Lmao Fat Rick is as mentally non-functional as child molesting dog fucker Thomas Jay Wasserberg, who similarly thinks the fact that he's harassed the police so often they assigned him a tard wrangler means he's some kind of VIP.God knows the real ones certainly won't. When cops have some idiot who won't stop bothering them trying to get them to arrest people, usually because said idiot is also crazy, they'll assign them an officer of their very own who will politely listen to all their nonsense and do nothing. No doubt Pat has already been crankfiled, and thinks that having a "special contact" at the FBI shows how important he is and how seriously the FBI is taking the countless non-actionable drunken reports he keeps sending them from his barstool.
There was absolutely no reason for the trans crab to be 'out' in that scene. It didn't even make sense for it to be concerned about being 'out' because a) this is a universe full of diverse aliens with all sorts of weird physical & behavioral differences. No one is going to care about one crab being different because it has no significance to anyone, b) there wasn't one instance anywhere in the book of the crab experiencing discrimination from anyone, so there was no reason to expect discrimination now, and c) they were already publicly out and accepted by their inner circle. Coming out to strangers had no personal stakes at all. It also had no bearing whatsoever on the rest of the mission. We don't even see the crab in any social situations during the heist, so it means nothing.That plot summary disgusts me. I'm a fan of heist novels and I care about their details. Fatrick clearly doesn't know how to write a heist, because he's too stupid to think it through.
My personal gold standard for heist fiction is the Parker novels, by the late Donald Westlake (using the pen name "Richard Stark"), a master of the craft. Parker is a relentless, skilled heist planner, and when I think how he'd pull this off, I actually get kind of sore at Fatrick, absurd as that is.
Get everyone you can off of the ship? Simulate a condition that requires the crew to evacuate anyone not essential. An actual fire is too risky, but maybe a simulated computer attack that appears to put the ship at risk. Something, anyway, that makes the passengers unwilling or unable to stay, but does not put the heisters at risk.
The trans crab? Ridiculous. Unless you need a diversion for a specific purpose, you don't want to attract that kind of attention. Is such a reason specified in the book?
The other objections raised by @ShinyStar are also spot on. And they're just common sense.
Desecrating meme-driven sci-fi is no big deal to me. That subgenre is cat shit wrapped in dog shit. But leave my heists alone, fucking Fatrick.
The $130kish lolsuit was to try to get the identities of anonymous forum goers. That was money was believed, and I think confirmed, to be from a professional authors' organization Rick is a member of. Rick has only spent $10k of his wife's money, that we know of, to recover his twitter account when it's been banned. It's been $5k on two separate occasions.Is his lawyer Parag Agrawal in a fake mustache? Someone has to be milking this guy if he's willing to drop 150k to unban a social media account repeatedly.
What is it with Twitter spergs and not realising Putin had already invaded Ukraine years before Trump took office? Are the Crimeans supposed to just shut up and get fucked?Pat is actually blaming Trump for the current Ukraine situation:
That's not bad. Really, anything but a mysterious losing (or winning!) epidemic makes more sense. Do you think a major, well-funded casino hasn't dealt with this kind of thing before? They're used to spotting cheats. They don't become harder to spot when their effects become more widespread.There was absolutely no reason for the trans crab to be 'out' in that scene.

Fat didn't do the simulated disaster thing on the weak grounds that if there was an emergency, then people would panic and somebody would die being trampled by the crowds leaving the ship. That's kinda weak reasoning, but there's a perfectly straight-forward, safe, non-lethal way to get everyone off the ship that didn't involve illegal and risky computer hacking - make it stink. Nobody, especially rich people who expect to never encounter anything unpleasant, is going to stick around while things smell badly. There might be some aliens whose smell preferences vary - but the same argument could be made for aliens whose gambling preferences vary and Fat didn't care at all about that. Whichever straggler aliens didn't voluntarily exit because of the bad smell could later be cleared along with the remaining staff by having a more severe fake malfunction, like a reactor problem or something and because the vast bulk of people already left voluntarily, then it obviates the risk of people being hurt by crowds reacting in panic. Fat just isn't smart enough to pull off a heist. He's very much a mid-wit, and his inability to take criticism prevents him from overcoming that weakness.
You know what, Andrew is alright.At 5'11" and 200lbs, Andrew is a little chunky, but he has significantly fewer chins than Pat, much nicer hair, and appears to be a relatively attractive male. He also gave a 50% tip, which shows his classy behavior towards waitstaff. Andrew may or may not be the legit identity of the person who visited Hooligans, but I'd chose him over Pat for a drinking buddy any day of the week.
This is a victory for us all. Patrick's delusional Twitter antics are my favorite recent discovery on the Farms. Whenever he finally crosses the finish line, I want to be ringing a cowbell to cheer him on.Piggy takes his victory lap. For those who are angry, don't be. Pat filed his lawsuit because of his last ban. Hopefully he'll file another one and burn through another $150k. Twitter really is his precious, it is the source of all his misery.
I don't know about you, but if @ShinyStar somehow feels like not enough self punishment has happened, I could totally go for a Tomlinson v Chipman compare and contrast literary criticism threadThat plot summary disgusts me.

I have heard reports that the Ukraine government is more or less comprised of neon nazis and takes the opposition as political prisoners. I really hope this is true, because now Patrick is full throatedly supporting jack booted, goose stepping nazisPat is actually blaming Trump for the current Ukraine situation:

This is why he paid thousands of dollars to get his twitter back. For retarded political takes like these:

Putin's been doing shit in the Donbas region since 2014, but it's Trump fault for the incident that happened well after he left office.What is it with Twitter spergs and not realising Putin had already invaded Ukraine years before Trump took office? Are the Crimeans supposed to just shut up and get fucked?
Chipman? Like Movie Bob Chipman? You like waving red things in front of bulls, don't you?I don't know about you, but if @ShinyStar somehow feels like not enough self punishment has happened, I could totally go for a Tomlinson v Chipman compare and contrast literary criticism thread

What other lolcows have published works? There's Onision, Wogglebug lover, who am I missing?
