Listening to The Dark Forest audiobook and cringing into a ball at the one character low-key putting in an order for his ideal girlfriend

A humorous request to your life insurer:

Would the policy still be paid out after you got sucked into a black hole?
Because you would never arrive at the Event Horizon from a relative view, and therefore theoretically never be dead.

Have recently finished (and really enjoyed) #TheThreeBodyProblem by #Cixin. Can highly recommend if you like your #SciFi. Has some good science but (perhaps unusual for SciFi) some great reflection on personal journeys.

Really interested to see where #TheDarkForest goes.

Quick, stop all your radio transmissions and stay silent. Or maybe it's something that's using our sun for a slingshot maneuver so it looks like it originated from our solar system.

In the book I’m reading, one of the characters isolate themselves from news and world events, because he cannot do anything about them and they’re just stressing him out.

In the book, aliens are on their way to earth to wipe out the human race because we’re bugs.

Yeah.
