  • Humble Book Bundle: Martha Wells' Murderbot +

  • I cheat a little bit. I always get the paper, digital and audiobook of whatever I'm reading.

    Nothing to do? Paper. On break at work? E-book. Cooking dinner? Audiobook at 2x.

    That said, I read the entire first novella in one night in bed and then I downloaded/borrowed everything else.

  • Such a fantastic series. I read the entire thing over two weeks while I had nothing better to do and I am so glad I did.

  • Looks like you cross the road when the signal allows it?

    I believe ideally these types of crossings allow pedestrians and cyclists to use all four crossings at the same time. Similar to crossings in Japan.

    Just my guess with a quick glance.

  • Have you encountered this?

  • Thanks for the clarification. I totally forgot it isn't federally regulated.

    There are also student wages which allow you to pay students under 18 even lower wages. Fun stuff!

  • It is sadly a part of canadian restaurant culture but not seen as mandatory. Canadian service workers are regulated to be paid at least minimum wage.

    Companies mostly use tipping here as an excuse for the wages to not come out of their own pockets. If tips received equal or exceed minimum wage then they don't have to fork out the cash. If the employee only made $10hr in tips then the employer fills in the rest.

    Because of this, I mostly refuse to tip. I'm not going to subsidise a restaurant paying their employees. If you can't afford to pay people you shouldn't be in business.

  • Well, I do have a diagnosis. I appreciate you providing the insightful take on the process though. I just thought this was another instance of me just being forgetful.

    Hard to de-condition myself from thinking about myself in a neurotypical fashion and recognise my limitations are real.

  • Okay wait... Is this strictly an ADHD thing? I do this all the fucking time. Like, I go through this mind palace thing where I hunt down my every single action with that object and play "Where's the stupid place I left my wallet this time?" In my brain.

    But I don't see where I put the wallet, just places I've been with the wallet until I'm in the right place and my brain clicks. Like walking through a doorway and remembering what I was going to do.

  • Hate Reads (What to read so you can counter quote bigots)

  • I figured I had to give it a fair shake and use it as a companion to Kapital. While I found Marx's writing to be strongly focused on the philosophy I couldn't help but shake the feeling throughout Imperialism that Lenin was trying to sell the reader something.

    Which makes sense to me as it was published in pamphlets and the likes leading into the revolution.

    Though that unshakeable feeling never went away it did confirm a lot of my feelings and thoughts on globalisation, wealth consolidation and so on.

    Lenin didn't get a faithful customer out of me but his writing certainly helped me understand some of my more authoritarian comrades. I don't have to agree with people completely to stand beside them.

    跳过

  • To be completely honest I don't think Mein Kampf is worth the read and any other derivative that follow it are just worse takes like "The Turner Diaries".

    Turns out ethno-fascists don't have anything to back them up except fear and hatred so their fiction tends to fall flat.

  • Thanks!

    How did you find Rand's take on relativism?

    I'm quite young so I can only compare it to a few things. It felt to me to just be overwhelmingly "Fuck you, I got mine." Which is... Interesting to say the least when you build your empire on the back of the workers.

  • Hate Reads (What to read so you can counter quote bigots)

    跳过

  • Yeah, it just read like the angry rantings of a man left alone with hateful thoughts for too long. I can't speak to the quality of German in it and I'm certain some translations make his writings seem academic but they all just fall flat if you take a few hours to read up on economics and policy in Europe around the time he wrote the book.

    Just the angry rants of some dude who feels like he isn't getting what he deserves. Some things never change. We just have podcasts for that now.

  • I've forced myself to read Mein Kampf, Atlas Shrugged, Imperialism by Lenin and various other political works from various philosophies. Do these count?

    I've found many of them to be dry at best and abhorrent at worst (thanks Hitler).

    None of them have changed my mind in drastic ways but have helped me understand the viewpoints of people I talk to.
