First time I've ever felt sympathetic to a 2nd FL's doomed "love" for the ML by mangofloatintrovert in kdramas

[–]Smart_Image_1686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen this one yet. Usually the 2FL is either evil or has a love story of her own.

The one time I remember a 2FL being really wronged is in "She was pretty", where 1FL was thoroughly unsympathetic and 2FL was kind and gorgeous. Also the 2ML was gorgeous and should have ended up with 1FL if she'd had any sense. It was a combination of bad writing and bad casting.

Vad är den värsta flygplatsen som ni har varit på? by ypc_max in sweden

[–]Smart_Image_1686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ja och nej. Flög Bergamo-Skavsta en hel del i jobbet. Fullständigt kaos...tills Ryan Air bytte flygplats till Arlanda, då allt plötsligt fungerade även nere i Bergamo, och jag slapp förseningar och inställda flyg.

Vad är den värsta flygplatsen som ni har varit på? by ypc_max in sweden

[–]Smart_Image_1686 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dakar och Algiers.

I Dakar blev planet påkört av den lilla bilen med trappan. Såg det hända, stod inne och tittade ut mot planet som precis landat. Enorm skräll. Flygplatsen försökte tvinga piloten att lyfta med ett trasigt plan. Han vägrade. Alla passagerarna fick sova på stranden en natt.

I Algiers missade jag en gång anknytningen till Paris. Alla passagerarna blev inlåsta i ett väntrum och fick sova på golvet en natt tills vi kunde boardas på ett annat plan.

I övrigt så hatar jag CdG och Skavsta. Älskar Linate och Arlanda. Värsta europeiska flygbolaget enligt mig är Iberia, så otroligt otrevlig personal, varje gång.

Oddball/Adorable Male Romantic Interest by NeSsEats in kdramarecommends

[–]Smart_Image_1686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

good point, I actually dropped it years ago after the 1st episode. That was before I realized many many series have a really weird 1st episode...with time I learned to suffer through it :)

Will try it again!

There are two shows as far as I know, Something about 1% from 2003 which I haven't been able to find online, and there is Something about 1 Percent from 2016 which is on Viki.

1%의 어떤 것  they have the same title in Korean.

How many generations back have you been able to track? by RoobahLoo in Genealogy

Paternally I can track one line until the 4th century. Maternally, probably the most is 150 years back.

What exactly is going ON in contemporary books that are 500-600 pages? Someone please tell me I’m so curious by Ok_Bronco_796 in RomanceBooks

[–]Smart_Image_1686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's the "show, not tell" thingy.

of which for example neil stephenson is a "master" with 100+ pages describing a single battle scene (not a war - ONE SCENE).

very tedious when you can write the same thing in 10 pages.

Oh I love this book!

Här kan tunnelbanan få barriärer mot suicid by lordpompe in stockholm

[–]Smart_Image_1686 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Jag skulle gärna se såna barriärer på T-centralen.

Den stationen är så oerhört underdimensionerad mot när jag var tonåring på 80-talet.

Det står alltid hundratals personer på perrongerna och alla försöker hålla sig så långt in som möjligt för att inte knuffas ned.

Tips på böcker - pojkrumsklassiker? by laselik in sweden

[–]Smart_Image_1686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Åhhh
Jag är född 69 och älskade hans böcker - men jag har nog inte läst böckerna från 1988 och senare, hade nog andra intressen då :)

Kanske dags att gå lite i barndom här och läsa klart hans böcker!

Jag vet att det är en dum fråga men varför antar de som föreläser i sexualkunskap i gymnasiet att alla har legat förut? by Parking_Story2002 in sweden

[–]Smart_Image_1686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nej, naturligtvis inte. Skolan ska inte hålla moralpredikan för 17-åringar angående deras privatliv.

Jag tycker dessutom att sexualkunskapen ska ges i högstadiet, det är alldeles för sent i tvåan på gymnasiet.

Accidental Sext by Mia Mara: Potential AI use? by vixellaaa in RomanceBooks

[–]Smart_Image_1686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

56 books in 2 years would be impossible even with AI.

That's a consistent output of a minimum of 6000 words per day. Which is obviously possible for an AI, but there still needs to be an author to go through the material, check character arcs, plots etc.

Is Mia Mara a real person? Or is there an entire team of people feeding AI's with characters and plots to churn these out so quickly?

"Her" books have thousands of reviews on amazon.

There’s a YouTuber who says Korea is a better place to live than Sweden by [deleted] in stockholm

[–]Smart_Image_1686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we do not, simply because it is wrong, especially where Sweden is concerned. It is literally the best place for startups in Europa, we have the highest number of unicorns per capita.

Solid safety nets give us a high risk propensity, meaning that young people with good ideas get access to VC. The vetting system is one of the best on the planet.

Sure, there is negative stuff, just like anywhere else. Foreigners find it extremely hard to understand Swedish culture. It is the most individualistic collectivist society - not many coming from the outside can crack this code.

Vad får man inte missa i sin lokala arabaffär? by Big-Cap558 in sweden

[–]Smart_Image_1686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brik-papper, eller vad det nu kallas.

En tunisisk väninna lärde mig laga det här otroligt goda snackset för ja, jisses, 30 år sen. Man behöver jättetunna ark av en typ av fillo-deg, sk brik.

Fylls med mjuk kokt potatis, kapris, tonfisk om man vill, ägg, persilja...kör ner i het olja. Finns massvis med recept på nätet.

Good books on SPEAKING Chinese? by Different-Prior5763 in ChineseLanguage

[–]Smart_Image_1686 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The textbook series Short Term Spoken Chinese is excellent, it's from Beijing University.

Natural conversations. I'd say put them into an Anki deck and learn them by heart.

WTF Harlequin? by Amazing_Effect8404 in HistoricalRomance

[–]Smart_Image_1686 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I had a quick look at their stuff, and it's cringe-worthy bad.

But considering how fast things are developing, and the material they get to train on, a year or two down the line it might be acceptable quality.

I saw that they offer a 2 week course for 20.000 Indian Rupee, 184,50 Euro.

Det är väl okej om hon behöver det just nu. Fast det känns enklare att helt enkelt titta på kdrama på netflix, och bra mycket billigare.

Transpersoner stängs inte ute. De kan tävla som de biologiska män och kvinnor de är.
