I’ve only read the two, but I remember being skeeved out when I read it and feeling very validated when I read Galatea.

I think Richard Powers is a sex weirdo who comes up with elaborate novel structures to contain his tulpa gf’s in. I was really put off by the woman in the last short story who goes from bimbo to sexy ghost. That felt prototypical for how he sees women. He also admits to stalking and creeping on one of his grad students in his autofiction Galatea 2.2. The short stories were beautiful but the novel itself felt poorly executed with a lot of cut plot threads.
sounds nice. very fragrant
such an awful thing doesn’t need to be made to high standrads.
please do everything you can to sink that island into the sea. this is henois.
Ultimate B-egg-el: everything bagel, garden veggie cream cheese, slice of sharp cheddar cheese, pickled beets, sprouts, arugula, it’s friday would you like a fried egg, vinagrette.
It seems like a lot of things you want to do on your phone are unnecessary. Why not just use the banking websites in your browser at home? Why not just keep a paper calendar?
Well you see the president is elected democratically unlike in Germany where the Nazis were never…oh…
This is like the last 2008 style meme produced
Yee I have a $20 tracfone lol.
This sounded like something I would be excited about but damn we got different ideas of ‘low-price’.
you are a brain dead child.
Strongly encourage you to find work in a conservation corps or similar organization if they exist in your country and you are able to do manual labor. You would be on a crew of 6-15 people usually living out at a field site for 1-2 weeks at a time, cooking and living and working together to improve the natural environment or recreation infrastructure. Hard rewarding work, good peaceful downtime. Great chance to read a lot of books too since you will be away from computers and modernity.
I rely on medicine that only lasts about 4 weeks without refrigeration. None of these fetish scenarios are relevant to me.

IF your goal is just to keep your head down and keep a paycheck, your goal is to 1) keep up the appearance of business and 2) be easy to manage. As long as none of you behavior reaches your direct report, you’re golden. Try to find someone more experienced with you to show you the ropes and never ask your manager for clarification or support except when absolutely necessary. Instead, rely on your coworkers to train you and try to find some way to make things equitable with them.
Bonus points if you can find what metrics your manager is measured on and work a little to butter their bread. Eventually, you will figure out which areas you can do the bare minimum in and spend the least total amount of energy for the most job security and likelihood of a raise. Do not work yourself to the bone and do not work beyond paid or contract hours.
For instance, I worked in a chain coffee store and found out my manager did not like having to delegate/think about certain cleaning tasks so I would do those really quick before fucking off in the back and that lowered my overall amount of responsibility while also boosting me in my bosses eyes. Of course, if we were really busy I would pull my weight fairly and not throw my coworkers under the bus.
Eventually looks are going to be the least important component of attraction. It will continue to be about emotionality and familiarity. Young adults are going to feel less and less relatable and therefore less and less attractive.
If its subtitled, I’ll be okayish. I can partially read Spanish and French.
I wanted to buy $100 of bitcoin in HS and couldn’t figure out how. Would have been like $60,000,000 :ccc
