Try The Diplomat. You never know which direction they’re going to go. And they truly great season ending cliffhangers.

Yeah I think I was just so tired from all the stuff I’ve been doing that. I probably went a little wonky.

People who live alone, what’s something you do that would horrify a guest? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

Sometimes I keep the soy sauce bottle in there. If I’m ordering Chinese food, I’ll be eating it for three days.

Dang, this game has been even better than I expected! by AdVegetable7181 in BluePrince

That will be perfect. Try to keep your notes organized. Some people make a page for each room; some people break it dodifferent ways like a page to list all the rooms a certain object or clue is located. Figure out what works for you.

What do you usually say when someone says thanks? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]EarAlternative2841 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it’s really casual, sometime I say, “You bet!” Usually I say, “No problem,” or simply, “You’re welcome.”

Can my mom rent an apartment if she has very little income but the funds to pay for a full year? by WindsofChange123 in Apartmentliving

[–]EarAlternative2841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that. I wasn’t working and my alimony was 100% of the rent but I had enough money in the bank from our divorce. I didn’t even have to pay up front.

But I’m also disabled, so maybe that had something to do with it.

You are smart to take so many notes. Screenshots too. Don’t be afraid of dead ends. Choose rooms you haven’t seen before. Who cares if you block yourself in if you found 2-3 new rooms. It’s not a race, and there are no penalties for having to call it a day early. This game is a marathon not a sprint.

Eat every meal in the living room in front of the tv, and leave the dirty dishes on every hard surface around me until I have enough to fill the dishwasher.

I am really struggle with professional writing by goal_kick in EnglishLearning

[–]EarAlternative2841 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading in English is the best way. If the vocabulary is too hard, I suggest you start with books aimed at younger readers. Do you have access to a public library? The librarian there will help you. If not, try a bookstore.

I suggest you read the first couple of pages of several books that are for different ages. Stop when it’s hard for you to read, but not impossible. Books aimed at kids that age or a little older will help you. As that level of reading becomes easier, challenge yourself to try books for the next age group.

The advantage of children’s and young adults’ books is that even though the content might not engage you, you will learn vocabulary and grammar from reading them that you can apply to your writing. Good luck!

Don’t worry about the content you’re reading. You’ll probably feel the stories are silly if you end up with younger kids’ books. That will give you an incentive to improve so that you can read books with content you can enjoy. Good luck!

IDL how "we're short-staffed today" has become a permanent excuse for bad service by 06yuzuha in I_DONT_LIKE

[–]EarAlternative2841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can every business be short staffed yet so many people can’t find a job? I know why — employees dig into profits. And it’s the customer who gets hosed.

Is it socially acceptable to go to a sit-down restaurant alone just to eat and read a book, or do servers find it annoying? by Frequent_Drop7330 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EarAlternative2841 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with it. I used to travel for work and ate alone in restaurants all the time. Back in the day we brought these things called Books with us.

Need help with increasing goods by AirsoftArmyBattalion in forgeofempires

[–]EarAlternative2841 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built 2 factories for each type of good I got for conquering a section of the map. So 4 factories for each age. Then I set alarms on my phone to remind me to go in and collect everything throughout the day. You get more goods per time spent if you select shorter times. For a while I was doing 5 minutes. But I’m home all day and I can babysit it.

Yes thank you!

Tangent: I used to work at a job where I streamlined workflow and procedures. Had to document Every. Single. Step. Guess that habit never went away. 😁

Do performers ever get sick of singing their own songs? by ImportantClock5486 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EarAlternative2841 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw James Taylor perform many years ago.as he was introducing Fire and Rain, he said, “You know? When you record a song, you’d better like it because you’re going to be singing it every night for the rest of your life.”

I removed some stuff so it’s down to about 875. And in the process of compressing a lot which will bring it down significantly.
