Recent colonoscopy here, can confirm the "grown man worth of shit" estimation

I've read every Steven King book. They all have varying levels of depth, but they're all very well written and immersive. I think everyone here had a reasonable point about a lot of his endings turning out fast and dark.

You may not enjoy this if you like stories that feel like they come to a proper conclusion, but I think that's where he excels at making his stories feel dark. The endings are almost always NOT satisfying. They often hurt.

Another thing people don't like about him is that he's a period writer, so lots of his writing is filled with current events from the time when he wrote the book. This makes a lot of his older books feel really dated (like Tommyknockers). But it's good for me.

Also, like most people who have also commented, i recommend starting with his short stories, and his more popular works. They really are good.

ITT: disinformation influencers and bad faith shills, and a bunch of people not putting up with their shit

False dichotomy.

Since there's only 2 viable candidates, then one of them is going to win. Both of them support the genocide.

You are not conceding on genocide if you are going to pick the one you disagree with less, ethically and morally speaking, outside of that.

If you don't vote, or if you vote for a non-viable candidate, then you are conceding on all the other ethics and morals that you would otherwise agree with, just by not voting for the less bad but viable one, whoever you believe that is.

You are actively supporting all the negative things about the candidate you agree with least by not voting for one of the two primary candidates.

It sucks, but guess what... when you are stuck on a sinking boat, you can sit in angry defiance and complain all you want about how you don't support the way that your boat manufacturer supported genocide. Or you can pitch in and try to save the fucking people on the boat with you.

One of these behaviors could make someone look like a selfish asshole.

Unless you are introducing a viable candidate who is against the genocide, then there is no concession being made on genocide.

FOH with your false dichotomy.

ITT: Disinformation/influencer shills... take note.

Don't listen to people on the internet about political opinions

You are scientifically illiterate if you are asking questions that have easily discoverable answers (as in this example, centuries of confirmed results)

The burn from the thrusters doesn't push against space, it pushes against the rocket.

For more easily discoverable answers to basic physics questions, perhaps take a physics 101 course. Or just Google your question.

Or do it the way you just did it... Cunningham's law and all that. But be aware that people will consider you scientifically illiterate if you do it the way you just did it.
