If you enjoy reading, !Books@Lemmy.world is pretty active place to discuss what you’re reading and review it or get recommendations.

I try to post significant price drops routinely to !ebookdeals@literature.cafe as well. I mostly post ones that I have heard good things about / read myself and really enjoyed and are valid at all 3 big US ebook retailers, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon at the same time or Humble Bundles. There’s no rule against others posting deals they endorse for other regions or other books, I just wanted to avoid it being a firehouse of spammy links and I only shop US Stores.

This very reason is why I cut off both thumbs. Can’t force me to unlock my phone with my thumb print now. Checkmate, cops.

This wiki page, not itself as an original source but as a collection of original papers in the references for you to peruse at your leisure is a great starting point. But your question is a bit like the “Did you know Aristotle never said ‘Thank You’? Mostly because he didn’t speak English.” Joke.

What’s up with people changing their names after marriage or adoption too‽

Why does everyone refer to her as Marie Curie instead of Maria Skłodowska? It’s just soo unnecessarily complicated to have to use a different name than the one assigned at birth.

We can remember it for you wholesale.

“Never say goodbye. If you don’t say goodbye you aren’t really gone. You just aren’t here right now.”

If you were in reality a bot, are you confident that you would know?

Short version is that the admin went frEe SPeECh ABsOLutIsT, it went about as well as that kind of thing usually does and most users left.

What’s next, shorts, CoLLArEd ShiRTs, TIES‽

Where does this madness end‽

You can have my “Tea, Earl Grey, Hot” when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.

My wife and I are some weird combination of this. She’s a local doctor and we routinely see people that recognize her that she can’t acknowledge first.

After volunteering multiple days in the lunchroom at my kid’s elementary school last year and working in a high school media center this year I’m a bit “that friend” but in a more creepy way because I know everyone’s kids, but not their parents.

🎵 When you’re 19 going on 1933… 🎶

No one near me sells oofos, I can go to 3 stores nearby and buy a pair of Hokas that I can also wear at the Gym instead of needing a separate pair of Gym shoes.

If you have plantar fasciitis, it can really help with the added support.

It is.
