Exactly. Promote it as community outreach, it's more useful than feel-good Pictures at dog shelters.

Stranger has a point where you can feel in your body the whiplash of the change in tone. After the middle point Heinlein was blocked for years, and when he continued the result was grotesque.

When you start reading dialog about what happens in Heaven, when the story started as proper sf, you know that the author lost the plot (literally and figuratively).

Solid choices.

Your "best of sf" doesn't include many recognized classics. That's weird. No LeGuin, no Bester?

Well, when I'm not wanted I tend to burn bridges.

According to Ridley Scott. P. K. Dick disagreed.

😁

So you advocate for the abolition of money also?

I thought the idea was that the answers were to be provided by others. After all, the community is called AskLemmy, not Soapbox.

Like banks and insurance companies?

I think all the Rust devs should remove their code and leave. And when in the future the Linux devs change their tune and ask for their help, they should refuse.

People riot

It depends on the country, I'd say.

over less

What is "less" for you?

Yeah, I don't care anymore. I just use a few smile emoji, and the facepalm one, because I never found a satisfactory emoticon for it.

Same as emoticons did, now with Unicode Consortium approval! 😁

I love that Theora is called that after the controller in Max Headroom played by Amanda Pays.

Something like this would cause me a deep depression in month.

I'm trying to think of a funny way for Ryan to misunderstand Lemmy, but nothing comes to mind.

That's precisely my point: Reading more (specially fiction) gives you additional situations, context and ways to face different situations, as well as vocabulary, to help you express yourself when needed.

Dyslexia, anxiety, poor education, not being a native speaker, ADHD, etc.

That "etc." certainly includes living in an anti-intellectual society full of emotionally stunted people who learned that men shouldn't care about feelings and that reading is for dorks.

what if I can't put my feelings into words?

Read more. Then, write more.

It can be very hard to find the right words a lot of the time.

That can be, in many cases, because you don't read enough to have learned the proper words to express yourself. Maybe you're even convinced that reading isn't worth it.

If this is the case, you don't have anything worth saying. Better stay silent.
