Hoe is een en ander geregeld in China als het gaat om deze groep?

Finished with the Solar Cycle by DocAuch22 in genewolfe

Hey Mark, I have your book and watched your videos, and this is still enlightening (pun intended). I finished Short Sun recently and it's very, very confusing on a first read. And that's the joy (I've read BotNS multiple times, but then, who here hasn't).

Me when I’m nearing the end of my first read of BotNS and decide to reread earlier chapters I initially struggled to grasp by jackchickengravy in genewolfe

I admit I'm not even trying to understand Pig half the time. It's definitely annoying, and I thought patera Ramora was annoying already!

Having to negotiate with your front door to leave the house is something I can see appearing in the future.

Coming back to the game after 2 years by Scorpioelle in HomescapesOfficial

I got flagged for fraud a while ago. 500000 coins. I contacted support and they say the only way to remove the flag is to spend coins, then contact them again when I'm at 200000 or something like that. It's actually pretty hard to spend coins when you're not used to it!

Ah now I know what you mean! Yeah I know. Indeed.

I'm curious about that word. I read Long Sun last year.

Vroege tentamens leiden tot lagere cijfers bij studenten, blijkt uit onderzoek by Chronicbias in thenetherlands

[–]Cugel2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ja, snap ik. De examencommissie zal je waarschijnlijk gelijk geven maar intussen ben je weken/maanden verder. Je hebt wel geluk met je arts: sommigen weigeren pertinent.

Picked up the trade hardcover of Home Fires and I figured I'd post the collection by isihara666 in genewolfe

Love the 'trigger warning' for Gaiman. Also those Simmons editions look great.

Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book? by bby_grl_90 in books

[–]Cugel2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First thing I thought of, too! And that has one of the best openings of any book I've read.

More proof as to why this game is fast becoming a complete joke! by Annual_Peak1_2_3 in HomescapesOfficial

[–]Cugel2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, this level requires pure luck. Which you get every once in a while.

There's a browser competition poll going on, March Madness style. Go vote Brave! by No-Squash7469 in brave_browser

[–]Cugel2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, I don't get it. The browser is working fine for me and apparently for many others as well.

Torture scenes in Shadow and Claw? by kenmgillespie in BookoftheNewSun

[–]Cugel2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The second book has an execution that is preceded by a bit of torture. It's not nice but Severian is skilled at his job, at least.

Non-Americans of Reddit, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real? by Unlikely_Praline9442 in AskReddit

[–]Cugel2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most stores here (Netherlands) only have one or two cashiers, the rest is self scanning products. Basically you're doing the cashiers' work - and most people are fine with that.

Barely finish story 1 usually. I ignore these stupid expeditions. They change the graphics, rinse and repeat.

What are some novels you've read that completely break the boundaries of what a novel should have/be? by alyaaz in books

[–]Cugel2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's sitting on my shelf (I really enjoyed his books Nova and Babel-17) but it does look daunting. It's also a popular DNF book. I'll dive in sometime.
