Moby Dick!!! Ishmael is one of the most amazing fictitious characters I’ve ever had the pleasure of encountering.
Honorary mention to The Brothers Karamazov.
The characters are so fleshed out that you really don’t get into the book’s plot until you’re 200 pages in.

Vupware@lemmy.zipto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Ecosia and Qwant team up to launch an independent search index, challenging Google & Bing61·23 hours agoWoah, this is cool.
To me, it looks like it basically anonymizes your search through a search engine of your choice.
Meaning, you can still use google for a search if you choose, but the data they would usually collect is out of reach.
Am I understanding this correctly?

I’m forced to use Edge at my job. It’s honestly not bad. It even has a built in PDF editor!
However, every time my eyes glance at that start screen, my blood pressure skyrockets. It’s all blatant propaganda.
The best/worst part? THERE ARE COMMENTS…

I learned some excellent new words thanks to this book:
Inimical - tending to obstruct or harm
Pyrolatry - Fire worship
Suzerain - a feudal overlord, or a sovereign state having some control over another, internally autonomous state. Though the book’s definition is much more expressive.

So many ppl will say “I can’t believe somebody hasn’t done it!”, “when will somebody do it”, “my life will be so much better if somebody does it”, etc but these people don’t seem to realize that the damage has already been done. One guy leaving is not going to magically restore our liberties, eradicate the concentration camps, stop the gestapo, and end our complicity/support of genocide and imperialism.
The whole system is rotten from the ground up. We need to rebuild the whole thing.

Well if baseless bitching can keep homophobia alive and well, then it’s clear the strategy works.
It is always better to see and to write a sound argument, but barring that, perpetuating negativity is pretty effective, esp. on the internet.
I see what you’re getting at, though!
Hopefully that leads to a silver lining if/when the fascists start to steal medical records and build registries of people with mental illnesses.
