What are some downsides to immortality that most don't think of? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[โ€“] mobiuscoffee@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

One of my books features an immortal protagonist and I've as such thought about this quite a bit. More than the answers already provided here, what I found interesting as a writer was the balance I needed to find between making an immortal detached from mortal values while still being engaging to mortal readers.

Said as a pithy question, if you can outlive everyone's decisions and mistakes, what would it take to make you do anything at all?

I wrote a story that features such an entity and what was interesting about it to me was how even the slightest glimmer of life beyond their void would lead to an all-consuming desire to experience "living" again.

What is a good general purpose laptop on the market right now? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hey lemmings!

I'm looking to get a new laptop in the near future but I keep getting lost in the details of what is good versus what I'd need.

I'm not really a gamer and already have a console for most games, but would like something that can at least run something like league of legends.

I also would be doing some light video editing but even so I don't think I'd need some top of the line cutting edge option.

So I thought I'd ask Lemmy for their thoughts on what's a good general purpose/workish laptop in 2023!
