Canadians overwhelmingly oppose becoming 51st U.S. state: poll
-
Which state is that?
All of them I believe.
-
Americans also overwhelmingly oppose Canada becoming 51st state
I miss boring liberal America where our absurd bullshit was just ours and not leaking out into the world.
-
Yeah... These headlines are always so optimistic (probably because our media is owned by americans)
"Overwhelming support for canada. Nothing to see here folks!"
Uhhhh... 1/5 canadians are literal traitors to the nation. Stand on guard against these morons. Elbows up.
Polls generally are complete garbage.
If I become Supreme Leader of the US (it seems a lot more probable than it used to) I will make public polls illegal. If you want to poll people you need to do it in the privacy of your own home with the curtains drawn.

Sovereign country not keen on being annexed by psycho neighbour, more news at 6.
-
Can we stop posting this headline? Again and again and again?
It's not news.
If a sizable portion of the population did want to do something stupid, that'd be news.
This is... It's not even propaganda. It's just a waste of our limited time and emotional capacity for idiocy.
We should poll how many americans are willing for their state to be the 11th canadian province.

Hell. Don't take the whole thing. Just move the boarder to the 45th parallel as opposed to the 49th.
45 and flight?

These articles and polls, framing trump's deranged russo-imposed plans as a legit proposal, do not help at all.
They just normalize this fucking insane shit
-
Surprised its only 78% that oppose. What the hell are the 22% smoking?

Sure, I guess it depends on your style preferences... I prefer science fiction, so can't remember much about the sword and sorcery novels, but they're readable, and like anything Delaney does, underpinned with exploration of the power of words, ideas, power, desire.
Stay away from Dhalgren.
Nova is probably the most space opera novel with a standard structure. Good starting place.
Babel-17 is intense and weird and fairly short, about language as a weapon. Sometimes you find a copy doubled up with Empire Star which has a plot and structure that loops back on itself.
Probably my favourite is Stars in my Pocket Like Grains of Sand which is probably the most alien yet approachable family portrayal in SF. Sadly it's the first half of a duology that didn't get finished, probably because it stands alone really well.
The short story collections vary but are mostly wins for any reader.
I forgot to mention that yes, it was definitely Dhalgren.
Anyhow, yes to SciFi. Space Opera sounds most suitable to me, so that's where I'll start.
Thanks!
