One of my books features an immortal protagonist and I've as such thought about this quite a bit. More than the answers already provided here, what I found interesting as a writer was the balance I needed to find between making an immortal detached from mortal values while still being engaging to mortal readers.

Said as a pithy question, if you can outlive everyone's decisions and mistakes, what would it take to make you do anything at all?

I wrote a story that features such an entity and what was interesting about it to me was how even the slightest glimmer of life beyond their void would lead to an all-consuming desire to experience "living" again.

People are scared to death to talk about their company publicly because we are trained to have that fear.

It's pretty wild how ingrained it can be and how much power it gives the company to do whatever they want with no fear of consequences.

There is a cute formulaic way active LinkedIn users frame every post.

Let me tell you about my motivational story. I overcame extreme difficties in order to achieve more for my career in two short weeks using the Bernard Technique...

Five paragraphs of heart wrenching guilt for the benefit of the company later and you're being sold a premium course to find similar fulfillment from your life and job!

I've heard that meme over on EU as well!

I'm more in favor for jp these days though. I find the running around with oppo leaves people disoriented even if no one dies.

That confusion then bleeds into the next mechanics.

It's The Todd isn't it?

 

Hey lemmings!

I'm looking to get a new laptop in the near future but I keep getting lost in the details of what is good versus what I'd need.

I'm not really a gamer and already have a console for most games, but would like something that can at least run something like league of legends.

I also would be doing some light video editing but even so I don't think I'd need some top of the line cutting edge option.

So I thought I'd ask Lemmy for their thoughts on what's a good general purpose/workish laptop in 2023!

It is pretty wild to think about how many people only know the internet as about 5 websites or apps..

I was looking forward to the conclusion of the story and felt a little let down as well. I understand the idea though, they wanted to tie up some of the dangling leftover loose ends.

So there were answers, but it lacked a certain satisfying catharsis. At least for me.

I feel like this impacted the theming of Anabaseios the most where it all seemed very sudden. Like a TLDR with a lot of hand waving.

It wasn't bad mind you and I probably simply set my expectations too high!

I've been meaning to check this out! It sounds so cool and possibly interacts with other fediverse things?

 

P9s has 2 main strats for lc1 and it looks like jp strat is taking over pf (at least on European servers).

Which do you prefer?

Do you know when 0.18 will be out?

I've had a similar issue. I think it's tied to how posts seemingly endlessly rain in. Probably will be fixed in the next update, but I'm not sure when exactly that will happen.
