There are some weird choices in here. Skimming the list I can see a few things I've read that surprise me. Fable by Adrienne Young is just a fairly generic YA fantasy thing for example, I can't think of anything in that that would bother anyone. Victor & Nora: A Gotham Love Story is a melancholy backstory of a Batman villain, this is insane. I see a Catwoman book in there too, but it's by Sarah J Maas and everything of hers appears to have been blanket-banned. I'm assuming that was included because Harley and Ivy are in it and they're probably bi in that universe.

How were these books chosen? Was it just a ctrl+f for words they didn't like? There are some things missing that I'd have expected to see based on what I read back in high school, but I was more of a public library kid than a school library one because that's where you could find the good stuff.

Congrats on the three promotions mate :)

I finally finished The Way of Kings which I've been reading since last July. I love a good slow burn and was enjoying reading a chapter a week or so, but I couldn't put it down for the last dozen chapters, it got so damn good. I'm taking a couple of weeks off work soon, so I might wait until I get back before I start the next one.

For tonight I'm in a bad mood so I think I'll stick with something quick and dumb like Kissing the Coronavirus to cheer myself up a bit. Or skim through an old comfort read like The Lies of Locke Lamora.

"I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time, but at least you know it is genuine, not from the PR department," he admitted.

Well, at least the advertisers know he meant it when he literally told them to go fuck themselves. That'll help, I think.

"After" profits tumble? We haven't even had a chance to buy FF16 or Rebirth yet, and if they're like Remake there'll still be a year to wait for it to get off Epic and onto Steam. Just sell us the damn game if you want money.

My first car was a Corolla that was older than me and practically free. Apart from having to change the battery a couple of times over the years I never had a problem keeping it running. Now 10 years after getting rid of it I'd still choose to take it back over one of these stupid things.

That's been happening for ages. I'm sure if you check the profiles you'll find other posts with all the same bots commenting. A lot of lazier ones wait exactly a year to repost, and it's pretty obvious in subs for something like a live service game where they'll be reposting complaints that are way out of date. One in the Monster Hunter sub reposted a trailer for Iceborne which had been out for 3 years by that point.

If I'm reading this right, it's a program that users sign up for to donate their processing power (and can opt in or out of adult content), which is then used by client companies to generate their own users' content? It even says that Salad can't view or moderate the images, so what exactly are they doing wrong besides providing service to potentially questionable companies? It makes as much sense as blaming Nvidia or Microsoft, am I missing something?

Oh man. I liked this post better when I thought it was a good joke.

I'm struggling to think of any situation in which invisibility would benefit me personally. Teleportation would save me over an hour a day of driving to/from work alone, plus hours at work itself, fuel & vehicle maintenance costs just about disappear, world travel becomes something possible to do any time of any day on a whim, you could do anything.

Right. More often than not when these posts pop up you can check their comment history and see exactly why they keep getting banned.
