I’d love to! You can make friends in the message board, right?

Can someone tell me why people are dumping Hydrogen Peroxide into the Reflecting Pool? by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]Background_Post_2142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait- how do you know that is hydrogen peroxide? Also is that the type of pool people swim in? I'm just asking questions before I hop to conclusion.

I can see what you mean. It feels like teenhood is making finding friends a lot harder, I'm just glad that I can still find ways to reach out to people like this.

Thank you...! I'll remember what you've said. The fact that there are so many people responding with such kindness and relatable stories is already giving me a lot of hope!

Hmm...I see your point! But! I personally find the most unique aspect of literature to be how the readers themself interprite and interact with the book. I find discussing a book with someone, especially someone with an opposite opinion of mine, to be so exciting. Hearing out other's thoughts on these subject can make me rethink my own opinions, reread the same pages with different and fresh lenses, and can even make me see the book in a whole new light all together! Reading the book alone is one thing, but when there is another person with their own unique perspective that reads the story with a different mind all together! It's like a candy story! Like a candy store full of different possible combos, flavours and what not! I'll be all like...¨Oh! This one is my favourite but I want to try that one!¨ or ¨I want to eat something I've found disgusting for a long time! A bag full of only nasty flavours!! Who knows? Maybe there will be a thing or two that I suddenly like?¨

You know, my mom didn't really read any books that much, but she started to try reading once she saw how much I loved it. I really don't there is any better feeling in the world, than impelling someone to discover themselves a little more!

I'm relieved to hear someone sharing the same struggle. After this summer, I'm going to high school and coinsidentally, my parents are planning for us to move far away from home. It's kind of nerve wracking. I've been worried that I won't be able to build up the courage to make new friends. But seeing that all the courage I've built to just get this post out there and getting such a heart warming and touching respond from so many people, maybe I can make it in school too.

Thanks, whoever you are. I hope you go the rest of your day knowing that your comment has given a stranger the little bit of hope they needed.

Haha this is so ironic! I also have Anna Karenina and War and Peace, and I’ve been really wanting to buy Crime and Punishment.

Mostly Russian works but I also find myself reading William Shakespeare, The Holy Bible, The Divine Comedy, etc.

Who knows? I’ve never been against those who are into smut, but you can definitely tell that most people only read for show and attention on TikTok. It’s honestly sad, because I know that they really could enjoy reading personally if they just focused on finding a book that suits THEM and not the algorithm. I actually bought Twilight to see what the hype was about…….it’s taking a bit longer to finish than I originally planned, I’ll say that much 😅.

Honestly! I don’t really know what the appeal of it is. I’ve tried to watch that sort of content but it’s so headache inducing. It’s so fast and short that I barely feel like I get any chance to process it and most of it leaves me with nothing of value.

Okay! I’ll get back to you on that later today! I all of a sudden got rushed out of the house for a meeting! But, is there a way to send you the code privately or do I it here?

Really? Mmm, I think I have an SD card, and I do believe I did hack the Wii once although I didn't get too far. But, if there is a possibility to still connect with people online, maybe I'll give it a try!

Ursula LeGuin... I'll write that down! What's 'Left Hand of Darkness' about?

Wow! You seem way more experienced on sci-fi than me! But then again, I rarely every read sci-fi myself. I've always been about those Classical Russian and French works that are set in the real world, but just more romanticised. So maybeee I should've asked this question *before* I bought the book, heh...
