New in F-Droid. Happy to see this. In the past I used Noice but then Noice wanted Internet access and I stopped using it. It comes with Anti-Features warning. Soothing on the other hand requires very little permissions.
That's cool. I just suggested the Ann Reardon video because she's addressing the findings from the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer that's also mentioned in this article.
I guess I would say the paradox of tolerance. I'm sorry but I'm just gonna yoink the definition from Wikipedia because I'm not great at explaining things:
The paradox of tolerance states that if a society's practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them. Karl Popper describes the paradox as arising from the fact that, in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.
Bonus least favorite paradox: You need experience to get a job and you need a job to get experience.
West of Dead is a really fun game. It's a cover-based twin-stick shooter, so there's a top-down view and you crouch behind cover in between shooting bad guys. It's also a roguelike, so you get random weapons each run and unlock permanent perks with the currency you collect. I'm typically terrible at roguelikes but I fell in...
For me, it was The One I Love by R.E.M. from when I was about four or five.
Besides being a banger of a song, I think part of the appeal to my younger self was how easy the lyrics were to understand and memorize, which I still have memorized. They were my first favorite band too.

Listening to Paradise Lost by John Milton and No Gods for Drowning by Hailey Piper. Though, I'll probably be working on Paradise Lost for a while because I have to be in the right mind set for it; it's hard to multitask listening to that one 😅

Next time you make schnitzel, add lots of sesame seeds to the crumb mixture and use panko breadcrumbs which are chunkier and lighter than normal breadcrumbs. Katsu sauce is like am extremely mild curry gravy, with brown sugar in it. Very nice!...
I'm not sure if this one counts, but I'm a fan of Rogule
Rogule is a minimalist online Roguelike game you play in your web browser. Everyone gets the same dungeon each day. You get one chance to beat each day's dungeon. It is free to play.
Looking for a solution to manage and access the directory on my NAS that is full of ebooks.

I use Kavita and I'm really happy with it. I understand your reservations about the subscription, but I'm not subscribed to the premium features because I don't need them either.
The PDF reader on it is okay, I think. I really prefer reading PDF files. I usually convert my PDF comics to cbz. But yeah, I like Kavita because it's easy and convenient.
These past few months I've come back to reading novels for the first time, really, since I was a kid. I just read them an alternative to scrolling, though, so I don't really pay much attention. When I sit down to watch a film, I try to make sure my mind is clear, my environment is undistracting, and I try to watch observantly...
I need absolute quiet to read and it's taxing for me to read for long periods of time. However, I'm more an audio person, so I mostly listen to books, and if given the opportunity, I could listen to books all day.
Yeah I figured (as is a lot of businesses making a buck off of supernatural/paranormal attractions) but the look of it so off-putting, so mission accomplished with the aesthetic

Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.
Bonus points for any books you believe are classics from that time period. Any language, but only fiction please....
