@ceoln I heard nothing... :P

I also don't know what English words sound like at all.

@ceoln What's that?
I'm too lazy to look that one up. :P

@lydiaconwell Lol, that video is somehow unwatchable. So many zoom-ins, it's recorded terribly. The subs are lacking as well.

From the setting, is it like the little house on the prairie in concept?

@lydiaconwell Well, I read it in Dutch. The title is 'De hulp' written by Freida McFadden. The original title is The Housemaid.

So there's this woman who's released from prison under conditions. She needs to have a place to live and a fairly stable job, or back to prison she goes.

After a few shit jobs she found a job as a in-house maid at some rich people's mansion. Seemed great at first, but things don't really add up there.

There's this gorgeous owner of the mansion who's also ultra-rich. And then there's his not-so-great-looking wife who hired her and was nice at her at first but becomes increasingly impossible to deal with. And they have a daughter who seems to be an utterly spoiled brat.

But things really don't seem to be what they look like after the first part of the book's finished. I'm now in part 3 and it's increasingly potentially satisfying how that story unfolds.

Mm, I think you might like it. It's a nice enough read so far.

@lydiaconwell Haven't encountered an edible book yet. But I do read them. The current one I read is kinda messed up but pretty good so far.

@idropyou If it's such a jungle, maybe you should start with gifting a machete? :D

@johan Oh fucking god, that would still annoy the hell out of me. I'd miss the backspace button SO often! I don't want to compromise on the backspace key just to have a larger enter button!

USPOL, AI (sort of) 

@ceoln But cyborgs are cool!

@johan Yes, see, that's why I hate the L-shaped enter buttons. That \ button could've perfectly been placed below the backspace.

Ghehehe, I always love it how Toph regularly puts an emphasis on her blindness in a cheeky way.

@StroomAfwaarts @osfast Ik moest even op m'n kalender kijken omdat ik dat soort zooi echt niet bijhou, maar dat is dus blijkbaar volgende week.
Oh, hey, vrije dag volgende week voor me dus.
