Tbf doing unpredictable things was what the Wallfacers were meant for. Still doesn't excuse the dream girl thing because what the fuck.

[โ€“] Wheaties@hexbear.net 21 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Liu Cixin clearly has some hangups about women. Twice in the Three Body series, the planet gets doomed by a woman acting too emotional. UN mandated dream wife is just the cringe icing on the cake.

Her name Cheng Xin is literally a homophone for 'sincerity' and has the character ๅฟƒ meaning heart. Contrasted to Luo Ji whose name ็ฝ—่พ‘ is a homophone for 'logic'. It's ๐Ÿคฎ Rowling level nominative determisism

[โ€“] Wheaties@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

oh damn the linguistic divide may have done that novel some favors. I probably wouldn't have been so enamored with the high-concept scifi if I knew it was being presented by Mr. Rational and his doe-eyed assistant.

I thought the translator's notes included the explanation of some of the names? Also Sophon is ๆ™บๅญ zhizi meaning 'knowledgeable child' (knowledge particle) can also be read as Tomoko or Satoko, a standard Japanese name.

The names do sound okay because the common surnames ็ฝ— luo and ็จ‹ cheng replace ้€ป luo and ่ฏš cheng from the nouns

i may not have been the most attentive when it came to the notes

[โ€“] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 2 points 5 days ago

Neither am I so I'm not confident if I picked this up from t/n or from elsewhere, all g!

[โ€“] Krem@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

the whole third book is episode after episode of the MC having emotions and making the wrong decision, and then it's contrasted with the american action dude that would have made the tough but correct decision

Seriously I could go to my local gas station and find three of these guys

[โ€“] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 18 points 6 days ago

Well then clearly one of them is the shooter, or this is some sort of 3 cup shuffle assassination!

Here's what the shooter would look like if he was black or chinese

[โ€“] D61@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago

Don't ask Grokkk to show you what the shooter would look like if they were Israeli...

[โ€“] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It looks like it just slapped the head of the protagonist of They Live onto him lmao.

Wait, they asked it to take his sunglasses off, didn't they? It must have drawn on the fucking sunglasses meme to make "guy who takes sunglasses off" lmao.

Yeah, he's making fun of a chud who unironically posted โ€AI suggests this is what he looks likeโ€.

He also made these two tweets: https://xcancel.com/arch_engels/status/1966188530025324969

Now itโ€™s just a groyper being ironic.

He looks like Jerma
