Runescape (as we remember it in the 2000s/2010s lives on in Old School Runescape or '2007scape'. Supported by Jagex, it's the Runescape you remember from 2007 but has routine community polls on new skills/quests/bosses…
Berry, besides actively having a farm in Henry County, raised money, provided education and resources for local farmers in the community + around the region via The Wendell Berry Center / Our Home Place Meat, others. To…
Berry was much more concerned with the health of small-scale family farms and the land than supporting a 600-acre tourism complex.
I traveled to the Wendell Berry Center numerous times over the last few years - he and his family were a wonderful boon on the local community there. One of my favorite quotes of his, from What Are People For? “Rats and…
Replying to your comment about lack of content, which itself isn't commenting on the content, with my own comment which also is not a comment about the content. Contentedly.
This seems like a fast-track to making airline mechanics a minimum-wage, any-guy-off-the-street kind of job, which is not who I want touching the plane I'm flying in. There needs to be SOME accountability. "Oh, but my…
I was told NFTs were 'progress' merely a few years ago. Now all of my randomly generated portraits of monkeys are worthless!
Your account was created <1 month ago, you have made ~25 comments and at least 4 of them mention China. You doth protesting too much?
Unfortunately for those other people, there are rules and social customs about not being an inane goober when you're in a shared public space.
I'm pretty sure "don't be snarky" is one of the first 5 sentences on the site rules.
Alright I'll bite: What are you getting out of skimming through what is widely considered one of the greatest novels of all time? General plot points? That can be accomplished with a readthrough of the SparkNotes.
Instead of replying in kind, I will benevolently nudge you to review the Hacker News comment guidelines. I don't think any of us want this site to fall to lower standards of other social media platforms.
I agree that words do have a specific meaning, but the history of words changing their meaning is truly awful+! I was talking to this young girl++ in my neighborhood about words and slang - he said he had never…
I was referencing a direct quote from the author, looks like the Booker Prize board actually looked into it and disputes the certainty of the claim. Oh well. However: 1. Regime change doesn't happen instantaneously. The…
I believe when most libraries and stores use the term 'ban', they rely on PEN America's definition: "any action taken against a book based on its content and as a result of parent or community challenges, administrative…
Not sure if your sarcasm is directed at Dua Lipa for including Atwood, or at the states that actually removed it from their public schools (Texas, Florida, Missouri, among others), but it was actually banned in Portugal…
In the past, though, dogs (domesticated wolves, however you want to look at it) were more akin to 'hunting partners', wouldn't you say? But for you the line is crossed when we start keeping them in kennels/breeding…
Genuinely curious - are sheep kept for their wool also slaves in your opinion?
What is your profession now? Accountant? Ship's Captain? Do your D&D campaigns track gold coin weight? Either way, this sounds like it would have been weirdly fun as a kid. Very imaginative even if it doesn't sound like…
This is a 240 page book and the page you are linking to is more than half way in. No teen is reading this far in and frankly probably wouldn't even pick up a MEMOIR called GENDER QUEER unless the story resonates with…
I doubt that the administration would initiate the removal process with no outside pressure from a parent or maybe some sort of parental group a la the Satanic Panic and BADD [1]. [1] Bothered About Dungeons & Dragons
'Curated out' not by librarians but by a singular patron challenging the purchase of a certain publication.
According to this study[1] "With good water quality, roughly 80% of water withdrawal is evaporated and considered “consumption"" with the rest being discharged to wastewater facilities. [1]…
'value to be extracted' seems like the exact opposite of the author's sentiment.
I think there's a difference between 'the flow of information' and 'journalism'. The journalism/newspaper industry is indisputably smaller than it was 20 years ago and the newspapers that are left are all being…
