Exactly. Promote it as community outreach, it's more useful than feel-good Pictures at dog shelters.

Stranger has a point where you can feel in your body the whiplash of the change in tone. After the middle point Heinlein was blocked for years, and when he continued the result was grotesque.

When you start reading dialog about what happens in Heaven, when the story started as proper sf, you know that the author lost the plot (literally and figuratively).

Solid choices.

Your "best of sf" doesn't include many recognized classics. That's weird. No LeGuin, no Bester?

Well, when I'm not wanted I tend to burn bridges.

Does Hynek's article convince you?

According to Ridley Scott. P. K. Dick disagreed.

So you advocate for the abolition of money also?

I thought the idea was that the answers were to be provided by others. After all, the community is called AskLemmy, not Soapbox.

Like banks and insurance companies?

 

When I open a post with a monochrome image, the full image appears reversed.

Scenario (steps to reproduce)

  1. Open a post with a monochrome image. E.g. https://lemmy.ca/post/4205892 . Preview appears OK

  2. Open the picture. It shows briefly as-is and then it reverses itself.
