I loved Enders Game, Enders Shadow and Speaker for the Dead. It had a great emotional importance to me. Especially Enders Shadow, it was one of the first books I read that properly described starvation. I went through a lot as a child, and Beans story of a starving, smart, small kid really resonated with me in the period after my own tribulation. I don't think Shadow has the same impact on people without some of my experiences, so I chose to use the main arc and I've always felt that Ender would rather be remembered as The Speaker more than anything else. Probably silly, but I'm fine with that. In short, I agree, Enders Game is the better book. Speaker is just the pay off.

Moby Dick has always infuriated and enthralled me. I read 5 pages, hate myself. Start reading again in 15 minutes because I can't get it out of my head.

I use both. I like some aspects of each better. Reddit mostly has some specific large communities I can't find on lemmy due to size, or lemmys demographics just not enjoying that topic.

These people are so ridiculously evil. Banning the phrase clean water is insane.

He is just going through a nazi checklist at this point.

Tech bros love to rename terrible shit from the past and call it an invention.

It's amazing how they tolerated people preaching for violence against women and immigrants for over a decade, but all of sudden their passion for non-violence is so extreme after a rich white guy gets killed.

My rss app combines 44 different news sites into one long feed. It replaced multiple apps and makes checking an assload of news very easy.

I'm still learning to code, but I tried out a bunch and I've liked using Vim, VScodium and Pycharm.

It's always been a conservative pet project to get back at the south africans that took down apartheid. I remember all the white victim propaganda they pushed when I was a kid. A lot of conservatives have been raised on the lie that south africa is basically a mad max movie with concentration camps of white people.

It's impossible to believe you care about children while you are defending the mass murder of Palestinian children. It's just another excuse to justify your bloodlust.

This anti-DEI push is literally just an attempt at re-segregating the country. That's why these lists heavily target minorities. Their only goal is for their workplaces and government to be whites only again.

"The gang saves Palestine"

Cue sunny intro

It's just a poorly constructed lie to funnel more money to their corporate masters.
