    Rule number 1 reads loud an clear. Keep it Cozy, no biggitry.

    I say federate, and anyone violating that rule can have their comment delete with a warning. If it persists, ban the user. If this becomes an overwhelming issue, defederate.

    (I'm biased as I think defederation breaks lemmy into smaller, weaker, and more boring communities).

    I think a number of people like to troll just a little at least, but I don't think most people make it their whole persona. I suspect we may get some trolls who would genuinely like a community about books.

    Maybe I'm an optimist, but I think it's at least worth a try.

  • Racism at heart of US failure to tackle deadly heatwaves, expert warns

    I think that's a retarded, click-baity title for the article. Corporate greed, and energy consumption in the name of economic progress is clearly the cause of the issue.

    Failure to tackle heat waves is another issue, you can cool down the outside as nearly as well as an office building.

    After that, rules that have blatant disregarded for people working outside isn't racism, it's just not giving a fuck about others, and wanting to limit regulation in the name of cutting red tape. Lacking empathy doesn't make you racist, it's just being an asshole, plane and simple.

    Nothing! I'm like 80% of the way though Oathbringer (book thee of the storm light archive), but I haven't listened to it in about two weeks.

    I recently hiked Mt Major, and ended up listening to podcasts instead of my audio books.

    Man I'm just working though ticket after ticket at work. On my lunch break right now, and I think I've got over 12 hours of billable work so far. I want to retire.

    I know nothing about nobel prize people, as I primarily stick to picture books. Nor do I follow European politics, as I'm a freedom loving American.

    Who is David Wallace, and what fascist government did he support?

  • My favorite fan fiction is Dreaming of Sunshine, by Silver Queen. But there's also The Howling Wind The Girl from the Whirlpool Black Cloaks, Red Clouds Ibiki's Apprentice The Sun Soul In The Box The first five are Naruto Fanfics. If you've never watched Naruto the only one you'll have problems with is Dreaming of Sunshine, the following three diverge from Cannon quite a bit, and tell their own unique stories that completely surpass the cannon. I highly recommend them, as they read better than some books I've read. Ibiki's Apprentice is a cute one chapter short, you'll find it funny. The Sun Soul is a pokemon fanfic that once again diverges from the cannon quite a bit, I was a big fan, but it's been a while since I've read it. In The Box is another once chapter short, it's a Firefly fanfic, it's cute and funny. If you don't like it, I don't like you.

    It's like the hunger games on Mars, in my opinion. It's probably been over five years since I gave up on it, but I recall it being a self insert character.

    I can't remember if it was bad plot, unexplainable character decisions, or straight up bad dialogue that mad me hate it so. I'll see if I can dig up an old reddit comment.

    Yo!

    I'm going by Kaladin, as I've been loving my Storm light archive re-read. I've been enjoying Sandersons work for maybe 5 years now.

    My go to is Sci-fi and Fantasy, but I'll take nonfiction if the subject interests me. I also struggle to sit down and read, so my list of read books is a little basic.

    I also fucking hate red rising, I've literally read Naruto fanfiction that was better.
