I too love these comics. All to often over the past few years people have just been ugly, and so so when they get that way I say "Since it appears you are incapable of having a civil conversation I'm going to block you and move on. I hope you have a pleasant day." Last sentence really upsets them.

Yeah. I did a little more digging last night and saw that. But like I originally said, while Libby is really good at what it does there was just something about overdrive that I preferred.
AZ'REAL (@dbcaliman.bsky.social) reply parent
Overdrive was an app that started in 03, whereas libby came around in 17. Unfortunately my library stopped supporting overdrive, but like I said libby has done me well.
AZ'REAL (@dbcaliman.bsky.social) reply parent
They might have merged or something, but I've been doing this for quite a long time, and I don't think Libby existed when I was first using overdrive. Just looked it up and overdrive was around almost 15 years before libby.
AZ'REAL (@dbcaliman.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe this is why The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, and The Mist (movie not TV show) were done so well. Most of those stories took place outside of the characters head. I also think that the guy who directed them (Frank Darabont) did a great job too.

I preferred Overdrive but my library switched over to Libby which is still great. I highly recommend Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman. One of the few books that was not only read perfectly, but made my heart race. I would highly recommend going in knowing only that it's a thriller/horror.

Exactly. When I come across someone who's incapable of having a civil conversation I let them know that I'm going to block them and wish them a pleasant day.

If thereโs 9 fascists at the table, and and you decide to sit with them, you now have a table with 10 fascists. There's a similar saying in Germany, but with this president and cabinet I felt this was a better version.
