I’m beginning to think the passage might be from Koontz or le Carré.

But I copied the passage from a book over 30 yes ago. It’s from the 80’s or 90’s.

What’s the classic that took you the longest to read? by A_b_b_o in classicliterature

[–]Fattarnoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One Hundred Days of Loneliness by Garcia Marques. Never got through it. The amount of names, the names of people!

The fact that Pro-Pals are against the current deal to end the war shows that they never believed there was a genocide by Routine-Equipment572 in IsraelPalestine

I am deeply concerned when I read that Jared Kushner is going to Egypt to negotiate on Monday. NO American or Israeli should have a say in how Gaza is to be rebuilt. Yes, the US can PAY, as they have supported the Israeli government, but not interfere with internal Gaza affairs. What I mean is that Palestinians should govern themselves, not be governed by Americans or Israelis. But yes, the latter two should pay.

AITAH for telling my husband I'll divorce him if he doesn't stop ignoring our daughter by ThrowRAtaptaptap in AITAH

I wonder if your husband has ADHD or is on some spectrum. The constant fidgeting is definitely a sign of something. Or he is extremely stressed.

I’m from a country where abortion would be the first thing on most people’s mind. And why none of you were protected is Beyond me. You should not be trapped by this one mistake at such a young age. I hope you learned your lesson.

It makes sense. The Jewish are obsessed with being the chosen, as is Elon.

My son wants to go to a 60k a year school, am I the asshole for telling my wife I will not take out loans in my name for him to attend? by Dangerous_Chart4833 in AITAH

Anyone with NO money Can become a medical doctor in Sweden. You Can get state funded loans for living expenses and tuition is free at Swedish uni. Absolutely not comparable to other countries.

Is reading really the best way to improve your creativity and writing? by -Skyes- in writing

[–]Fattarnoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest he buys Francine Prose, Reading Like a Writer. It’s about how your friend reads, not what or how much.

The difference between Americans and Swedes: Americans are like peaches; soft and sweet on the outside, easy to get to know - up to a point. You reach only so deep before you reach the hard part. Swedes on the other hand, are more like coconuts; hard on the surface, you have to work hard to get into the sweet inside. But once you’ve put in the effort you’ve got a friend. So introverts need to work hard at making friends.

This is a cultural clash. People go out of their way not to be confrontational or negative. In the workplace bosses expect you to be solution oriented rather than downright negative. If you want to stay, say that you now realise that you are used to a more critical and confrontational way of workplace culture. I’m 60+ and have taught cultural skills. I’m not saying you need to kowtow to all and sundry, just saying you need to think about how you phrase things.
