Yes! I listened to a good bit of that audiobook, but it was such a pain having to puzzle out who was doing/saying things. I eventually gave up. I mean... it was an interesting idea, writing a book that way because the characters sexes

Apple is user-hostile when it comes to repairing hardware. Google is user-hostile when it comes to spying on users. What’s a person to do?

We might not have a particular word to call out those distinctions, but they’re hardly mysterious. They can be described in a couple or a few words, and everybody would understand. They just aren’t considered important enough to warrant a d

My house uses “publicly serviced space” too, in that it’s on a road. Am I obliged to let strangers shit in my bathroom?
