good evening/morning !bookworms! i am making the executive decision to change the bookclub book we are reading to Atomised aka The Elementary Particles because: a) u complained, b) i think it is more topical (drama surrounds this book, incel themes, etc etc i'm very tired), c) it is shorter and we will probably have more meaningful discussion about it, d) more of u will read it bc it isn't as intense, and e) i'm in a houellebecq mood and i feel like it. you're welcome or sorry.

chapter breakdown

Part 1: read ch 1-15 in week 1 and 2.

Part 2: read ch 1-22 in week 3 and 4, we can push this back if we need to, discuss in discussion posts to come.

Part 3: read ch 1-7 in week 4 or 5 (re pushing back)

i rly think this book will be a better fit and i'm more excited to read it and hear what everyone thinks about it. goodnight all, take a day or so to like download off libgen or buy it or whatever, i am usually a kindle-paperwhitecel bc books are expensive but i would rather read paperback for this so if u all need time before we start week 1 then that's ok. love u mean it gn

To me the actually fun part was that some of my black guy friends liked this post

Aboriginal kid named Keegan won $1 million in prize money after winning a fishing competition

Gets interviewed by Sky News, the right-wing rag of Australia, and the host Pete Stefanovic asks the important questions:

>“There is a claim online that you stole a Polaris Ranger and Polaris quad that you and your friends stole and damaged from a business a few years back. First of all, is that true?” Stefanovic asked.

>A shocked Payne, who was sitting in the Darwin Sky News studio, quietly said “yes”.

>Pushed to explain himself, Payne said he and his mates “weren't thinking at the time”, were “still young” and that he regretted it “big time”.

They started a petition to get him to apologise

He bows to public pressure

I think you're delusional if you think Nickole Atkinson overstepped any boundary. If she hadn't been persistent, if she hadn't kept hounded CW or didn't call the police it would have been a completely different outcome. Neighbor Nate on the other hand was aiming for his 15 minutes of fame. (13)

I am just wondering how NA had Chris Watts' phone number. Who has their friends' husband's number unless they're having an affair? Unless Marlboro Grandma gave the number to NA to pressure him to get home. (-7)

I know right?!? I don't know much about her, but she was the bestest friend in that situation you could have. She was like a darn bloodhound mixed with a Rottweiler! If my partner killed me, went off to work… I don't think anyone would notice for a spell. Especially if he gave some excuse like I wanted some time away as they were have some issues or something. People would just think I was busy or something.Her? She just mobbed up and wouldn't let ANYONE tell her ANYTHING. She was going to figure out what the issue was and where her friend would be. Most of us would defer to a friends husband at first because obviously they know better than us about events. Not her! She was calling up everyone, talking with receptions staff at the doctors, even getting into her phone! Chris didn't even have a full morning to enjoy his new life, free of his family obligations. He didn't even get to go to the Lazy Dog for a date with the mistress. Certainly no romantic trip or anything like that! That... (26)

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this. It absolutely none of nas business (or Cassies for that matter) where sw and the girls were, none. Cw should have told her that and to get off his property when they were blowing up his phone. (-2)

Nickole "Scoob" Atkinson exhibited behavior akin to a stalker when she couldn't find her "friend" SW. I thought she was absolutely rude, acting like the house was her own. Normal people would have called the other owner (Chris) and expressed concern, but Nickole had such weird entitlement-- like the world is coming to an end because SW and daughters are missing and she must gain access! Honestly, SW absolutely used Nickole. SW solely benefited from that relationship. Nickole ran errands and mowed their darn lawn, while SW sat back on her lazy butt (blaming her 'health challenges' of course!) SW didn't deserve a friend like NA, and sadly, NA couldn't see that her "friendship" was strictly one-sided. (3)

I mean she's probably used to talking to SW all day and knew she wasn't feeling well and had a doctor's appointment that morning and wanted to see how it went. And CW had a different story about where SW was to everyone. It was also very out of the ordinary for SW and the girls to just be gone. (1)

Na wasn't her friend, she was more of a caregiver. She was probably more afraid of losing her job. (1)

How are you even thinking like this? I'm serious. I am dead serious.Even if what you're saying was true….How can you logically not piece together that a caregiver going the extra mile (even if motivated in part by fear of losing her job) is STILL not even CLOSE to pissing n' moaning about someone's “right” to get involved? That you judging her for that (which isn't proven true), and yet, not judging CW for WHY he wouldn't want people on his property is truly delusional thinking? One is way worse than the others. In your thinking a woman was motivated by fear of losing his job, is worse than CW‘a motivation for not wanting people on his property (not wanting to go to jail because killed his pregnant wife and two small children) Why is this even an issue for you? How would you know anything? You're way of thinking is deeply flawed and lacks depth. You completely ignore the truth, which is those with a moral compass are going to do whatever they can to help someone they suspect is in g... (1)

The defunct WOT called Nickole Atkinson the Quasimodo for the Thrive huns. That was not a jab at her physical appearance. It was how she was treated with doing their dirty work, especially for Shanann, such as picking up the gift the Watts mailed for Cece and taking it back to the post office to return it, and being unaware that she was overstepping society's objective boundaries or willing to cross them to appease the mean girls she was trying to impress.Nickole was following instructions from other huns because she was the local one in Denver who could do what they said, like driving over to SW's house to look for her. I think all of the huns were worried that SW had harmed herself because she'd been a basket case all weekend - refusing to eat, getting low blood sugar from not eating, getting a headache from low blood sugar, etc. SW was stressed to be sure but based on her flair for drama and medical attention, I suspect she was exaggerating for attention. Likewise, the huns ... (29)

Cassie dogged NA until she finally went to Saratoga trail. Nate lied to cops saying he has heard sw and cw viciously arguing (5)
