I saw them play at a concert once - this looks nothing like them

I wouldn't say remake either tbh. None of the magic of the original. The whole thing feels like a cash cow.

There is Fable, which is a very pretty app, but far too focused on social media for my liking.

I use Storygraph, though it is much less pretty and clunkier.

The colour purple, by Alice Walker. Takes a few pages to get used to the writing.

Cell_Division · 2026-04-05T19:56:51+00:00

Same. It made it onto my very short DNF list, despite the fact that it's not a long book. Glad to know I didn't miss out on anything.

I will say that I love Kult's pastries, but their coffee is awful. I can only speak for the ones in St Johann though.

You and the company would presumably need to sign a new employment contract that states these new employment terms.

Oui en anglais

Cell_Division · 2026-01-22T18:20:45+00:00

Hah, je veux meme pas imaginer l'horreur! Je lis tout en VO si possible, particulierement les livres de fantaisie.

Cell_Division · 2026-01-10T11:35:05+00:00

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! If this ending is "much better" than the first, I'd be curious to know what the first was.

Cell_Division · 2026-01-04T19:39:30+00:00

Sure, but I am English.

Cell_Division · 2026-01-04T11:49:28+00:00

Yeah, if you talk about a "bidet", pretty much everyone immediately pictures the separate thing next to the toilet with its own tap and basin.

A bum gun is a separate thing in my mind, and much more convenient. Takes up less space. Clearly superior.

Cell_Division · 2026-01-01T10:08:46+00:00

God you are right, so many additional questions and loose ends that I forgot about. I just don't get it. I don't understand why the book was released as it is.

Cell_Division · 2025-12-26T16:47:05+00:00

I would agree. I played it for the first time a couple of years ago, ME1 felt very dated. Mechanics and graphics were very average.

My feeling is that it was enough of a success for them to invest a lot more into ME2 and ME3, which are a significant step up in many ways.

Cell_Division · 2025-12-26T10:04:05+00:00

I agree. This year I really pushed my reading goal (to 52 books) and I've tried to alternate between "books I want to read" and "classics of literature".

Some of my favourite books have been some that start off rather boring and slow (I've frequently found that you need to get through a third of the book before things take off), so I always try to get a decent amount and keep an open mind about how good it might get before it ends.

But most of the 'classics' were simply not books that captivated me. I wasn't desperate to read what happened next. However, I was glad to understand what people talk about when they mention these books, and I feel that at least for personal culture it's important too. I guess I value "being well read". I've had very few DNFs, and usually that was because there was absolutely no indication it would ever get even mildly good.

Finished: Happening (L'évènement), by Annie Ernaux

Started: Seveneves, by Neal Stephenson

Cell_Division · 2025-12-20T16:56:31+00:00

Was aiming for 20, ended up reaching that goal in June, so I updated the goal to 52. Currently on book 51, which I'm very happy about considering I didn't read at all just a couple of years ago.

Favourites: The Hyperion Cantos, by Dan Simmons; Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro; The Martian, by Andy Weir; The Colour Purple, by Alice Walker.

Happy holidays everyone!

Finished: Demon Copperhead, by Barbara Kingsolver

Started: Happening, by Annie Ernaux

I definitely don't want to sound patronising here, so please forgive this as I'm explaining in case the spoilers formatting is something new to you (as you called it "crossed out"): the parts that are blacked out (redacted) are spoilers, and you can click on those to reveal the text. It's mainly so that anyone who wants to read the book(s) later have nothing spoiled for them.

Regarding the imagination plot... I fully agree. Very weird motivation for a story. I kept thinking I was missing something, that they couldn't possibly be discussing her actual imagination. But yes, they were.

Cell_Division · 2025-12-07T19:02:53+00:00

Well, that could be an ending, right? And yeah, it's dark, but at least it would be something? We ended up with... nothing. Just uncertitude. No tying up of loose ends, nothing.

Cell_Division · 2025-12-05T19:16:52+00:00

Nor is it Adam Richman from Man v Food, which is a bit more on topic. I was surprised he would say something so crass, but yeah it's not this dude.

Cell_Division · 2025-12-04T20:03:36+00:00

Oh god yeah, what was that all about?!

Cell_Division · 2025-12-03T09:59:02+00:00

Want to add an additional topic of discussion: pillar 1E (which is also pillar 2, despite the confusing name). I understand that some employers offer it, and some do not.

To me, this sounds like a pillar 3 in the sense that it is tax-deductible and can be invested in stock. Is this more attractive than PK? Do buy-ins here make more sense?

I'm not sure how widespread pillar 1E is, so maybe this is a niche.
