mawhrin

this modern example of censorship is pretty wild: uk actively enforces this ban despite the fact the sdlp mp for foyle, colum eastwood, used his parlliamentary privilege to get cleary's name into hansard, and at the time i still had a twitter account, the tweets naming the bastard were either reported or sweeped by some internal search. you won't see cleary's name mentioned on reddit either.

tbh i used mawhrin-skel just because i needed a new drone, and twitter (at the time) bonked my skaffen-amtiskaw persona – i named the murdering british soldier that cannot be named in the united kingdom (david james cleary); i definitely value other culture books more than player of games. :-)

i would think they didn't read it carefully, and/or until the end, and don't realise that ultimately it's gurgeh's revulsion at azad's societal rules, and him fully embracing the culture's values, that allows him to win and burn the empire to pieces.

yeah, pretending that this is just a misunderstanding of the language is a bit disingenuous, but i'm not going to argue with the results.

this:

i'm amazed that you folks come here from your own will and just type these inane sentences expecting… what? praise?

it would help if you could state your position more clearly. (in case of caryn marjorie, it was clearly not what she wanted, which should be enough, and that before we even consider the ethics issues built-in into the technology.)

i gues we're all living in the post-scarcity utopia then, because otherwise such growth would exhaust resources.

logarythmically… what?

you do not have much medical knowledge, do you?

jfc. i remembered that the aurini motherfucker was very liberal with hard-r, but listening to that clip in 2024 is something else altogether.

at one of the places i worked this kind of data was called assnumbers.
