I like exploring old buildings like churches and hotels. I feel like architecture has been optimized so much to fire codes that most modern buildings have pretty boring layouts. But older buildings are completely batshit in their designs sometimes. Like woah there’s a second little staircase down here that goes to a single room not accessible by anywhere else, or just random little hallways to nowhere. Also secret little closets everywhere, it’s way more fun.
Charisma is being able to sell a fruit salad with tomatoes in it.
Just for the sake of information, the two common ways to put this in English are “How it feels” and “What it feels like”. The former phrase is just descriptive, so it doesn’t need the “like” at the end. The latter phrase is comparative to another thing, so it needs the like. Also this is something that native speakers mix up all the time, so don’t worry too much; your English is great!
Three top ranking members of Wagner on the flight, Prigozhins main connection to the oil & gas sector, and Prigozhins body squad all on board, I doubt a mercenary army is organized enough to make an actual push without their leadership. You have to remember, a huge part of the Wagner ground forces were recruited from prisons and told “If you live 6 months on the frontline, you earn your freedom.” I doubt most of the soldiers are actually loyal to Prigozhin, they just saw an opportunity for freedom from Russian prisons.
I loved Shogun by Clavell and I always get recommended Musashi as being a similar vibe. I’ll have to pick it up sometime
I started reading the Wool series after recently watching the Silo TV show. Pretty good so far, the world building is surprisingly fun.
One more hoopy frood who knows where their towel is!
I imagine they thought it might sound better coming from a person of Jewish faith rather than from an 81 year devout catholic.
