My guess is that he says it just to keep his personal beliefs from being assailable and being challenged. He can ask questions of others to try and make points and insulate himself.

Disillusioned “open minded” republicans like my brother for one. He was telling me that Dems should run him to appeal to anti-Trump Republicans to prevent Trump from winning. He’s a pretty smart guy who somehow got convinced that JAQing off is a good basis for philosophical thought and denies that he has any firm beliefs and is open to anything that he thinks sounds convincing.

The ideal would have to be some sort of AI translation. The problem is that PDF is a page layout format and EPUB is a reading format and you can’t just extract the text without understanding what parts are affected by page layout, think of reading by columns for example. And you would need to train the AI on what’s unnecessary for reading comprehension

The extent of my moderation experience has been a few old phpbb forums and a few admittedly large Facebook groups. Let me think it over and I’ll get back to you shortly.

I also wonder if it might benefit from ebooks being separate because authors could post updates about them as theoretically as well as it’d be easier to manage spam.

Do you have a place to post when we find significant discounts on ebooks?

I think I understand where you made the mistake, it’s not red dit, I think it’s supposed to be re ddit. It’s where they “did it” again (or “re did it”) but like All those other early 2000’s sites they just dropped a vowel so it’s just re ddit.

Is this what Roman Nagel had to rig up to save Livingston’s butt?

I’m finally getting around to reading The Goblin Emperor and just finished The Giver. I managed to never read it before, ¯\(ツ)/¯.

Somewhere in the middle of Grave Peril is where the Dresden books really seem to hit their stride and become more consistently good in my opinion.

That’s why I’m still running A/UX.
