What this commodity culture has given birth to is the abomination called consumer identity, with people being no more than what they consume Sep 14, 2023

      Hi. I stopped by to praise your beautiful writing style. Reading it makes one wonder if this was really an online forum for a bunch of geeks and dorks, or if by chance this was actually a graceful tea party consisting of individuals discussing the act of admiring literature.

        Thank you. It's a relief to know I don't sound as awkward and stilted as I had imagined. I'm still working towards acquiring the artless grace men of letters seem to possess.

      Ah wait, you're from India? You like to eat biryani with chutney or no, and if you do do you like it to be green or read?

        I don't usually take raita. I like mine with green chutney or whatever it's called. I wasn't born in India but my grandparents are from Pakistan so I really do like the food.

        I consider raita essential to biryani as it helps cuts down the richness of the biryani, but if I had to choose between chutneys, then green chutney (coriander-mint) is the way to go.

        I am on the student side of this, and I dont know about others but I am paying attention - in most classes. I dont wanna turn on my camera or answer though >.> (although I will if it gets bit too long with no answers). Also I may or may not have a simple game open on the side. I do enjoy not having to travel though >.<

        @Ddraig Nah, I don't expect or demand students' cameras to be on. And just simple binary responses like yes/no (when I ask if they have understood) would suffice. I just need some affirmation that the students are listening in.

        Honestly for me its sometimes easier to get a response with less students, if you somehow get one or two to open up. There's like a bigger feeling of peer pressure or something with more students and the silence is a lot more overwhelming.

        Yeah, but mostly from inactive or new users, hence the mistakes. Veteran users are familiar with the rules and workings and seldom break them.

      There are poorly written Chinese novels, and then there are Chinese novels that imitate poorly written Japanese novels... take your pick!

        The cringe is no less, so one can safely assert that even if they are not exact, they have at least preserved the spirit of the JPNs.

      Enjoying Orc Eroica RN. Don't let the fact that it is written by the Mushoku Tensei author keep you away from this masterpiece.

        It amazes me how the one who wrote that sick, creepy trash known as Mushoku Tensei could choose another seemingly depraved premise and yet come across as anything but vulgar.
