If he doesn’t like the simulation, he can always be sent to the real thing.

But do you know?

Zoom meetings are annoying. Cliff is annoying.

Zoom meetings with Cliff are very very annoying.

Well, he’s not wrong.

Cliff may look like an idiot and he may sound like an idiot, but don’t let that fool you. He really is an idiot. (Say the secret woid and win $100.)

Zoom is to go fast. But Zoom meetings are slow, long, boring, and annoying. They should rename it “Annoying Video Conferencing” .

When Cliff is right he’s right.

There have been many sci-fi stories that talk about the impact of a poorly balanced group in this sort of habitat. This is the first I have seen of it coming apart where the participation is … remote. Tim breaks new ground!

I think of this past two years as me exiling the people I don’t want to see. Cliff would fall into that category.

The problem with Cliff being in the Mars group is that it would take too long for him to die when they finally kick him out.

Well in a survival situation, and cannibalism was the only solution, you would be glad you had Cliff. He’s a good food source and no one would miss him.

For the sake of survival, Pam should no longer accept Zoom meetings with Cliff. And Cliff, for survival sake, you better not be there when she gets back.

Cliff has a very short attention span.

Measured in Nanoseconds.
