What do you think of it? I read that a long time ago in middle school and didn't like it, but I've been meaning to reread it as a middle aged adult.

i'm currently reading à rebours, objectively speaking i don't think it's a bad book so far but something about it makes me drowsy almost immediately

Currently Reading the Don Flows Home to the Sea, the second in a duology depicting the lives of the Don Cossacks shortly before World War I and into the Russian Civil War. Lots of great comparison between the roughness of the Cossacks and the land itself.

I was going to say "what a coincidence, I'm also reading it" but then I realized your post is four months old, so not that much of a coincidence.
Anyway, I'm not that deep into it yet but I'm actually enjoying it immensely. But I tend to like plotless books. I actually find it refreshing how much of the book is just dedicated to drawing out the protagonist's deranged aestheticism. But I can also see why that would put people to sleep.

Capeshit refers to derivative, forumalic superhero movies and media. It is a specific term, not a catch all phrase for "I think its slop" which makes sense for a twitter-brained illiterate that can't even capitalize your 'I's
>"they le defeat le ebil computer" is anything past reddit manchild garbage
<Harlan Ellison, Stanley Kubrick, DF jones (i.e. literary/cinematographic giants) are all reddit manchildren!

>a writer who mostly writes "funny" youtube sketches for animation shorts is running circles around you
You are transparently coping, because you have no argument, so you're stooping to indirect ad hominum.

I've presented a very specific set of criticisms because frankly speaking the final episode does not hold up compared to the rest of the show and retroactively degrades it with inconsistencies and poor focus. Saying "you didn't make something like this so you can't criticize!" is a flimsy excuse at best.

>>47887
>Capeshit refers to derivative, forumalic superhero movies and media.
capeshit pretty much refers to any formulaic heroic monomyth fight against evil bullshit, you retarded prescriptivist, which is how the iran war is being described in terms of it being "capeshit" over at xitter dot com, even though everyone understand there are no super heroes in the real world

> Stanley Kubrick

i dont think you understood 2001 space oddysey

> Obviously only (You) are brilliant enough to see the light!

it's the other way around, (You) are just particularly midwitted and can't recognize the difference between chewed cat food and roast beef

> Saying "you didn't make something like this so you can't criticize!"

we really need to address the literacy crisis in leftypol dot org because nowhere did i even come close to implying this. i was directly comparing your suggestion with what gooseworx coughed up on its own merits which is indeed conceptually inferior and trite. perhaps your poor reading comprehension skills have something to do with your underdeveloped childish taste for superhero movie tropes?

>the final episode does not hold up compared to the rest of the show
this is also so funny because the rest of the show is otherwise unremarkable, the ending elevates what would otherwise be painfully mediocre.

No it does not, it takes two seconds to double check: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/capeshit
>prescriptivist
Words have definitions, without these definitions, they are little more than syllabled babble. Your perceived insult is not as biting as you picture it.
>how the iran war is being described in terms of it being "capeshit" over at xitter
I don't care what idiots on soshit-media may be bleating. It doesn't matter if one or a thousand twits repeat the same nonsense. It speaks more of the immature mentality they possess than of the word/termin itself.
>even though everyone understand there are no super heroes in the real world
Again, it speaks more to their burger mindset than of the actual terminology, to make a obtuse text to life connection like that.
>i dont think you understood 2001 space oddysey
I wouldn't since it's Odyssey. I understand English not being someone's first language, but it takes a single double-check to confirm its spelling. Don't lecture me about literacy when you can't even spell a well known title.
>(You) are just particularly midwitted and can't recognize the difference between chewed cat food and roast beef
Lovely metaphor despite the utterly lumpen newspeak, however that's still no more than ad hominem.

I like the art style and the concept, that’s about it. The show’s not very funny, the writing is poor (in my opinion), and the character designs just look a bit strange. The only characters I really like are Charlie, Alastor and Nifty, the rest are just kinda… ehhh

Gave this shitshow a watch after TADC finished and wow… it is underwhelming. I liked the Pilot and one song in the actual show, but the show itself lacks commitment. The potential was there, and got squandered. At least TADC fucked it up at the last minute.

Never seen GoT and enjoying the show so far, decent political intrigue so far.

All right, finally reading mainline ASOIAF and Fire and Blood I can now see how HBO has completely raped George's story with these shitty adaptations (AKOTSK was pretty good tho).
That being said, the AemondxAlicent kiss scene in yesterday's episode really turned me on… Finally more incest rep that ain't between siblings or cousins.

