Stranger has a point where you can feel in your body the whiplash of the change in tone. After the middle point Heinlein was blocked for years, and when he continued the result was grotesque.
When you start reading dialog about what happens in Heaven, when the story started as proper sf, you know that the author lost the plot (literally and figuratively).
Solid choices.
Your “best of sf” doesn’t include many recognized classics. That’s weird. No LeGuin, no Bester?
According to Ridley Scott. P. K. Dick disagreed.

I thought the idea was that the answers were to be provided by others. After all, the community is called AskLemmy, not Soapbox.
People riot
It depends on the country, I’d say.
over less
What is “less” for you?
Yeah, I don’t care anymore. I just use a few smile emoji, and the facepalm one, because I never found a satisfactory emoticon for it.
Same as emoticons did, now with Unicode Consortium approval! 😁
Something like this would cause me a deep depression in month.
I’m trying to think of a funny way for Ryan to misunderstand Lemmy, but nothing comes to mind.
That’s precisely my point: Reading more (specially fiction) gives you additional situations, context and ways to face different situations, as well as vocabulary, to help you express yourself when needed.
Dyslexia, anxiety, poor education, not being a native speaker, ADHD, etc.
That “etc.” certainly includes living in an anti-intellectual society full of emotionally stunted people who learned that men shouldn’t care about feelings and that reading is for dorks.
what if I can’t put my feelings into words?
Read more. Then, write more.
It can be very hard to find the right words a lot of the time.
That can be, in many cases, because you don’t read enough to have learned the proper words to express yourself. Maybe you’re even convinced that reading isn’t worth it.
If this is the case, you don’t have anything worth saying. Better stay silent.
Hell no. That would turn anything other than unflinching obsequiousness towards obnoxious clients and potential fraudsters into a firing offense. Specially in the already dystopian US job market.
But style is also part of a person’s personality no?
Yes, if you accept “no style” (not caring about clothes at all) as a kind of style.
Demanding a non-null style regarding appearance is unacceptable to me.
it’s a visual turnoff to see no effort
Life is short and I choose my mind’s content; I don’t care about clothing except for modesty, minimal work convention or warmth.
you shouldn’t judge people solely on how they act
I’d say it’s impossible to do it I any other way. We’re not telepaths and intent is not magic.
The proper course of action would be to translate the foreign language and add those subtitles in italics.
