I loved Enders Game, Enders Shadow and Speaker for the Dead. It had a great emotional importance to me. Especially Enders Shadow, it was one of the first books I read that properly described starvation. I went through a lot as a child, and Beans story of a starving, smart, small kid really resonated with me in the period after my own tribulation. I don't think Shadow has the same impact on people without some of my experiences, so I chose to use the main arc and I've always felt that Ender would rather be remembered as The Speaker more than anything else. Probably silly, but I'm fine with that. In short, I agree, Enders Game is the better book. Speaker is just the pay off.

Moby Dick has always infuriated and enthralled me. I read 5 pages, hate myself. Start reading again in 15 minutes because I can't get it out of my head.

I use both. I like some aspects of each better. Reddit mostly has some specific large communities I can't find on lemmy due to size, or lemmys demographics just not enjoying that topic.

Probably going to stop suggesting Zorin to new users. Can't trust a distro that defaults crypto bro chromium.

These people are so ridiculously evil. Banning the phrase clean water is insane.

He is just going through a nazi checklist at this point.

The Vikings interior line was actually terrible. They just got rid of them all. Our elite tackles buoyed the lines ranking. So he actually did this year with a fair amount of pressure up the middle.

I will never forget this dude kicking that door and fucking his leg up.

Good deal for both parties. Kupp gets to go home with some security, Hawks get a decent AAV. Was hoping the Vikings would snag Kupp, but they needed it to be only a year.

Love to see my vikings beefing up the trenches. Fries, Hargrave, Kelly and Allen are great additions.

People on here would rather blame the Dems than admit they got duped by propaganda into supporting fascism.

Tech bros love to rename terrible shit from the past and call it an invention.

It's amazing how they tolerated people preaching for violence against women and immigrants for over a decade, but all of sudden their passion for non-violence is so extreme after a rich white guy gets killed.

My rss app combines 44 different news sites into one long feed. It replaced multiple apps and makes checking an assload of news very easy.

This is awesome, fuck the haters
