I thought House of Leaves dragged on, but I think the confusion was kind of the story too, you know? You have this scenario going on in the book, and the book itself has you looking left right up down here and there for the context.

I think that’s the point too, you know? His writing style acts as a literary device in and of itself. It’s not always like that, but when it’s like that I feel it helps drive home the scene.
And I say that while I agree 100% that it’s hard to read.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•"But she's actually 1000 years old, only looks 9"
121·1 day agoFor real, I felt so lost reading that comment. And that’s okay.
Self-inflicted oppression is like autoerotic asphyxiation.
For real, people try their absolute hardest to be miserable, instead of trying half as hard to be not miserable.
We all get it, shit kinda sucks now. Talk about other stuff sometimes.
Yeah, a million ain’t getting you two chicks at the same time anymore.

Books@lemmy.world•What’s the worst proofreading you’ve found in a book?

News@lemmy.world•Michigan Nurse Chloe Freeman Prosecuted After Helping Patient Escape ICE
21·6 days agoI’m confused by the whole “fault” thing. I EMT’d for about a decade, and there were times we had police escorts, and they’d absolutely come all the way in and stay with the patient the whole time. Just my experience, and maybe I’m confused by the point you’re making.
That being said, the hospital is private property. The hospital presumably has an understanding, and it may be written and memorialized in some sort of agreement, that cops are welcome on the property, in the same way just about anyplace that exists in society does. Maybe not a private residence, but anywhere public may go.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•So many people want to pretend to be artists and musicians using AI, which shows how actually important and wanted the arts in schools is.
5·8 days agoI think this is it. I don’t think people are making music for the love of the art and all that. I think they’re taking a shortcut to potentially produce some sort of side hustle. It’s presumably a “make a song that sounds like a mix between artist X and artist Y,” and then a fine tuning via prompts from there. We live in a generation of hustles and influencers, and AI is great for both of those things. Those things are, unfortunately, just terrible for society on the whole.
It’s cool though, it’ll all come to a head, and we’ll see what happens!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most horribly aged comedy film of the 2000's?
2·12 days agoI watched Waiting not too long ago, for the first time since it came out probably, and they use some of the classic early 'oughts terms that we don’t use anymore. Often.

IASIP is IASIP and it would be wrong for the show not to have some very offensive racial jokes.

2·12 days agoYeah, Tom Green was fantastic, and his humor was always so much more than on the surface.


Is there something wrong with the things you’re washing? Don’t create a problem, if things are getting washed, not shrinking, not falling apart, and everything is just fine, just consider that the machine is working as intended, which seems to be the case.
