My favourite characters from the series are bit off I guess. I loved Eshonai. Everything about her character was just interesting. Especially her pulling out of storm form and her morality. I love the way he writes Kaladin's chapters and he's an amazing character I'd love to look up too, but I identify the most with Navani/Jasnah heh. That being said, Jasnah being strong af to the outside world yet having her own issues/insecurities that he keeps alluding too or suggesting through out makes me curious to see how he really takes her forward.

I don't blame you prioritizing Kingkiller; it's beautifully written.  Say, have you encountered the Gentlemen Bastards series?

 

I'm glad to have gotten Lordship into the Kingkiller chronicles. Also the Gentleman Bastards series was great, though the third book was a bit meh. The Lies of Locke Lamora was crazy great though. 

Also yeah, while I'm interested in the Cosmere, I cannot be able to handle the awfulness of Sanderson and writing female characters from the origin trilogy. Thats the biggest reason I'm skeptical of the new series lol.

Honor is dead, but I’ll see what I can do.

Thats such an important easter egg tbh. One of the greatest lines revealing whats to come. I just wish though there was more about Kaladin and Laral tbh. I really loved that story  

Amaram gaining his shards was very interesting!

Does that mean you are also German or do you just live there? And if the latter then how come? I'm always curious to know why foreigners decide to come here x)

I mean I don't listen to much music in general. But when I do it's usually English, Japanese, or sometimes French.

This is a """""sport""""" but since this year edition just finished I will talk about it because there's actual competition

 

 

The Battaglia delle arance (battle of oranges) of Ivrea

Yes, another thing of my region, I am an undercover tour operator? Maybe

 

It takes place during the carnival and has origins in the Middle Ages, there are teams representing the various districts of the city, some parade in the streets on horse-drawn carts while others await the carts in the areas assigned to them

And then? Then they hit the enemies with oranges!

Don't worry, since Italy haa a huge production of oranges there are many oranges not considered suitable for production that would therefore be destroyed anyway, yep, they throw mostly rotten oranges

Where's the competition? Well, every year there's a team who wins on the carts and one team who wins on the ground, and are the participants who vote for the winners, who has hurt you most? They are the winners!

And if you just want to watch and you don't want to get hurt there's a simple way to avoid the oranges, they don't target people with a red hat

Been there, the team I joined kind of won this year  It was epic. Especially Fat Thursday, now thats a great fucking party hosted by all the teams once the General is announced. Followed by the Mugnaia being announced! Man I have the video of that somewhere, I'll post it at some point. I did a blog post on the NPO forums about I think!. Definitely turning up for the battle next year again! For the Diavoli of course

Yeah was super popular, did the eurovision song contest, won Sanremo, etc.

 

Do you liked Turin?

Turin was great I loved it. Also went to Ivrea/Aosta and turned up for the Battle of the Oranges with a friend from the town haha. It was beautiful  

Hey I know a single italian song that was constantly placed when I was in Turin in Feb.

Well I ended up watching the San Remo festival as well

Violet Evergarden 5.5/10, awesome KyoAni quality animation and chara design wasted on a bad story with forced drama

Gotta agree with that tbh. Expected so much more  

spiders

Nothing like some Nigel Farage  

Eww Knackwurst. Nothing from Hamburg, esp HSV is good. 

In Germany, where I currently live, my Hausmeister subscribes to Weser Kurier ( the local city paper ) and the Kurier am Sonntag ( the Sunday hyperlocal special for each of the city boroughs ). I read it quite a bit to improve my german and in general read the sports news seeing how the team I support is Werder, so its useful. In India, my parents subscribed to The Hindu, The Times of India and the Deccan Chronicle, the three most common English dailies heh. So we spend quite a bit a year getting news. 

I have access to the Indian papers in both digital and print form but always preferred print. While most of my news comes from online sources, theres nothing like a coffee with the papers every morning at the dining table heh. 

I have online subscriptions for NYT/Washington Post/ Politico Pro and have access to the Economist/Atlantic/New Yorker subscriptions through friends (even if they are magazines heh). Also have a couple of sports magazines that I subscribe too here in Germany, but mostly to learn German lol.

Depends. If it were regarding economics, I would have no issue. Social policies on the other hand, I think would be an absolute breaker.

I mean how much wiggle room could you give fiscally> She and I ended up fighting over EU's fiscal policy with Greece because its also social policy at some level
