Having Lolita as your favorite book is odd but can be defensible, describing it as a "love story" is something fucking else. It's like calling "The Little Matchstick Girl" an "entrepreneurship story".

It's literally the question you fucking asked
sister
Kenshi is pretty cool
It's funny that they still have the "essential NPCs are unkillable" issue even with the multiverse duplicating characters
"The US and allies have been attacked in the region 130 times" etc
Sure wonder how many of those were the US getting attacked and how many were -- just to throw out an example -- Israel, but we're going to frame it like this to try to sneak around the notice of those people who see Israel getting attacked and rightly think the attacked might have a point.
It's wild how the fucking Saudis are now doves on the subject of bombing Yemen compared to Genocide Joe
lol the game is just an endless pit of suck
It could be operating off of cookies or something. Let me tell you, I've looked at incognito Youtube many times (to bypass a sitewide block I myself put on because I'm stupid) and it has a lot of ViRAl stuff, but also a really clear right slant. This probably wasn't the only stuff the friend saw, but I'd be very willing to believe that it was like a fifth along with more innocuous viral-marketing bullshit. Sooner a thousand Shapiros than a single account left of Nancy Pelosi.
You see, even if they were a PhD in astrophysics, they'd still lack the 35+ other doctorates required "to even remotely fathom the complexity" of the situation.
Notice how they are excluding themselves from that metric of needing to be a scholar in "several dozen disciplines" in order to "even remotely fathom the complexity", since they are themselves making assertions on what the complexity is.
You are by this point correcting me because you are completely failing to follow the conversational thread.
"Why would anyone feel insulted by my insult I'm using to rip on them" is not convincing.
Remember the context, that being "but if someone calls a white fash a cracker, a white comrade's feelings are hurt" which means that the person who I think is being ridiculous is not the person actually being targeted with the insult.
I didn't pose any hypothetical
Do you not know that conditional statements are usually hypotheticals?
There are plenty of people who are interested in socialism, but if they show up to a socialist org and get called a cracker they'll leave. It's an insult.
That bold part is a hypothetical situation
You can't be this sniveling and then completely fail to follow the conversation at a rudimentary level on top of correcting others on it, it's just insufferable. I doubt it's even a language issue because people speaking a second language usually have the good sense or conscientiousness to check if they are missing something should they have an understanding so at odds with who they are speaking to.
That's unfair to NMS for many reasons, not the least of which being that it has human-like aliens and a ton more of both flora and fauna variety.
The problem isn't the book inherently, but the inevitable reception when put in the hands of pedophilic cultures like those of the anglosphere. Nabakov was adamant, for example, that the cover should not depict Lolita (the character) in any literal sense (or any person, iirc), for obvious and correct reasons. You can look up what cover art has nonetheless been used if you are feeling masochistic.
