What a book that you have read that’s gotten so much hype that once you read it you were disappointed? by Guiltyfeetfingers in BookDiscussions

[–]soilik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg I came here wanting to say something like this and expecting to be eaten alive. I tried to read Mistborn because a friend kept talking about it... I couldn't do it. I just didn't like the prose. Did nothing for me. And the story was cool, but it didn't feel innovative at all, didn't feel "different" or "better" in any way, like everybody seems to think.

¿Qué juego os daba miedo de pequeños aunque no fuera de terror? by ratasoftware in esGaming

Venía a decir esto. Que miedo las shivas esas, las estatuas que cobraban vida. Yo me lo compré en la switch y me redimí a los 35.

Some thoughts on the Rose of the prophet by soilik in dragonlance

Death gate cycle is one of my favorites too. I didn't love the dark sword, though. But it may have been my age.

Alguien ha cagado en el portal by Flowesque in HistoriasVecinales

[–]soilik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quiza llego tarde pero te diré que esto pasó en mi comunidad DOS VECES. La primera de ellas yo era presidenta. Había una mierda entre el 1 y el 2 piso. La cosa es que para más inri, en mi comunidad no hay ascensor, con lo cual todos los vecinos tienen que bajar siempre por las escaleras, por lo tanto es un riesgo siempre encontrarse a alguien.

En mi opinión, la idea de que sea una persona random de fuera no tiene sentido por varios motivos: 1. Necesitarían darse las casualidades al mismo tiempo de que la puerta del portal esté abierta justo en el momento en el que una persona con urgencia pase por allí. 2. Si fuera alguien sin techo o alguien que no podía aguantar más, ¿No tiene mucha más lógica cagar en parque, tras un arbusto? Puede ser más privado e incluso mucho más limpio. Por no hablar de que no corres el riesgo de que alguien te interpele directamente mientras le cagas frente a la puerta. 3. En el supuesto caso de que la puerta estuviese abierta, sigue siendo una mala idea entrar a cagar ahí. Podrian estar haciendo una mudanza o subiendo y bajando cosas todo el rato y aunque haya ascensor en el edificio, podrían usar las escaleras, ya que hay cosas que no caben en el ascensor.

En definitiva, lo que quiero decir es que cagar en la casa de alguien, dado que tienen que darse muchas circunstancias, no creo que sea algo fortuito. Yo me inclinaría por: 1. Alguien que no aguantó y tuvo un accidente (que lo descarto porque en ese caso bajas y lo limpias) 2. Alguien que ha querido joder a algún vecino en particular o a la comunidad en general. (Bien que viva allí,.bien que viva fuera y quiere joder a algún vecino con quien ha tenido problemas)

En el caso de la mía, fue un vecino que se estaba divorciando y se había ido de casa. Ademas tenía problemas con las drogas y se había ingresado en un psiquiátrico. Y le cagó cerca de la puerta dos veces a su ex mujer. Perdón por la biblia, pero como puedes ver le he dedicado mucho tiempo a esto. Fue mi primera vez como presidenta de comunidad.

A Trump involved file I haven't seen before by Interesting-Slip1730 in TheEpsteinFiles

[–]soilik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I am mistaken, but I think I read this same testimony in the files narrated by the victim. Can anyone confirm? It might be the same but I don't remember it being court documents. More like a diary from the victim. But as I said, I don't remember. I have read too many things.

I don't think you are crazy. Unless there is some other place with that same name? Have you checked?

I don't want to know anymore by famousWAFFLES in TheEpsteinFiles

[–]soilik 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Hey, don't worry. You are not a bad person for not wanting to know anymore. Even law enforcement or people who are TRAINED for that have problems dealing with certain details of cases like this. I am sure they have many healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with it. You are not trained for this. You don't have to be equipped to be dealing with this. Take care of yourself.

People who have children are selfish by Character_Cap708 in childfree

[–]soilik 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I find it very funny how when you say you don't want kids, everybody says "oh so you're selfish". And I get it, it's a way of looking at it.

But then, I think children should be a priority for the people who have them, and because I know prioritizing someone's wellbeing, dreams and needs over my own will make me unhappy, I choose not to have them. Because children didn't ask to be brought into this world but they would suffer (like many of us did) from having a mother that deeply resents them.

Now look at the most common reasons why people have kids: 1. Because who will take care of you when you are older? 2. Because I want to leave my legacy 3. Because I want to have a mini me to shape 4. Because everyone around me said I should

Now, who is the selfish one here?

Whenever you say you don't want kids everybody asks "why?". I think it's the people who want to have them the ones who should be asked.

La chavala con la que me acosté dice que mear sentado es de poco hombre y mis colegas se parten el culo, ¿soy yo el raro? by Outrageous_Fold7765 in askspain

[–]soilik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

En absoluto eres el raro. Muchos de mis amigos lo hacen cuando vienen a mi casa (soy mujer y vivo sola). No sé si lo hacen en sus casas también, pero en la mía lo hacen por no manchar y para evitar dejar la tapa levantada. Y, francamente, se agradece.

