Why hate Andy Weir?

What has the Romans ever done for us!

Well, they did invented the term “negative growth”

The Chinese version has the opening chapter in a later spot (Chapter 3 or 5, I believe).

Also, the Chinese government has admit that the Cultural Revolution was a mistake for decades (many of its modern leaders had experienced it first hand), thus, as long as it the book doesnt criticize any of its modern leadership, its fine.

See, these are the people where websites generate their revenue.

They are young and new, they mostly write fantasy and scifi, I have never read their works but have heard of their name in recommendations and booklists.

To be honest, I am genuinely surprised Japan has a death penalty.

In Japan a lot of idols aren’t allowed to be seen as being in relationships

Not just Japan, is all Asia. One member of a female korean group said something to the effect of the fans want them sexy and unavaliable.

Rogue is really nice so far, I am currently on story 9 and each of the previous ones are a hit. Particularly “What Do You Do?” by Gillian Flynn, “The Inn of the Seven Blessings” by Matt Hughes, and “A Year and a Day in Old Theradane” by Scott Lynch. Recommend.

I should have finished Stephen King’s “The Dark Half” last month. Haven’t been reading as much.

You get the first hundred a month for free

Thats more rational, I thought it was just the first hundred searches were free.

Rock solid then, nothing to worry about.

Again, you are thinking politics. There is no reason for you to be in re-education camps if you dont express any outward outrage against government (ie: politics).

I been slacking off lately:

• The Dark Half - Stephen King, 3/4 done.
• Rogue - George RR Martin ed, 1/4 done.
• The Beekeeper’s Apprentice - Laurie R. King, just started.
• Some of the Best from Tor: 15th anniversary - various, 1/5(?) done

I live in a third world country, if I can get 3K USD per month I believe I’ll pretty good.

How bout a place where there are no elections and you dont need to care about politics, China.

If I recalled correctly, Yandex is googles equivalence in Russia, so I am quite confused of not calling it mainstream. By that standard, Baidu (ad-filled, trash, Chinese equivalence of Google) is also not mainstream.

I only heard of Kagi in lemmy, very intrigued, however as I lived in third-world country, the price plan is unfeasible for me to consider.

Afghanistan has been unstable for decades yes, but I do believe the current situation is not the best even compare to those turmoil times.

No idea, the only words that are correctly translated are “请勿” > “Please do not”

You are completly correct. I have seem those type of windows but I never actually heard the term 限位 applied to them before.
