      Sorry for the off-topic question, but is your username a reference to the Culture books? I think that would have been a great addition to Very Little Gravitas Indeed/Zero Gravitas/Experiencing A Significant Gravitas Shortfall. Like, I can just imagine a book where the Very Little Gravitas Indeed, Zero Gravitas, and A Gravitas Deficiency all happen to be in the same incident group chat and constantly fuck around while the other ships debate and fuss, and then one or all three of them pulls a rabbit out of the hat and fixes the problem while the other Minds aren’t looking.

      God, I miss Iain M. Banks. Also, if your username isn’t a reference then I probably sound like an absolute lunatic.

        That is precisely what my username is referencing :) and I love it when people recognize it in the wild!

        And yeah, I too was crestfallen when he passed :(

        Edit: whoever downvoted you is an asshole. Like… why?

          I’m guessing it was because my comment is off-topic and lengthy. I would have sent you a DM, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do that in my mbin client 😅