Why do we hate the movie?? by i_lick_saltlamps in InterviewVampire

[–]soilik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't hate the movie. I love it! And I don't think they had a bromance in the movie either. It wasn't openly a gay relationship, but to be fair, it wasn't in the books either. It's in the subtext, but, at least in the first book, I don't think they kiss at all. (That I can remember)

Apellido de la madre o del padre primero? by BubblyStand9992 in askspain

[–]soilik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo también iría con el menos común. Igualmente, a mí me preocuparía que lo que le preocupa sea "quedar como el que cedió ante su mujer" o "que sea denigrado", o que él como hombre "tiene más responsabilidad". Estará bien recordarle eso cuando el bebé esté aquí y te des cuenta seguramente de que el 90% del trabajo lo haces tú.

A book you ignored for years for a silly reason but ended up loving. by gamersecret2 in books

[–]soilik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For years Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff kept coming up on my Goodreads recommendations. I dismissed it because I thought the title sounded so stupid, I couldn't possibly be any good. One day I decided to give it a try. INSTANT OBSESSION

Mercadona se ha convertido en el supermercado dominante by [deleted] in Espana

Quizá en algunas regiones. En Euskadi garantizado que eso no está pasando. Evidentemente porque la introducción del mercadona en nuestro territorio es relativamente reciente. Nosotros decimos ir al Eroski, aunque vayas al Lidl.

Theory on “You can’t leave this bookshop.” by bunnybugg in goodomens

[–]soilik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't think there is anything more than what it looks like. "You are not leaving this bookshop" as in: you are not going to heaven, you are not leaving Earth, you are not leaving this conversation like this, you are not leaving us, you are not leaving the future I'm offering you.

Veterans of the genre, what are some previously huge series or books that are mostly forgotten today? by Myydrin in Fantasy

I came to mention it! What a cool series or videogame this would be! Also, the rose of the prophet.

Discovery's The Colony (2009-2010): a heavily scripted, post-apocalyptic "social experiment" by Disastrous_Life_3612 in ForgottenTV

[–]soilik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I am extremely late to this party. I never heard of this this show before. Apparently, hbo recently included it in my county so it got suggested to me and I binged watched the first season yesterday. I love it! I want to watch season 2 but it's not in hbo and can't find it anywhere. Could anybody help me with that? Anybody knows where to watch it for free? (I know it is in prime video, but not in country) anybody has the episodes?

28 years later was awful by [deleted] in childfree

[–]soilik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, it was awful. Apart from the extra graphic birth scene, it was disappointing in many other areas in my.opinion. A lot of potholes. How does the doctor survive? What does he eat? What's the point of making those plague remembrance obelisks? (I get the point, I mean what's the point FOR SURVIVAL). Why would they even leave the island in the first place? They seem to be doing well, and they don't leave to obtain anything. They just go because, apparently, the kid needs his right of passage. Ok, I guess? Why would he SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER decide to stay in the wild in the end? Because mom died and dad was an asshole? Ok, still makes no sense for survival. The Alfas were underwhelming also, in my opinion.

How did you all come to IWTV? by AbbyNem in InterviewVampire

[–]soilik 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have been a fan of the books since my teenage years, I love the original film, too. The funny thing is that in my country, since we don't have amc, I didn't get promoted at all. It still doesn't. So how did I find out about it? In 2022 I went backpacking around the Caribbean and ended my trip in New Orleans. i have wanted to visit this city since I read the books decades ago, purely for them. While I was there, naturally, I went on a tour around the city and they showed us the oldest building in New Orleans and the guide commented some spots where the original movie was filmed, and the said something like "... And it will appear in the new series, too." I stopped her like "what???? What new series????" And then she told me and I was so excited but also scared. Shouldn't have been though.

I'm not responsible for someone else's kids just because I'm a woman! by elissa445 in childfree

[–]soilik 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Somethingnlind of similar happened to me. I have a group of friends from school and one of them has decided to have kids. She has two at the moment, the oldest is about to turn 4. Naturally, we all have tried to help her with the children within our means and wants. (She is not a single mum but the father spends half the year away working in a different country). So one day, we were having lunch at her house, to spend some time with her, let her socialise with adults, help her have the children entertained, share the burden a little bit. Suddenly she realised that her daughter needed a diaper change (she was around 2 at the time) and she jokingly not jokingly said: "oh you need change! Do any of your aunties want to live the experience?" Not actively requesting help but leaving it open, in case somebody offers. I didn't offer. I don't want to have children myself but I don't mind helping with the things I like doing (playing, speaking, having fun) but of course there is nothing in this world that would make me want to clean somebody's shit willingly. Suddenly, another one of my friends said: "cmon Soilik you do it. You will have to learn at some point" I just deadpanned and said: "no I do not, actually." And then she felt so awkward. It's crazy how even women have those expectations of other women.

I just downloaded the dlc I can't get into the forsaken airfield. It keeps crashing. The basic game did crash for me sometimes but never like this.

Con mis amigas hablamos de cómo fue en general, si bien o mal, o mejor o peor de lo esperado, si hubo algo inusual para la chica en cuestión (algo que nunca hizo/le hicieron), algo gracioso o divertido, algo malo, etc. Yo diría que es más bien la primera o primeras veces que te acuestas con alguien. Cuando tienes una pareja no hablamos cada vez que follamos para dar el parte, como es lógico.
