Girlbosses make their own coconuts, but they do not make them as they please; they do not make them under self-selected coconut trees, but under coconut trees existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead election cycles weighs like a nightmare on the hot button issues of the living.

Oh shit, that was him? Spaceballs was good.
I always hear about how funny this guy is, but I’m not familiar with any of his work. I always get him mixed up with Mel Gibson.
Sleepless One@lemmy.mlto askchapo@hexbear.net•What's with all the hate/push back against Hexbear ? (new user question)English48·1 day agothey have been doing a smear campaign about the “tankie troika” of Lemmy servers for a while now.
They weren’t even clever enough to use the word “troika”. They’ve been calling it the “Tankie Triad”.
Humans will be so different from life in space that they will be unable to communicate with it.
So glad that there are sci-fi authors out there who actually put some thought into just how alien aliens would be. Even in some really good sci-fi, the differences between humans and various alien species seems to be, at most, some distinctive biological differences and cultural differences that can be conceptualized relatively easily by humans.
I reckon that the universe is vast and unknown enough that “life” could arise such that humans wouldn’t be able to recognize or characterize it as life.

It was also what he named the cat in the short story The Rats in the Walls.

Sleepless One@lemmy.mlto chat@hexbear.net•Did anyone else hear growing up "Environmentalism is un-Christian because it's a form of Gaia worship (and therefore idolatry)"?English5·4 days agoThat evangelicals have created a god in their own image and proceeded to worship it.
Isn’t that the case with literally every god from every religion?
Sleepless One@lemmy.mlto games@hexbear.net•Sunday is Gaming Day: What Are You Playing Weekly ThreadEnglish15·4 days agoI’ve almost beaten Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines for the first time. I can see why it’s as revered as it is, because the game is excellent.
There’s one line of dialog that stuck in my head as being really dumb though. I was talking to the Anarchs early in the game while trying to get the lay of the land for vampire politics. One of them said “Communism always fails for humans, but it would totally work for vampires”. Gotta love media from the 2000s.
Don’t be ridiculous. The North Koreans aren’t allowed to stop working. The military police force citizens to work 24/7, and they don’t even get breaks to eat. The guards just attach feedbags full of dead rats and blades of grass to the workers’ faces so they can keep going.
