Hehe, ok, so I wasn't wrong about it being different and kind of hard to digest. Maybe I just need to keep my own notes on the footnotes and footnotes footnotes to remember what belongs where in the story 😅

Oh yes, 100%. Type of conversation and relationship between partisipants are important to consider. I just believe that the attitude that correcting someone is a negative thing is wrong. Sometimes it might be, like you say, depending on context, but not in general

I have that book, but never read it. Too many foot notes, for one, some of them could of been chapters by them selves! (Sorry)

Is it a "correct" or easier way to enjoy the book? Is it meant to be "different" in that way? I've only heard good things about it, so really would like getting to it. My go to time wasting social media is no more a part of my life, so now at least I have the time...

I slightly changed my breathing pattern after reading your comment, if that helps. Not full nose-blow-funny, but you caused a small, positive reaction. Keep it up!

I see your point, and in some way I agree myself. Language is always evolving, and the way English is spoken today is far off from what it was back in the day. And the way we use language tells a lot about a persons background and history. This is not something negative, this is personality and differences between people.

And it's not someone's job to change someone or everyone, but it should be accepted to correct when others are wrong. I for one like when people do this to me; I actually encourage my friends to do that to me. This is how I learn and develop my language, and should not be viewed as a negative. If I use language "wrong", I at least want to be aware of it so I can correct it if I feel the need. I think this should of been how more peoples think it about 😋

Haha, I don't know about dedication, just never found the need to engage over there. Reddit is (was!) a source of entertainment, news and information, not conversation for me. But already from stalking a bit over here I find the conversation more positive and on point, so things might change for me

Thanks for your reply. This seems like a logical and solid solution to the centralization other social medias end up with, and all the problems this brings with it (looking at you u/spez). I am brand new here, so need to find my way around, but when (if?) I do I sure will send some dineros over Patreon in order to help with the costs

I honestly did not know Steven Wilson produced this album, although it an absolute favourite of mine! Does everything that man touches turn to gold?

If you don't mind me asking: what's the importance of choosing a "home country"? Like what consequences does it bring signing up for lemmy.world in comparison to lemmy.ml? As a new user (refugee), how do I know where I belong?

Other than that, and the questions underneath your comment, this makes a lot of sense and helps getting started here. I can see myself wasting hours in this place
