I REALLY hope that doesn’t happen. Our species is a fucking horror show of wars and bigotry. We should end when we kill our planet.
Prolonging this suffering isn’t going to make humans a nicer creature, the authoritarianism, greed and corruptability is hardwired in. Can you imagine the sheer scale of fucking misery if humans filled other resource rich planets up with people?

Humanity isn’t going to make it out of the century.
Or just do it anyway ala Orphan Black.
What’s the top one?
I asked a question to better identify who this person was. You’re being very emotional, are you ok? This can’t just be about my getting comedians confused.
Or are all George Carlin fans just like this?
No, I’m just not from the usa. I only hear about this person in comments like here.
Ah ok. This era of white american male comedian is hard to tell apart.
This is the guy who would wank in front of women while offering them writing work?
Yeah but the Borg would be breaking into houses to force convert folk.
Then again those xtian door knocking religions are often very fond of ‘mission trips’ to forcibly convert folk for the cost of the ‘humanitarian aid’ they provide, which isn’t unlike the Borg at all.
People mostly suck, life is much nicer without involving them.
Cool photo, congrats!
Oh wow, Pacha as Riker is surprisingly hot. I was not expecting that.
Pretty picture @Stamets, congrats!
The first 2 books, ‘Doughnut’, and ‘When It’s A Jar’, I would normally recommend over ‘The Out-sorcerer’s Apprentice’, they’re more scifi slanted and imo tightly written.
The fundamental technology tying the books together is re-explained in book 3 though and you can figure stuff out without having read books 1 & 2, but it’s probably not going to be quite as funny without all that pained context and layers of multidimensional headfuckery.

Maybe to stop it damaging any trace amounts of paint left on the statues?
That paragraph above reminds me most of The Out-sorcerer’s Apprentice. Where to quote from the wikipedia page
‘a fairy tale universe is exploited economically’.
He’s written like 40 books
and they’re all pretty good fun (the fantasy stuff at least, his historical fiction wasn’t my jam), not high literature or anything though, just nerdy, silly humour with some fun clever bits.
If you find this entertaining, you’d enjoy Tom Holt books. This is basically his whole style.
Every so often you just have to fill yourself up with pizza till reality stops hurting. Pies can’t cure you but the food coma certainly helps blunt the pain for a few hours.
It’s going to be slavery and strip mining on a scale that’s unimaginable.
And trillionaire capitalists won’t need to worry about ““human rights”” on their colonies, those are barely enforced on earth now as it is. Endless generations of slaves will never know any other life. That will be the human legacy if we colonise space.
