I’m single but I notice everyone has a specific smell. Try smelling some of your loved ones’ clothes and you get what I mean. I figure that this would be especially apparently for the visually impaired.
Yes but not because of pheromones, humans can’t do that it’s incel pseudoscience. It’s because when you spend a lot of time with someone your biospheres intermingle which causes you both to release similar smells as the same bacteria colonies eat and shit all over your bodies.
A Void's plot follows a group of individuals looking for a missing companion, Anton Vowl. It is in part a parody of noir and horror fiction, with many stylistic tricks, gags, plot twists, and a grim conclusion. On many occasions it implicitly talks about its own lipogrammatic limitation, highlighting its unusual syntax. A Void's protagonists finally work out which symbol is missing, but find it a hazardous topic to discuss, as any who try to bypass this story's constraint risk fatal injury. Philip Howard, writing a lipogrammatic appraisal of A Void in his column Lost Words, said "This is a story chock-full of plots and sub-plots, of loops within loops, of trails in pursuit of trails, all of which allow its author an opportunity to display his customary virtuosity as an avant-gardist magician, acrobat and clown."
I also find it funny that this paragraph from OP's link also avoids using an individual symbol. I'm also trying to do it in my post, but it's hard to form any thought without it. I don't think that I could draft a full book using this constraint, and notably a book that's so cognizant of it's own imposing limitation and of it's protagonists habit of fourth wall smashing.
Could you add "Always post prior to your parting", a 195-ish policy, to the words about the purpose of the community? And probably that "Posts and subposts may contain The"? don't think I may modify anything from non-mbin hosts.
How surprising! I thought that symbol most popular in “La disparition”'s original localism, but this wiki says this translation’s vocabulary has a similar proportion and thus - probably - a similar difficulty.
You mean the engine owned by the guy who refuses to abide to the GDPR, thinks anti-suicide messages would be bias, wants to use AI to “remove bias from news articles” (and from reviews)? d-shoot.net/kagi.html goes into it, it’s a whole mess.
What is this discussion? Did y’all not grasp what was going on with that first Bing talk? I was just trying to stop you guys and gals using that symbol willy nilly; nobody’s actually apologizing for Bing
I honestly don’t know anymore dude. People are getting super down vote happy, and I don’t know why. In another thread, I said that you shouldn’t encourage people to have eating disorders, and it got downvoted, so I don’t know.
I was not. My point was just that this post has a sort of linguistic playing going on that that first tldr didn’t follow, but you didn’t also so… I don’t know why I try. I just found it fun.
You don’t say? But you said it. Why, you don’t find it - approaching mortality for saying it, as in A Void - intimidating? I admit though, not using it is limiting. A book writ without that symbol… Wow. But I must stop now, I can’t think of any words without it.
