I actually noticed this. There is a clear distinction when a book is read by AI. It's matter-of-fact, no emotion reading. They should be legally required to state when a book is read by an AI....

Find a hobby and improve yourself. It's much easier said than done, I understand that. Set a goal and move a bit more towards it every day. The most important thing you can do to get past the grind is to create hope that you can dig out of it. If you resign yourself it will never get better. Mak...

[quote]Weird that Matt Drudge isn't hyping this. Drudge has always been one of BEE'S biggest fans.

I think his writing style has matured so m...

The Shards and Bret Easton Ellis

Posted by Boss13 on 4/29/24 at 9:38 pm

Currently listening to "The Shards" by Ellis (American Psycho) and I'm realizing how incredible he is a putting society in a spotlight despite the heavy handedness of the sex and violence of his writing. If you are a fan of his or looking for some commentary on the social structure of the rich a...

I think the market is just saturated with women authors. There are many great women authors, many mentioned in this thread, but for every male author there are 10 women writing dimestore "thrillers" or romance novels. Women as a whole are more inclined to think they are more interesting than they ar...

Crichton was my first favorite author and holds a very special place in my head. I read Jurassic park in the 5th grade. I haven't read a book of his in years. This thread has me thinking he will be what I pick up next....

Posted by Boss13 on 4/29/24 at 11:39 am

I don't even have a problem with these companies buying houses. What I have a huge problem with is they are allowed to do it with zero risks. If the bottom falls out of the market, you know who the politicians are going to rush to save from default? The corporations. They won't have to let go of inv...

re: Latest O'Keefe bombshell.

Posted by Boss13 on 4/27/24 at 9:11 am

Everyone likes to call O'Keefe's stories "nothing-burgers" but I really think that's because there has been such a dramatic shift in the Overton Window. Behaviors that would have ended political careers a decade and a half ago are now commonplace and we have zero standards for our leaders except to ...
