I read the entire Dune series on my phone, laying on my belly, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I did it with an app called eBoox, which reads different formats, making it very practical.

Reading gooner “literature” needs to be shamed, at least when it’s read in public. It shouldn’t be as popular as it is, I’ll tell you that.
It’s hard to pick one between ELO, Jamiroquai, the Bee Gees and Linkin Park.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Should paternity tests be done right after a baby is born so the supposed father can be sure he’s the biological dad before any legal recognition?
4·2 days agoIt should be offered IMO (and definitely not made illegal), but not mandatory. If the truth destroys something, it just wasn’t meant to be.

World News@lemmy.world•Japan visitors fall for first time in four years as Chinese stay awayEnglish
58·2 days agoJapan has shown their true colours and they’re not any better than the Americans. The only difference is time: the Japanese are broken, conquered imperialists.

World News@lemmy.world•Japan visitors fall for first time in four years as Chinese stay awayEnglish
820·2 days agoIt’s literally a part of China that was conquered by the Japanese and then by the Americans when they took over Japan. This is pretty straightforward.

World News@lemmy.world•Marco Rubio says Viktor Orbán’s leadership is ‘essential’ to US interestsEnglish
14·2 days agoJust like the American coup of Ukraine and the following war. Too many Europeans are very “Russia bad, gringos good!” and bloodthirsty so the war will continue. 😔
When I was a kid, my friends would all come to my house and yell until I came outside… Many Westerners today are simply broken.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What tourist destinations do you think are NOT overrated?
4·2 days agoThe Alhambra is just majestic. By far my favourite palace in Europe and that counts the ones in France (I haven’t explored the German ones yet though). Spain as a whole is a very culturally rich country.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•A strong work ethic at the office is considered good, while a strong work ethic at your hobby is considered bad.
1·2 days agoDepends on the work and depends on the hobby. I’d rather have a lazy ICE agent than a motivated one. It’s also better to put in more effort into not-for-profit activities like volunteering than in painting figurines or collecting Labubus, for instance, as the former is productive and edifying whilst the latter are not. Wouldn’t say it’s “bad”, but certainly a bit of a waste of time at the very least. And hey, I play videogames, sometimes obsessively so, so it’s not like I don’t know what I’m talking about or I’m just being unfairly, hypocritically judgmental, it’s just what it is.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you learn to be happy by yourself?
2·2 days agoAs a man, I think you can be somewhat fulfilled living a sort of monk-lite ascetic life, although it’s not for most. It goes like this, though, for both fulfilment and growth: good company >> no company > bad company. There’s no need to give up on getting the first option if you haven’t tried in earnest and with adequate knowledge, IMO.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Anyone else having issues with YouTube right now?English
2·2 days agoIn the UK and yeah, had to reinstall YT Revanced and everything just in case and it did help a bit but it’s not perfect still.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s the most unhinged thing someone’s ever told you?
13·2 days agoThat’s a nice compliment, lol.
I guess the story wouldn’t have worked otherwise so yeah, he’d just be delusional in that case.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Yes this year is going to be really good and productive
4·2 days agoI heard that one before and was even shown an agenda that said “bump salary by X” (might have been a passing thought at some point, lol) but by then I had already made my decision. They’re bloodsuckers. 😞

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I heard we're doing leftist infighting just in time for six months of primaries plus another three months of general election wind-up
15·2 days agoThis doesn’t mean anything relevant. I’d rather you said something like “some words have lost any solid meaning”.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s the most unhinged thing someone’s ever told you?
14·2 days agoStay unserious, I guess. 🤷

There’s a difference between writing things to satisfy a “healthy sexual appetite” and some of the honestly disgusting and insane things that get published. I guess I’m more against literary depravity (like shit involving falling in love with your rapist or family stuff, many Wattpad stories are like that) than I am against just erotica.
