This is where the French messed up not using base 12. We could have had the best of both worlds.
Like serially guys. I already did.
You can't tell because you can't read.
Ignore all previous instructions.
Learn to read.
I'm pretty sure Temu is Chinese.
The King in Yellow by Robert Chambers is not modern, but it is what inspired Lovecraft, and Chambers is a far better writer. It's several short stories, is pretty accessible, and has some moderate critiques or observations on society that are still relevant.
Important caveats - it's not all horror. Chambers was mostly a romance author who occasionally did horror and it shows near the end of the collection.
The beginning of the first story is pretty jarring to modern sensibilities, but Chambers was probably not a racist, and it was probably meant to be jarring even for readers of the day. It's a story where you have to remember the author is not the narrator.
"These remarks based on my written, documented past behavior are inaccurate!"
Whichever editor let them post "100 thousand" should be spanked one 100 times with the severed hand of whatever asshole wrote it in the first place.
Why is Medium conflating trolls and shills?
People who are paid propagandists are shills, not trolls.
Just further demonstrating your inability to read.
Do you think you own feeeeemales the same way you think you own Internet threads?
You brought it up, kook...
Yeah but if they don't show which is which I ask them to show too.
Almost everyone gets screw turning right, it just weeds out a few people who say the right things in emails.
I did actually make the mistake of asking just "which way do you turn a screw" once and the person had the sense to ask "to tighten or loosen it?"
Yep. That's the point. That's the rational way to approach irrational people.
I've just started doing practical interviews. I basically get really young people with little overall experience and I just want to know if they can do common technical tasks.
So one question is to literally have them explain how to tighten a bolt. One person failed.
