If you enjoy reading, !Books@Lemmy.world is pretty active place to discuss what you’re reading and review it or get recommendations.

I try to post significant price drops routinely to !ebookdeals@literature.cafe as well. I mostly post ones that I have heard good things about / read myself and really enjoyed and are valid at all 3 big US ebook retailers, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon at the same time or Humble Bundles. There’s no rule against others posting deals they endorse for other regions or other books, I just wanted to avoid it being a firehouse of spammy links and I only shop US Stores.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Ugh, and during the start of Pride month too…. Why can’t people just leave these women and their sheep alone.

Without thinking about the validity of the ICCs argument for it, I wonder if part of their concern is whether or not having an antagonist like the ICC doesn’t shore up potentially eroding domestic support from Gantz and his allies.

I wonder how hard it will be to make this all… DISAPPEAR…

Bah, like the Romulans could do any better.

Arctic and Mlem for iOS.

Arctic is my primary, it was the first that I know of to include admin tools, the single developer is super accessible and on top of for resolving bugs and does a good job at supporting markdown both in the editor and the viewer.

Mlem is my backup if I need to access 2 different spots on the Lemmy-verse. It has a great viewer and interface but is missing a markdown editor.

For when you really want to set something on fire, but it’s just too far away.

I don’t inderstand, my phone knows that when I type stormloght, what I really mean is Stormlowght instead. (This happened yesterday)

Auto carrot is amazing.

You can eat anything, once.

Fiskars the blade company also makes Gerber products. The knives, not the Baby food.

This very reason is why I cut off both thumbs. Can’t force me to unlock my phone with my thumb print now. Checkmate, cops.

I can still beat an AI at the 100 meter dash though. Suck on that AI.

/Also, I can climb stairs, I bet Chat GPT can’t do that!!

I suspect the “source” they are referring to is Bari Weiss’s “The Free Press” with is all in on “anti-woke” as an agenda, and those that use that derogatorily are pretty much all right-wing sites for pushing an agenda.

And yep, if you read his arguments, they are all basically rehashed right-wing complaints. He misquotes the Muller report for Bill Bar’s misleading summary, overstates the reliability of the Laptop, and gets bogged down in the lab leak theory without doing the sort of authentication that one would expect from someone in the media trying to show how unbiased they are vs everyone else. It’s all right wing pushed talking points.

I really liked Dan Kelly’s response, it bares the partisan bent of the claims and failure of Berliner to put authenticity of claims before partisanship.

This one retreads a lot of the same water but has enough other stuff to justify reading it too: https://carriekaufman.substack.com/p/nprs-uri-berliner-exposes-how-liberal?triedRedirect=true

I love SwiftOnSecurity.

Because that’s how she’s told people she prefers to be called, that’s how she still brands her social media.

People respecting somebody else’s choice for how to refer to them is literally the example that is the worst for your argument.

This wiki page, not itself as an original source but as a collection of original papers in the references for you to peruse at your leisure is a great starting point. But your question is a bit like the “Did you know Aristotle never said ‘Thank You’? Mostly because he didn’t speak English.” Joke. You are expecting modern accommodations and language in texts from a different era that would have used unfamiliar forms or language like ancient Egypt that had a 3rd gender “sekhet”.

What’s up with people changing their names after marriage or adoption too‽

Why does everyone refer to her as Marie Curie instead of Maria Skłodowska? It’s just soo unnecessarily complicated to have to use a different name than the one assigned at birth.

We can remember it for you wholesale.
