Psycho Society posted:I've heard of that one too. The Windup Girl is a pretty righteous near-future sci fi book, definitely worth picking up. The author, Paolo Bacigalupi has a few short stories you can check out online too to see if you like how he writes. If you like hosed up sci-fi there's The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect which is like a cross between Harlan Ellison and Peter Watts. It's not a bad read, but the guy writing it just seems like a creep and it is flat out gross in a lot of spots. At least when you think about the fact that someone wrote it and then thought it was cool enough to publish under their real name. I'm pretty sure I'm worse off for having read it.

Cry more that your lame periods of history got called out for being lame. easy way to determine if historical period is cool: The most advanced technology is rocks being used as clubs? muzzle loading pistols becoming obsolete in favor of more advanced designs? If the answer to either of these is yes, then the time period is cool. otherwise it's lame and so are you for liking lame historical periods.

But anyway it's like, well, no wonder there aren't women out there who bake cookies for people or express affection of any kind because that's suspicious and crazy. Much safer to go with the woman who doesn't seem to particularly like you... much safer bet... yeah I'll wait for Sarah to start thinking it might be ok to settle for me... she seems... mostly stable... that's similar to happiness...

Holy poo poo.

Why not sleep in the bed of the truck?? That's the perfect place to camp out. I guess it was raining? He huddled under his truck in the rain like a hermit crab

I dated a crazy person once for a decently long stretch of time. We both made each other crazier and it culminated in a lot of definitely very illegal things and I probably repressed a lot of that relationship because of how hosed up things got at the end. Crazy doesn't mix with crazy. You should have realized this by how much crap you've put up with trying to court spergs who look at life like its a Bioware RPG.

Pick posted:i just want closure. Well, through the lens of your storytelling, I can only theorize that you offered at a time that made no sense (to him), or it just came completely out of left field (to him), and he had absolutely no way to process or respond properly so he just shut down, pretended not to hear it, and hid.
