Going to give a less well known book here, but figure some of Lemmy would appreciate it. Wrath Goddess Sing is a good book made amazing by a narrator who was actively working with the author.

Even when the author coached the narrator? I know of at least one audiobook where the author used the narrator’s voice to fill in what words on paper couldn’t

Ooh I’ll have to try it. I loved the paper books

Is no pedophilia one of the commandments?

Yeah without the singular they your English is bad. Sucks for non native speakers but it’s how our language works.

Idk I grew up with it in Indiana and Ohio

What we really need is an increase in growler culture. I want to be able to bring my own bottle to a shop and have my beer/wine/liquor/soda/whatever dispensed and priced by volume from their keg/cask/dispenser. It was just a thing with beer when I lived in Kentucky and it’s something I wish was more of a thing where I live now. I’m sure it was partly due to their lax alcohol laws, but it was striking to see such an environmentally responsible habit in the heart of coal country

That wouldn’t be an official act as president. What would be an official act as president would be nuking mar a lago, calling a special forces strike on trump, or possibly even getting him sent to Guantanamo

They hate me online more than irl. And I’m under the impression I’m generally well regarded online

Yeah well I was less scared when people weren’t openly hating my neighbors for being Jewish

Oh they absolutely do. The alternative is men with breasts. They’ll say they don’t, but when the time comes to accept cis men’s bodies when they fall outside “male” expectations they won’t.

Well they do vastly outnumber us and have a ton of their own gender based insecurities so it makes sense

I think the feds should get involved any time anyone grooms children for any sexual act. But I think her and I firmly disagree on where each counts

Well no fucking shit. Clubbing is often an escapist behavior. People with severe trauma often find themselves engaging in risky behavior with drugs, alcohol, sex, etc. Anything to distract them and help them hide from the pain. Clubbing was just the means her background, personality, and wealth led her to, but it’s no different from a meth orgy in a trailer park when we’re talking about its psychological root cause

Also because these types of programs just categorically don’t work. Some of the techniques can help consenting adults, but in young people and people there against their will it just creates trauma

Exactly, I don’t want revenge I want a kind society of equals

Yeah that’s one of the roughest reads of my life. Found it years back and oof. Important though

Good

As an American authority is hated and enforced. Our culture is highly competitive and authority focuses aren’t above it.

That sounds really nice. As an American I try to live like that but it often is difficult in our culture

Idk yank units sounds really catchy
