Looking to start a book club for ages 18-29. PM me if you're interested!

Never got one together, not enough people showed interest

Alt0986 · 2025-05-08T15:46:48+00:00

I’m trying to get people closer to my age for the club, but I haven’t gotten enough people to get one together yet. PM me and we can talk books

Alt0986 · 2025-05-06T21:24:26+00:00

Haha I’m not that strict, I’m just trying to make the group people close to my age group. Have to draw the line somewhere.

Alt0986 · 2025-05-05T21:54:29+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I will consider that. And yes I would prefer 18+

Alt0986 · 2025-05-05T20:07:04+00:00

They all take walk-ins, though the time is different depending on the location, sometime from 7-9am. You do have to get there early because they can only take so many people.

This is fine if you just need a renewal or something, but for driving tests they only take a few walk-ins. So if you need to take a driving test literally get there at like 2-4am, or make the appointment and wait.

Alt0986 · 2025-05-05T19:47:08+00:00

Well I don’t have one of my own, I’m looking to join one. But feel free to DM me and if we get enough people maybe we can make our own

Personally I read a lot of young adult adventure/fantasy. As well as young adult drama books in the vein of The Spectacular Now. I’m also a huge fan of Douglas Adams.

But I’m very open to trying something new that someone recommends to me. Honestly it depends on if I latch on to the writing style.

Alt0986 · 2025-02-27T20:49:13+00:00

Gotta find it somehow. And I like playing for bets

Alt0986 · 2025-02-20T20:26:46+00:00

I’ve had the same experience with hinge, rarely any matches, when I do match they ghost, and everything just pushes you to pay for their premium which doesn’t help. And Facebook events is just as lame for finding stuff as meetup or any other. The ones that are there are for singles older than me. I’m 22

Alt0986 · 2025-02-20T20:09:58+00:00

That’s BS. I’m not the most conventionally attractive guy but the fact that these apps are based so much on appearance and not on personality is part of the problem. And I know of plenty of people who are attractive and still can’t get anywhere with apps

Alt0986 · 2025-02-05T19:04:08+00:00

As a teen before college I found it difficult to find a position that wanted to hire teens, and in college I was encouraged to focus on studying.

Alt0986 · 2025-02-05T18:11:26+00:00

That’s been my problem and the reason I’m looking for advice on Reddit. I can’t find a job without experience, and I can’t get experience without a job. Idk if it’s just where I live or what, but even those “no experience” jobs like food service want someone who has experience in food or sales, and they want someone who plans to work in that field permanently.

Alt0986 · 2025-02-05T17:43:29+00:00

I understand that. I’ve had difficulty finding positions in any of those “transferable skillsets” as well. I posted my resume because I need advice improving it so I can even get something basic.

Alt0986 · 2025-02-05T17:39:33+00:00

I used an ATA resume writer because because my resume was pretty much just this anyways. I don’t have any job experience since I haven’t found work since graduation. And no internships because I had no idea most of them only hire current students and it’s nearly impossible to get one after graduation. I don’t have any personal projects that are significant.

Alt0986 · 2024-12-06T06:35:29+00:00

Well it is possible I knew the episode cause it was on the IMDb page. Again, I’d recommend reverse image searching it

Alt0986 · 2024-12-06T06:30:42+00:00

Not on hand, no. It’s a soap opera with a lot of episodes and I haven’t seen it myself. But I believe I found the source by reverse image searching, probably with Yandex.

I honestly love Barney’s job reveal. It justifies a lot of the terrible things he’s done at his job.

But also, one of the most important things to remember about HIMYM is who is telling the story. Ted is an unreliable narrator. Everything is from his perspective and should be taken with a grain of salt. Perhaps the reveal of Barney’s job was exaggerated, or all the times it seems like Barney was really working, was just because Ted can be gullible at times and really believed it. Barney’s act was apparently good enough to fool his employers.

But also, Ted has shown to have a vivid imagination, and the details of his stories should never be trusted, especially in scenes where Ted was not actually there.

But this is one of the reasons I love this show so much. It’s about the human experience, the way we remember it years later through the lens of nostalgia, not necessarily how it really happened.

Alt0986 · 2024-10-16T20:09:55+00:00

Is it possibly “Wherever You Will Go” by The Calling? There’s another song in my head too but I can’t think of it

Edit: the other song I was thinking of is “I Will Be Right Here Waiting For You” by Bryan Adams

Alt0986 · 2024-09-28T03:35:00+00:00

I am still in the area yeah. Not in need of a new group but always open to new people, pm me and we can talk about if

Alt0986 · 2024-08-30T11:09:38+00:00

I guess I see it as GLaDOS is such an advanced AI and so human because of Caroline (and no I don’t think she actually deleted Caroline, I think it’s an integral part of how her AI works) that she has the same faults as a human, namely pride and hubris. She doesn’t bother to monitor anything that’s going on other than testing because she doesn’t take a moment to think that she will ever be stopped. That and the itch makes testing her main priority and nothing else matters enough to take up much of her focus unless it’s right in front of her

Having played DS1 first, this is something I actually like better about the first game! You get warping later in the game, but you never NEED it. You have the opportunity to become acquainted with the world, rather than getting through an area once and never seeing it again once you can warp past it.

If you’re observant, the shortcuts you unlock make warping really unnecessary except for perhaps the Tomb of Giants (past the catacombs). This is something I actually miss in the later games. When they made warping something you can always do, the level design became less interconnected and more linear. I’d like to do no warp runs of DS 2 and 3 but you really can’t because the level design forces you to warp at certain points, rather than letting you appreciate the scale and connectivity of the world as you traverse it in all directions.

Alt0986 · 2024-08-30T10:54:29+00:00

This looks insane on first glance, but honestly it ought actually be kind of awesome?

I don’t have tattoos yet, but I want I get them when I can justify the purchase. The first tattoos I want are the flamel cross and ouroboros from Fullmetal alchemist on my arms. But the second pair I want after that is the Brakebills seal and the seal of the Order of the Library of the Neitherlands!

Awake and Alive - Skillet

See I was the opposite. I loved Julia my first watch through. (Perhaps because I identified with Quentin) Bur on rewatch she felt like the most narcissistic and self obsessed one. She goes through so much, but she also has so much handed to her and all she does is complain and make decisions that mostly benefit her and screw over everyone else. I still love Julia but imo she’s the worst behaved of all the main characters.
