huh, so i'm about halfway trough and i'm having a hard time following what the writer is talking about.
To me this feels like someone with ADD trying to tell me something but gets distracted every other sentence. is it just me?
- shaftoe 7y agoI abandoned about halfway through when I realized it wasn't going to get to a discussion of backpack design and I had no idea what the actual point was. You're not alone.
- barryhoodlum 7y agoHope you guys manage to convince your wives to watch some sci fi!
- thih9 7y agoWhy are you assuming that parent commenter has a spouse that doesn't watch sci fi? I'm sure you have a point, I wish you wrote about it in a clear way instead of implying unhelpful things about other authors.
- sk0g 7y agoIt's a reference to a passage in the post, so I wouldn't assume they had any malicious intent.
- everythingswan 7y agoIn the article, the author describes the people she works with in this exact context. Parent you're replying to is lumping those further up the comment chain with the people described in the article. She says they often talk about how to get their wives to watch more science fiction movies. I felt it landed perfectly given the context of the article, YMMV.
- neffy 7y agoThere are women in this world who like to watch Sci-Fi.
- derrida 7y agoI clicked because I am interested in backpacks having seen someone hitch with like 8 possesions and no money from singapore to india just a month a go. As I was reading this article at first, It was choppy at the beginning... switching back and forth seemi ngly, I sort of felt I had to adjust my focus and re-read a few times to understand... this to me is a sign... a sign of a new way of thinking or terrible writing. I had an intuition this could be a good piece. I was not disappointed. Gotta give it some attention, this is lit/literature. Reading that communicates a novel way of thinking requires attention. Then when that thinking is commonplace later, it may become "more readable". Consider what it felt like to read more adult literature in high school.
