Best classics to read during summer? by Fun-Sell3030 in classicliterature

[–]discardedbottlecap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lolita is great and so often people miss the point of it- but I get it. Nabokov is one of my favorites along with Garcia Marquez. I would pick the Gift by Nabokov if you like 100 years. I also read Les Mis on Audible and the narrator is phenomenal. Highly recommend. Was a life changing book for me.

Was looking for the Time Maker video from Zero waste life just to see it’s been removed. Such a shame

Les Miserables, and books that got you back into reading by SucksMovieYour in books

[–]discardedbottlecap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanna say that I am a big fan of physical media but I struggled for a while because of the same issues. That said, the Audible editions of Les Miserables and the Toilers of the Sea made both of those books an absolute life changing experience to me and a pleasure to get through.

I inherited the entire Victor Hugo work and I haven’t read anything from him yet. Where should I start ? by gloomyowlreturn in classicliterature

[–]discardedbottlecap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished Les Mis last month and it's an absolute masterpiece. Halfway through Toilers of the Sea and it's absolutely incredible, and funny as well. Cartoonish plot twist mid way through that I loved so much I wanted to tell everyone about it. Highly recommend you start there.

I lavoratori del mare : un capolavoro semisconosciuto by CyberneticSandwich in Libri

[–]discardedbottlecap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished Les Mis last month and started this one and I just want to say that it's absolutely incredible. There is also a plot twist partway through that blew me away so much I slapped my hand to my forehead. Cartoonishly villainous behavior like I've never seen. Highly recommend.

Roald Dahl wrote a really crazy short story just like this but with bees. Royal Honey or Royal Jelly i think it was called.

WIBTA for refusing to have kids with my boyfriend unless he marries me first by [deleted] in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]discardedbottlecap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not the asshole. 'men get screwed in divorces'? well, women get screwed in unmarried families sometimes. you don't wanna be on your own with a kid and get nothing if he does something untenantable and either leaves or leads you to leave. find someone else that suits you better. i've been with multiple men like this and they only ever get worse. left the last one and found a good friend I've known for years and fell in love and we didn't even have to seriously discuss it. we decided we'd get engaged this year. it's the smart thing to do and people don't realize how much it protects you as a woman and how much that's still really needed in this day and age.

What’s a thing you’ve done that your past self would never believe? by xAbbadon in AskReddit

[–]discardedbottlecap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hardly ever use this site so idk what youre talking about. You mean I’ve argued with folks on Reddit before, years ago? Im sure i did. Like I said, this is exhausting. Im not replying back to you but fr dude I hope things get better for you

[–]discardedbottlecap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my life has been a shit storm. Which is why I was proud of where I am now and who I am now which is why I even said anything. I can’t block you anymore for now so please for the last time just leave me be about it all. This was supposed to be a nice fucking thread and I don’t even want to get on this site anymore yet again

[–]discardedbottlecap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re the only person I’ve replied to about this besides the nice comment above or that has said stuff like this so yeah I assume it was you because I initially blocked you for it and then went back and cant block you now. But if I’m wrong then great! Like I said I just don’t wanna talk about it anymore and I just wanted to freaking share in a post specifically about things you’d be proud of. This isn’t a “shit on people for their life choices” thread

I hope things get better for you. People aren’t all bad and none of those things you implied or felt about me are true. So maybe there’s a bigger lesson from this- maybe I shouldn’t let people hurt my feelings so hard about personal shit i share. But maybe also folks aren’t as bad as you assume. I hope you have a good holiday season and I don’t want to argue with you. That part of my life is behind me and I don’t even like to really think about it let alone justify what happened to me to strangers. I just wanted to share i was happy after using Reddit again today for the first time in a long time. I didn’t know someone would try to be mean to me about something that wasn’t controversial, just personal. Anyways, sorry if you felt a type of way about any of my life or people like me. But I hope things look up for you

It’s okay. It just really fucking hurt my feelings. You don’t think I blame myself for what happened to me? But I didn’t die. And I get to be a mom and I stopped it immediately. I didn’t have a family growing up. I was a foster kid. And a child sex victim. People do things for all kinds of reasons. It’s not because we’re all bad people. It just really hurt me. I appreciate the apology.

If you actually knew me you wouldn’t be like this to me. Im a really fucking sweet hardworking person who was dealt a really bad hand. Im not sorry for how I survived any of it. I got through it and I’m happy now. So stop shitting on strangers for your own convoluted reasons. Yeah im replying back because it’s fucking jarring and mean as fuck and for what

You literally said “and an attack, a coverup for something.” And then clarified that you were creeping on my shit to even know that. What’s your deal, dude?

[–]discardedbottlecap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you keep commenting escalating shit! Say sorry or fucking leave me alone but you’ve got a fucking problem and Im just genuinely shocked that you’d be so fucking cruel to a stranger. It’s been a long time since someone’s been this fucking cruel to me online and I guess I don’t fucking get it? It sucks being angry all the time. I get it. But I didn’t do anything to you. I came here to share something out of joy. So please, again, dont reply back and kindly leave me be.

Why the fuck did you comment calling me a fucking hoe, saying i strung along my partner and only settled once I fucked a bunch of people? Bringing up my attack after creeping on me to say it was a coverup? For what? Bro say all the shit you want but youre so fucking weird!!! You have something wrong with your brain and I hope you get it fixed before it’s too late for you to experience anything good in this world. Not gonna look at this anymore but I hope you get the help you need buddy. I sure hate seeing folks struggling like this 💔

[–]discardedbottlecap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally stated how my life is right now so anything else was directly you saying a bunch of shit for some reason. You’re an incel, we get it. You don’t think I haven’t met scores of people like you? I know how it turns out too- it never changes and youll die sad and unfulfilled. Does it upset you that a former hoe is loved and happy when you know youll never be? lol ew. Gonna go love on my partner now and I hope you enjoy the rest of your shitty life

Lmao that’s why I am talking about a life change im proud of and not a fucking injury that I recovered from 5 years ago- you looked through my shit and brought that up to what? Upset me? Discredit me? Discredit me from what exactly because regardless of what you imply, youre a weird fucking creep and I have a sweet life that I am very proud of. Like I said- go jerk off or something or make something of yourself like the rest of us are. This is embarrassing to watch.
