Uplifting is really cool, but I've only heard of the idea of it. Do you know any good books or tv shows with it?

Is this Gaia from the Foundation series?

Reply to comment by FyeNite in [OT] Poetry Corner: Fire! by OldBayJ
Great pome, Fye! Glad you joined us :D. This has excellent vivid imagery and lovely flow. A few bits of crit:
>The inferno swirls around me like a gargantuan w wall
Repeated "w" there.
>A perfect storm raging outside my mind
Defended by nothing but meagre mud grind
It may be small and it may not be much
But it's all made better with chocolate and such
I love the shift in focus here, but I feel the ending itself is a bit sudden. You spend a whole poem describing this raging inferno, and then jump to "it's all made better with chocolate and such". And that doesn't mean you can't end it that way, but I'd like a bit more along with it or perhaps just a more serious tone than the somewhat dismissive "chocolate and such".
Good words!

Reply to [WP] Your job as a pizza delivery guy is the one thing keeping an eldritch horror from invading reality, and you gotta do the job and do it fast, since it’s “30 minutes or it’s free”. Unfortunately, the address that you’re delivering to is burning and collapsing, and it’s 3 minutes ‘til pizza time. by Ass_Incomprehensible

Reply to comment by NextEstablishment856 in [WP] You've gained a enchanted magic sword that can talk to you! That'd be amazing - but this sword has no combat experience and the mentality of an edgy teenager. by poiyurt
I like the idea that every sword in this world is a talking sword.

John balanced himself on the track, with his arms out wide and his mind in the clouds. “I think maybe I’ll tell people my mom’s a lawyer.”
“Y’know lies catch fire, right?” I told him.
“Feed the fire!” he commanded.
“Paralegal.”
“What’s that?”
“Believable.”
He paused. “My mom’s a paralegal,” he said, looking back towards home. “Does that sound true?”
“Yes, you’re fluent in bullshit,” I said, “Should we stop doing this?”
“Not until I’m not here and not poor." He hurried along the rail.
The ground trembled.
“You'll never make it,” I said.
“Why? We’re almost there!”
“Freight train.”

Scuba gear and probably tech advanced enough that you can breath underwater without needing a oxygen tank like artificial gills on a suit or something

So basically that scene in Dune where the Atreides house meets the Baron’s.

They’re running from the Eldridge horror that’s slowly been chasing for the past month. Now it’s your problem.

The Tyrant had ruled for generations with an iron fist. His spiteful thumb bore down on the people equally. None were exempt from his will. The world had never seen such a state of Equality. Each and every person was born, toiled, and died as a slave.
From time to time, people would organize. Dissidents, nursing their worn bodies, shared their distaste for the Tyrant. Legends, passed from one generation to the next over a thin mug of grog, were all that we had to tell us of the Tyrants' rise to power.
A spark here, a spark there and rebellion would break out like wildfire in the late summer fields after the harvest where the stalks and sheaths of crops were left to nourish the next year's bounty.
Each time the Tyrant rose from his Ashen throne, the people were felled like those crops before them. Each time, the fields were fed with the blood of those who could not live as a slave any longer. That is, each time before now.
The Tyrant lay across the charred stone, his Ashen Throne toppled and shattered. His chest rose and fell with his last gurgling breaths, his life's blood pooling on the stone. His eyes stared up at a sky dark with smoke, wreathing the deep blue starry abyss. With a final sigh, the Tyrants life came to an end.
His domination of all life on the planet had finally ended and the feel of those shackles falling was like a breath of fresh clean air after the season of fire...
And Thus Woke The Dragon.

Now, after several laps and centuries, the immortal stops and looks around, finding that they’re now known as a mythological/religious figure. by Ruffruffman40

I was thinking Northern Utah, it drops below 20 almost every winter, rises above 100 every summer, is extremely dry, yet is known for snow

Wait until the first sea-based aliens appear. Humans can’t dive that deep, can they?

And the suits that can keep out the pressure at the bottom of the ocean can also be used to survive in hard vacuum, so the space whales won’t be able to one-up us either. Though we’re going to need a second seat on the council for our AI, once we create them; or maybe we’ll just put an AI in our seat.
