Funny enough I'm the opposite, I found Ender's Game to be a good, short, approachable intro to sci-fi with a compelling message. Such that I was quite disappointed to discover the author is such an utter garbage person and the rest of the books that starts coming through real hard. The Tempest on the other hand was like pulling teeth, even as someone who enjoyed some of Shakespeare.
Apologies should this be intrusive, but as a second opinion, I loved Enders Game as well. It was given to me by a lit instructor when I was in 9th grade. She made me commot to 50 pages before I was allowed to pass judgement on the book. I read the whole thing over 2 days. I then went on to consume as much by Card as I could.
As someone who grew up in a very religious, conservative community, it is very hard to reconcile the generous, kind, thoughtful people you meet with the ignorant, hateful, discriminatory policies they endorse and impose on their neighbors. I'm sure Card is a pleasant and warm individual toward the majority of his community and fans. But the political agenda he financially supports also criminalizes and ruins the happiness and freedom of others. Both can be true. The same is true of a lot of my family and friends growing up. Figuring how to navigate that contradiction without compromising your principles is very difficult, and often there is no single right answer.
I think you make a very meaningful point re the ability for people to do both good and terrible things. On that level, I refuse to patronize certain businesses because I don't support the organizations the owners use their funds to support (cough Chick fil a). To that end, I haven't followed how Card invests his money. You are correct in that trying to balance the art of a person and the person themselves can be a precarious thing0.. HP Lovecraft comes to mind first. I have so many peers who idolize him for his contributions to the horror genre, but how does one balance that with his own personal viewpoints on humanity?
No idea, I’m not a drinker of them but it’s wild that you can’t get a scorpion bowl anywhere that I’m aware of.
You can at Shiki Sushi in Drm.
Hi :) Fwiw I just went through a career transition and my first job ended up being a programming/data analytics job for a 3PL. I mostly code in Python and have transitioned inside my own position to be working almost 100% in a coding capacity. While this is above my currently skill set, a lot of what my senior advisor does is optimizations and API building.
Martin Heidegger would argue that humans don’t die, we perish. We can never experience death because we are living. Living cannot experience an ending because that would imply that it is no longer being.
I love this explanation. Heidegger Dasein is one of my favorite things. Furthermore my sister and I have a running joke about "if I wake up dead..." -- because that's the thing as you state -- you have ceased to be. Like a computer that got turned off, only no one will ever turn it back on again. But a lot of times, those who have died, don't know that. And it's not sonething that they will ever think about. Because their thinking days are over. They don't get to have a moment just before death where they are like, "well crap. That's it for me. So long, breathing and pulse rate."
You won’t even be you anymore so there’s nothing to be anxious about.
Lol right? I mean, sure. I'm not running off to get dead or anything. But neither am I raging against the notion that there is anything other than oblivion in it. I'm here. I am constantly on the verge of being the truth of myself and yet it's a truth I will actually never attain by virtue of what it means to be in a thing.
You think? Would you say Reddit in general or just this sub?
that stuff is just fans of different sports teams arguing over who's better. the people arguing are identical
Ha! The teams analogy is spot on. As for the demographics, I haven't quite figured out the spread for the state. Any thread about whose county is the worst quickly shows how many members of this sub are from pretty far flung and often more rural than suburban areas. But then the question is, are those the same members who would pop up in a thread about NC politics. Hard to say, but I do think the demo you mention does tend to gravitate into a lot of the political threads, and when they do, they very much have a favorite sports team. And want you to know all about it. And they have all the player stats and everything, don't you worry -- there will be links provided.
I echo everyone saying the little sticks will be lost. I do however love the little tombstones idea ❤️ The laugh in my family is that I am an accidental gardener. I love plants and I set them up for as much success as I can .... but once they are in the ground, they are mostly on their own. So trips to Arboretums and Botanical gardens with me are often called "Jackietwice's Plant Murder Tours" ... because I will tell you every plant in there that I have killed or successfully grown. (Spoiler: Way more murders)
This is how I garden. It's funny because after a few years of getting no tomatoes, last year's crop was out of control. Like, I couldn't give the tomatoes away fast enough and our neighbors who we had just met and started hanging out with are now convinced I'm a genius tomato grower. I keep trying to explain they have a sample size of 1 and I really have no idea what I'm doing.
I love this story!
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!
Oh. I think one can make it apply. No one makes the Taliban staple their own staples!!
Works on glass stove top burns. Without scratching
Omg for real?? I love this stuff! And I have been struggling to get my cooktop clean, but I always assumed it was too abrasive.
You can also use a straight razor… with caution
Also a really great rec! Though in truth, I am not that steady with a straight razor. Mostly fine, but when it goes sideways? Lots of deep gashes. Usually in the surface itself but sometimes in the body of the self.
Constantine is my favorite movie but everyone I make watch it says its so bad
I'm a Hellblazer fan ... and I still have a soft spot for Constantine :) I think after years of having to come to terms with Hollywood shitting all over my favorite books, I stopped walking into movies expecting them to be anything like the source material, so by the time the film came out I was just there for occasional references and a good ride. I rewatch that movie every couple of years. It's one of my favorites, but it drives all of my comic book friends up the GD wall because it really is a pretty crappy adaptation. :D
TIL I am a millennial 😅 And to think I spent the last 30 years as a self-reliant member of Gen X.
Some Mondays I sleep late and the truck comes early and I get to just sit in bed and watch it happen from my bedroom window. Am 46. Still a joy. 😊 Then I go make a hot beverage with a huge smile and my work week starts sooo much better than it would have otherwise.
The smart waiter would bite his tongue and say "yes sir" just to avoid giving this asshole any reason not to tip.
Don't worry. They still don't tip. But the good news is, that does keep some of them from also being a-holes who don't tip.
"I tithe," wow what a fucking joke.
We always wondered if they paid their power bill that way, too. 😂
Outlaw.
This is where I was going to go. I would be significantly more pissed off with no spoons than no forks.
This is me! But I was ginna say all the spoons except 1 ... and now it's a fight over who gets to use it until they get more 😆
Eat it!!
Wtf. Does this person even know NC?
Triscuits ftw!!!
I wish I could sit back and watch. I'm imagining I'd die of a popcorn overdose.
I devoted an entire 90 seconds of my life contemplating whether not dying of a popcorn overdose would be a bad way to die.

There it is! This was way too far down. I shouldn't have given up on ot before posting it myself :(
This has serious
Last of the Mohicans - that score is phenomenal. I have the CASSETTE I bought after seeing the movie back when I was...17?
Omg I also have Last of the Mohicans on cassette 😅 .... it's a copy of the album my friend made for me to boot!
Oh hey that’s me, first comment hidden
Omg that's awesome! This was my first time getting to a beetlejuice first actually :) I couldn't believe no one had called it by the time I got there.

Ha!
I like the greek one, it almost tells a story.
I just wanna know how to ssay it in Greek! I personally enjoy "Behold my field of fucks, for it is bare." So this is right up my alley :)
It’s the ELO soundtrack.
I actually now have a soft spot for ELO thanks to this :)
Quick suggestion: see if you can stream “Jeff Lynne’s ELO Live in Hyde Park” from 7 or 8 years ago. It’s really good - a lot of fun to watch!
As an aside, I also really like all of your borb pics. I'm more of a birb person, so this was another great new discovery. I'm not sure what your westher is like right now, but I hope you are (and your borbs) are safe and warm. From my wren friends to yours ... happy holidays :)
