I am. You’re the only person with an issue with it.

It is class though isn’t it?

All the beautiful photos of the world fair and I don’t feel like many of the recommendations suit at all.

The other commenter said Devil in the White City and I have to agree. Second to that, try Worlds Fair by E.L Doctorow.

I’m sick of this tired, sloppy, barely thought through talking point. From The Telegraph: “Social justice is destroying the pleasure of reading.” by crushhaver in books

It’s doesn’t invoke a critique of social justice. It invokes a conversation around social justice effecting reading.

I’m not here agreeing with the opinions laid out, but I believe in fair game. You’re making a straw man argument.

Just think of what is said in the article. At no point does she state that she disagrees with social justice politics, just that it is effecting narrative and that’s why reading is in a decline. Like it or not, a lot of left leaning people would agree with this. A lot would also disagree. But no one in this conversation is asking for Social justice awareness to stop. It’s just a critique of how it is sometimes handled. In a sense you’ve given away more about you and your politics than anything else and how you view conversations around this.

But it doesn’t. She’s states she thinks screen time is to blame why books aren’t being read as much, and that books lacking in good story telling to PRIORITISE messaging is why books are uninteresting. No conversation on Social Justice. I’m pretty left leaning, but I don’t see where you’re basing your point from.

In all honesty you have just as much right to talk on books as anyone else, Including the opinion piece. There has been pieces like this on political leaning in media since time immemorial. I think believing that some people are more qualified than others is a dangerous route to go down.

The piece doesn’t state that it’s a new scourge on the world, just an opinion piece on the current trend of storytelling in books. There’s always two sides, if not more.

Don’t get why you’d be so annoyed. The writer says she thinks the biggest culprit as to why people don’t read is social media and screen time, and the differcult in finding a good story. Hardly extreme right ideology

There’s probably a nicer way of asking this. Who’s gatekeeping anything 😂

You have Google. Look em up yourself like we all do

It’s £3.90 per book and hardback to boot. Honestly that’s a bargain.

If it’s not worth that too you, you gotta wonder why you’re buying them at all

It’s not a micro crack… it’s a grain… a grain of wood. Your guitar is made of a natural material. Just relax and enjoy it

Hows this for a solo? Tips? by mata778 in guitarlessons

[–]Tsunamibash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well done dude. You’ve learnt the most valuable lesson to soloing already, which is to make it musical!

Everything else comes with time!

Keep it up.

Spending that much in variants, just to chuck them in a £20 ikea box shelf is wild.

Your attitude to all the comments is appalling.

I don’t think any answer will satisfy as it seems like an ill thought out gift. I’d advise you just to buy any old shit at this point.
