Tell me again what Biden did in 2020? And what was the result?

[-] JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

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!

And then far right media would parrot for weeks that Biden actually wants to kill Trump. If they did what they did for a “stolen election” imagine what they would do if they had “reason” to suspect that Trump could be assassinated at Bidens wish

Apple makes some really stupid products that they charge ridiculous money for and their usual stuff is more expensive than it needs to be but at least their core products are of very good quality. The same cannot be said of Tesla

In a concurring opinion, Chief Justice Tom Parker cited his religious beliefs and quoted the Bible to support the stance.

"Human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God, who views the destruction of His image as an affront to Himself," Parker wrote. "Even before birth, all human beings bear the image of God, and their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his glory."

wtf

That isn’t there so people use it. That is there so that Facebook can track where you go

You know lemmy is better than Reddit when a post about Greta isn’t filled with people that feel personally attacked by a girl that is just trying to make the world a better place.

That always pissed me off so much.

How are everyone’s stories coming along? Have you finished the game? If so how many times?

What tips, remarks or other things of note do you have that you want to discuss here?

As always try to keep things as spoiler free as possible.

Also should I do these posts more regularly (shows up on people’s feeds more and so has more traction) or like this is fine. Definitely don’t want to spam people.

Lucky rolls to you all!

The previous post was starting to lose steam so here is another one.

Please note that these will be pinned at the top of the community, so do remember to check back to these threads. The more people contribute, the more other people will check it out and continue the discourse.

As always, please be careful of spoilers. Use warnings and tags when needed.

Feel free to share anything you want, or ask any questions :D

Lucky rolls to you all.

I figured we should have a post for random thoughts, questions and other comments that people might want to do without having to create a new post just for that.

Do people agree this idea? We can have these up (possibly pinned) for a while. Maybe a few days, at most a week.

Please keep discussion spoiler free, unless you are using the appropriate tags.

Cheers!!

GN absolutely destroys Linus in this video. I mean Linus gave him all the ammo by repeatedly lying and not owning up his mistakes, but still. He's calling like it is, without any sugarcoating.

I did change my sub from LTT to GN.

Porque no los dos?

This is posts per day? The image makes it seem like so, the title not so much. 1 million posts per day and growing is a huge thing if so
