Me too, there should be a rule against it.

The numbers might stack up even more in their favour. The .com I wanted, it's $1000 per month or $30k to own. It used to be owned by an old man who used it for his personal page and there are almost no commercial entity named that. So weird.
Manawatia a Matariki everyone!
I think it probably does transfer through. If you look at his overseas press coverage it's so different from the Winston we get here, and he seems well-respected. I've never seen him trolling foriegn press. It tends to look more like this.
It's like he's two different people.
They were just examples. My point is that novellas can be just as good as full length books!
Yeah, back when I lived in the city I used to like visiting here in autumn because it felt like getting extra summer. Now I'm acclimatised it just feels like winter to me though. 🙃
Feeling a bit sorry for the oldest of the plants, they did not sign up to be eaten for so long! Will have to see if I can mix up some fertilizer for them as a consolation.
No, it's not. It involves a lot of meetings with counterparts and diplomats. I shouldn't imagine it's much different than other ministerial positions i.e they all have speechwriters for public events (and civil servants to advise them), and while they are in charge of overseeing policy and action, I hope that no minister unilaterally drives New Zealand's entire policy around their portfolio.
You are very very fast!
I encourage you to read more novellas! Some really great writing is in them. For example One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Metamorphosis, Animal Farm, I Am Legend, War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, Ah Q, Heart of Darkness, A Clockwork Orange, The Third Man, and many many non-famous ones, like ZOMBIE by Joyce Carol Oates.
I find this attitude chilling.
I am by no means a speed reader, but even I think 238 words a minute is painfully slow!
There are too many alarming assumptions in your scenario.
Given their claim I would assume @Treczoks@lemmy.world will have a much faster reading speed.
Their collection quite likely contains shorter genres (novellas, plays, poetry) and might also contain fast reads (trashy fiction, collections they were published in themselves and skim read the rest to be polite, etc).
That makes sense I guess. From the old layout it looked like it had been there at least that long. As far as I can tell from googling, there's only one other entity apart from me that is likely to ever want it, though.
