@mur2501 Woo, grats with the new toy! Always nice to upgrade!
Just curious which one it is. :)

@freemo

@eqyo In the 90's (yes, previous century) I've lived in the USA for 4 years.

I already knew then that I wouldn't want to live there.

With the current shitstorm going on, I definitely know I don't want to live there.

@skyblond Glad to read you're still alive. 🤗
Try to relax, life's not getting easier but it shouldn't get to you that much either. Just do your best in whatever you want to do.

@Amikke I'm kinda a cheapskate lol. Plus I've never done this remote shopping before. Maybe someday, but for this one time I didn't find it worth the hassle to learn it.

What drives me mad while I'm sick? That I can't grocery shop.

So I sent my parents to do the job. I thought my list was very clear, and yet they make a lot of mistakes still...

Next time if I ever need to send them out again, I probably should create a grocery list in the form of a fucking picture book.

I swear this might be my number one reason to hate being sick.

@faticake Mmm, I don't think I like psychological novels in general. I might skip that suggestion, but thanks!

Kun je net zo goed gaan fietsen.

@faticake I tried to read 'The Thursday Murder Club' in Dutch but found the translation to be terribly stifling, so that got dropped and bumped off my list. And the advantage of being in charge of my own reading list is that I can bump up anything to top anytime I like.

With your recommedation still fairly fresh in mind I decided to go for this one immediately, also because that title was just crazy enough that my curiosity was piqued. ;)

I didn't think it was that quick, though. It still took me almost 2 weeks before I finished it.

I'm now continuing with my suggested alternatives to the Thursday Murder Club, and am reading the second book in this list now.

@Placholdr
right now busy?
round nearby boxes?
rovers nullify beavers?
rocket north bound?
record nasty butts?

(please don't let it be the last one)

@lydiaconwell The other Polish novel I have read when I was a teenager: The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosiński.

That had... oh lessee... incest, bestiality, shitton of violence, rape, even more violence, racism, superstition, ungodly more violence.

It was for our English literature reading list so I've read all that shit when I was like 15 years old. 👀

@Lucseleventje Je kan die dieet ook als een pluspunt marketen. 'Ik zorg ervoor dat mensen met dit soort dieet nog steeds met hun smaakpapillen kunnen genieten!'

@WandelStock@mastodon.art Lol, fantasiefiguren?

@rob Ik vind die club verschrikkelijk. Altijd als ik die troep in mijn brievenbus zie pak ik ze op alsof ze in de stront gelegen hebben en gaan ze linea recta de papierbak in.

En daarna handen wassen natuurlijk.

@Lucseleventje Met deze personeelsschaarste, zou het nog steeds net zo kansloos zijn? ;)
