Just curious, why?

Are we expecting the original to get deleted?

Authors who do multiculture fiction well? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yea, several reviews basically say the cast looks diverse at first, but they turn out to be one-dimensional.

I wish we had more examples of authors writing something as ambitious (explicitly multicultural and incorporates real-world ethnicities) and actually succeeding.

I did not know that. Good to know.

I avoid approaching women in public because I believe it's inappropriate. My parents say that it's a necessary skill. Who is right? in c/[email protected]

I stand by my comment, time traveler.

I think the purpose of a parachute is so that it can be used in an emergency, yes.

If, like me, you were curious about what "disaster" is referring to, it's basically this:

The flight attendants are told to prioritize guard orders over prisoner safety (aka keep them in chains). And they have no evacuation protocols. If the plane crashes or people need to parachute out, the prisoners will be left for dead.

There's no way this happened after the year 2000.

I haven't seen horseshoe used as a verb in... ever, but that still made sense.

There was another post about this a while ago. It depends on what app you use.

Dreams are extremely forgettable because the plot is flimsy, the dialogue is uninspired, and the acting is lifeless. in c/[email protected]

Does that mean that people who lose their ability to reliably form new memories (like anterograde amnesia or Alzheimer's) experience reality like a dream?

Authors who do multiculture fiction well? (sh.itjust.works)

The authors who manage to clear the low bar of incorporating characters/communities from diverse cultures into their fiction without cultural appropriation/stereotyping/racism... who are they and how do they do it?

I know many writers sidestep the difficulty altogether, either by creating a fictional universe with cultural proxies (fantasy stories/video games with Chinese, Japanese, and Russian analogues, I'm looking at you) or by writing in the distant future where the cultures have blended into new ones with flavors of the past (sci-fi does this a lot).

I've seen so very few authors do it well, but I do believe it's both possible and worth doing.

[Question] What's the best way to upload a picture to lemmy? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I've heard some servers struggled or even had to shut down because of storage costs. But that was a while ago, so it may not even still be a thing anymore.

There's the option of posting images to third-party services (like imgur or whatever), but I've been frustrated with not being able to see third-party images when scrolling the feed in Lemmy apps.

What's the meta right now?
