LMB: Point. But we digress. Society-wide cryonics, what happens next? That's the question.

Oh that's CLEVER, that is.
I've read the book they're discussing, and I can't recommend it.

Sampling artifact. After A Civil Campaign, there's nowhere to go but downhill.
Though there are said to be 14 chapters written of a book featuring Ivan...
Wiregeek:
Oh, no, please don't make that mistake - I think the book was wonderful, I just can't recommend it because SPOILER GODDAMNED SPOILER FUCKING SPOILER FUCK.
If you follow me.

--- Quote from: Boomslang on 09 Dec 2010, 02:24 ---It's almost like she's married her neuroses, and was cheating on them with Marten, and now the affair is over and she's going back to be with her mental equivalent of an abusive spouse, and that's somehow 'back to normal'. As I write this, I'm actually starting to feel sorry for her.

Get rid of the almost, and you've got it. Continuing the relationship with Marten meant giving up her insecurities—he out-and-out said that, pretty much, after the Underpants Incident. To quote Amy Lee*, Dora prefers (hopefully preferred, but she hasn't actually changed anything yet) to 'stay in love with her sorrow,' or, to be more accurate, to continue in the state of mind she's developed over the years rather than take a chance on changing, even if it meant she'd be happy. This is not uncommon. If you really pay attention, you'll be shocked at how many people prefer to suffer loss, pain, and suffering, and how much of it, rather than change the way they interact with the world.

Plus, neuroses tend to go elusive when you attempt to work on getting rid of them. They can tone themselves down to the point you give up on your efforts, because they don't seem so crippling at the moment. The parallel with an abusive spouse is indeed spot-on.

--- Quote from: raoullefere on 08 Dec 2010, 23:00 ---Now I'm really confused. Why does Pintsize have or need Sven's WiFi? Doesn't he have his own built-in uplink?
--- End quote ---
I (sarcastically humorously) meant the Fleshligth :-P
--- End quote ---
And raoullefere humorously missed your point by exploiting an ambiguity in your phrasing, and choosing the most silly interpretation to base his reaction on. In France, it's starting to be called "going Perceval", for reasons that would be too long to explain, but are linked to Kaamelott, a (mostly humorous) TV show about the knights of the Round Table.
