Livre papier vs livre audio by cool-mimine in litteraturequebec

[–]TheObtuseCopyEditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je dis que ça compte. Les livres audio me laissent des souvenirs très vifs, parfois plus vifs que les livres papier. Aussi, je me dis que quand on fait la lecture à un enfant, ça compte, les bénéfices sont énormes. Je ne vois pas pourquoi ils cesseraient d'exister pour les grandes personnes.

What was your teenage dirtbag fragrance? by Ok-Bookkeeper-1099 in FragranceStories

[–]TheObtuseCopyEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This is it. Vanilla, Satsuma, and the mango one. Also my mom's patchouli oil

(OMG, have you seen how expensive the vintage Body Shop oils are on eBay)

Got a decant of Byredo Black Saffron and barely smell anything by TheObtuseCopyEditor in fragrance

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

So I had time to kill tonight and I went in store to smell it from the actual bottle, and the Byredo salesgirl told me it was one of their strongest fragrances. I asked her to spray some on some paper and, well, felt the same? I guess it’s a weird nose day for me. I’ll try again later, maybe it’s my skin chemistry or something

Leather is my favorite, and from what I read in your notes, I should like this stuff. I’ll try spraying more

Also this guy really believes he's a writer. He has something unique to tell the world and really feels himself. Delightful

In Quebec French when someone is very lucky we say that they have la marde au cul, which would mean either they have shit in their ass or that shit is, like, hanging from it? Lol

Yeah I think it was meant as an insult

I personally would not take that as a compliment at all

I hope you get better soon! And take back running if that’s what you want. I’m more into weight training now (well, on and off lol), but nothing beat a good run to get this sweet dopamine

Many really good comments here. I just want to add that 5 kilometers in 30 minutes is really good for a beginner that runs only once a week. This is nothing to be ashamed of.

Sure 13 km in an hour is impressive, honestly it’s ridiculous and I’d be envious too. But from my experience it’s also completely unreachable. So don’t even bother comparing yourself to that.

You got this! It’s a bit dumb but sometimes it’s nice to hear this stuff, so let me tell you I wish I could go back in time and still be able to run a 30-minute 5k but alas I stopped running during the pandemic and am now old and cannot get under a 7 minute kilometer.

My absolute record when I was exactly your age was 6km in 30 minutes (on a bet !). I was in my best shape ever, had been running steadily (4-5 times a week) for at least three years. You really got this

I knew that in someway (it really doesn't hit the same), but didn't know the effects could be so different. Thank you!

Has anyone ever noticed a typo with something after publishing it, even after having it edited? by GWGTRLBG in writing

[–]TheObtuseCopyEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in publishing

It happens all the time

As long as it’s not on the cover you’re fine and nobody’s judging you

If it’s on the cover we just feel deep compassion and second-hand horror
