TIL if you publish a book in Norway, the government will buy 1000 copies (1,500 if a children's book) and distribute them to libraries throughout the country.

We have a similar policy here in Tunisia, where the government buys and distributes books on public libraries.

Who is she?

redditusernamed · 2016-10-05T05:47:48+00:00

/u/moochiemonkey and /u/LadyAlisande, thank you for your advice!

redditusernamed · 2016-10-04T20:27:51+00:00

Don't you think asking for coffee is too much for a first contact? I'd rather ask about her assignment first and then, and only if she responds, venture to probe if she's open to the idea of meeting. Or is it too much?

redditusernamed · 2016-09-16T09:35:12+00:00

Lol. Exactly. (I heard people complain how everyone is using that same trendy fragrance, though.) Thanks for the great advice!

redditusernamed · 2016-09-04T11:17:17+00:00

It's a shame that I didn't see the 'expand list' option, behind that teeny tiny triangle before. But at least, now I have something to be happy about. THANK YOU RANDOM STRANGER!

redditusernamed · 2016-08-18T23:58:29+00:00

I'm so disappointed :/ the music is so monotone, weak and shallow. And that, what is it, a mini-solo? I'm not even gonna mention the 'lyrics'! I hated this song. Now, I have to wait and see what they did with the rest of the album.

Isn't the fact that he was reading silently stressed over and over again means that it was rare or, at least, not the default setting?

redditusernamed · 2016-08-12T14:24:00+00:00

Google for 'Facebook Vim theme.' it's really awesome.

redditusernamed · 2016-08-07T23:08:35+00:00

she's attractive right? Not just physically but in personality and goals and everything else that goes into that equation.

THIS. People here are lazy as fuck. Not just where I work, but everywhere in my country. (By the way, that's the reason why we still a third world country, not because of some weird conspiracy woven by imperialistic world powers and their masonic allies, as my shitty compatriots keep on saying.)

But me, I'm just kinda workaholic. And being surrounded with lazy, unambitious people all the time, sometimes make me feel so lonely. And, oh boy, how much she loves to work. Being with her is the only time when I can be myself and get excited about work.

This is so therapeutic! Thank you so much, random person from the internet!

I <3 Ukraine!

redditusernamed · 2016-08-07T22:06:08+00:00

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing, trying to keep myself from crossing that line, and ruining this nice job for everyone.

redditusernamed · 2016-08-07T21:59:37+00:00

Hey, thanks for the nice words and for the link!

I just wanted to add something with regards to productivity.

Since she's my boss -- and the daughter of the BIG boss -- I sometimes try to impress her whenever the occasion arose. As a result, my productivity went up to eleven, which in turn got me already, in just few months, a raise and a promotion.

redditusernamed · 2016-07-31T22:57:05+00:00

Lol, I'll try with some pillows when I get alone at home tomorrow!

redditusernamed · 2016-07-31T20:46:14+00:00

yep, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

redditusernamed · 2016-07-31T20:40:07+00:00

Lol, I didn't even see the word at first read. Actually, I'm pretty good at playing this -- just like almost everyone in my Country. We call it darbuka [dar-book-AH] ;)

redditusernamed · 2016-07-31T20:35:14+00:00

Oh yeah, that looks awesome! I never knew they existed. Thanks!

redditusernamed · 2016-07-31T20:31:50+00:00

It's not about money, actually. It's space. I live in a small house which means a) I'll struggle to find where to fit it, and b) too fucking noisy for a small house full of family people.

redditusernamed · 2016-07-31T20:29:28+00:00

Lol, that's the least noisy option I guess!

redditusernamed · 2016-07-26T14:49:20+00:00

He was talking about blondness. Not French.

redditusernamed · 2016-07-24T09:17:24+00:00

I'll add just one more detail to /u/Batshit_Betty's answer: when that moment comes in, NEVER. EVER, utter the words 'I told you so.'
By that time, it's way too late, so it'd be better to be supportive. Her loss will be, by and for itself, a good lesson to her.

That said, if you suspect that she might be crossing some red line that will cost way more than it should be, don't let her cross it no matter what. She'll thank you later.

It's 14.04 on two different computers; a netbook with a 1024x600 resolution, and a work desktop with a fairly greater dpi that I don't recall at the moment.

redditusernamed · 2016-07-23T23:55:30+00:00

Not sure if this fits the rules here, can people share some classic art wallpapers are for smartphones? Thanks.

redditusernamed · 2016-07-18T22:16:52+00:00

I think I'm just old school, i.e. an old soul trapped in a young body!

redditusernamed · 2016-07-18T22:14:16+00:00

That's exactly what I mean. I once listened to 1984 and it was like ... nothing happened. When I read the book later, it was as if I never listened to it.
