I would also be interested in reading your thoughts! I am wholly uninterested in his works as his books are apparently overtly socialist and his blog carries some heavy anti-Zionist views. I get enough of those kinds of viewpoints from the news and I am uninterested in getting more from a wealthy Australian.
Finally ordered the book today, and will be sure to share my thoughts on it once I receive it.
I was aware that Max Barry held leftist views in general, but never actually read much into exactly what he thinks. I certainly never knew he bore any anti-Zionist viewpoints, though that would make sense. What kind of things has he said on his blog?
Edit: Well, first thing I learned upon reading the back of the book is that Max Barry uses or, at least used, an ergonomic keyboard. This is also, apparently, "the best novel in the world ever". Exciting!
I remember reading some snarky remark about occupation in his blog from 7-8 years ago (This is not my first NS Nation!), but I am certain you can find more recent sources than that. I don't believe he is a raving leftist actually, in his blog he actually expresses apparent cynicism about COVID and COVID vaccines interestingly. And thank you, I appreciate FF giving me the position!
I had another weird dream about the region where H came back.. as a graphic designer, and she kept posting her artwork. SDL had begun to fully embrace his Myers-Briggs personality type of ENTP (I have no idea what SDL's MBTI really is) by fulfilling every stereotype of that type perfectly. In addition, the region had like 300 people, making the RMB very active and cluttered. The region was also a physical place that was very green (in contrast to previous dreams where the physical region resembled a North African-style desert or the Colosseum), and there were large mushrooms everywhere. The end.
Edit: I should probably assure everyone that no strange mushrooms were ingested prior to me going to sleep.
Although I don't dream about her, I do wish she would come back and say hi to us. I'm willing to bet that she has a puppet nation that she uses to check on her region. As for your dreams IA, if not mushrooms than what?
Happy Hanukkah! Hope you're singing the dreidel songs a little louder this time of year, and may your heart be warmed with the glow of Hanukkah candles.
Greetings to my fellow nations of (NS) Israel. Our (RL) Israel has just sworn in what some say is the most conservative government that Israel has ever had, with Benjamin Netanyahu as its Prime Minister.
One of the coalition agreements state "the Jewish people have an exclusive right on all the land" between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, without any mention of the Palestinians. Although non-binding, the coalition agreements are sure to be a cause of concern to many.
So what say you Nations of Israel? Whats your take on the new government Be nice.....
Highly favorable to say the least. Bibi has shown considerable strength over the past years and I am highly excited for what will come of the new government, and for all my Jewish brothers and sisters in Israel. It's time for the Israeli government to truly do its part to protect them, and I have confidence the new coalition will.
Flor-Fina, what's kept you logging into your nation for the past 14+ years? I've been doing it for about 4 and it already feels like I've been here for a while.
It's part of my daily routine, NS is just one of the games that I log into each day. Also, I made a promise to Agent H to look after the region that she freed from the Nazi's. In the whole scheme of things, It's a small price to pay for loyalty.
Many thanks to yourself, SDL, IA, for your continued support!
I had a dream that SDL and I were fighting a large bearded man holding a baseball bat in a supermarket parking lot. SDL was a policeman and I was just there for no reason. Apparently the bearded man was angry at SDL because of how SDL parked his police car. The bearded man had a minivan.
