  • Thank you, and oscardejarjayes, for responding! Hopefully I can get started on vol 2 one day... year... decade... . I get too bogged down in supplemental material that I neglect the source

  • Entropy's not evil, just misunderstood!

  • You could likely still use the capital book club even if you are behind (assuming the questions are on, or adjacent-ish to, Capital).

    I fell behind and debated on posting there or not, and comrade @Cowbee@hexbear.net suggested posting anyway. Cowbee and @oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net could chime in too for suggested practices.

    There are other book clubs too, but I can't speak to their rules

    Tbh, the engagement in last year's Capital thread started to wane after the first couple of chapters. I fell behind, and I'm sure many others did. I'm a slow reader lol. And there was probably a sense amongst us that once one is behind we shouldn't post in the older threads, or maybe we felt that our posts in the older threads weren't going to be noticed anyway - so some people (like me) just stopped posting. Life happened :(

    There's also feelings of embarrassment or shame in feeling behind that we may just need to power through, or remind ourselves that people on Hexbear won't actually care if we fall behind in reading. Post anyway.

    Even if it's hard to have an ongoing book club in those threads, they may still be a good central place to post questions on whatever topic or chapter is on your mind.

    A comment thread discussing some of this: https://hexbear.net/comment/6802005

    I'd still like to hear a mod give the final piece of advice, but I was getting a sense that it's okay to post in older threads if that's where you are in the book.

  • Yeah, I was looking into it, and like @FloridaBoi@hexbear.net said it is mostly the driver driving an EV as if it were a regular gas car. Which is a mistake I would make too if I were driving one. They have regenerative breaking and that instant response that you mentioned. That in addition to cues we are used to in automobiles (sounds, vibrations, etc) being absent in most EVs causes motion sickness.

    At least that's what I tiktok told me..

    I've never had a pleasant experience in one, I've always gotten sick.

  • The few times I've ridden in a Tesla I've gotten car sickness and thrown up.

    I accept it as God's punishment

    Do Chinese EVs make you hurl your lunch every time you sit in the passenger seat?

  • You can prove anything I guess if you just make shit up. Tankies destroyed

  • I know your pain

  • As I still have my mouth, allow me to do the honors

  • Bunch of dorks

  • I beg to differ

  • I feel seen

  • I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace
