How is it possible that Twitter addicts Pat and MovieBob have never had a meeting of minds on X, the platform that Elon owns?
Well Fatrick claims to be a conservative so Blob would reflexively hate him, despite the fact that Rick is about as conservative as a pride parade.
That or Blob will think because Fat is one of the "good ones" it'll foster a newfound appreciation for republicans in Blob's twisted mind. "I guess they aren't all bad."
Bob is more interested in trying (and failing) to be a demagogue on politics while sperging hardcore about video games and capeshit.

Patty is more interested in no, childing and trying (and failing) to be an esteemed man of letters, while paying lipservice to capeshit.
If by "meeting of minds" you mean "tard fight" no, that will never happen. Fat Rick has his hands full with the funsters, while Robert is too much of a wimp to pick a fight with Rick. But Robert has rexeeted The Pig in the past. No idea if Pat returned the favor.

the fact Fat Rick lives in the midwest (and is therefore not a Coastal Elite of the Superior Future) would relegate him to anything between "mayonnaise ghoul" and "not a person" in Film Robert's eyes
 
i read the entire 'mission earth' series as a kid. my mom got me the first one having (i assume) no idea who hubbard was. the first couple were okay but they quickly devolved into a slog of just getting thru the rest to see what happened, since i couldn't just jump on wikipedia to read the synopsis of the rest. i don't recommend them aside from the 'so terrible they're okay' factor, but given a choice between reading that entire series over and any of Fat's 'works' i think i'd let other Kiwis take one for the team while i'd be taking mission earth to my desert island every day of the week and twice on sunday
It's a DECALOGY, this means there's ten books and you need to buy all ten books to see the AMAZING STORY unfold! Did we mention it's a DECALOGY??? Don't worry, we'll mention it again at the start and end of every book!

Speaking of which, the first third is a recap of the last book. The last section is a preview for the next book and then there's a small chunk of new pages. It was genius in stretching a story out to way more books than it needed to be and I got frustrated halfway through because it was so obviously greedy.

Good to know someone else out there suffered through that series too.
 
And the atrocity Travolta turned into that Battlefield Earth movie isn't even the worse thing Hubbard wrote.
That was actually reasonably good schlock. Typewriter in the Sky was probably his best and is actually unironically a solid book.
Point is, terraforming Venus ain't anything new in science-fiction: some people take the very technical, well-thought out approach and others just have fun with the idea and handwave it with Space Magic. Both are acceptable, provided its written well in a way that either makes sense or doesn't challenge ones suspension of disbelief too hard.
Proposing it seriously, though, borders on retarded. There are so many things to do that make more sense. If you're going to terraform something, obviously Mars is the choice unless some of Jupiter's or Saturn's moons display some really desireable qualities. My favorite is Europa, but you're still almost on the Venus level of contrived shit like floating cities or underwater domes in fairly hostile environments, in the case of Venus, insanely hostile.

Seriously, even hollowing out an asteroid, pressurizing it, and spinning it for "gravity" makes more sense.
How? He never had the chance to meet Patrick.
What do you think was his inspiration for Harkonnen?
Bottom line terraforming ANY planet would take a looooong time, a shit ton of energy, and some technology that we dont really have yet, but venus is actually one of the better choices.
Terraforming itself (at least in the short term) is a goofy idea. Instead of trying to change the entire planet, it makes a lot more sense to make some small part of it inhabitable just to have a beachhead there, and then work on it at a slow, plodding pace while moving more people there.

Treat it like how the Brits treated Australia. They'll eventually colonize it.
 
Pat will soon no longer be able to hide his blue checkmark:

I've said this elsewhere, but I think it's more fun when you learn a lolcow is secretly hiding their checkmark after spending so long bitching about Elon and paid checkmarks.that it would be to just see it, you know? If anything, Elon should simply charge an additional fee to hide your checkmark, so it forces people like Pat to pony up even more to the man they love to hate.

I never thought I'd be for a microtransaction.

Nah, this is much funnier IMO. He can either stand revealed as a man who bought a checkmark after months of claiming he never would, or he can drop the thing and be defenseless before his enemies. Narcissistic blow either way.
 
Given that Pat is sorta kinda right on this one, Im just gonna assume that he stole the idea from someone else. Issac Arthur did a video about this years ago that was pretty good.

Marsforming humans is a cheaper and better solution.

No, child, I didn't pay for a fauxtick, I was gifted it by someone meaning well because I'm important, and you cannot say no to a gifted Twitter Blue

(I forget if that's a thing but I recall Pat being in the replies of some famous actor/celebrity who was shouting they didn't want their blue checkmark but Elon gifted it to them and it wasn't a special like brand/news one, so I'm assuming normal people can also send it)
