The US Authoritarian Regime Bans ‘Fight Club’ Book in Various States

The author also said that he saw the irony in many Americans’ angry response to China’s actions, given that his books are banned in many locations across the U.S.

“What I find really interesting is that my books are heavily banned throughout the U.S.,” he said. “The Texas prison system refuses to carry my books in their libraries. A lot of public schools and most private schools refuse to carry my books. But it’s only an issue once China changes the end of a movie? I’ve been putting up with book banning for a long time.”

He also said that having his work revised in ways he can’t control is nothing new to him.

“A lot of my overseas publishers have edited the novel so the novel ends the way the movie ends,” he said. “So I’ve been dealing with this kind of revision for like 25 years.”

Does anyone else dislike Bluray discs?

For me, they’re more trouble than they’re worth. For wanting to support your favorite artists, I’m rewarded with unskippable trailers and FBI warnings, and if you want to play Blurays on PC, well… Just take a look at this. Keydb files? BD+ decryption? What happened to just putting the stupid disc in the machine and...

I asked them if it’s possible and they said yes if you modify the back end, but I don’t think they have time to maintain two projects like this. :/

If you get yourself a Python developer which isn’t that crazy you could do it though.

[Meta] Could be please not transform this community into another shithole for Usonian news?

For fucks sake, lately it seems /c/worldnews is just like /r/worldnews, every stupid insignificant thing that happens in the US gets a shitty post here. Could you think twice about posting anything US/Europe related thing? I’m not saying there shouldn’t be any news regarding these places but some times it’s really stupid....

Can we have a rule that prevents using the word "American/s" to refer to Usonians?

I understand some people may not even realize it’s a word that puts yankees before all the rest of America, or that English didn’t have a better word like Spanish (Estadounidense) and other languages do, but I feel that since this is a pretty big community and one where the word will be out there a lot could be an...

Is there an easy to use Wine GUI to install .exes?

So I’m install Manjaro for a friend and it’s the first time he uses a Linux distribution, but he still needs a couple of Windows applications so I was wondering if anyone could recommend me an easy to use GUI to install .exes (not for video games, but for applications) so that he can install them without too much hassle. If...
