I’ll have to search Ann Leckie tomorrow. Do they also write sci-fi or a different genre.
And thanks for asking. I think I’m ok atm, but it does make me happy to read this. It’s a very wholesome moment in Lemmy. I’ll extend that to you as well. Even if you don’t need it now who knows about the future.
This reminds me of how Freakonomics podcast episodes end which is this quote that I find very moving.
“…in the meantime, take care of yourself and, if you can, someone else too”
Thanks for the kind words. You seem like a nice person
I also wish you all the best. If you haven’t read the teixcalaan duology I can recommend them as well. It has Foundation vibes.
Hey! Sorry it took so long to reply. Unfortunately I went through some personal stuff so I had this message saved since then.
I see what you mean and the first Dune book is a very good example of it. The problem with neuromancer is that you don’t know the world nor the language terms and his writing style is a bit hard to follow. In any case it was a fun read.
As I mentioned I started playing Cyberpunk because of it and started reading Count Zero but have since then stopped. I like the book but I’m not in the right space atm for reading so I’m taking a break. But I plan to finish that one and then maybe the trilogy.
Ever since I was young I always played video games in English. Even my phone was in English quite early. The video games thing was a deal I had with my older brother/mom so that I could play more games because I was learning something which wasn’t all a lie. I remember being like twelve and speaking for the family at restaurants and such whenever we were traveling abroad. It was always funny to see other peoples reactions. I’m no genius languages or anything, just good timing and life circumstances.
Now I live abroad and English is what I talk the most. at work, with friends and sometimes in the street even though it’s not an official language. In some ways I have plenty of practice but in other ways I think my English used to be better (mostly grammatically and such) because I’m talking with other non native speakers and then you start to pick up some quirks and mannerisms. But thanks for the compliment!
Ranked choice was on the ballot in some state and it was voted down
In other words they didn’t want to chose the lesser evil so they were fine with either option
Amazing decision.
So they’d rather have a president who would support a genocide even more. Seems like a great decision.
Also, there were other issues at play in this election. Even Bernie Sanders said so
Also interested in knowing
Maybe it’s telemetry data from Max?
It should be clear that Max had no intention of ever making the corner, he only wanted to get to the apex first so that he can “claim” it according to the new rules.
2 days till 100 let’s go!!
I disagree with you that he phrased it as a threat but I’m not in the mood to argue semantics
We’re 100% in agreement that this shit is scary af
He’s not even phrasing it as a threat, for him it’s just an “obvious solution” to a problem he made up. He doesn’t even see it as something serious so he doesn’t threaten us with it.
Which makes what he is saying even more scary. Imagine what is he NOT saying and that he thinks would be a threat? Fuck, as someone on the other side of the pond I hoped I could show my support to my fellow Americans but this will fuck us all in the end.
Tell me again what Biden did in 2020? And what was the result?
