Over the last few years I've been going back and occasionally hitting some of the foundational works of sci-fi that I missed over the years

Last year I finished Dune for the first time and loved it. This weekend I read through Dune Messiah.

I knew going into it that most people think Dune Messiah... ain't great. And yeah, it ain't great. :smith: I enjoyed it but despite its short length I still felt it dragged. Now I sorta get what people mean when they say "just read the first book and forget everything else that comes after it."

Hayt/Duncan is a pretty cool character though!

That being said I've already queued up Children of Dune to come back to after I get a lighter non-Frank Herbert palate cleanser in between :shobon:

Much of it is people who spend their time in political bromeliad flowers accusing residents of other flowers of being cloistered in echo chambers out of fragility.

And then QCC regulars and people who don't post in any of the relevant boards stirring up poo poo because they enjoy the theater of it.

Basically a CSPAM thread got gassed because a mod accused them of raiding a DnD thread, which CSPAM denies, claiming that the posters in question also routinely post in DnD and that this is an excuse by the mod to flex on a forum he doesn’t like. No one has really been punished and the thread was restarted pretty quickly but people in CSPAM are angry because they believe the mod lied about the circumstances and ultimately the argument seems to be that having CSPAM as a subforum to DnD just isn’t working (although how this would be changed is contentious) and they need to have completely separate mods.

There’s a bit more but I think that’s the gist of it.

cspam generally agitates for changes in forum culture because it helps distract them from their powerlessness to positively change anything in real life, and if you don’t find anything funny about their inability to do even that then you are not a proper communist

The meat scam is hilarious. I had a couple of dudes roll up at my house while I was doing yard work in a clearly stolen van with the old logo badly spray painted over. It appeared to be a construction van. They had a household fridge inside plugged into an inverter that was sitting loose on top of the dog house with an extension cable. The first guy leaped out of the van and ran up to me like his hair was on fire and his rear end was catching. He yelled to his friend in the car to "show me the good steaks!"

His rap was great and he was very convincing but the fact that I make it a point to not buy stuff out of a running rape van made me decide not to buy. I told him and his buddy to keep up the good work and head out. He whipped a lovely with tires squealing and headed back down the hill from my house. All in all, it was a fun experience.

I know I've mentioned it before, but van meat is the best. I've never seen two shadier guys in my life when they came to my house. White shag carpet rape van, home freezer plugged into an inverter running up to the cigarette lighter. The driver kept the van running while he was trying to get me to buy 10 lbs of meat for $75, $55, $35 depending on his rap.

I told him not interested, but he had a great rap so keep up the good work. I shook his hand, and he peeled out before his buddy even got the door shut all the way, made a U turn, and hauled rear end down the hill again.

5 stars, would not buy again but would like to say hi.

Zodijackylite posted:

I'm able to understand the appeal of most of these scams - they appeal to some urge to win now, get the better of a situation, or misrepresent what they're selling. I honestly can't figure out what urge could possibly make people buy meat from a van. I thought the instincts which prevent us from eating spoiled food would be stronger than the ice-cream-truck urge, but I guess not?

If van meat is stolen, it's not refrigerated and has probably been down someone's pants. It's a couple bucks cheaper, I guess?

If van meat is from a "legitimate" seller, then what makes it more appealing than going to a supermarket? Perhaps the only understandable answer is that not everyone has a car or easy access to a supermarket, but the logistics of that still don't make sense when you think about handing over $100 to someone with a fridge in their van.

If van meat is cheaper, which I don't think it is, could it really be that much cheaper than a store with it on sale? Is it that much cheaper than the cost of refrigeration? This isn't stolen speakers of Chinese catalog stuff, it's meat.

Could van meat have a similar appeal to moonshine, because gently caress "the man" and you want it direct? I don't think so, because this product isn't romanticized. Buying venison from the back of a hunter's truck, maybe, but boxes of industrial-packed steak from a van is more like a long-shot knockoff from a bargain store than a jar of moonshine.

Even if someone does buy meat from a van on impulse, what would motivate someone to be a repeat buyer? I can wrap my head around Amway and Mary Kay tactics, payday loans, and stolen electronics, but what kind of broken mind or depraved lunacy motivates buying meat from a van?!?!

The place to litigate QCS is - get ready - QCS.

The only thread in PYF even close to appropriate for this digression is Greatest Sagas and that's not a courtroom, either, just a "would you look at that" sort of affair.

People read this thread to be clued into funny things from all over they may not have read. That's basically it.

I have purchased and eaten van meat without dying, but that was in half-suburban China, where a meat van might just be cleaner than a restaurant kitchen. Plus, I bought it from a Uyghur fellow, meaning it was also killed more humanely than any mainstream meat I could have bought at the fancy foreign grocery store.

10/10 would let that guy meat me again.

I'd say there's about a 90% chance the original Pissing in the Well posts were either about a relationship that was breaking apart or someone working on a car.
