For me, it’s nice to just have a short chuckle once a day while browsing. I suspect many feel the same way.

There’s nothing wrong with your way, but it requires more effort. I would love if you or somebody did it, but until that happens the low effort daily post will have to do.

Cmon, I’ve blocked all the meme and shitposting communities. Why am I still seeing this post?!

Oh, because it was good enough that I subscribed to it instead. Right.

I’m a Buddhist, and I’m so confused by this analogy 😂

Thank you for being the case in point

"Being a public skatepark, there is quite a lot of graffiti all over the place. It is to be expected and in most places, it is actually encouraged.

Graffiti is 90% of the time an eyesore. Yeah 10% of the time it looks amazing, but most of the time it’s just stupid tags and offensive words.

"I have heard rumours since that some rude words were written somewhere on the floor, but it was done in kids’ chalk that washes away with rain so, technically and legally, it isn’t even graffiti.

If you didn’t even know the slurs were there, how do you know it was done in kids’ chalk? Wishful thinking?

Is something wrong with your website https?

And given how Molly is hitting on him and he makes it very clear to her that it’s not gonna happen, ever, I believe he doesn’t deserve the label. We judge people by their actions, not by the private thoughts in their minds. We can’t control our thoughts, only our actions.

I doubt the pedo label applies. What does he do or say that would justify calling him that? I’m guessing you’ve never actually read the story?

I can think of quite a few women in the series who aren’t sexually interested in Harry. Probably more than actually are interested in him, when I think about it. So calling it ‘every single woman’ is definitely a stretch

Honestly, has Harry actually done anything creepy? The point is that if we look at only his behaviour, he’s basically a goody two shoes. It’s only if you look within his thoughts that you see the demons within. Which he manages to keep well leashed

Unreliable narrator isn’t the way I’d put it. See https://www.reddit.com/r/dresdenfiles/comments/10vlsra/harry_is_not_an_unreliable_narrator/. It’s, as you say, Harry’s perspective. Yes, we may not agree with it, but I can’t say I find it unrealistic given the genre and his personal history.

In fact, I find it an intriguing moral discussion. Do we judge Harry for his private thoughts, or for his actions? In the real world, the answer would obviously be actions. We are none of us fully in control of our thoughts or urges. The fact that he behaves as a gentleman at all times should be lauded. Instead, many readers seem to think that he should be pure in heart and soul, and hold him to an unreasonably high moral standard.

It’s nothing to do with the app, most likely. Did you not read any of the other comments in that thread

The books are meant to be read in chronological order, which is publication order for the novels. The short stories can be inserted into the chronological order, or skipped until you’ve read all the novels.

There are two schools of opinion on where to start. His first few books are the weakest, and Jim himself recommends skipping them and starting at Grave Peril. Others recommend just going in at the start so you can meet characters as they’re introduced.

It’s an in-character perspective of Dresden, meant to be a character quirk. Jim writes short stories from other perspectives without the same issues, and none of his other series have it either. Unfortunately many readers confuse character perspective with author opinion.

Thanks? Can’t quite tell if you’re sincere or implying I’m not Chinese. Sorry, Internet and nuance at odds again. FWIW, English was my first language.

Nuclear is just not economical enough to be part of a sustainable energy system.

It’s chicken and egg. We have no experience building nuclear on budget because nuclear is too expensive.
