  I actually heard that this was most desirable in the stone age as the plumper women could survive winters and childrearing. So it is a bit like stone age photoshop, just not in the direction we usually expect.

  He is! He goes under Joe Hill so people don’t know, but I think he’s great. The Heart Shaped Box was my first book with him and I found it a lot of fun! NOS4A2 is my overall favorite, but it’s a long one, so I always recommend the shorter one first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elite College Students Who Can’t Read Books⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s so wild. Some of these kids want to go on to be doctors, lawyers, etc., but they won’t be able to read the needed text. That’s so unfair to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elite College Students Who Can’t Read Books⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like the schools (not the colleges) that aren’t preparing these kids. They mentioned some students saying they haven’t had to read a full book prior to college. That’s not good. Not everything can be learned through short-form media. And it’s such a disserve to the kids. Reading can be such a joy.

  That was my first Cutter book and I did not expect to like it as much as I did.

  Fuck Shelley, justice for Newton. 😭

  The Only Good Indians is a fun read.

  I’m gonna have to read The Terror because the show was 🤌🏾

  Better or worse than The Troop?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I was terrified, but I was also having a mental breakdown. I called my mom sobbing and she was actually the one who told me to quit. I was lucky that she was around because I leaned on her for about two months.

  If you can, look for a job, even if it’s gig work, before quitting. I know it sucks, but finding a job will be your new activity. In the mean time, switch to the bare minimum. Take longer breaks, use sick time, etc. Don’t burn any bridges. Spend time making a really nice resume/cover letter. Maybe even see if you can use some work resources before you tell them you’re out.

  If you can’t stand it a second longer, I would sit down and see what you have and how long you can last. Finding a job without a residence (in the US anyway) is difficult, so I would not do anything that would leave you homeless. Let people around you know if you have such people. Tell your friends, parents, etc., so they know that you may be needing support. Do not tell anyone from work until you’re ready to go. Make a budget. Make one for if you have literally no money coming in so you can see the worse case scenario and have that be your starting point. You may even want to look around for food banks and so forth, especially churches during this time of year. It may not be everyday, but they do dinners more often in the winter. Write them down or save them somewhere that odes not require internet/service.

  Good luck. I wish you you happiness.

  The fact that they’re micro apartments is telling.

  She was a dancer. How she manged that at that weight is insane. I hope she’s doing well and is able to recover in some capacity.

  Oops, showing my ignorance.

  Usually it would just bring me into the game as normal unless I left it running so 🤷🏿‍♀️

  Kunitsu-Gami! I played the demo for 7 hours and then bought it officially. I enjoyed it way more than I expected.

  Went over my head. My bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pros:

  • Cheap
  • May still have regular capabilities
  • not a big deal if it breaks
  • They usually don’t require “service,” just Bluetooth and being connected to a phone.

  Cons

  • Usually they require an app, that could just be Spyware
  • it will not last long
  • the capabilities it will have will be a poor imitation of the original.
  • Could be irritating (to the skin). It may not fit right.
  • Poor battery life
  • Additional E-waste when you do get rid of it once it dies.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Multiplayer shooters should get "pure" healers that can't shoot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The only reason I start shooting is if my team isn’t doing their job. You want me to go out there and heal with no protection from the enemy? They already focus on the healers as it is, and we get left behind often. I honestly would never play healer again. All the stuff you’re explaining already happens. My goal already is to avoid damage, my team is already supposed to protect me (and when they don’t/can’t, I have a weapon for that).

  also, not only “girlfriends” dislike shooting, there are plenty of guys who are main healers

  Gotta keep that dream alive. Besides, why would I want to tax the rich when I’m this close to being rich myself! /s

  Just about to comment this. Singers these days are usually the “face.”

  I went into this comment section expecting to be disappointed. Color me impressed.

  This could have been a joke about him putting it back in. Like, “Hey, don’t toss that yet” or something. Not sure why rape would be a funny punchline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry, I’m not a well adjusted adult, so I need to ask people on the internet (also, someone beat me to it, so they answered that question in real time 😂)
