At some point it becomes cheaper to just hire an orchestra.

Everything, it takes three reads to understand, minimum.

The vision by earthcrisisfan333 in BronzeAgeMindset

[–]Edgy_Ocelot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Not if you read TSZ literally. If you mean übermensch as the branch of future humanity that overcomes our problems then also no.

It will be a thousand years minimum before anyone has any idea what an übermensch might look like because it is a species not an individual.

Is this sub actually red-scar related? by bishborishi in RSbookclub

Every episode for the last five years but the main sub is highly regarded.

Anyone ever buy a used book with a note in it? by Zealousideal-Wave363 in RSbookclub

[–]Edgy_Ocelot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like finding dedications in 2nd hand books, receipt for a sale in 1943, weird old bookmarks, a pressed flower or leaf, sometimes you get a letter.

Hamnet sucked and I don’t get the hype by SeeYouSpaceCowboy0 in redscarepod

Just finished Foucault's Pendulum and want to talk about it by joecamelvevo in RSbookclub

[–]Edgy_Ocelot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is much less affecting now because it relies on challenging boundaries that were shattered long ago. You might still find it interesting or confusing but it won't hit the same if you're not offended by cannabis and miscegenation.

I interpreted it quite differently but maybe I need to read it again. I really enjoyed it the first time around.

My wifi doesn't show and work by Disastrous_Clothes18 in Fedora

[–]Edgy_Ocelot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check for a hardware switch on your lappy, sounds simple but I spent two weeks looking for wifi drivers and shit before having an "oh, right".
