@rye @detectivehyde Yes! It's a series I've wanted to read for a while... Not sure I'll be able to find the rest of it. u_u But it was the movie that introduced me. Plus I like fantasy and dragons!
-
@detectivehyde Yeah, I dread that too. The hobbit was much better in the books. I haven't read the full lotr trilogy but I did read the hobbit as a teen so I lucked out there.
-
@detectivehyde I think there was only one film and it wasn't a success story? I did watch it, and enjoyed it. The book should be better tho!
-
@detectivehyde Eragon. I picked the book up a while back. It is not an easy series to find though. I only have the first book and then realised there was more to it. :')
-
@waifu Yeah... Don't think it worked out for me too.
-
@detectivehyde Haha. There is not a lot to eat! But we'll see about that comfy day to be had. :) There is a book I'm thinking of reading too.
-
@detectivehyde Moce! I ended up watching the jungle book yesterday so who knows for today? :3 Might see what my favourite youtubers have up too.
-
@detectivehyde Very like a similar story here. I don't have much going on today so will need to find something to do. :') Hope you enjoy!

Happy Boxing Day, fedi! !britpack

@jg @sjw @orekix @dirb @wowaname i am still in awe of that marketing power to plaster wrongthink.net all over mastodon as a banned instance when it's not even a part of the ecosystem. genius.
-
@awg @wowaname @orekix I feel a bit bad now. I like dokidoki! Haven't properly been speaking to him. But I can understand... It seems to have really changed here. Sometimes I feel antsy myself.

I'll give the alt-right this: They aren't afraid of fearlessly debating taboo subjects, and of saying exactly what comes to their minds. They seem more liberated than the politically correct crowd, who appear to be deathly afraid of getting real.
There is this persistent denial of painfully obvious things, which is exactly what sowed the seed for the alt-right movement to begin with.
If you want to fit into polite society, there are certain opinions you can't hold, for fear of being ostracised; opinions that once had wide appeal among people of European descent until the middle of the 20th century.
The facts on the ground didn't change; it just became unfashionable to interpret them in a certain way due to political events and ensuing changes in the political climate during the latter half of the 20th century.
I don't think it's self-evident that the idea of progress should apply to social issues. Progress in science and medicine is easy to objectively measure. Progress in social issues is merely a matter of opinion. While it's possible to argue that the suffering of oppressed groups should be reduced, it's equally possible to argue that this will lead to increased suffering for the majority on the long term.
The culture of the present will always be narcissistic, believing itself to be an improvement on past cultures, but again: What is your measuring stick for that?

@roka @awg @karen Too bad not even gab wanted to take them.

@awg @ajr @7even I would say my class was shit, the curriculum was shit, my memory isn't very good. Some of my teachers were okay. I did actually feel more eager with the stricter teachers or the ones that were able to be funny and entertaining. But very little remained relevant to me as I grew up. I don't think there is much they could have done. I don't know that I was massively shaped by my teachers in the end.
-
@awg @ajr @7even I don't think it worked on me. ;;
-
@mangeurdenuage True. I don't think I'll get what I'm after though. I would like a similar user interface. Less program bloat than manjaro. I just want to strip it back to what I want to use it for.
-
I'm wondering if I should remain with manjaro or switch to something else.
-
@wowaname I definitely don't like a noisy timeline. Sometimes I get antsy too. I just thought it was a good chance to be clear on how I felt. I'd rather you felt welcome to chat with me even though I'm not following right now.
-
@wowaname Aw... *Headpats* Fwiw, I still like hearing from you even if I don't follow. I'm very picky when it comes to following people, and I don't like following too many people at once either. I've always been this way. But just know that you are still very welcome in my mentions!ย
ย Thank you! Merry Christmas to you. Hope you are having a good time.

@awg @taiz Tbh, asking for sidewalks isn't a bad idea... Especially where there are already some pavements and it is dangerous without them around like I see. But the rest of it? Bleh.
