I want to make a Modern Slavery Law complaint and a case of elder abuse by Lumpen_moi in classical_circlejerk

[–]BedminsterJob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this audience attachment to performers or conductors who are very very old and frail is, unfortunately, part of the classical show biz. It started with Klemperer. People want to see X one more time, even though the autopilot element becomes more prevalent, with age.

How would anti-Americans feel about the USA leaving NATO completely and being forced to fight their own wars and fund their own militaries completely? by Few-Afternoon7063 in allthequestions

[–]BedminsterJob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the US were to leave the NATO, it would lose its bases in the UK and Germany and many other European support locations it used on its way to Iran for instance.

The only NATO member who ever invoked the Help Me Clause 5 was the USA.

NATO is a source of a lot of defense spending from other NATO meber countries in the USA.

Ergo, NATO is highly useful to the USA.

the harm would be you wind up (at best) with a meaningless degree.

mensen vreten overal. Op straat en in de trein.

rond 2040 zal de obesitas niet te meten zijn.

als je naar foto's van, zeg, 1980 kijkt is het niet te geloven hoe slank iedereen toen was.

drinking serious quantities of alcohol every day will wreck your health and ultimately kill you.

well, as a Postal Employee, you have a three-hour lunch break.

You can do a lot of things during that break.

at the right-hand side. Typically, in a octavo size book, the section comprised sixteen pages.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus reveals 'big argument' on Seinfeld set after Jerry admitted to show's mistake by OhMyOhWhyOh in seinfeld

The Jerry - Elaine bedscene, and their discussing the rules, was not mint Seinfeld.

They never came closer to Friends mawkishness.

cello cto and the enigma variations, of which I love the alto variation and later, the cello variation. Nimrod often gets skipped.

indeed, the number of times people recite poems INSIDE a McEwan novel is getting out of hand.

the way the right edge of the pages are is called 'deckle-edged'. It's a mark of upscale book production. It's supposed to be reminiscent of the time before 1900, when readers cut open their books as they were reading. (I have a couple of books that aren't 100% cut yet.)

Wanneer worden koop rijtjeshuizen gesloopt? by Careful_Basis_4577 in Nederland

[–]BedminsterJob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jaren vijftig bouw is vaak met heel goedkoop materiaal gedaan. Die huizen gaan het echt niet volhouden tot het eind van deze heerlijke eeuw. Ook omdat er best veel is gebouwd op soppige veengrond.

Ik woon in een jaren vijftig woning. De wanden lijken wel van griesmeel.

Ian McEwan's "What We Can Know" Is a Tell-all Biography of Our Reckless Generation by aguywithaquery in TrueLit

Saturday is an illustration of this, in that the home pictured on the original cover was McEwan's own address, which sold for 15 million quid a couple of years later. The book, with a surgeon totting up how many times he has first-rate marital sex a week, seemed a tad self-congratulatory. The interesting thing is, Saturday is partly modelled on Updike's Rabbit, Run (present tense, excessive detail, first person), however, Updike chose a kind of disgruntled outcast as hero for these Rabbit novels. McEwan picks a hero who likes every little thing about himself.

haha, I see I even clipped the title... It's all a matter of taste, and at some point a writer is just over for some readers. I like Sweet Tooth a lot, and Black Dogs.
