Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?

  • A stretch, yes. But it’s an interesting model for understanding what communication is. By telling you this, I am manipulating you into understanding my point of view and hopefully getting you to agree with me.

    It’s important to note that not all manipulation is negative. I should hope parents manipulate their children into being aware of safety.

    Even chit-chat could be seen as manipulating each other into “being social” but even I would say that’s a long shot.

    • Why are German young people so easily seduced by AfD's ideas?

  • The Dutch system does have fractional representation and multi-party coalition governments, and still the far-right is on the rise.

    This is a complex situation, not simply fixed with a magic bullet of voting reform.

  • You’d think that euronews, a European news org, would know the difference.

    Nothing about Lapland in this article 🤷

    • If you could have one small thing as a superpower. What would it be and why?

  • Even if you limit it by range, like only recolouring things within 1 meter of where you touch… It’d still be a great power! Imagine the money you’d make, flawlessly painting whole rooms in seconds.

  • What’s a treasure horde? A tribal society based on loot? I think you mean hoard

  • What are the titles of those books? I think there are six in the original series by Frank Herbert and there are many other books by his son Brian. I haven’t read all of those.

  • Yeah! The first sequel, Foundation’s Edge, was excellent! It was written with as much if not more depth as the original series. The second sequel, Foundation and Earth, however seemed like a pulp novel by comparison. The story was simplistic and the conclusion pretty disappointing, although it did bring up an interesting quandary about the future of the galaxy.

  • What slowed me down a lot with Dune were the many different, unfamiliar names. Once that clicked, the story started unfolding by itself and I could not stop myself reading. It’s been a long time since I first read the original books, but I think I finished all six of them in less than a month. I hope it clicks for you too!

  • I totally agree. This series, along with the original Dune novels, is the bedrock of my love for sci-fi.
