You know, whatever it takes to get people to act. Sometimes it'd something dumb that motivates prople.

I feel like everyone has had a bad experience with one of the major delivery services and just decides to shit on them. I've had packages busted by FedEx, usps, ups, that guy that drops off packages from his unmarked van. Like I get 97% of stuff okay, but 3% comes broken from them all.

My guess is he's using that statement to sidestep criticism of layoffs. I mean, is it wrong to take the long view? No. Does that mean they had to lay off people and put them in a precarious situation? Maybe, maybe not. But the explanation that sounds palatable.

That's insane. It sounds like ebay must have a toxic culture to let that happen.

I'm trying to imagine what someone would use it for/want it for. It seems juat like more plastic crap for the landfill.

It's what I started using and now I'm stuck. Anyone know of any export tools?

You guys are all getting down voted and this misses out on the pure entertainment value of these comments

I would also add that the capitalist class loves to promote the idea if America as the greatest nation on earth because that storyline benefits them. They've already won the game and are benefiting from our current system. They don't want it to change.

If we admit we have shortcomings--large gap in wealth equality, lack of accessible and affordible health services, piss poor public transportation, unaffordable child care paired with living costs so large 2 incomes are required, poor school funding, pervasive gun violence, and Policing that emphasizes violence, just to name a few-- then we are also acknowedging that we have to change things. Why would those who greatly benefit from our current system want change?

Found this mildly interesting in a world of slick Conde Nast publications.

What defines dark fantasy?

Is it just elves that wear black or is there more to it? Maybe a mood or setting? Maybe it's an antihero thing? Im curious as to what it means and what some of the defining/seminal works of dark fantasy might be.

Inhuman Lovers by Chen Qian (clarkesworldmagazine.com)

Came across this really fun Chen Qian story that was the detective(s) looking for an android plot. The writing (and translation) makes the story really engaging and quippy with simple but satisfying world building.

I feel this follows a long line of similar story telling stemming from Asimov. I wonder how many great examples of stories like these are buried in all those old stacks of F&SF and Asimov mags out there.
