Patrick Sean Tomlinson / @stealthygeek / "Torque Wheeler" / @RealAutomanic / Kempesh / Padawan v2.5 - "Conservative" sci-fi author with TDS, armed "drunk with anger management issues" and terminated parental rights, actual tough guy, obese, paid Quasi, paid thousands to be repeatedly unbanned from Twitter

Backpfeifengesicht. If there's one reason to think the Germans are the master race, it is that they have a word for literally everything, and it's nice to be able to say "a face in need of a bitch-slapping" in a single word.

Thank you. This is now a part of my vocabulary.

Funny the things you learn on the farms.

There's even songs about it and this one's from a popular band from back in the day and the lyrics apply to Fat Rick who is fat.

It would be a shame if a bunch of Twitter users happened to report Pat’s tweets than mention guns and civil war and then he lost his account.

I’m conflicted on this. On the one hand the knowledge that Fatrick is crying and seething at home after his account is banned is hilarious. On the other, I don’t get to see his unhinged behavior and bizarre, effeminate writing style.

Also, who would the lizard king consult with now that his kingdom is under threat?

He evades his bans harder than Tranthony. You’d still get to see his chimpouts but he loses his followers.

Literally anything. Go to the discount bin at the seediest used book store you can find and grab any random thing you see and it will be better than Rick's.

Also tho PKD PKD and more PKD and Harlan Ellison and old dudes like Olaf Stapledon and William Gibson and, frankly, mostly dead people.

H. Beam Piper's Paratime stories and book were fun adventure stories, if less known than the Fuzzy books. Unexpected that a guy who suicided would write with such an optimistic vision

Getting pig's Twitter banned is a bit of a lost cause. Us rascals have been reporting him constantly and nothing happens now. He clearly got some sort of special boy protection when he paid the lawyer to get his accounts back multiple times.

Him being on there is better anyway since he's endlessly tormented and is obesely incapable of not responding to everything.

I also heard he’s really fat. Pathetic if true.

Maybe Elon Musk secretly follows him and lols hard at his antics?

It would be the ultimate in Billionaire buying something obscenely expensive for their own personal amusement.

 

[John Andrews Stan]

Just want to point out that, in addition to having atrocious personal hygiene, Fat and Big Niki have a filthy home as well. First, Big Niki wearing visibly dirty clothes in LA. I wonder if she even washes that hoodie or those leggings between wears. I think they’re the only clothes that still fit her.



Second, Fat unashamedly sharing pictures of his dusty, crud-smeared table. I don’t even want to think about why this corpulent couple favors glass tabletops so much.

How bad? This bad:

View attachment 3260775

Because seizing and destroying enemy infrastructure to cripple their ability to keep fighting you isn't a thing. Not like the USAAF spent months bombing German fuel dumps and railroad yards or anything like that.

SciFi:
Early Heinlein. Starship Troopers, The Puppet Masters, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. Ignore Stranger in a Strange Land, it's fucking weird and it drags. The Number of the Beast is pure lazy shit and a prime example of why authors should be constantly critiqued so they don't get big headed about whatever weirdness they have knocking around in their minds-- in Heinlein's case, teenage girls and incest vibe shit.
Philip Jose Farmer. I mentioned Riverworld and World of Tiers, both worth reading. Be aware that while he was good at writing stories he was not good at ending them.
Frederick Pohl. Heechee series.
Ray Bradbury is much less science and more fantasy and horror in many aspects but a lot of his stuff is really good. Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes. His real strength was his short stories, though-- The Illustrated Man, R Is For Rocket and The October Country spring to mind-- stories like Kaleidoscope, The Long Rain, The Veldt, The City, Frost and Fire.
Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle collaborated on some really good stories. I've read some of Pournelle's stand alone stuff and I have to say I didn't care for it; never read Niven stand alone but I've heard it's good. They put out some very good stuff together though, as long as you remember to IGNORE ALL THE SEQUELS (except maybe The Gripping Hand).
Inferno-- Good. Escape From Hell-- Bad.
Legacy of Heorot-- Good. Beowulf's Children-- Very bad.
Mote In God's Eye-- Good (it has been declared by some to be the best scifi novel ever written; don't really buy that myself but it is good). The Gripping Hand was a much lesser offering IMO.
Some of their other stuff: Footfall is interesting and Lucifer's Hammer is extremely good.

A country with nuclear weapons and no shortage of nuclear waste, suitable for "dirty bombs" is going to seize a wasteland in order to dig out concrete encased nuclear waste to make weapons with.

That's so painfully retarded.

 

[IDanceonTrannyGraves]

I will vouch for Heinlein.

I read Ringworld by Larry Niven a few years ago and I really enjoyed it.

I like short stories so any collections from Harlan Ellison or Phillip K Dick are a good pick.

Alfred Bester also wrote two very famous sci fi novels - The Demolished Man and The Stars My Destination - which are worth checking out.

If you like good space opera, I would suggest the Legend of the Galactic Heroes novels which came out over the last two/three years. They are what the anime was based on.

The only dirty bombs Rick knows about are the ones he leaves in the Hooligans restroom.

 

[instythot]

I will vouch for Heinlein.

As previously touched on, it's good to stop reading Heinlein at a certain point. I did like Stanger a fair bit, and Number of the Beast is probably a good stopping point to avoid all the father / daughter stuff in his later work. Job is a good later novel if you can overlook that stuff popping up again near the end

 

[AprilRains]

The late John M. Ford is probably the science fiction author I recommend the most highly. Growing Up Weightless is a deep, affecting story of a boy coming of age on the moon. His two Star Trek novels are probably the only ones I've really liked in that universe.

Yeah, I tried to get into Number of the Beast and I couldn't. There comes a point with Heinlein when his "perfect women" trope becomes an unbearable meme.

I think we've seen this kind of thing before.

And of course, "But Doctor. . .I AM Pagliacci."

 

[Somerville Dan]

Patrick still appears to be stumped on Algebra 1 problems.

 

[AprilRains]

Patrick didn't even grok enough math to point out that the left edge of the two equations are cut off? That would have been an easy squelch and he didn't even see that?
