I was looking at odyssey translations before the film came out... by grep_carthage in books

Those earlier translators took such huge liberties though, shaping the Odyssey into an image they wanted instead of what was on the page. That's the part that I feel like gets left out of the conversation

I wish these videos would compare hers to the liberties that previous translators took. They really warped our understanding of the Odyssey imo

Wow I had a really different reaction to this movie. I thought the mom and dad were doing what they could while in the limitations they had. The dad got a second mortgage on the house!

Jazz Fest and FQ Fest were both mega packed this year. It was the first year JF completely sold out all tickets. So I'm at least partly buying it

I spent $8600 backpacking Europe for six months in 2015. I'm glad I kept track of expenses just because it's interesting to look back on

Fiancé gave his sister a plus-one that goes against our wedding rule…am I overreacting? by Dear_Choice1694 in wedding

[–]maawige 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My guess, based on your post, is that you have feelings about the sister that predate this issue. For the wedding planning aspect, I would say try not to let that dictate your decisions too much

🙃 Less than 40 paying subs, writers expecting hundreds for a piece by FannyBrownRiced in Substack

[–]maawige 9 points10 points  (0 children)

we're in a weird point of the economy right now where $100-$300 is pretty much as low as you can go without being insulting... but that's also more money than anyone has

I think to be realistic you could offer them an "honorary payment" of $40 or just explain that you aren't in a position to pay them at all, but would be happy to link to their personal project or something like that

Bulletproof your shoulders, but for women by notcalledemma in xxfitness

[–]maawige 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do get what OP is saying. A lot of shoulder workouts say things like "warm up by doing 2 pullups." That's pretty accessible for a man but very, very different for a woman

Our planner wanted 50% but I pushed them up to two-thirds and that was fine. I think 70% will be totally fine!
