Speaking from a US cultural standpoint, most people don't do this though. Because of this if someone asks "how are you doing?," there is a script that runs in my brain that just translates it to mean "Hello."
There's nothing more soul crushing than showing emotional vulnerability and then promptly being told you're a burden and have misinterpreted abstract social signals. Always better to just...not ๐คท
Sorry, criticizing the releases costs $14.99
The only reason the Fextralife wiki exists is because they use it to inflate their twitch channel viewercounts and channel metrics for sponsors with the embedded stream on every page(Unless twitch finally fixed this loophole). The entire business model of Fextralife is literally farming ad revenue so this doesn't surprise me in the least.
I didn't downvote you, but you kind of glossed over the unreasonably high price point for a middle of the road Thinkpad that looks like it's worth less than what Lenovo is currently reselling it for. You can literally build a high end gaming rig for less than what you paid for that so I feel like we're missing a lot of context here.
Yes, people genuinely believe that the social credit exists.
It's a fictional character from Battlestar Galactica.
The term has nothing to do with Tiananmen square and it's usage actually predates the massacre by almost 40 years.
What's a tankie?
All of your comments were removed because you're a jerk about what you're saying and not because of the content of what you have to say. This has nothing to do with "sensitivity around discussion of Germany" as you put it and everything to do with how you're choosing to interact with people.
I find the current male clothing I find in stores is very plain and kinda boring
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this!
You'd be surprised how well a lot of women's labeled clothing will fit and you can steer clear of things that are meant to accentuate a bust pretty easily actually. The biggest problem I've found is that a lot of women's tops aren't designed for masculine shoulders and arms and might be uncomfortable or fit weird.
It's difficult to give advice because what will fit and what won't depends on your body. You're also going to learn what every woman knows already - there is literally no standardization. So every different store and brand is going to fit differently. It's going to be a lot of trial and error in the beginning.
If you don't already know, Dawnshard is an interlude novella that takes place between book 3 and 4 in the series. It expands on some world history that was only touched on and mostly adds a lot of context for things for the next books. My partner read the first interlude novella, Edgedancer, without reading any of the other books and didn't have any issues. If you've read the entirety of The Way of Kings you'll probably have enough environmental and worldbuilding context to kind of figure out what's going on at least.
Possibly very minor spoilers
The story centers around a character who was already introduced to you in the interlude chapters of TWoK, Rysn. Rysn lost the use of her legs during an accident and was given a pet Larkin, which is a small dragon/lizard creature that feeds off Stormlight, as a condolence.Some of the overarching political things might go over your head, but really nothing is important enough that you won't understand the book itself. The big gist of it all is that a big war between good and evil just started at the end of the previous book, but none of it is very important to this book except as a backdrop.
Aside from that there are a few characters that have the same powers as Kaladin came into in TWoK. They only have powers because they are his subordinates.
