wah-wah

trying to find a book club in berlin to expand my horizons or whatever, my only criteria is I want to read novels not theory because I am stupid. I’ve found one that reads romantasy and a few others that all seem to exclusively read books about stalin. what’s the best book about stalin

my impression before going in was that in the common law system the lawyers just dick around until the day before the first day of the hearing, at which point they stay up until 4 am filing everything, and for this excellent service they charge their clients a bazillion dollars. from what I’ve been able to observe, this is absolutely correct

overheard a guy refer to a girl as a “chick” like it’s 2003

it’s crazy that australia is just normal to australians I feel like I’m in bizarro england

it’s hard to see the beauty in the place you grew up that said I definitely grew up in the ugliest shithole in the country

ok gotta say australia is great but I don’t think they know how much they live in lalaland. oh no too many skilled workers want to come to our beautiful island paradise and contribute to our economy guys do you hear yourselves lmfao. like in europe we’ve at least got real problems

I want to write a history and review of ripperologist literature to answer the question: why is all of it so wrong and ass? but I don’t know how to do that. I consider not knowing how to write a book to be a deterrent from doing it, as such I will never make a successful ripperologist

one of my biggest struggles in life is that the english bookshops in city where I live are always full of dross and the secondhand bookshops are equally full of dross so I have to buy everything new and often on amazon like I can’t browse at all. been going a bit insane in the secondhand bookshops here, I need to chill out buying books they’ll make my case too heavy !!!!

any time a man flirts with me I think he’s trying to trick me, I have this genuine mental block that stops me from believing he means it. obviously this isn’t making finding a husband any easier

someone who kind of knows me a bit said to me hey a lot could change in 3 years you could be married by then. I don’t think I want a conventional life like marriage homeownership children etc but I also don’t like not want it but for some reason I think it’s out of my reach due to some unspecified thing that’s wrong with me. I really am in a prison of my own making fr because this person at least thinks that marriage is possible for me. bruh anyway how cringe

I bet grrm heard the name Black Watch and imagined something way cooler and that’s where the night’s watch came from. I’d even bet that he heard the song twa recruiting sergeants and that’s where he got the idea for yoren but that one’s more of a long shot

like I’ll accept packages for my neighbours and I put them by my door and they pick them up when they pick them up lol. like I’d get it if it was a big item that blocked the doorway or whatever but it was a perfume bottle so like chill out immediately. very weird reaction from him imo like I was on the point of asking why he was so mad but I just didn’t want to talk to him anymore he was just so unpleasant. gonna ask my mum about this actually, she’s neurotic too

one time my neighbours accepted a package for me and they had it for like 10 days. I tried to pick it up twice in that time but no one answered the door, then one day I had a handwritten note in my mailbox saying “we’ve had you package for 3 weeks please pick it up!!!!” so I went back that day right said sorry I tried to pick it up etc and the guy was like “yeah we were on holiday”. brother then why do you give a shit how long it’s been there. then he asked if I wanted him to continue accepting packages for me as if I had been the one who kicked off? I said I didn’t mind it was up to him but frankly (didn’t say this) I don’t want to deal with this clown again. like it was literally impossible for me to collect it for a week what do you want me to do man. it was a small package like smaller than a book, it was the first time these particular neighbours ever accepted one for me and they weren’t even in town so idk what he was so mad for. he was a young guy too so idk why he was so uptight like I genuinely don’t see how my tiny little package was such a massive inconvenience for him. german obviously
