I definitely read the book, which was an ok spooky adventure novel more than the moody horror of the shining.

Hill house was BRUTAL. Definitely the scariest among his stuff, though i havent watched house usher yet.

Same as “re-education” of any type.

Its a concerted effort to eradicate the local culture and assimilate the youths.

Its cultural genocide

Didn’t know that feature was in yet! Maybe it was just not on thunder yet but i remember people wishing for it.

Definitely gonna try that for a bit

Yeah you’ll get it :)
and if you don’t, ask for help. Most people can relate anyway.

I was out for ~6 months a while back. I put a schedule on my calendar, so every day had some structure. Get up at 8 or 9, breakfast, practice an instrument, game time, lunch, write applications, gym, dinner.

Did the same through the lockdowns and some structure really helps.

The Ma’am the myth the legend is right there though :D

Short personal rant: i was so disappointed after reading about this. I checked where it’s at every day since reading it’d be visible from germany. It dips under the horizon around sunset, directly behind the sun and comes back up in the east around sunrise.

I feel scammed lol

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

Works on my end

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

People are already jumping to defend it as “a preview on where technology is headed”.

How would they know? Musk and his minions keep lying about their technology.

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.

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.

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.

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.
