Bit torrenting is an example of peer to peer. Blockchain theoretically works this way too.
Say it! Say it!
I read some really old school Gothic Horror for a lit class in college. Here's a list of what I can recall from that class. Though if you are open to new school recommendations, Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garciais superbly chilling and really captures the old school vibe.
Frankenstein (1818) Which I assume you've read but if not is really good!
The Monk (1796) considered to be the OG gothic horror novel. It's definitely a creepy one.
Carmilla (1872) Predates Dracula, girl power vamp.
The Turn of the Screw (1898) Madness or malignant spirits? Dear reader, this one's up to you.
The Heart of Darkness (1899) Recently re-read for a book club. While it works being taught as a gothic novel, it's actually way more powerful in the context which Conrad wrote it, a scathing criticism of European imperialism in the Congo. Recommend the Norton Critical edition to add the important context. Otherwise, it has the classic gothic genre themes of self vs other, familiar vs strange, civilization vs savage, human vs monster, flipping those notions all on their head (in beautifully written prose) like a brilliant gothic novel should.
What a cool little bird! What part of the world is this in?
That's so cool, they are usually more shy. I've seen one off a paved bike trail in South Carolina but it noped off as soon as I stopped my bike.
Are those the white noodles with zero carbs? If so I've had them. I prefer spaghetti squash noodles as a wheat noodle sub, but it probably depends on the sauce.
Merlin is the best! It will also help you narrow down the options based on a few characteristics such as color, size, location and activity. This definitely sounds like mocking bird behavior!
Well, I get your general point though tipping at a restaurant doesn't quite work like that. You don't get crappy service as a result of not tipping; you tip at the end of the service.
I tip 20% no matter how dismal the service, which is not the norm here. People have bad days and I don't want to financially penalize them on top of it. It just feels shitty.
Yes, it does make you the asshole, especially because you know that's what we do here and why we do it. Until living wage laws are passed, it's not going to change.
Sad as it is, I've given up even attempting discourse with them. I always believed that people could come to a mutual understanding given enough honest communication and fact based information. That's before I move to the rural South. Logic holds no power here. Everything always defaults to their own personal interpretation of their religious texts where god is clearly telling them joe biden is in league with satan trying to usher in the antichrist and the rest of the pedo grooming marxist democrats are coming for their children, and then the world, to enslave the human race with global warming taxes and the mark of the beast.... unless they vote trump. I am just... I can't.
I live in a very rural part of a southern state and the majority of people around me are pro Trump christian conservatives. They went from decrying '1st amendment violations' on old Twitter (even though it's a corporation) to celebrating the recent wave of anti-lbgtq+ legislation sweeping across red states, though it actually does violate the 1st amendment, because 'someone's got to do something about the cultural rot.'
I am very relieved to see the courts not buying it and hope this trend continues.
Cozy front pockets! I love it.
