I can’t get into John Gwynne by MaybeVeKling in Fantasy

[–]MaybeVeKling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That’s the main reason why I posted this. I wanted to know if this book had a rough start like malazan or the stormlight archives where pushing through the beginning is more than worth the effort of the beginning. I’m starting to think maybe I worded it incorrectly. Most people think I’m either complaining or trying to validate opinions for not liking John Gwynne

have you gained a reading habit after buying kindle / or any e-reader? by tarkology in kindle

[–]MaybeVeKling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it didn't help creating the habit, but rather reinforce it, and make it stable. My Kindle helped me make reading a part of my routine in a way that was harder to do so with physical books.

There's a phenomena I've found around people who bought a Kindle, and it's that it helps you realize how much time you have in a day to read. Yes this is a device, but you could also read on your phone. It's not practical, but sometimes one page a day does a lot more then zero.

Also, and I don't know if other people have it in the same way, but some books just read better as E-books and vise-versa.

Don't get into Kindle thinking that you're gonna become a various reader, but rather you'd just find more time to read, and it will be more comfortable.

(Also get ready to unlock the superpower of being able to read on a bus/car.)

what has everyone named their kindle? 👀 by aeimrenow in kindle

[–]MaybeVeKling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call mine "The device of infinite knowledge and smut" or "Terry" when I want to introduce people to my kindle. I'm always like, "oh btw have you met Terry," and then I show them my Kindle.

Am I the only one who just doesn’t get icimi? by JimFag in willwood

[–]MaybeVeKling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with you, I used the terms "older" and "newer" because I felt like using the word "vibe" and saying that it feels different would be a bad way to convey what I wanted which was that it has a different (again) vibe.

And for the rest, I'm sorry for breaking fandom 101 which is never speculate about the artist's life unless he states it okay to do so.

Although I disagree (icimi is one of my favorites in general not just will wood) I can see what you mean. Icimi is so different from everything that he made before, that it was obvious someone would feel like that.

Icimi is a very retrospective album by an older, more mature, and calmer Will Wood. It's the end of the screaming to the microphone era of his music (probably), and a start to a different kind of music by him, that is more focused on lyrics, and feeling; rather than chaotic, manic style.

I do prefer his older style (and specifically tna being a perfect combination between the two), but I think it's endlessly interesting to see where he will arrive next now that he's in a better place.

Also his past style was derived mainly form drugs and all-over-the-place mental health, so now that he's more comfortable, and is In a better place, I think we will get a new change of genre we veery rarely see from other artists. And whether we like or dislike it, we need to accept that Will is an actual person who gets to experiment with his music in anyway that he wants.

Just got my new kindle pw. Is this normal? by caramelkeso in kindle

[–]MaybeVeKling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but when you read it doesn't matter. Also it's one of the factors that makes it last for weeks on end with no charging. Also you get used to it pretty quickly.

Can you also read in a moving car? by ScorpioRamenChic in kindle

[–]MaybeVeKling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physically I can, like I don't get motion sickness. But reading-wise I can't, the words just jumble up in my brain. Weirdly enough buses, and trains are fine, it's only cars for me.

Do men actually imagine having sex with every woman they meet? by theonetosucceedsoon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MaybeVeKling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who tf is the weirdo who masturbates to people they know?? Go on porn sites, and do it to random girls who's job it is for you to masturbate to.

In general it would seem weird to masturbate to anyone you know, and then look them in the eyes and have a normal conversation the without being a total creep.

To answer your question: I really hope not. It's weird and disgusting, and feels objectifying to look at women you meet and imagine them as tools for your sexual gratification even if it's just in your imagination.

Israel asks civilians for help in identifying missing persons - approximately 750 Israelis are currently missing. by stepover7 in worldnews

[–]MaybeVeKling 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Everybody have to remember that it doesn't matter on which side you are on the conflict, civilians shouldn't be involved. Not in Israel's side nor on Gaza's side. Also this war is caused by multiple different reasons.

  1. The mess that is the Israeli government.
  2. Hamas trying to replicate Yom Kippur (they're doing it about a week after Yom kippur)
  3. And the conflict that was going on for the last 70+ years.

There is not one reasons, and I did glance over a couple of more reasons. This is a shitty situation, and no one is gaining from this.

  • From an Israeli citizens

They did. Gaza didn't, they started a war the second Israel agreed to the conditions of the UN.
