So I teach elementary school ESL in Korea, and I have gotten that quite a few times. We always have a nice laugh about it in the office.

Dead Ringers, anyone?

Holy shit. I think that's my hometown. I'm not even kidding.

Hi. I'm probably a bad candidate for this, but I would love to be involved in some way. I'm in Korea, so it's a completely different timezone. But still. Hit me up. Let me disappoint you.

And here I am, just about ready to publish my new EP. Any alternatives to Bandcamp out there?

I worked at an ice cream parlour in my hometown for a summer job. After three shifts I knew it was horrible and it wouldn't get any better. Two hours before the start of my fourth shift, I walked up to the boss and said, "I don't work here anymore. You're a cunt."

Yeah, I read about that on the internet. Honestly, it doesn't bother me. If the book is not about people I know about, my brain doesn't care how factual it is.

Just started Papillon by Henri Charrière, the 1973 translation. It's great so far, although I'm only about 50 pages in.

Be honest. Did you write the Shavian just hoping someone would remark on it? Like I just did?

[-] Maerman@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Time well spent.

You are half correct. The movie is essentially a parody of the book. The book is unironic.

The irony here is that Starship Troopers is pretty damn fashy, and a lot of the manosphere leans in that direction as well. So it does ring true, in an odd way.
