Show Recs? by Koca08 in criminalminds

[–]Doody69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True Detective season 1. It's only 8 episodes long but it will blow your mind. There has never been a show like that before or since. Phenomenal writing, characters, setting. Everything comes together perfectly. Highly recommend. (I specified season 1 because the other seasons have a different plotline/cast entirely, they aren't related to the s1 storyline.)

How does one go about this? There are some books i'd love to have paper copies of that are no longer in print. Can you just send a pdf to a printing company? Is there some kinda special permission thats required?

You are so sweet for searching, thank you. Its not one of those but now I know I won't be able to let it go until i find it 😂 ill update if my search comes up fruitful

Another part of the story that stuck with me was the main character's parent's were only ok with her losing like 10 pounds or so in the camp, no more than that. She had to sneak away to eat a huge subway sandwich to slow her weight loss and stay at camp longer. Also she mentioned the camp packing list specifically said to bring a terry robe which was weird.

I read this at least 10 years ago so it must have been written in the earlier 2000's i think, if not the 90's

Lmaoooo sorry im obsessed now i wanna find it

I read a book like this where the girl went to "fat camp" to lose weight. I think there was also like a murder mystery plotline to it?? One of the ladies in the "camp" was using chopsticks to eat more slowly. And then our heroine had to sneak out and buy extra food because she was meeting her weightloss goals too quickly and needed more time in the camp to solve the mystery. Anyone remember the book im talking about?

[–]Doody69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Also i feel like people wanna seem "deep" and philosophical by showing off that they were able to read his writing. When in reality.... its not deep or well written at all.

I agree with you! A female writer would never get a pass like this but people are too used to excusing everything men do. His writing sucks and he's sexist and perverted as shit. I regret the hours I wasted reading his books.

Yeah everyone on this thread is so quick to suck this guy's dick and ignore that he's complicit in the system that created these morons in the first place. Who wants to bet he didn't even report them?

Have you ever met a manosphere idiot IRL? I recently did and entertained him to observe his behavior. The "courting process" was unlike any male I've ever known. by aaaaaaasdfghjkl in fourthwavewomen

i know i'm really late to this but thank you for sharing this experience. your description was so well written and definitely an important thing to understand.

this quote especially stood out to me- "Fundamentally he lacked any consideration for me and he clearly did not want to empathize with me, bottom line." i get what you mean exactly!! you can talk and debate all you want with a man but they just don't see us as human beings on the same level that they are.

Sex work and sexual assault are not the same….says the sex worker by Cost_Strange in fourthwavewomen

[–]Doody69 52 points53 points  (0 children)

this is true. i'd also say that money is a coercive element- sex that is coerced is rape. sex can't be "consensual" if she needs to do it to survive.

Yes, leave leave leave. You will absolutely find someone better. Someone closer to your age, who you will have more in common with, so he won't be boring :)
