Interesting! What part of the world do you live in, if you don’t mind me asking?
There is no doubt the ruthless leaders of Hamas are willing to starve the residents of Gaza to death for the sake of the annihilation of Israel and the Jewish people.
That’s not who is stopping aid trucks from entering, killing medics, and killing humanitarian aid workers. She’s refusing to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes.
Been a long time since I read it too but basically you had to do federal service and military was the most popular branch of that. But the book is mostly interested in military and high up characters talk about their military background etc. It’s definitely fascist.
Yeah I found it boring as well. But yeah that would explain it!
Only ex military caste have power because they are the only people who can vote or hold public office.
There’s this respected teacher guy in it who goes on about how violence solves everything, hero’s main trajectory is for him to become really on board with that setup. Bunch of capital punishment, whipping etc.
50 Shades of Grey.
The film is silly and mediocre but the book is next level terrible.
Probably because Starship Troopers isn’t PKD. It’s Heinlein.
Kind of funny to imagine what it would have been like if it had been written by PKD. Johny Rico would have spent 1/3 of the book going through a divorce and the troopers would have all been on halucinogens.
No but I think it’s okay for mods to have some guidelunes and this submission breaks them.
People are supoosed to post news articles with an excerpt. Not some kind of semi literate editorial of their personal opinion.
Assange is not an American citizen.
These days it’s a public issue in Australia that their ally the US is doing this instead of handing him to them. It makes their politicians look weak.
So there’s political pressure on Biden from Australia on this.
I think it might depend on the level of formality; pretty sure in very formal British ettiquette it goes clockwise from the person to the right of the host.
I don’t really understand how they would be able to know the age of everyone like @Waker describes though.
The rounding up would make sense.
I don’t think I have paid cash in a restaurant here in this century. In this part of the world the debit card system took hold quite early.
Bound to be, science history has many of these figures.
What a fascinating guy! He really was ahead of the curve. A pity his contemporaries repressed him so much.
Definity not real and what they did is a crime.
We don’t have tipping culture but praising the meal to the waiter is considered polite at the end of the meal.
This only applies to the elderly generation but they tend to put “quite” at the start of any praise.
So, saying food is “quite good” is actually higher praise than “good”. But to people not from here it sounds like the opposite.
I get the feeling this person is probably talking about commercial surrogacy from a European perspective.
The reason why I think it wins is it becomes obvious Satan can have do-overs and he’s already falling for one of them. He hasn’t actually escaped, and Satan is still having fun at his expense.
