Fair. Just find it hilarious that after all the discussion about the struggle behind this concept, only to rest on schilling whatever to be the pinnacle of missing the point.

5 will suffice.

Always a favorite. Be excellent to each other!

A few minutes in and... yeah. Good, horrifying stuff thus far.

Edit:

• "Why Don't We Just Kill The Kid in the Omelas Hole?" got me.
• Love the nod to The Brothers Karamozov. Existential horror at its best.
• The hope that better is possible is much of what Trek is about.
• Dude ends on an ad?!

Mentioned 3 other times in this post now. Still can't understand why it wasn't required reading amongst all the other dystopian stories.

That being so blunt would lack sublety.

That's a shame, just no sense in making a drink so poorly. Partial to the Luxardo cherries, myself.

Rogue Squadron held up better. Pod Racer I recall being ok.

Underpouring at the behest of the proprietor. Used to get the best drinks at a local dive... that is until it got bought out and changed how everything was done. A sad state of affairs. Doubt they'll make it a year.

Someone mentioned it in another comment. I was surprised to not have heard of it before now. It's on the list.

I can see why.

That does appear to be much more than coincidence. Strange that it never came up for me in school aside from the usual dystopian readings (1984, The Giver, Island, Fahrenheit 451, etc.).
