Fair enough, im still curious

What was wrong with fellowship for you? I know its a slow book but haven’t heard someone actively hate it

Technically so did you when calling a cab. Name, number and location

Check yo privilege

Thats the thing right. You dont care whos shitting in the stall next to you. You’re busy shitting.

This is (should be) true for any public bathrooms, no matter the sign on the door.

The response by the Lebanese armed forces came after two of their soldiers were killed in Israeli attacks. In the first attack, the Israeli army attacked a Red Cross convoy, leaving four medics injured during a recovery operation in Taybeh-Marjayoun. The second Israeli attack occurred in the Bint Jbeil area.

Weren’t they totally only targeting terrorists?

Seems either unremarkable/not new or fudged

Weapons analyst Sascha Lange of German SWP speaking at Deutsche Welle pointed out multiple discrepancies in the released Russian video and expressed his skepticism about the Russian claim

Same source as you linked.

Its a big ol thermobaric, which sucks but isn’t ground breaking (except literally lol)

Out of the loop, what events?

Thanks for the context. Anti woke chuds getting sad about a tongue in cheek tweet to promote queer gamedevs.

As always, freedom of speech != right to attention. Someone blocking you is just as much freedom of speech as you voicing your hatred.

bath towels every couple of showers. I use a separate towel for my head/hair though.
bed sheets, varies, depends on temperature and sweatiness.

I feel with discworld there’s so much material, and all of it is mooostly standalone readable (?) that i havent had any issues.

I’d say the rincewind stories are an ok starting point too, but i think the characters are extra whacky if you aren’t used to the world. Guards guards is probably good, but i just grabbed men at arms at the book shop on a whim knowing next to nothing about it

That’s a tough one.

Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett was my first foray into the Diskworld so it’s special to me, but also just a great book.

Neuromancer by William Gibson blew me away. It first defined so many things that are now Cyberpunk and SciFi tropes.

Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson is probably my favourite discovery in recent years - the whole series was just so much fun.

The Expanse by James S. A. Corey, absolute SciFi banger. Politics, intrigue, war, amazing characters, insane setpieces… cried more than once during my read.

Matter of definition for me. Had some sort of fracture in my jaw but it wasn’t broken through. Also “fun” anecdote, they told me it wasn’t cracked at the hospital and a week later my dad (who i hadn’t put down as a contact, they just used an old address instead of the one i provided) tells me i got a letter from the hospital.

Turns out i shouldn’t have eaten solid food and gone to a surgeon ASAP. Now my jaw is permanently slightly uncomfortable and pops sometimes.

Sad but not unlikely. Lots of people never lived near nature or had a garden. Let alone a large tree.

The one thing that makes me most certain that criticism of israeli actions in gaza are warranted is how any form of discussion is labelled “vile hatred” immediately.
I know propaganda exists and i really hope some things get exaggerated or are made up, but no sane person or government would react like that to legitimate concern for civillians.

Theres also some nuance between non-profit and for-profit. Non profit still can / must make some income to pay for expenses, wages. And for profit might still not be cyberpunk style capitalists exploiting under the veil of medical care.

Getting a flat rate compensation of expense isn’t really selling though. I think thats a bit too polemical.

Yeah its a shame. Idk how much “we” can do about corporates misguided copyright craze

I love how much the emulation scene is doing for game preservation

Plus its super interesting from a technical point too

Ootl who’s whispering shit in dons ear?

Hahaha that’s the abusive parent telling you you can’t see your partner anymore
