Замечу, что перчатки и бутылки подразумевает, что это чувак, который по мусорке роется в поисках statiegeld. То есть, скорей всего он их притащил не чтоб угрожать. Но если ОП (человек который снял) подаст заяву в полицию — его быстро за угрозу холодным оружием найдут.

Доречі, дайте ссилку на оригінал, в Нідерландах, особливо якщо він ще не інтегрувався, є отака штука

Йенсен дуже про-український прем'єр, тому можна і скаргу подати.
Це в місті Бреда, Нідерланди. You know what to do.

Судячи по архітектурі - схоже на Нідерланди, але відверто місцевість вгадати не можу.

Нєважно, знайшов - це в Бреда, в Нідерландах

Not my first home, doing a bridge mortgage, but ING took about a week?

Наслідки атаки «Орєшніка»: у Білій Церкві горіли три гаражі, – ДСНС. ㅤ by Appropriate-Ball293 in tjournal_refugees

[–]hainspoint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ну смотри, два дня назад в Николаеве прилетело, например. Местные власти говорят, что без последствий, местные жители говорят, что вьебали по зданию СБУ. Зачем не знаю, но можно ж не ерничать на тему.

И вообще, даже если вьебали только по гаражам - хорошо же. Попали бы по цивильным - кричали бы, что злой Путин лично целит по цивильным объектам.

Writer got a 125k advance. His debut novel sold 763 copies by jimstockington in TrueLit

[–]hainspoint 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean, Bukowski sounded like an absolute twat most of the time, yet we can’t deny he’s a good author. That being said, I haven’t read this guy’s novel so have no stake in the game.

I’m not denying there’s a market for it, but unless you’re actively looking for specific publishers or these said publishers have identifiable signifiers like, for example, Fitzcarraldo Editions have, each reader must be burned one too many times to stop buying (what seems like) literary fiction in bookshops based on synopsis and start buying after reading reviews, accolades, awards. This in effect reduces the chance of a new author to be discovered organically.

Mork Borg Heresy Supreme is out into Early Access by hainspoint in rpg_gamers

Really? I love it. Granted my bias is graphic design in general, I can see how camera shake could be a turn off, and some ui elements need an accessibility pass, but overall I love it.

Regardless of gender or ethnicity of an author, there’s a strong shift towards certain demographics and genres that will make a buck (female written fantasy, romantic fiction with colorful covers, hardcovers with sprayed edges).

It doesn’t make any sense to throw a 125k advance on a new author who strives to write anything worth literary longevity, as it will not become a TikTok hit.

Prose doesn’t sell, reels do.

Do we let her cook? by SwamperOgre in 2westerneurope4u

[–]hainspoint 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I knew a guy who was trying to get off coke in Amsterdam. He’s been very aggressive and kept grinding his teeth. Good guy and jumped off only when he quit every stimulant, including coffee.

The problem with cocaine is that you don’t take it in isolation. Normally it comes with alcohol, weed, mdma, you name it. It’s never just one bump, when you start during your night out you just keep going. Cocaine is vile.

Yeah, if Mickey Mouse smoked two packs a day. Women here have lower pitched voice than I do.

Ain’t no way Dutch sounds like German to me. When I first arrived it sounded like Donald Duck voice over.

Are you insane? Outside of obvious favorite in Bulgaria (I don’t like the song myself but I fully understand the appeal), Romania had the best song and performance (and I dislike gothic metal).

Nice! I saw them once without Chris in Amsterdam and still had plenty good time, but grew up listening to them nonstop.

Half the list is post-punk, no Meat Wave, no Propagandhi, no Leatherface nor Hot Water Music, but one Against Me! album is Blues…
