1. House of leaves because it taught me that you don't need to make a book like a book for it to be a good book

2. Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy Which taught me that there can be Comedic Science Fiction

3. John Dies At the End It taught me that there can be unorthodox ways of telling a story and learning there are other takes on events

4. Snow Crash Which gave me a better way to look at the ability words have on a society as well as showing how two different worlds can be

5. Enders Game Taught me how to think like a kid who is able to understand adults but still have an imagination

It's a kitty!

I touched upon this in one of my earlier posts, tags should behave not only like a tag but also as a link to the relevant area of interest of a submission. and as rorifer pointed out, an actual menu of followed tags would be good.

If I had it my way, I would have hubski use tags like tumblr does.

I can just imagine episodes of sliders that could have featured these different versions of monuments on other earths.

You could still be a CT!

Being on a ship in the middle of the ocean is probably one of the best experiences of my life. You don't have to be on a submarine if you don't want to!

I'd say go and join the navy. You get to do a lot more stuff there than in the Airforce. but I guess I'm a little biased.

There is a scene where they show a late term abortion being performed and you are shown the baby gunk that they suck out of the woman.

Included in the gunk is a little hand, a little foot, and a little skull

The best way to avert or rather, make the first one less frequent, is to use the tags and append Conversation to it. This usually helps filter it for me.

I have to agree with you there. The fact isn't that it's dead, but it's also a type of expression that has been superseded by other more open and useful tools such as youtube poops and plane old tumblr style blogs.

a way to remedy that would for the site to give terms on the side. Sort of like a "most commonly used tags" that way you wouldn't get the shattered effects that comes with using tags like that.

Indeed it doesn't have the best signal to noise ratio, but when you do find that right person, the conversations are usually amazing.

This saying is what got me through my time in the US NAVY.

Go for it I say. I mean, it gives you the freedom to become Robin Hood, or start a new uprising in a third world country. Fight Godzillia.

I think that would be what you would go to if you were to right click a tag to open it in a new page. That little dialog that pops up would be in there.

Also: you would just click it again if you subscribed on accident. One click to subscribe which would make the tag/user's name blue and then click it again to unsubscribe making it gray.

This is pretty awesome, but I kind of want to know what people from our age have in mind for what will be possible in 100 years.

Although the purchases through tubes thing sounds pretty cool. I would like it if I bought something online and it arrived via Pneumatic Tube almost instantly.
