Yeah you get a lot of these 'moral purity absolutists' with all the nuance of an edgy teen. Some of them, or course, are edgy teens, but 100 years is a super odd choice even so. You'd think by the time they were 13 they'd have heard of at least one war that came pretty close to defense against a malign hegemonic power with ambitions of global domination....

It largely won't happen. We're near a ceiling on what predictive models can do, and it's still painfully obvious when something's bot-generated. Porn is one where I can actually see that changing because people have never minded absolutely trash porn, but the arts as they currently exist are not gonna vanish

Not gonna double my response - OP deserved it more - I will say another 'fair enough', give you an upvote, and leave it at that

Good response, happy with that. Sorry about the implications, I think I just found it a fusty conservative choice. Had it been Infinite Jest and Chaucer I probably wouldn't have bothered responding. Sometimes the idea of 'classics' can seem... narrow and dull. Just wanted to mitigate the notion it was all brown bread (not that I don't love your suggestions tho')

Why start there with British and US authors? Why not 100 years of solitude, Disgrace, and dream of red mansions?

Mark Knopfler had a good song about that - Boom Like That

For a month or two I still kept the app on my phone. As a memento.

Reddit's official UX experiences suck balls

That's bollocks, their first album was 2000

Edit: just checked, actually their first album was 1999. Although what they have to do with 50 shades of grey...
