[18:22:09] <Sulla> Just finished Scott Bartlett's book "supercarrier". SF book that was written during the nomination, hero politican in the book is "sandy bernard". likes to point out how racist earthers are and that earth might "Deserve" to get destroyed/conquered
[18:22:14] <Sulla> was kind of hard to get through
[18:25:21] <AndyTheAbsurd> that sounds terribly heavy-handed
[18:25:32] <AndyTheAbsurd> kind of like the novella I'm trying to read right now
[18:26:33] <AndyTheAbsurd> "Heaven's Covenant" by Bud Sparhawk, in Analog Science Fiction and Fact.
[18:30:53] * Teckla is re-reading Permutation City... great book, highly recommended.
[18:32:35] <Sulla> My biggest problem with Supercarrier was not the stuff i mentioned but the unbelievable captain. Set up as a great captain that is well loved by the public. Crew loves him and is loyal whole way through. But the guy ends up being an endless hipocrit that makes rudumentary mistakes, gets over emotional at small things that in real life would break moral, etc
[18:33:50] <Sulla> I don't mind the weird political stuff - i mean hell, i actually finished reading "seven eves" instead of just dropping it when president hillary ruins the earth yet you should still have chosen her
[18:39:58] <AndyTheAbsurd> Hillary would have gotten nothing done because of Republican interference
[18:40:09] <AndyTheAbsurd> Trump is getting nothing done because of incompetence
[18:40:36] <AndyTheAbsurd> none of the other candidates could win because nobody believed that they could win
[18:41:02] <AndyTheAbsurd> so this time around, we were pretty much screwed with whoever became president
[18:44:00] <Sulla> Yeah
[18:44:31] <Sulla> So far I am pretty satisfied with the results in the middle east. Or at least I was until that mattis/tillerson keeping basis in syria thing last week
[18:44:36] <mechanicjay> IDK, define "getting stuff done." Trump is doing lots of things, Issuing stupid executive orders, shaking the foundation of the global power structure....
[18:44:59] <mechanicjay> But like if you mean actual governance...agreed.
