Reply to How difficult the Witcher series is to read if English isn't my mother language? by [deleted]
Read the translation in your mother tongue, if you are not a Polish native speaker. Why would you read it in English, when that's only another translation of the original?

Reply to comment by GreenJury9586 in TIL that Evelyn Nesbit, dubbed "the world's first supermodel" became known for her involvement in a feud between her husband Harry Thaw and architect Stanford White who drugged and assaulted her age of 16, this led to Thaw murdering White inside Madison Square Garden in 1906. by TopAbies9056
Well, duh! Of course no rape is good.
There is still a huge difference between waking up once from something you can't even remember and being subjected to psychological and physical terror and pain fully conscious for two weeks straight. Which is what her husband did to her.
The guy swho drug women are also not doing it a s favour, they are doing it because they are cowards who don't want a fight.

He was actually way worse, considering the other guy drugged his victim, so she wasn't consciusly aware of what happened and he did it "only" once.

Reply to comment by Important_Pickle75 in TIL in 2018 a Namibian musician set up a permanent solar-powered sound installation at an undisclosed location in the Namib Desert in Africa with six speakers attached to an MP3 player that play's Toto's classic tune 'Africa' on a continuous loop. by big_macaroons
Lions are going to destroy that thing after a night of not being able to sleep due to the same stupid song on loop.

Reply to comment by killer_of_whales in If you ever loved Enders Game, or science fiction in general, check out some of Card's other series. by donjohndijon
I found his view on humans in Ender's Game absolutely odious. Wasn't surprised later to read he had questionable opinions in general.

Pigeons don't actually spread diseases at a higher rate than other birds. It's just a persistent myth apparently.
