I haven't read the book either but I heard this Lolita podcast series and it was a great breakdown about how it was misinterpreted. I couldn't believe everything I knew about it from mainstream media was off.

Will definitely be checking out your video!

Whenever I hear about moths, I think about the moth scene in Lost between Charlie and Locke: https://youtu.be/kmXV5iOncT8?si=Wh_d_RCkKiclyiYF

I actually still like some LTT videos. I just find the thumbnails off-putting ... so unless the topic interests me I don't typically watch anymore.

I really enjoyed the Emily/Anthony bits too.

Key swing state voters are apparently idiots.

(for some nostalgic Discovery vibes)

Rogue One blew my mind. Absolutely loved it.

I know it's probably an unpopular opinion but I liked Solo too. The parts I didn't enjoy were the callbacks and stuff. I didn't need to see all those, but I watched it twice and didn't regret it.

I hate the Steam Deck! /s

I mean, I'm half joking but I used to sleep in bed and now I waste like 2-3 hours on Balatro instead of falling asleep at an appropriate hour.

Go for a walk in the mornings if a run is too daunting. Gradually go up.

A problem I had is I'm too dedicated to some things and will run a lot and then injure myself by going too often or beyond what my body is capable of instead of ramping up in a healthy way. Then I wind up doing nothing again due to injury.

I think a lot of these "cab companies" use the tips to pay the drivers now and take more for themselves.

It's okay, it's hydro powered.

I love the 24 hour clock and living in London, UK I used it all the time. However, I remember one time I bought movie tickets at lunch for 17:30 and my brain thought it was for 7:30pm and I called my friend at the last moment saying: "you have to leave work early if we're gonna make it!"

I don't know why in sci-fi or other fiction, I love it when they use Terra. Not sure why I find that more believable.

Just like how the Supreme Court justices wouldn't take away Roe V Wade .....

I just bought it based on this alone. Early-access and FPS games aren't typically my thing, but I like the cut of this person's jib.

Yeah, a lot of true crime involves grisly stuff and sometimes violent towards women that I sometimes need things packaged up nicer to get through an entire video.

I've watched so much Blippi after taking care of my nephews. It made me appreciate the Wiggles afterwards.

Most people know now, but for those that don't:

It says it's attributed to Ernest Hemingway but that claim seems unlikely.

The claim of Hemingway's authorship originates in an unsubstantiated anecdote about a wager among him and other writers. Hemingway is said to have claimed he could write a short story only six words short. In a 1991 letter to Canadian humorist John Robert Colombo, science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke recounts: "He's [Hemingway] supposed to have won a $10 bet (no small sum in the '20s) from his fellow writers. They paid up without a word. ... Here it is. I still can't think of it without crying— FOR SALE. BABY SHOES. NEVER WORN."[1]

I wonder how his listeners can keep hearing this same message for years?

It's great but I've had greater sensitivity in my finger tips after trying to get used to it. Then typing hurt so I had to switch to a trackball and just regular vertical mouse. I miss the gestures for virtual desktops.

I'd have loved it if Conan O'Brien and an Andy/Jordan combo.

Conan has the loving meanness you need for a taskmaster.
