Just started listening to Words of Radiance. I’m not the biggest Sanderson fan but I think he’s okay and I understand why people like his stuff. It does feel a little bloated though. I’m interested to find out if I’ll fall in love with Dalinar like everyone else seems to have.
Wait wait, are you saying it’s impossible to change people’s minds about cats, or impossible to change cats” minds?
I mean, maybe both lol
I’m primarily a fantasy reader. I never assume anything related to time or place, lol.
Because I respect my partner’s desire to see his parents? Grow a heart.
In all honesty, it’s a pretty limited silver lining considering people aren’t eating because of the shutdown. And my in-laws would probably blame democrats anyway. But at least they’d feel a modicum of suffering, not getting to see their son and grandchildren and all, because of their own voting patterns.
Oh, I’d be devastated.
What’re the odds on thanksgiving? Wondering if I’m going to miss out on visiting my right-wing in-laws.
It’s pretty garbage. I don’t trust the AI summary whatsoever. Just today I was trying to find out more information about something in a YouTube video, and it tried to tell me that no such thing existed when that’s what the YouTube video was literally documenting.
I know I need to de-google my life but I also know that it will take work and, well, inertia.
I’m a musician, and I like to write. I hate it. My husband uses it to help him code (I think; I have zero functional knowledge of his industry) and says it can be used in that capacity in certain ways.
The number of times I’ve heard peers say “I put this into chat gpt and it said…” makes me want to throw up. We think disinformation is bad now? We have no idea what’s coming.
Disclaimer: I know very little about stamps and ink; feel free to disregard me. But could it be used and/or meant for wax instead of ink?
Yeah, I was looking stuff up about it last night. Seems like people were really divided on the pirate stuff, and there’s a sense that the third book might be okay in context when the next book comes out but by itself is “fluff.” I’m fairly content to let it be until he has more stuff out. I don’t waste time anymore on authors who stop writing series after cliffhangers. I’m glad Lies works as a standalone, at least.
Just finished The Lies of Locke Lamora. Enjoyed it! On to the Expanse book 5.
Partially because I lived through it, the ‘89 earthquake. I specifically remember not having power and then everything turning back on after midnight and what the news looked like (more grainy than normal) because I was afraid of the dark and hadn’t been able to sleep.
Ouch I had a 4
Even my not-paid-off house is saving me money, since rent has continued increasing and my mortgage has not. I’d probably be paying at least twice in rent for this house as what my mortgage payment is. Bought it 12 years ago.
I don’t actively play the game with anyone but I’m aware of it and kind of keep it in mind. Last year I “lost” soooo early.
I was advised to skip it and I still have not seen it. Don’t plan to change it. I like to pretend nothing bad ever happened to Tripp!
One of our cats likes to give my husband “hugs.” She climbs up on his shoulder just like that. He is definitely her person.
Don’t fuck with Oakland
I did that to my husband in our 20s and 30s. Now in our 40s I can no longer tell which one it was that was rogue because there are too many competitors… we gave up.
