It's annoying because my mouse is really sensitive (yes I've reduced it to about what I have at home, but when I'm trying to do something quickly sometimes the wrong thing gets clicked), and the keyboard is a real keyboard and thus way larger than the one on the laptop I've used 24/7 for over a year. So, I type things wrong and get embarrassed that my co-analyst dude will think I can't type, which is so not true. So I say SORRY and backspace and get frazzled and go Jesus why am I freaking out about little things and saying sorry? The reason I want to work on it is because he constantly says "No, don't apologize" afterwards, and I would like to eliminate that from this general wordflow as well.

Be more Taylor Swiftesque. This goes for all of you, men and women. Its solid advice.

Scheck - my inlaws are in London. They are being such scrubs that they ate dinner in the concierge lounge of the hotel the last two nights. Tell me where they should eat. They like steak.

Wow, the first female line of dialogue in Foundation is on page 194. And it's the first female named character. I definitely did not notice that when I was 14.

are there really that many characters or much dialogue in foundation
I was recently introduced to the Foundation series via audiobook.
Yeah, there are at least a few male characters. Women are specifically mentioned as wives only in the first book. The first major female character in the series is very stereotypical, and is asked her fucking weight by another character, and of course does all the cooking. It's kind of depressing how sexist that series is, but I guess it can't help the era it was written in. Still I guess i'd have expected speculative fiction to speculate a little more equality? Maybe I hope for too much.

Yes? There are arguably too many characters: since it's jumping between worlds and centuries, you don't spend enough time to care about them all that much. And the book is mostly dialogue, it's not a hard sf book.

It's better in his later books, IIRC he basically admitted later that he hadn't talked much to women so he just didn't write them. I'd certainly take his benign neglect some of the truly bizarre shit I've seen reading compilations of sf short stories.

dogg let's be real a lot of your posts lately have been bloo-blooing about friends not wanting to invest in the same games as you
complete with complaining that because they have money they should be able to plunk down the money and it shouldn't be a thing
i mean i feel you, that can be annoying, but maybe not rip on someone for expressing some annoyance at a pretty legit problem
no, that is not what it is
cambiata whinges about everything and i consistently call her out
