WTF was this chapter!!!
That don Antonio mojo
In Italy I guess the big one is Subito.it
Yes, that's the author I was talking about. You could check out The Alchemist, his most famous novel.
Coelho? My only fear is that you might consider it a bit shallow.
I'm from Italy as well. I always like to remember a quote from Charles Mingus, who at some point in his career had an entire black band with the exception of his sax player, Charlie Mariano. When asked about it, he answered something along of the lines of "He's not white, he's Italian."
Sauro my beloved
While it's true that "all elections are won on lies spewed by the parties", it's always a matter of context. The media landscape of the past 10 years has both shrunk and inflated at the same time: centralized social media now overwhelmingly represent the main source of information from which people read news and shape their views of the world. The fact that some of those social media have more or less explicitly stated their affiliation to some sort of government which might make their interests offers a worrying scenario: in one case, the state can require the manipulation of information so as to steer the results of election towards governments that might create strategic geopolitical tension or sweetened deals (i.e. China and TikTok). On the other, through the "loaning" of centralized social media to the highest bidder can create enormous echo chambers which corrupt the results only for symbiontic, growing entanglement of social media corporations into forms of government (i.e. Elon Musk in 2024).
Tl;Dr: Social media are a bigger problem than good old politicians' lies because they can be easily manipulated by external forces and because everyone uses them.
It wasn't that dry to the touch, actually! I was out on an excursion for a mycology class and one of the teachers identified it. Apparently it's a native species around here
Shivers [Impossible]: Success.
Ehhh, while it's true that some vids nowadays have captions, this isn't always the case. Plus, consider that a lot of content on the internet isn't necessarily in the language Kids think in (when they don't come from anglo-speaking countries). And, once again anecdotal experience but I have to factor that in, "digital natives" don't seem to communicate in written form as much as we do. Blame voice messages, I guess.

To me, "retro" just means something that is now only possible for consumption through the previous, now impossible or highly impractical, acquisition of said medium. PS3? Retro. 3DS? Retro.
