...while listening to an audiobook in the original language. I actually find this greatly enhances the experience, and the best example I found thus far is reading Nabokov's translation of Eugene Onegin while listening to the Russian audiobook. While Nabokov's translation is largely unreadable on its own, the verse of the book is so delectable that you can hear the rhyme and wit through it while reading the translation and I find myself laughing at the humor a lot more.You guys should try this sort of thing. If you don't use audible then pirate from audiobook bay
>>25124825It's a real painting but if you are too senseless to even notice the difference between a painting featuring clear brushstrokes and handwork, and much more streamlined digital art, even when the resolution is high enough, then why would it even matter if it's AI? You obviously can't appreciate why AI is inferior
>>25125501You think you can't get the exact same thing with AI lmfao?
>>25125632No, I don't think AI can paint or creature realistic paint texture. AI is limited to digital
>>25125641This picture is digital too moron. And if you want to put it on the wall to admire the "texture" a Chinese slave can copy it 1:1 for like $10.
>>25125649You can see paintbrush texture in a photo of a painting with decent resolution unless you are an NPC

I still can not believe this shit was unironically published.
>>25125589WhyThis doesn't necessarily make sense but characters in a book aren't supposed to always be geniuses who never say anything wrong or dumb
>>25125618Bobbi IS a genius though. That's the whole premise of the book. She's that girl who always gets it. The girl who was woke before woke was a thing but also the girl who recognized the grifter right away. She's streets ahead.
>>25125589>mothers selflessy raising children without any profit motiveStupid Marxist cunt. Its a mother's genes that have the profit motive.
>>25125623It doesn't matter anon. People will keep saying stupid shit like this and get praised for it. Our culture is deep in the brainrot now.
>>25125623These people are like, "jeez, you can't even plant an orange tree to get oranges anymore! now it's all about profit!" It unironically explain leftist economics though. When you think like that, the obvious conclusion is that we should just print infinite money.
How accurate is this this assessment? The pacing really slows down in Dance and Crows.>North is very underexplored>Iron Islands always delivers kino worldbuilding but lame characters>Wall is awesome as soon as Stannis or Mance is involved>everything beyond the Narrow Sea is 'Skip Chapter' material, even the author tires of Daenerys in Crows, it seems>River lands is the biggest shithole imaginable. Everyone is a fucking rapist or a killer, every single roaming band of thieves minus one just walks around his place raping. It makes you not want to live in this world>Westernlands is just there for Tywin to brag about how powerful he is>Dorne is filler>Reach people never get anything done>every chapter involving Dragonstone / Davos is KINO OF THE HIGHEST ORDER and the best literature about being a father that a childless author ever wroteWhy is GRRM so good with good fathers? Cressen / Stannis, Davos / his children and Edric Storm. Tywin is evil incarnate, but some fathers in this shows that maybe he always wanted a kid.

>>25124020>The pacing really slows down in Dance and CrowsThat's because Gurm realised he was onto a moneyspinner, and decided to drag out the story into infinity.As they say in publishing: "Mo' books, mo' money."
>>25125497Dumb theory. You have to release the books to get paid.
>>25125557Dumb response. The money kept rolling in, and Gurm realised he could quiet-quit.

Is the black/indian or jew/edomite lineage part of the curse of ham? If so, they can't be redeemed right?
>—Yes, man is ugly and sad under the vast sky,>Wearing clothes because he’s no longer chaste,>Because he has defiled his proud godhead>And shrivelled, like an idol in the fire,>His Olympian body to soiled hire!>—Because he was strong, Man was chaste and sweet.>Pitiful! Now he says: I know what’s what,>And off he goes with eyes closed and ears shut.>So—no more gods! no more gods! Man is King,>Man is God! But then Love is the great Faith!

>he was such a charismatic man that women always fell in love with him and so it was only natural that Mayakovsky would sleep with his wife.>Osip Brik, true to his promise, calmly accepted his wife's infidelities from the start. In fact, upon hearing his wife confess that she had gone to bed with the famous young poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, Brik exclaimed "How could you refuse anything to that man?"

reading this turned me into an enemy of the poor. i used to be a socialist until I realized that bad qualities in humanity (poverty, evil, ugliness, ill health, etc) are correlated for a reason: some humans are just intrinsically bad, just as some are intrinsically good.

From Infinite jest:>"Everybody is identical in their secret unspoken belief that way deep down they are different from everyone else".From The Pale King:>"The assumption that you are like everyone else and everyone else is like you. That you are the world. The disease of consumer capitalism. The complacent solipsism".So which one is it, big man?
Reminder that DFW killed himself and that you shouldn't be reading any of his neurotic crap lest you want to end up in the same way. Which way is it? It's both and neither! Neurotic dipshits love a good paradox to obsess over. The man was famous for wearing a bandana because he was constantly sweating. He created more pseudo problems than he solved with his dogshit writing.
>>25124946its almost like the dialogue is being spoken by a fictional character and the author might not completely align with the beliefs of these nonexistent people.
>>25124946I'd kill myself too if this many of my readers were mindless automaton puppets like you.
