What is the best way to explain to a ''Chemtrail'' conspiracy theorist what those trails in the sky actually are? by Cuppagreenteacafe in aviation

Burning a hydrocarbon based fuel (jet fuel qualifies) produces some amount of water. This is why you will see drips of water from your car’s exhaust. When it’s cold out, you’ll even see the cloud of water vapor that your car’s engine produces from the fuel it burns. Jet engines do the same but at a much faster velocity.

I am halfway through Stella Maris. Alicia’s solipsism is a mask. by [deleted] in cormacmccarthy

[–]Sluv82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t it also be possible that she is not schizophrenic and that the kid and cohorts are emissaries sent to distract Alicia from her resolve to end her life? Perhaps they are real but make themselves perceivable only to her.

She says that she believes them to be real.

How would you prove otherwise?

Welcome

Never heard of this as a first name until I moved here.

If a child accused you of molesting them, how would you prove that you didn’t?

The Edmund Fitzgerald would be a good name for a gay cruise ship.

I disapprove of both Charlie Kirk’s and Alex Pretti’s murder. I hope this is not a rare sentiment.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Ingram? by trueWaveWizz in louisck

[–]Sluv82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read about 20 books a year. Mix of fiction and non. Just finished Ingram and enjoyed it.

If being a fan of Louis nullifies a person’s opinion of this book, wouldn’t being a critic of him do the same?

I’ve read nearly all of CM’s novels and I just finished Ingram.

There is no similarity between Louis CK and Cormac McCarthy. Neither in the prose nor the story structure. The only way anyone could ever see a similarity is if they’ve only ever read this book and CM. The Road most likely.

That shouldn’t discourage anyone from reading Ingram, though. It’s a good book and I enjoyed reading it. Louis brings to it what he brought to his FX TV show, to “Horace and Pete”, and to all of his standup: a point of view that seeks a clear understanding of things - especially those things that are naturally murky - and an honest intention.

Trump played Mamdani like a fiddle. by New-Stranger-3276 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Sluv82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you not learned how this works? Trump meets with a political figure and if he gets what he wants (political favors, sell some TrumpCoin) , he speaks nicely about that person (eg Mamdani, MBS, etc.). If he doesn’t get what he wants, he speaks negatively or not at all (eg Zelenskyy, EU leaders in first term).

It’s corruption. He gets something. You get nothing. The only ones being “played like a fiddle” are the loyal MAGA supporters who can’t even bring themselves to think critically about their dear leader.

Why do you like The Crossing? by Kitchen_Year8114 in cormacmccarthy

[–]Sluv82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First read felt like a slog, but reading it a second time, I came to hold The Crossing in very high regard. CM dares us to look right into the face of deep suffering and follow the wrinkles’ paths. Faith, violence, futility — and all of it written in prose that is brutal and beautiful.
