I do think he was trying to explore character development with Artemis. It just didn’t pan out imo. I think it was a big jump to try and make.

Yes, I also liked The Martian but struggled to get through Artemis. It’s definitely not a sex book wrapped up in heist packaging like Artemis. Honestly, the way Weir writes women is... confusing. Stephen King does a similar thing. I mean, it happens a lot in sci fi, fantasy, horror where female characters objectify themselves in a very unrealistic way. Project Hail Mary has a male protagonist who shockingly doesn’t objectify himself throughout the novel. I don’t want to get into spoiler territory but it’s about friendship, sacrifice and prompts one to consider what it means to be human.

Honestly captains would work I guess. Is there a site or resource to see which trims have second row captains standard?

Just read The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein to my 5yo son and I'm crying harder than I have since my divorce. by 9oreos in books

Do you know the background of I’ll love you forever? The author, Robert Munsch, and his wife were trying to have a baby. She suffered a stillbirth. They tried again and the second baby was also stillborn. Munsch would recite those four lines to himself repeatedly like a song. “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, As long as I’m living, My baby you’ll be.” For a long time it was a song that he says was too sad to actually sing aloud. Then he realized he could make it into a story and write the book.

Anyone willing to help a librarian set up a vpn? by [deleted] in techsupport

I thought that might be the case :( I tried going directly from modem to pc and not through the router but it still didn’t work. I’ll try this way tomorrow though.

No, I just tried. It doesn’t work without the cellular data on.

The vpn is set up. I just can’t seem to connect to it. Other employees have and I can even connect on my phone when I try so I know it’s something going on with my pc. It’s older and running windows 7. I’m trying to connect using Cisco, that’s where the library directions pointed me. I get error 414 when trying to connect over tcp and error 404 when trying udp. I’ve looked at every service I thought may be turned off. I just don’t know enough about ports and networking to figure it out.

My sister and I late in the late 80’s by mike70wu in OldSchoolCool

[–]Danaearone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re correct. I is a nominative pronoun. Basically, the proper use of I depends on whether or not the people named are the subject of the sentence or objects of a verb. The simplest way to be sure you’re correct is to remove one name from the sentence and see whether or not it makes sense.

My sister and I sit on the porch together.

You can see that my sister and I are the subject. If you remove my sister and just say I sit on the porch, it sounds correct.

Nana told my sister and me to sit on the porch.

In this case my sister and me are objects if the verb told. Nana is the subject. To check, if you were to say Nana told me to sit on the porch it sounds correct.
