computer touchers make all their money by scamming people, OP. some do it more, some do it less, some of us live in our cars while we do it, but it’s all a giant scam nonetheless best you’re gonna get is folk like that free software foot muncher. people so lost to computer touching that they forget what it’s all about and start scamming themselves anything good is either an accident or a trap and it’s unhealthy to interact with computers without keeping that in mind at all times you want some book recommendations from someone who hasn’t intentionally or unintentionally made your life actively worse? go chat with a librarian

the goodreads community is definitely one of the sloppiest dick sucking rate and review sites out there, what does harry potter have like a 4.5/5 avg? lol, at least you can actually gleam something from a letterboxd or rym rating average

On the bright side, at least it's not Pride and Prejudice and Zombies on the list.

Play posted:The problem is that you need a lot of money to make and market a site like that even if it is poo poo. UI is terrible and dated and hasn't been updated since about 2008. It's supposed to be social media for books people but something about the way the website is attracts the most annoying clowns. Finding books is awful. Finding tolerable people who write decent reviews on the site is awful. It largely functions as a machine for terrible YA authors to give each other boosts and/or engage in public pettiness. There is no correlation between how any book is rated on that site and reality. Just thinking about it makes me mad

What makes you think those people you dislike wouldn't move there once the new community is established?

So first we'll need to start by compiling a list of all the books ever written. I'll get the ball rolling: 1. Epic of Gilgamesh - Unknown Okay, now that I've got that started who wants to take this over from here?

There are so many engineers on this forum that it is inexplicable to me. Not a single one of you has invented a ketchup bottle that won't fart. This is why we need more women in engineering.

Just let user's submit the book details themselves then you can just fill out the database as you need it. It's the perfect solution with no drawbacks!

Listen, the internet as a whole is pretty terrible. Making a new Goodreads would be a waste of time. This is a pretty good place to post inane nonsense though. Just post your book stuff here. Here I'll start: Been reading "The Godfather". Boy, sure are a lot of giant dick plotlines in this book! They cut those out of the movie, probably a good idea. Still a good book though.

This is why we need more women in engineering. There should be a wide, flat plunger thing on the bottom of the bottle, kind like a reverse French press.

I'm just spitballing here, but what if we combine GoodReads with Neuralink, and just "beam" books into people's heads?

There is very little venture capital available for people who want to make an existing product but better op, that's the long and short of it
