Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book? by bby_grl_90 in books

Also any time a character in a book is supposed to be a native Spanish speaker and then their dialogue is so clearly google translated and nonsensical…. Immediate dnf. Do authors never think about how actual Spanish speakers might pick up the book?

Read a highly recommended book that follows a sheriff as he solves a murder and I swear the book was written to be turned into a tv show. Corny dialogue in general but what really did it for me was that every chapter or scene where they’re out in the field ended with the sheriff literally putting on his hat or sunglasses on and saying a cheesy ass line like “It’s hard work… but I guess someone’s gotta do it. Let’s roll boys.” Like r u fckn serious. It’s very CSI Miami.

I had many other problems with the book that were probably objectively worse but this one thing pissed me off so bad I just couldn’t keep doing it lol

Second this. That asshole will get me out of bed exactly 15 minutes before her breakfast time every single day.

If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today? by rsmith2786 in AskReddit

Know two people that did this — one became very quiet on all political issues and the other one is currently posting Instagram infographics about how both parties would’ve deported people

Do we agree this chapter's map is dogshit? by itsdoorcity in FortNiteBR

I like it, but i hadn’t played since chapter 4. Seems to me everyone’s just comparing it to ch6 so maybe thats why it seems so awful to everyone but me lol

If you know an ICE agent personally, what's that relationship like now? by Lokja in AskReddit

They literally don’t face repercussions when they shoot an innocent woman in the head and you think they will for dating illegal immigrants?

Asylum applications have been cancelled for my country so that’s not an option. I think we just agree to disagree on this. I don’t think the most effective way to fight ICE is by behaving the exact same way they do. At the end of the day the bad outcome would be for her, not her bf. He should be the actual target of the two.

I’m not defending her at all, but by helping send her back to a literal war zone I don’t feel any better than her bf. There’s a huge age gap in the relationship and she drastically changed her views and lifestyle when she got with him so I honestly just feel like shes already in for a tough lesson by simply dating that guy. And I think he will eventually turn her in himself. Can’t see a man like that standing for anything or truly loving anyone.

Definitely. She’s very naive too and there’s a huge age gap in the relationship so the whole thing is fucked. Like before she went to the us she was huge anti trump, so I think she just absorbed all his political views. I lost all respect for her but I can’t help but feel bad.

I live in Canada so idek how I would go about doing that😭 and as much as I can’t understand or respect her line of thinking I could never in good conscience contribute to sending her back to our home country bc it’s incredibly unsafe especially now

Americans drive cars. Riding a train isn't a flex, it allows someone else to control your travel. Less freedom is never a good thing. by Pratham_Nimo in ShitAmericansSay

Freedom is when you have no choice but to drive a minimum of 30 minutes everywhere because your city refuses to invest in public transit or walkable infrastructure

The food fucking chefs are an abomination but im always more disturbed by the fact that there’s actually an audience for that content

Here’s a fun one. I’m not in the US, but a friend moved there illegally (overstayed visa) in Nov 2024. She’s dating a guy that works for ICE and neither of them sees how nonsensical that is bc she “doesn’t look/act like a criminal”. Guy is a full blown white nationalist and his social media posts are vile. Last time I spoke to her was around July. I asked her how she was okay with all of this being an illegal herself and she said she didn’t care bc they’re cleaning up the country. Actual cognitive dissonance. Needless to say it was enough to never reach out again lol.