>Krtek Edition

Can we talk about how cartoons in the communist times were even better than the capitalist shit we have today? My favorite is Krtek because he's a cute poster child for eco-communism.

Anon, its key jiggling for toddlers, by what criteria do you even judge its quality?

>>47879
It doesn't utilise any capitalist perspectives, it talks about ecologicism and it's really adorable. Also, the animation feels more unique and whimsical than the beanmouthed cartoons of now but that's just an opinion

I was born in 1998, so 2001-2010 was basically my childhood. Gen Alpha kids don't even know what cartoons are - they just grow up on YouTube. As a Z kid (1996-2009) I can say Gen Alpha is cultureless. As a Zoomer I grew up on Teen Titans, Totally Spies, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Billy & Mandy, Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends, Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh, Duel Masters, Beyblade, Pokemon, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Code Lyoko, Invader Zim, and so on. I didn't discover YouTube until 2006, and even then, it was NOT on a smartphone! Everything is fucking woke now. I would hate to have a childhood growing up in this era (2011-present). I was 13 when popular culture started to suck.

What cartoons do they have for kids growing up now? Adventure Time, Gravity Falls or Rick & Morty at best. Woke garbage.

Old thread (v1): https://leftypol.org/hobby/res/7136.html

The practice and principles of Permaculture are one of the most important tools for not only creating a sustainable socialism, but also for repairing the damage done to the global ecosystem by capitalism, and lessening your individual reliance on the current capitalist system.Permacultural practice and socialism are two very powerful allies, and learning about permaculture should be necessity for modern socialists and communists.

And last resort because this will spread disease although you can lower the risk by cooking it; Excrement, as in literal shit and piss

You can treat excrement so that it no longer has diseases but still has the good stuff.

What this won't take care of though is heavy metals and other stuff that bioaccumulates in the human body, but there are ways of getting that stuff out of the soil too. Sunflowers are generally pretty good at sucking up everything in soil so they can be used to help reduce contaminants (just make sure that once they are grown you go bury them somewhere else to help return the contents to the sedimentary layer).

Thread for those who like to read and write including fanfiction. Share drafts, look for beta-readers, ask for writing advice, give recommendations and do all that other cool jazz. Just remember to not bully anyone else no matter how shit their taste might be.

i think you hit the nail on the head that its the result of having an established story. Harry Potter, lotr, etc… for example where you have a established fandom obsessed at looking at all the different aaspects of the story.
otherwise its like writing a story where it begins with a bank robbery. but it never gets solved. why should anyone care in the first place? it doesnt add 'mystery' or anticipation or whartever. if anything its more likely to piss off the reader that they invested time and nothing essentially happened.

>>47782
>Audiences are increasingly into worldbuilding and fan fiction because they like filling in those blanks
You're right in this being a draw for a lot of people, but i see it more as an out-of-text thing and one that doesn't even require the story deliberately leaving things vague. Take for example the Worm webnovel, whose text includes super-detailed worldbuilding, that is near-exhaustive when taken together with its "sequel". Many writers in the setting, especially in the spacebattles community, have a complicated relationship with Ward and some themes of the original work, which is why they often intentionally play loose with canon.

Ultimately you can only make the far weaker statement, that a community into worldbuilding and fanfiction may elevate an otherwise lackluster story.

>>47784
I think this type of fandom is just bad for writing, ultimatly, worldbuilding doesn't matter much, a story may have a well made interesting setting, if the writing doesn't follow, then it's worthless in terms of art, even if it might sell well among a certain community.
It's also weird to see it being heralded as some major criticism, you'll even see people direct it towards children's books like Harry Potter, when nonsensical worlds parodying our own has been a staple of children's litterature for a while, just see Roahl Dahl's books.
I'll say that letting plot unresolved if often fairly bad, you don't need to explore every background character's life, if anything, an encyclopedic explaination of everything just hurts the immersion of the reader.

>>47783
no anon is clearly saying that you leave some things that are open to interpretation, not that you never wrap up the main plot. like the suitcase in pulp fiction. nobody sees what's inside of it. it's fun to speculate whether it's supernatural or not. but the plot isn't left dangling.

I'm taking part in a kind of stupid tournament on a webnovel website. I had no time to really think of a novel world so it is just mediaeval European fantasy which I kind of hate. I'm trying out daily releases for chapters (which means the quality of prose is not what I'd like), but nobody is reading lol. It's not my best work but if you want to read its here: https://www.honeyfeed.fm/novels/31816
