I haven’t read the book either but I heard this Lolita podcast series and it was a great breakdown about how it was misinterpreted. I couldn’t believe everything I knew about it from mainstream media was off.
Will definitely be checking out your video!
I actually still like some LTT videos. I just find the thumbnails off-putting … so unless the topic interests me I don’t typically watch anymore.
I really enjoyed the Emily/Anthony bits too.
Key swing state voters are apparently idiots.
Rogue One blew my mind. Absolutely loved it.
I know it’s probably an unpopular opinion but I liked Solo too. The parts I didn’t enjoy were the callbacks and stuff. I didn’t need to see all those, but I watched it twice and didn’t regret it.
lol when I went vegan I used a lot of meat substitutes to get me over it. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good though!
I think a lot of these “cab companies” use the tips to pay the drivers now and take more for themselves.
I love the 24 hour clock and living in London, UK I used it all the time. However, I remember one time I bought movie tickets at lunch for 17:30 and my brain thought it was for 7:30pm and I called my friend at the last moment saying: “you have to leave work early if we’re gonna make it!”
Just like how the Supreme Court justices wouldn’t take away Roe V Wade …
Most people know now, but for those that don’t:

It says it’s attributed to Ernest Hemingway but that claim seems unlikely.
The claim of Hemingway’s authorship originates in an unsubstantiated anecdote about a wager among him and other writers. Hemingway is said to have claimed he could write a short story only six words short. In a 1991 letter to Canadian humorist John Robert Colombo, science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke recounts: “He’s [Hemingway] supposed to have won a $10 bet (no small sum in the '20s) from his fellow writers. They paid up without a word. … Here it is. I still can’t think of it without crying— FOR SALE. BABY SHOES. NEVER WORN.”[1]
I wonder how his listeners can keep hearing this same message for years?
It’s great but I’ve had greater sensitivity in my finger tips after trying to get used to it. Then typing hurt so I had to switch to a trackball and just regular vertical mouse. I miss the gestures for virtual desktops.
I feel like an idiot. I read “bear” and tilted my phone and squinted and all that. Time to go sleep.
Crash Course too!

There’s a lot of this nonsense. I think you guys deserve Trump.
I grow tired of these “both sides” things.
Don’t be embarrassed you thought better of someone. That’s their failure, not yours.
Yeah, I think the only take away us that they’re not Trump sycophants like Aileen Cannon.
It’s not quite the needed win, but it’s still something :/
How much of that is the NHS getting now? /s
Same year!
Mavis Beacon teaches typing. BBSs. Cassette tapes with the pencil. I had a Spectrum that used cassettes before I got my Amiga 500.
