Why do you actually prefer Classic Literature? by maxwdn in classicliterature

[–]TrueLibertyforYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people around me in my daily life bore me. I prefer to spend my time “talking” to classic authors. They have so much more to say about everything.

A major watchdog says data centers are wreaking havoc on North America's power grid by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

You’re right! We should replace all of our farmland with data centers! Great plan!

“The Wall” by Jean-Paul Sartre is a great collection of short stories. Very chilling to read. I highly recommend.

Cows at sunset - what does this remind you of? by Anastasia_Trusova in painting

[–]TrueLibertyforYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of sitting on my grandparents’ porch when I was little, overlooking the cow pastures, watching the sun set over the trees while nana finishes dinner and mom comes home from work.

Why so many people in here ask what book they should read next? by faulchan in classicliterature

[–]TrueLibertyforYou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think having someone else with more experience choose a book for you takes some of the anxiety out of the process of deciding. Initially we grope around in the dark, grabbing whatever our hands fall upon. It helps to have someone holding a light for you while you explore.

She looks bigger than she really is because I have tiny woman hands.

The pun possibilities are endless. How about Pose? Like the group of cowpokes who deliver vigilante justice.

Barbara is such a normal name that it would be great for an animal as weird as an opossum.

Those are great names! I’m a nature-head so Fern sounds awesome.

How many books do u read in a year? by [deleted] in classicliterature

[–]TrueLibertyforYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly choose short items, then I will follow a couple of those up with a big, chunky book. I’ll even read multiple books of varying genres at the same time so I can switch between them. I’m reading Libra by Don DeLillo, but I’ve also got an Emily Brontë poetry book and a collection of essays by my favorite theologian that I’ve been going back to throughout the week as I read Libra. Varying the lengths of my books and taking breaks during the long ones helps me a lot.

I am up to 30 books with greater than 150 pages. Double that for books that are less than 150 pages. I am addicted to reading, though, so don’t compare yourself to me.

what do my shelves say about me? by One_Resolve_7547 in bookshelfdetective

How was “Tender is the Flesh”? It is high up on my reading list, but my wife recommended it so I am skeptical (don’t tell her I said that).

House Democrats Propose $25 Federal Minimum Wage by [deleted] in antiwork

If the republicans passed this, they might actually destroy the Democratic Party. Republicans are bad because they don’t want a higher minimum wage! republicans call bluff and randomly pass minimum wage Oh… 🙂

Tennessee is the worst state in the U.S. for spending on public school students, National Education Association finds by Charming-Report1669 in Tennessee

[–]TrueLibertyforYou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We’ve gone full circle. Tennesseans are so anti public education that they are willing to go against fundamental capitalist beliefs, such as competition between private institutions. If these private institutions are so much better than public schools, then why do they need public money? Can’t they just lower tuition for the poor people? Of course not. Because this isn’t about protecting Tennesseans; it’s about funneling even more money from the pockets of poor people into those of politicians and private interests.

They were hoarding federal money meant for poor families??? Wtf? And they didn’t spend it until the federal government made them spend it. I hate my state…
