Yikes.

Fair question. The disclosure is there because this instance asks AI-generated or AI-assisted content to be tagged. AI helped draft the recruitment copy; I reviewed it for accuracy before posting. That statement isn't a claim about how the app itself was coded, and I wouldn't ask you to infer code quality either way from a promo post. The closed test is precisely for real users to exercise the app and report what actually works—or doesn't.

What about this simple post required AI assistance? This doesn’t bode well for the code quality.

Thanks! I have not seen the Netflix show, so I'm more or less neutral on that (so it's not going to be an issue). I only know her from Star Trek.

i listened to Daniel Loh's narration of Condor Heroes' English localization. i liked it personally, reminded me of 1970s English dubbed Shaw bros. martial arts movies.

by the same token, his voice is quite low (no pun intended) and raspy/vocal-fried so that can be a turn off for some people.

edit: FWIW Rosalind Chao is a great screen actress and also plays a central character in the Netflix adaptation. that can be a treat for some, but potentially a disorienting meta-textual factor for others.

Yes, for a few years the church practiced what they called the "United Order" where they supposed to have all things in common. It didn't last long and was replaced by the system of tithing and offerings.

Since then, the church has preached self-reliance, not community.

The church is virulently anti communist and extremely conservative. One of their "prophets" - Ezra Benson - preached against communism constantly and belonged to the John Birch Society.

Skousen is in lock step with these views.

Interesting — thanks for adding that context, since I just post new releases here and don’t listen to most of them. Mormons often have very exotic views on communism because they believe the membership is supposed to have “all things in common” but they just aren’t there yet, but just because their views are strange doesn’t mean they are good.

Skousen and his family are very conservative Mormons and almost everything he wrote is through that lens.

Skousen writing about communism is like having Netanyahu write about Islam.

I know that the word gypsy is considered a slur by many today, and the term Romani is preferred, but do remember this book was published in 1929. I have not read it so I can’t tell you if it perpetuates negative stereotypes of Romani people.

I like all kinds of books, except horror (sorry!) Just about any kind of fiction, and many nonfiction subjects as well. I guess I like story lines based on historical events, because right now I have these two on hold on Libby: I love the sound of the titles you have recommended! I'll look them up tomorrow. Thank you!

Hmm 🤔 what genres do you like? I mostly listen to horror but my favorites from other genres:

• This Is How You Lose the Time War - a short romance between two feuding agents in the “time war”
• The Lies of Locke Lamora - a group of con artists do shenanigans in a fantasy world (the narrator is really good, they do the accents!)
• Beartown - my favorite by Backman, a small town deals with the aftermath of actions done by the hero of the hockey team (look up content warnings if you need more details, but it deals with the subject matter well)

I went straight to my app store to find Hoopla! Wow! Thank you for that tip! Much appreciated ☺️

I am really enjoying Libby! Who doesn't love getting entertainment for free, especially books in any form. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you 💗

Great advice! Thank you. I will look into that.

Hidden Figures is a great book! I enjoyed the movie, but the book (unsurprisingly) is much better. The history is better represented in the book too.

Check to see if your public library has Hoopla as well. Lots of great audiobooks on there too.

Libby is the best!
