We can't do anything about the boat sinking gun, or try and take it away from the boat sinker, because that would be against good decorum. Don't worry though, we've thrown that guy who called the boat sinker a fuckhead off the boat. We have to take the high road and follow the rules or who knows what the boat sinker will do next. We'll calmly convince them to lower the amount of holes they put in the boat while cmpromising by understanding that some of those holes were needed.

Vote for us, and we'll only put a few holes in the boat

Apologies for the ranty nature. I read alot of books sure but my writting is trash

I started reading Sanderson with tress of the emerald sea. It was fantastic and Sandersons style was very catching to me. Recently, I made the decision to read more of his work. Sanderson suggested on his site an order and I started by his suggestion with Mistborn. Absolutely loving it still very catching but, in my opinion, it's much weaker than tress a book he made much later. Just going into the last of the 3 in the apparent first run so I'll be done in about 5 days. Thus, I'm looking for my next few books to read.

My major worry is that it just won't catch with me. If I start a book that's reasonably good but doesn't pull me back in I find myself failing to read it or anything else for quite some time. I essentially took a 6 month reading hiatus when I read Lessons in birdwatching a good, though very flawed, book. I'd do 20-50 pages a month with that book. Before I was reading daily for a few years, and after I've been doing the same, but sometimes I just find a book I won't give up and can't find myself excited to read.

He states that his suggestion to start with mistborn comes from the fact that he finds elantris to be weaker. With this in mind I'd like to know if it'd be worth it to skip the book, read the wiki or some synopsis, and move on to his more recent work. With nearly 600 pages that book would take 3-6 days of reading depending on how well it catches.

Is this sacrilege? Is the writing a serious downgrade for somebody who liked very much liked mistborn though thought it weak at times?

The authors great though. The guys got me planning to read what I asssume is magi-punk from the cover art for mistborn 4 which is not something I'd do normally

The real reason was a boring one and seemingly unrelated to that file. I just ran out of disk space. Still though, that’s not exactly a helpful error is it

Yeah I'm not paying attention to that election shit till tomorrow. If I'm tempted I'll remember I have to stir my chilli.

I'd love to know any tips or suggestions you all have for homemade "no way in hell I'm watching that shit right now" chilli.

Gonna slowly simmer for 4 hours stirring every 5 minutes. Adding cocoa to the mix as I've heard it helps

That mascot is a child. Please don't make porn of fictional children even if you disagree with the politics or religion of that fictional child you're making porn out of. Child porn is a bad thing

Why this community?

In 8 days inktober starts. I'd like to have a place were people can see others results and discuss their experience daily. After failing to find a community for this event I've created one myself. I'd love to hear peoples thoughts on how this should run though.

What is inktober?

Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills. Every day, there’s a prompt which everyone will draw with either ink on paper or digital inking. You may also dedicate yourself to a half marathon style Inktober by inking every second day.

To be discussed:

My suggestion is that we have a daily round up thread where yesterdays art is collected in one place and, if wanted, vote on our favorite piece to be included at the end of the month in a "community favorites" meta post.

Any suggestion on how this should be run, anything we can do to make this more fun, or something not listed would be greatly appreciated.

Want to help the community?

I'll admit, I don't have the most time. I'd heavily appreciate it if some of you would be willing to become mods so you can make the daily roundup post, pin it, unpin yesterdays, and update a list of these posts. Of course, enforcing the rules and cleaning up spam would also be kind but I understand we all have time issues

22

This is a place to share your Inktober pieces and to discuss the the prompt, event, or anything related to inking. See this post for more information:

https://sh.itjust.works/post/25621677

Strictly positive as the point is to force ourselves to do this daily with the hope of improving our skills through repetition. Constructive criticism welcome if you can phrase if positively.

Discussion post is live with the intent of talking about how this should be run with my current goals. Feel free to join up and hope into the discussion.

This is the perfect opportunity to recreationally infect yourself with rare short term diseases. Try breaking your arm or nose so you have a story. Self harm has never been so cheap.

Edit: See evasive_chimpanzee's comment here, as the following seems to be incorrect information

Seriously though get checked for prostate cancer. Especially if you're over 25 it's very possible and catching it early will be a massive difference.

Same for everyone reading this. I doubt it's that expensive so please look into it and get checked if affordable where you are.

Don't worry guys, the judge offered to be that girl's mentor. Asked her parents and all, so he sees no problem with this usage of power. You can absolutely trust him to be alone with a child and "teach her right"

Aww, it's always sad to see a real one go. You'll always be in my mind linux 6.9.x (nice)

That guy in the bottom doesn't want to eat the rich, he's an anarcho capitalist. He wants microsoft to be free from those pesky regulations stopping it from collecting and selling every tiny piece of information it can get it's hands on

Good luck man, you're about to learn how easy it is to get banned on those free speech alternatives. Still funny though.

Be careful however. No matter what, you're still just a brain in a flesh jar. You are susceptible to false information and lies as your brain can't really differentiate between false and correct info that well.

You are not immune to propaganda

Created a while ago from a DnD session where the PC's were stalking a leonin man meeting some friends in a shifty alley, beside a bar using krita along with it's perspective tools. Using Muses brush pack, I'll send a link if requested. Very nice pencil and charcoal brushes.

The concept

A streamed reading club focused on rusts The Book and becoming reasonably good rust developers through community collaboration. If you're interested, please comment so we know this's something you'd like to join in on.

A Begining

To begin, I'll be setting up a twitch stream where we read through the book together and solve some problems together related to the concepts provided. We'll be able to collaborate in chat, and talk about it here after each stream. This way, we'll be able to lean on each other or just hang out while we learn the language Lemmy uses for it's backend. Other hosts will be welcome as the end goal is to create a group of people whose goal is to support our collective growth as developers

Anybodies welcome of any skill set, whether or not they want to continue on once we get to lemmys code base. If you're completely new to rust this is a great place to start and if you already know the language we'd love to have you all the more. At the very least it's a good networking opportunity but you'll likely learn more than you thought.

Timing

Please comment your availability so we can find the best time and day to do this. As a stand-in and default though, 6:30pm EST (New York Time) on tuesday will be the start time. I'd be available on most days myself after 5pm Eastern Time (new york) though so don't hesitate to suggest another time/date.

Where?

For now, I'll be streaming this on a twitch channel I created a bit ago but never used. The link is here: https://www.twitch.tv/deerfromsmoke

Thank you @morrowind@lemmy.ml for the idea.

69 percent of overworked, underpayed employees stop giving the corporation all their energy days before their boss finally recognizes their inherent value, gives them a raise, and the respect they deserve. It's sad ain't it?
