You mean because it's not Profitable.

One of the best American authors of the 20th century. If you haven't read any of his books, please do so. You won't be disappointed.

I think we're not the first and last

I like the saying but the history buff in me is irked how completely false that is.
JonWallace1985
Romans were completely aware their lead pipes were poisoning them for example.

Sirens of Titan is one of my favourite books ever.

Do you suppose he foresaw the coming climate apocalypse we refuse to stop so corporations won't lose profit?

We'll kill ourselves and stop anybody trying to save us because it would interfere with us making money up to the last moment.

Sad but true.
GrogMetron
no we wont. There cant be history if we all die and no one knows what happens. We wont be known for shit. We will just be gone.
CarlCopplepot
thank your for recognizing him as a smart man ... also Kurt Vonnegut: "bombing refugee-overflown Dresden was a war crime" ... and he's right
chuchuw
Eh, I feel like we can't be the first...

Currently reading him. Mother Night is very relevant right now.

Personal wealth has become more important to some, even at the cost of future generations. It is no longer survival of the tribe, its all me

I like the idea of a no-money society more and more.

If you're ever near Indianapolis, check out the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library.

And to be horribly wrong about how cost ineffective it was. We can't afford not to provide more intelligently to our populace

I loved him in “Back to School “

Cost-Effective isnt the first concern. Shareholders want their payout first. And even if it was cost-effective the SHAREHOLDERS...

I have a feeling it is, and that the source material is probably not the most tolerant of media.

Like the other comment explained, its from the boys, iirc the pride flags are being used for corporate reasons, not celebration
IAmTiredAllTheTime
Don't worry it isn't a pride parade, but in the show it's essentially Disney land and that's all corporate pride marketing
IAmTiredAllTheTime
Show is The Boys btw it's a fun bloody mess
eastherbunni
That specific scene is making fun of the corporate-ness of modern pride parades, the show is pro-LGBT

Vonnegut is usually my answer to those questions like "if you could sit down with one historical figure for a meal, who would it be?"
RibbleTPibits
Why would you eat a historical figure?

So many mofos thought this guy was the hero

Ah yes, delicious handwriting stock.

Thank you so much for this. I sent it to myself to download in the morning. Huge fan of his handwriting!

Favourite author.
CatchySensibleName
Slaughterhouse-five is easily my favorite book.

Vonnegut was a legend. When he died, our math teacher, our MATH teacher, took a half hour of class to talk about him. No one else did
JimLarsson
What did he say abort him?
GravyEducation
Taught us how invaluable and insightful he was.

My ex texted me at work to tell me he died and I still vividly remember that moment as a punk kid from Guam who was lucky enough to read him
ItAintAllitsCrackedUpToBe
I saw him speak in person when I was in High School. I feel very fortunate. But I didn't fully appreciate it at the time.
WPIII381
Who does, when they're young?
folderolchi
You appreciate it now. Wisdom comes with experience <3
dancingscythe
Honestly, it sounds like your Math Teacher was a legend.
GravyEducation
He was. Held the after school philosophy salon too. Met up with him once for coffee after school was over. Love you Mr. P

This made me feel my own feelings.

I still quote that line. Few get it, or remember where it came from or the circumstance for saying it.
