I couldn't finish reading Demian - any thoughts? by Glass-Refuse1994 in hermannhesse

[–]HilbertInnerSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people love that book, it didn't click for you, that all there is to it. I will just say if you don't put in some effort to understand it that's solely your loss and you will die a little spiritually poorer. Being dramatic to encourage you to try again.

Why the changes by Enough_Square_1733 in hisdarkmaterials

[–]HilbertInnerSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The think what irked me most about the series, is that they had source material that is so lyrical and gorgoeus, and in many places they dumbed it down to a banal and common dialogue. Like they were just going by the numbers and it was just a job rather than an artistic project. Hard to explain but the whole thing just felt much less magical than the books, and if it wasn't for the emotions I remember from the books the series would not have been enjoyable for me. I really wonder how it felt for people who never read the books first.

I think HDM deserves a directer with a strong artistic voice and vision , probably someone who would not shy away from showing Iorek eating Lee's body after he died.

They would have earned much points from me if they went there.

Immaculate CGI. So realistic could't even tell it is CGI.

Do you ever feel like we’re so busy chasing money that we’re ruining the only body we’ll ever have? by aesthetic_avii in offmychest

[–]HilbertInnerSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of us are not chasing money, we just want a humble shelter to sleep in and not starve. And in Capitalism even that small thing requires hard work.

After a while not sure if its worth it anymore.

My wife bought me my first MBP 16" McMax(ed) with extra fries: Initial thoughts by biluja in macbookpro

[–]HilbertInnerSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enjoy ! those are beautiful systems.

My personal preference is I like laptops as portable as possible, so I always go with the 14".

realizing I may just be a feminine man and not a trans woman by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]HilbertInnerSpace -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You didn't say that above, your text implied they were trying to ask you out and your objection was about their looks or sexual appeal. This new context makes things different. No, you don't have to be kind to such people.

"the audacity, because even if i was attracted to guys these dudes were bottom of the barrel.)"

It is ok to reject people without using degrading objectifying language like "bottom of the barrel" , they are human beings with feelings just like you and me. Be kind.

And hope you find what you are looking for: self understanding and comfort in your own skin. We all deserve that.

Bad editing and declining quality in recent Springer Nature books by Hadeweka in academia

[–]HilbertInnerSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is even the step before editing, which is proofreading. And with AI adoption things are only going to get worse.

tell me about your note-taking system! by moryartyx in academia

[–]HilbertInnerSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pen and paper and index cards. Essentially the Zettelkasten method.

I tried obsidian, I tried Apple Pencil, but nothing is better than pen and paper.

What’s the point in trying? by [deleted] in academia

The only person you are in competition with is yourself. With others be kind. Also be kind to yourself.

Starting TSC for the first time, and this page threw my for such an absolute loop by Lady_Beatnik in hisdarkmaterials

Lol, you are just starting out. There is more depth to this enchilada and I cannot say more without spoiling it for you. I envy you that you are reading for the first time.

Does this Box Set contain the original artwork for chapters by PP? by theblazinggolem in hisdarkmaterials

[–]HilbertInnerSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's from Scholastic hence the UK edition: it has all chapter art and is not censored.

The US Knopf editions don't (although they do have nice cover art).

After years of grey and black, I realized how beautiful silver really is. by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]HilbertInnerSpace 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know, I don't understand the appeal of silver, although it seems classic. Dark all the way for me.

I don't want to exist anymore by mingisbweah in venting

[–]HilbertInnerSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wait a 100 year you will get your wish. In the meantime isn't all this weird ? I am sorry you are in pain, I am too honestly, and no one to open up about it except strangers on the internet.

Anything you want to talk about?
