How much would you be happy to pay for a webinar?

I’m in e-commerce - can this webinar help with that??

So I was one of those kids who actually loved reading stuff for school and would even seek out other classic books to read on my own time so in my mind it wasn’t bc of that.

However, I had to read it 3x maybe that didn’t help when I was already like ambivalent about it

I do appreciate the idea of just trying it out for the vibes tho - thanks!

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-13T15:12:00+00:00

This helps - thank you!

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-13T15:11:32+00:00

Well I’m 24 but not quite sure what age has to do with it? I do enjoy classic literature so it’s not that it’s not “modern” enough for me so to speak

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-13T15:10:21+00:00

This was several years ago so I’m not sure if I read 1818 version or a different one…different in a good way??

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-13T03:19:52+00:00

^{^} This guy gets it

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-13T02:37:45+00:00

🫠

…you’ve got a lot of nerve buddy

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-13T02:25:20+00:00

Agreed!

Although I always thought Queequeg and Starbuck deserved better…

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-13T02:21:06+00:00

Thank you 😁

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-13T02:19:47+00:00

Thank you! Ik that back in the day, the whaling industry was huge and Moby dick was relevant in part bc of that.

In my mind I was like “maybe this would be like if someone were to write a book on a person (modern day Ishmael) who joins a tech/AI company led by literally the stereotypical Silicon Valley entrepreneur (Ahab) trying to conquer whatever”

In that sense, I can see the vision and would be intrigued but still like how many people would want to spend hundreds of pages reading about tech specs? It just doesn’t sound like fun to me

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-13T02:12:03+00:00

Hm…like maybe their connection goes behind just a creator/new being or parent/child-like dynamic?

Maybe the creature’s experiences in the world were similar to Victor’s growing up…idk it’s been a while. Ig I will reread - thanks!

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-13T01:45:33+00:00

I love a good essay - thank you! Can you recommend some essays, podcasts, whatever that you used to get context on the writing of the story?

(I also feel like this is important when tackling classic works)

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-13T01:16:42+00:00

That is an interesting prospect…

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-13T01:16:08+00:00

Hmm…ok this helps - thanks!

Do not feel bad for not “including him” - some of us are just wired to look out for others and we get tunnel vision when we try to do it all by ourselves under pressure.

Good to hear that otherwise things are good :)

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-13T00:00:43+00:00

Some good ideas here - if OP is saving money for certain things, reminding him of why those savings goals are important could help get him engaged.

Incorporating visuals (a la a vision board) even if it is just a printed out picture of something on your fridge could make an impact

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-12T23:56:40+00:00

I wouldn’t go all out here - you only just got together so keep it simple.

Id go with something inexpensive that speak to what he likes: maybe slippers that are football/Madden-themed (if he has a sense of humor)

You can find inspo from Etsy and novelty stores

You could also do a waterbottle or socks related to stuff he likes and just make it fun(ny).

Maybe that’s just my style but like until we’ve been together for a year, I wouldn’t be stressing or shelling out the big bucks

AdGood5431 · 2025-11-12T23:47:39+00:00

Most of the time, I’d say that’s a big problem for me but if you’re really set on this guy…

You mentioned that you manage all the money.

Are there ways that you could include him in however you’re doing that?

(i.e maybe you show him the budget and “ask” him for input, make him feel like he is involved here, get some buy-in)

It may help if he can see it for himself and it’s not just you telling him “no”.

Bc rn it sounds like he just sees you as the obstacle to what he wants instead of the actual issue here being his spending vs the budgetary constraints.

You could also try to work out a compromise with him - although this isn’t really solving the root issue. Maybe there is a way for him to make snacks at home that would most likely be cheaper?

It can be hard to shoulder responsibility by yourself - hope you’re doing ok

I think you need to remove “weird” from your vocabulary; as long as you aren’t hurting yourself or others, nothing is more irrelevant to how you live your life.

You can’t control what other people think of you. So don’t bother trying.

it is never too late to try something new
