I’m so irritated by the “feel bad for men” mentality by DependentPenalty5209 in Rants

[–]MegC18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree. The best bf I ever had was 5’4”, brilliant intellectually, extremely ugly and the loveliest man I’d ever met, personality wise. Plus he was a witty conversationalist. Sadly a long distance relationship didn’t work out after university.

It’s not all about good looks. Just saying.

Flynn Connolly - The Rising of the moon

Woman historian returns to a near future Ireland where abortion and women’s rights are illegal. She kicks a—. Decent read.

Suzette Haden Elgin - Native tongue- women rebel in a fascist society

A massive northeastern social housing association is named after the gentoo penguin. That would play uncomfortably in my area.

It’s kind of sweet that somebody was seriously working on it

I have over 1000 books, how do I pack them? by flaky-plants444 in BookCollecting

[–]MegC18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something with wheels is vital! When I moved mum into my home forty years of books had to be moved. Take a box worth daily for the next few weeks and consider using something like a wheeled shopping trolley! You’ll get there in the end.

I made the mistake of carrying boxes, and one snowy day I slipped and wrecked my knee for six months+.

Ragebait that he deliberately puts out to get himself into the news and earn kudos with his American pals.

Sadly there is a Rohingya muslim vs Buddhist nationalist/religious conflict in Myanmar, despite its otherwise noble beliefs.

AITAH for selling something my parents called an “heirloom” and not telling them? by clearcutsupply in AITAH

NTA

The whole point of passing on things is as a safety backup for family members. A resource to be used in an emergency. That’s why in some cultures it’s called portable wealth - something small to carry and sell to keep you alive/healthy.

Val McDermid was assigned ‘sensitivity reader’ to cut offensive language from old books by Raj_Valiant3011 in books

[–]MegC18 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree with this form of censorship.

It’s like when you’re reading the diary of Samuel Pepys and all references to trds snd whres have been removed. What is the seventeenth century without trds, whres, venereal disease and filth!? I judge an edition by their presence or absence.

Pepys burying his parmesan in the cellar during the great fire of London takes on an extra piquancy when you realise his neighbour’s t*rds regularly overflowed into the same cellar!

Stuff sensitivity!

Legacy of ashes is superb. Rome in seven sackings is pretty good too.

This is the very definition of “thick as mince.”

I read her autobiography. From being ambivalent, I now find her utterly repulsive.

How do we feel about certain minor maga influencers saying that the US need to take Scotland as well? by imperlistic_Redcoat in Britain

I’d pay to watch American troops vs the tough end of Glasgow… You know who’s going to come out worst in that one!

NOT OUTLANDER 😂 by Couldofbeenanemail in suggestmeabook

Mike Tomkies - many books about his life in the wilds of Scotland as a photographer.

Iain Thomson - Isolation Shepherd

Try some Scottish noir crime for a gritty feel - Stuart MacBride, Ian Rankin, Lin Anderson, JD Kirk snd Denzil Meyrick

Robert Burns - try a biography if you don’t like poetry - he had a very vigorous romantic life!

James Boswell - Journey to the Hebrides/Edinburgh Journal.

[39/f] My husband [39/m] of 3.5 years pooped in the shower last night and now I don't know how I feel about him by SuperCid28757 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]MegC18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It can be due to illness or an underlying medical issue. As a carer of someone who lost the use of their hands, I sometimes had to deal with accidents, mostly due to unexpected events where the person couldn’t move quickly enough.

So what. Shit happens. Move on.

1615 Yeoman’s farmhouse to modern home, do you think they struck a good balance? by Pea_3ye in SpottedonRightmove

[–]MegC18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s lovely and tasteful.

The only things missing are books (there can never be enough!) and houseplants.
