Thanks for the effort. I have had links to article from reputable news organizations removed out ou nowhere…

Also, all conversations about the Mangione manifesto bring removes by mods of big Lemmy communities

But this is Lemmy. I thought this place allowed people to exchange about important topics.

Are the doors on the x3000 really just one-person wide or is it a trick of perspective?

Tons of ride sharing apps out there, you should check them out!

I fail successfully every other day, it’s like I was raised that way

Reminds me of this heartbreaking testimony of an Ukrainian woman from Eats Ukraine who wears nice underwear everyday, so that rescuers don’t think ill of her while trying to resuscitate her after a Russian missile attack

Absolutely right. The aim at large was to free the masses from the grip of modern capitalism. The actual targets were mostly unlucky blokes.

It happened in Europe during the “years of lead”, mostly in Italia, France and Germany.

OK, now I get it! Good old capitalism strikes again

I’m out of the loop on this one but I will seize the opportunity to say all the bad things I think about that book.

First, the writing is overly complicated with no other apparent objective than to confuse the reader with extremely long and circumvented sentences.

Second, the story is constantly chopped with long and boring chapters that are solely informative on various aspects of sperm whale anatomy, ecology, behavior (riddled with dated errors andmisinterpretations), as well as whaling specifics, ranging from the work of the carpenter to the process of removing the head of whales.

The first duty of a story is to entertain, its second is to instruct. Good writers manage to do both seamlessly. Melville makes a total messout of it, breaking the fourth wall when explaining how hard it is to collect accurate information, citing his sources in the body of the texte, and completely losing the interest of the reader in the process.

There.

I’m trying to finish it for the sake of it. It is painful.
