated, patriarchal kzinti deliberately bred themselves that way - it was nothing natural and involved genetic engineering. It's never portrayed as anything but one more way the Kzinti are deeply hosed up.

People do this weirdness on my Dad's facebook every time he posts something. My Dad was in the USAF for 20+ years, and is a vet of 2 wars. He loving hated it. Did it to pay the bills and because he was "supposed" to because we're a Military Family. Every time someone does that poo poo he gets angry but he won't do anything because he knows they need him to be a hero more than he needs to say something to em about actual respect.

gently caress people who do this. gently caress em straight to a fiery afterlife.

E: :smith: I mentioned to my dad that I posted this and he sent back "I was a teacher for 21 years. My friends never congratulate me on that. I was proud to be a teacher."

Oh I get it now he's really into libertarian philosophy all of a sudden. That explains his novel-length rant about tampons I guess.





His latest Facebook post, without comment, is a 2014 Libertarian State of the Union video by the Cato Institute about privacy and surveillance.
