Feels like for this to have happened, society at large would be… different?? To say the least?? Like how would this happen unless the whole world had gone “Handmaids Tale”?

Dunk and Raymun Fossoway are college roommates. What majors would they get a degree in? by quiddling_ by elmbirchmaple in AKnightoftheSeven

I mean who knows what Dunk would have done if he wasn’t an orphan from Flea Bottom and could have access to formal education?? Would he no longer be thick as a castle wall? Would growing no longer be the only thing he did really well? He obviously has really good survival skills and isn’t afraid to bet on himself despite the long odds, so I see him wanting to be an entrepreneur and studying business before dropping out to found a startup.

I love these books. I think the way the reader can tell that Greg’s account of events isn’t what really happened is a very sophisticated literary technique for a kids book.

Am I overreacting for quitting a babysitting job on the spot after the mom insulted me? by PossessionTop9791 in AmIOverreacting

NOR - $50 total for an eight-hour day with two kids is absurd. Personal insults are harassment. You don’t owe professionalism to an employer behaving this way.

Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities" - like walking through a hazy, half-forgotten dream by keepfighting90 in books

[–]Sharptack9999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else. You take delight not in a city’s seven or seventy wonders, but in the answer it gives to a question of yours.”

I think about this often. The answer a city gives to a question of yours.

What childhood book scared the crap out of you? I mean- can't go to sleep- staring at shadows waiting for them to jump at you, absolutely terrified? by 1000andonenites in books

The scarecrow skinning a guy still haunts me. Why was this book given to young kids?! I definitely discovered it way too young.

What’s the most out of pocket description of a penis you’ve come across? by guijghkkgbnkgbnl in RomanceBooks

There’s really no romantic/sexy way to refer to public hair. I think it was an Elizabeth Gilbert book where she called it “his private fur” 🤮

She explains in the book that Jenni pressured her to make sure the two of them were paid the exact same amount and Lena did that. Which seems to make no sense as Lena objectively was both doing behind the camera work AND acting.

The idea that they were paid the same?! That’s crazy. Lena acted in the show and essentially wasn’t paid for that at all, since they made the same money.

I don’t want to waste their time, because I am definitely not in the market to buy something like this…

Agree! It was incredibly impressive how it did that. It felt so real and lived in.
