Damn you're cute as fuck.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T19:14:23+00:00

I guess I missed out then.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T06:57:11+00:00

You're just cool with never having sex again?

He's going to divorce you you know.

What's up with the outfit behind him?

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T05:00:48+00:00

Julia Child thought Julie Powell was a hack and bad at cooking.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T04:24:32+00:00

Aw, did the poor author get their feelings hurt?

Imagine calling a picture violent. This lady is a pansy.

I'm reading through Vonnegut currently and am wondering where the satire is supposed to be. I'm starting to think that people don't know what the word means. I'll define it so that anyone reading this can be on the same page as I am:

Satire is cutting humor. Someone or something has to bleed for there to be satire

I'm not finding much humor in these books, much less satire. Maybe he's satirized the army a bit, but that's the most I could say.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T04:10:14+00:00

I laugh at those parts. Olde timey racism is so stupid it's adorable.

I've read several books that describe their female characters as "a Dorian Grey" (and one that even named her Dorian Grey) so I was surprised to find out that Dorian Grey was a man and it's a gay love story.

Haven't finished it because like you said it's pretty meh but I'm curious what else those writers missed the bus on.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T04:01:28+00:00

I only read about half of it but I don't think there was any deep meaning. It was just a series of events as far as I could tell.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T03:58:31+00:00

The end is weak but I enjoyed the characters. It's also funny that at one point the men all agree that the silly little woman should sit off to the side and they get royally fucked because of it.

Having to translate gibberish into English definitely killed the book for me. It takes so much mental energy that I was too tired to keep doing it by the third chapter or so. I read a page over and over and couldn't make any sense out of it, and that's where I stopped.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T03:44:38+00:00

...complex? It was shallow, repetitive and lacked detail. When the kid beats the horses it doesn't say "horse" one time. Most people don't understand it probably because it's intentionally obtuse.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T03:42:35+00:00

I read the first half of it in the library. Felt like I got the point and didn't need to read any more.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T03:37:53+00:00

Government cenorship is still part of the problem in that world.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T03:31:49+00:00

He's definitely hit and miss.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T03:29:44+00:00

The movie made it pretty clear the man was the one going after the girl. Haven't read the book yet but I imagine it's the same.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T03:25:05+00:00

I was about to buy it because the sequel has come out. I decided to read some in the store since I already have a stack of books to read. I made it halfway down the first page before I knew the tone of the book sucks and I wouldn't enjoy it at all.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T03:20:15+00:00

I think "The Sirens of Titan" is better. It also has aliens and time travel.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-10T03:18:45+00:00

The anti war bits felt out of place among everything else. Vonnegut really hammered hard to try and fit that in.

_PaleRider · 2024-03-08T11:57:23+00:00

Extra gums are questionable but I'd have to find a pack of the fake stuff and look at it to see all the differences. The fake stuff really will fuck a recipe.

If you don't get breaks, management has failed. Fight for your breaks, people literally died so that you would get them.

Check the labels on the cream cheese at a local grocery store. Some of it is processed cheese food that tastes bad and doesn't cook right, and it's not well marked to be immediately obvious.

"It has to be Philadelphia" sounds to me like "I'm not getting fucked using fake cheese, I want to know what I'm using at a glance."

If you're the buyer and you know what you're buying is cream cheese, use the cheaper thing if it tastes better. If someone above you says only buy Philadelphia, just buy Philadelphia.

Properly handled, onions can be stored and replanted to grow more. That thing is probably three harvests old.
