Join the Phantom Thieves and strike back against the corruption overtaking cities across Japan. A summer vacation with close friends takes a sudden turn as a distorted reality emerges.
When a new price is set for a subscription product that the user has been purchased, the user would have the right to criticize the price and consider whether or not to continue using the product.
This is especially true in the case of #Unity, which was used as a foundation for users to develop their own games, and once the game was completed, the users had the right to copy and distribute that game. However, #Unity's new price is not a matter of price, but of taking away some of the copy and distribution rights from the user. Therefore, users must carefully consider whether or not to continue using #Unity.
Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy. You are a young Russian woman living in the late 19th century, where a successful romance seems quite impossible for the obliviously wealthy; you try to break the mold but the mold wins. 4 of 5 library cats 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈.
@jofagobe@bookstodon The Kitty storyline ended very unsatisfyingly for me; it seemed built for contrast to Anna’s, but didn’t really deliver on that, at least for me.
@MoiraEve and if I could piggyback, another great book of like intention is The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, by Carl Sagan and co-authored by Ann Druyan
FINALLY finished Reclamation Algorithm: Fire Within the Sand!! \o/ Ending 1, I ain't doing other endings for now lol
During boss fight, a stupid enemy pathing hit my level II barrier and destroyed it smh, thank god I was prepared
Just 1 medal left (cook more) and then I'll be done for real
@CynAq@hmm_cook@actuallyautistic ahaha People issues aside? Accessibility Coach. I wanna yell at people/corps for not making appropriate/legally-mandated/completely normal and low effort accommodations for people with disabilities of all kinds. Autism being just one of many things that are normative to the point that someone should write guide to it. “seeeeeeeee i promise it’s not that hard to be nice to people who have different needs than you.” 🤣
@notagander@CynAq@actuallyautistic Yes! I hope you do this and can help lots of companies which can help lots and lots and lots of other people! You’re right, it’s not that hard. It does take letting go of some assumptions though.
Fox News is many things, but it seems to me that, above all, it's grievance reception for a particular kind of insecure adult over 50 who is embarrassingly mourning the loss of a future that openly doesn't want them and failing in an attempt to pretend they're not bothered by it.
@charlotteclymer Linguist Dr. Valerie Fridland wrote an amazing book ("Like, Literally Dude") about this. I read it at @grammargirl 's recommendation.
Self-appointed "language purists" have been using their own arbitrary standards of language to demonize and dismiss the language of historically vulnerable groups (women, children, people of color) for centuries. It has nothing to do with caring about language and everything to do with preserving a societal hierarchy.
When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; #culture-death is a clear possibility.
How did i miss that?!? Yes, that is one of the ones i've read. Considering when it was written, and before the internet/digital age, WOW!!! That is one i'd like to re-read. I've yet to get anyone else to read it, but i keep trying :)
Thanks for sharing!

»Aufschlussreicher wäre, wer ein Interesse an diesem Durchstechen von Schulzes Mängelliste [an die Buchpreis-Jury] hatte? Wem sollte genützt, geschadet oder worauf aufmerksam gemacht werden? Sollte der Jury bedeutet werden, sie solle doch bitte ihre Arbeit besser machen?«
Ja, puh, schwierige Fragen das, ich kann mir auch nicht vorstellen, wie ich als Juror*in den Roman betrachten und bewerten würde, wenn mir eine Mängelliste dazu geliefert würde. #Gneuß
der Vorwurf, dass »vielleicht nicht gewissenhaft nachrecherchiert wurde« (tgsp) ist ein Witz, wenn man bedenkt, dass 8 von 10 Literatur-Journalist*innen die Bücher, die sie rezensieren, nicht gelesen haben.
Es ist insofern ein Hohn, als, wenn man gewissenhaft recherchiert und dann dafür gelobt wird (jaja, ich spreche von mir), dieses Lob auch immer ein Gschmäckle hat, von wegen: hat sich Mühe gegeben, Fleißarbeit usw
