Had they just used some punctuation - “The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders on Thursday, announced”, it would have made it easier to get. Even, “The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders, on Thursday, announced” would be doable.

How do these feel?

And gives some energy (and building material) in the process? Yeah, it’s just kinda hard.

I used to say, “I don’t like novels.” until I read Foundation

You just gave 2 links to places on the internet where people have mentioned it.

So I just invented a game.
I kinda like it a bit.
Of course, I’m not going to tell you its name or its rules, or I will have mentioned it on the internet, which will make it a paradox.

The one paying for it, of course.

• “Foundation” by Isaac Asimov is one of the only 3 novels I have read, that are were not part of my school course.
• Another one was some romance novel that I got as a prize for some competition I can’t remember and I managed to force myself to read it until the end. Needless to say, I didn’t like it. The setting was probably Victorian Era.
• The third is an English translation of the Light Novel “Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei”, which I am not sure when I intend on completing.

I am a very sloow reader. Foundation was a pretty thin book and I took months. I tend to read a little, imagine it, dream on it and have fun that way and this one turned out to work really well for that. I thought of checking out the Prelude and other parts in the series, but never went ahead with it.

I have seen myself getting intrigued by the thought the writer (may/may not have) put into the worldbuilding aspect and find myself exploring the same in my mind.

My habits: I read what I feel like, when I feel like it. I remember having borrowed picture encyclopedias from school libraries as a child and just leisurely reading them. Those things were pretty fun too.

Except for that most of it was not.
A lot of the noise on the screen (and speaker) was affected by radiation from nearby stuff.

I’d think that nowadays, it would be even more so, with way more WiFi and mobile phone signals everywhere. Now sure, different frequencies mean they would affect less, but the cumulative effect would still be more than the CMBR.

Also, I have a flat-screen CRT at home.
