  • Two lunatics for the price of one explain why work-life balance is a lie by Big Lazy

  • Thankyou for saving me the bother. I usually like to check who these loonies actually work for. It's almost always advertising, a.i., or advertising with a.i.

    They're creating nothing worthwhile.

  • Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions

  • The problem I have is that he thought it was acceptable, or even preferred.

  • Reddit forces login to access old.reddit.com

    Jump

  • My main (and it's only minor) problem with Lemmy, and I guess Reddit is the same, is when people post the same story or link to like 4 separate communities, splitting the discussion. People interested in one of the communities are likely to be subscribed to the others anyway, so it clutters up the feed as well.

  • The adaptations of Hogfather and Going Postal were actually pretty good too. David Jason was sorely miscast as Rincewind, though. And Twoflower was written as a parody Japanese tourist, not American.

    I recall there was a Cohen The Barbarian short film put out some years ago that showed promise for a film adaptation of The Silver Horde that sadly never happened.

  • Man, I generally object to film adaptations of books because they never get it right, but I would so love to see him taking control of the robot army in Interesting Times get put to film.

    And he invented Vegemite!

  • I've always had a soft spot for Rincewind, personally. The inveterate coward that gets shit done anyway just because no-one else seems to want to.

    What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? August 11

  • David Graeber's 'Debt: The First 5000 Years'.

    This bit stuck out from what I've read so far:

    ... the words of an actual hunter-gatherer — an Inuit from Greenland made famous in the Danish writer Peter Freuchen’s Book of the Eskimo. Freuchen tells how one day, after coming home hungry from an unsuccessful walrus - hunting expedition, he found one of the successful hunters dropping off several hundred pounds of meat. He thanked him. The man objected indignantly:

    “Up in our country we are human!” said the hunter. “And since we are human we help each other. We don’t like to hear anybody say thanks for that. What I get today you may get tomorrow. Up here we say that by gifts one makes slaves and by whips one makes dogs.”

  • My well thumbed 1990 print edition with the original Kirby cover is one of my most prized possessions. I don't know how many times I've read it. You're in for a ride, and the Vimes series only gets better as it goes along.

  • That website is fucking insufferable. Even reader mode failed me. Better link, please?

  • What is the most unique book you have read?

    Jump

  • Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins. His work in general has a really unique feel, and i love his prose, but this one had the weirdest premise of all and he pulls it off beautifully.

  • AI Is Dead. Organoids Are Alive. Mini human brains are being grown in labs all over the world. Soon, they could out think neural networks.

  • It's not free by any definition of the term, though. What it is is infinitely exploitable.

  • The good thing about getting to the end is that you can start again from the beginning, and see them all differently with the foreknowledge of the whole thing.
