What did they do?
It's old but very readable and surprisingly funny. Even gets quite meta at points!
Goes off on some tangents at points (including some nested stories), but even these I found quite fun.
I'm originally from London and my parents would always say living room and sofa.
My boyfriend's mum refers to one room in her house as a sitting room, and another as a living room. I can never remember which is which, despite living in that house for a number of years.
Is it any good?
It's a cool idea but I like to go off the actual number of pages read (starting from the proper start point of the book, not the first few pages of copyright/contents etc) so I think a general % might throw things off slightly. And I sometimes re-open older books to check annotations, so I suspect it might think I'm re-reading a book when I'm not!
If you're not as anal as I am I imagine it's pretty useful though xD
I do agree with what you've said here, and you've said it very eloquently. But for the sake of my understanding I'm going to play devil's advocate.
Does a capitalist society really benefit from discouraging free thought? And is to do so a conscious decision by the ruling class, or is it just the nature of the system in general? Libraries, bookshops and newspapers have existed for a long time, and information flows quite freely on the internet. I hate AI, but I struggle to imagine some shadowy cabal created it with the goal to dumb down the population; that feels more like an insidious side effect. Obviously it was created with profit in mind though, and organisations are only to happy to replace workers with AI if it'll save them some money. The fact that it's available to the public feels like a way to appease the general population and get us used to its existence more than anything. So we gain some small 'benefit' from it whilst it replaces us in the workplace.
I spent the last few months working on a fursuit head for my sona :3
For a first go, I think he came out pretty good! But I have a list of things to improve for next time.
I might have a go making a friend's head soon (they're a cat)! Although maybe some paws and a tail would be nice to have along with my own head first.
Not sure how long it had been there! It had no smell ๐ค
So I've got this chipmunk onesie that I really love - great for parties, festivals and chilling at home. Unfortunately the other year I managed to burn it in several spots when holding a sparkler a bit too close (wearing this around fireworks was a dumb idea - I was slightly drunk at the time).
I'm wondering what the best way of repairing this would be? should I pinch the holes closed and just sew them shut? Or cut out a slightly larger slit to sew across a neater edge?
Nothing makes me want to suck dick more than seeing someone put a bottle into the correct recycling bin :3
Yeah my parents forced being British on me when I was growing up

So Elon tells me... he tells me... please, please let me cum Mr Trump. Can you believe that? As you all know, I'm the greatest, the greatest at edging. I'm all for it but... these people... you can't let 'em have it that easy... you really can't
I feel like this was designed by the straightest committee
