  1. Shame the guy for being a bad trainer (in more eloquent words)? Or maybe that can be part of option 2.

Quick links in Google Docs? (kbin.social)
 

Hi all,

I'm trying to add quick links in a Google Doc to another Google Doc on the same account. Notion does this easily by typing @DocNameHere, and it magically works. Is there a function like this? I'm getting tired of going to the Doc I want to link, hitting Share, copying the link, back to the Doc I was working in, paste. There has to be an easier way.

Thanks!

Sci-fi you couldn’t get into? in c/[email protected]

I tried Dune a few times, I just can't do it. Not the books, not the miniseries, not the new movie. In theory it sounds great, but... It's not gripping me at all for some reason.

@kindenough I'm currently using the Duckduckgo browser for 95% of my online stuff. Sadly it doesn't work with a lot of payment sites, so it's back to Chrome for that (I know Firefox has more privacy, I just never really got into it).

I also found Startpage recently, but they went the way of Qwant as well https://restoreprivacy.com/startpage-system1-privacy-one-group

Have a good weekend too!

I mean, yes I love Nolan's practical effects, but... Was this this random pollution really necessary?

The Handmaid's Tale - meh? in c/[email protected]

It must be terrifying living there (in the US) right now, which probably makes it scarier if you're that close to it as well.

The Handmaid's Tale - meh? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You make a good point, abuse of women is normalised. I think in this particular case (book vs show), the show was a lot more visceral, whereas in my opinion it was kinda of 'glossed over' in the book. It might be part of the writing style - I usually read books in first person, so it's like you are the character. This story was written so detached, I didn't feel much for anyone.

The Handmaid's Tale - meh? (kbin.social)
 

I read the Handmaid's Tale yesterday, finally. I'm disappointed. I did not like the writing style at all, there was no real story, just descriptions. And then it just ended. No conclusion or anything.

My best guess it's because the TV show was so intense and well made (at least the earlier seasons), and the book was... Not? Episodes would stay with me for days, but I'm struggling to recall the book already.

Maybe the book is supposed to be unsatisfying to go with the theme. Nothing much happened after Gilead was created, every day just kinda goes by. Sure there was some torture and death, but... Eh.

Maybe I was expecting too much after all the praise it got. It's my first Atwood book, and way way outside of my usual genre (fantasy, scifi, horror).

What did you all think of it?
