The best, simplest summation I’ve seen. Thank you. I’ve been searching for something to make sense of it and this is definitely it. Being forced into voting for the “least worst” candidate obscures where that path is headed by either candidate.
I can hear this sentence. I always loved the cadence Grammer gave to the reading.
I knew my time was up when most of my coworkers hadn’t seen Shawshank Redemption. Watching that was just the cost of being bored in the late 90s.
Yeah, but the longer you have to wait to find someone who gets it the sweeter that moment is. I’ll go a good decade not working with anyone who knows a damn thing about Starship Troopers, but when I do… That’s a good, knee-slapping lunch we’ll have before one of us quits to never be seen again.
I don’t read much fiction, but I quite enjoyed the book Edge of Tomorrow was based on: All You Need Is Kill. The plots only overlap at a very high level, if that, so no worries on having it spoiled for you. It’s fun reading the protagonist’s thought process and I think the book does a far better job at making the aliens scary, the war desperate.
Same here. I feel Reddit changed for the worse so slowly that I had completely forgotten what the glory days were like until I came to Lemmy. I forgot that there was actual discussion in the comments rather than the same ten lazy comments ad naseum.
I’m kinda surprised Lemmy is losing users since it feels like there is more engagement since I joined earlier this year.
My schools had a zero tolerance policy for anyone involved in a fight for any reason. I saw a few kids suspended for clearly defending themselves. My father gave me regular talks to let me know that so long as the other person attacked first he’d fully support me defending myself however I needed.
It’s a trend recently started by the ancient Greeks.
Your comment gives me the urge to create other maps you can comment on so that I can triangulate your position.
