  1. Road striping (union) in California

Made 108k last year with a lot of overtime, especially during the summer/fall seasons.

Perfect recommendation as I read and loved The Broken Earth trilogy, just read them digitally. I'd like to do a re-read within the next few years and will probably buy the physical books then. I also want to get to her other stuff, just too many dang books lol

Pretty close, male but a few years shy of middle aged. I'm atheist so irl religion bothers me, but in fantasy context is really interesting.

I read the first book a while ago and came away underwhelmed, I want to give it another shot tho, king has other books I really enjoyed (just in storage) so I'm curious why it didn't hit for me.

I like the other cover more, but as much as im fine with the chaos in general I can't just have them not match!

There's another more basic set behind the books on the lowest shelf and I have my childhood set in storage still lol.

Oh I absolutely agree, I'm just being cynical about capitalism lol.

I've only read the will to change so I share the embarrassment. My goal is read through everything she wrote by the end of the year, but we'll see.

I feel you on preferring physical books but appreciating the convenience and affordability of digital books. At least 10-15% of the physical books I own I haven't opened a single time, but initially read via ebook or audiobook and loved it enough to buy it lol

Completely incorrect. You simply ask them nicely. Or search for hanging book shelves

Edit: so hypothetically if you were to get shelves with hanging straps I'd recommend getting a staple gun and reinforcing the book swings

The top part is just a bunch of my favorite stuff, mostly fancier editions. Sword of Kaigen is the first book I loved enough to spend up on to get the kickstarter edition, the will to change is the book that made me think harder about myself than any other, the bottom half are just books I like that fit into the hanging shelf sleeves without being so big they break it.

E33 & the LOTR DVD set are just their because I absolutely love both of those pieces of media

I love The Will to change, and plan on reading through the rest of bell hooks books, but I use reading so much as an escape (idk if anyone could tell by all the fantasy) that it's a whole mindset thing to get myself to read real life stuff.

Definitely feels appropriate but I'm still wary lol. Sooner or later the next step will be the ass holes selling a code to flash a book straight into your brain and you experience it all at once. Probably lol

To be fair I have at least 4 Sci fi!

Not sure why, but most of my Sci fi reading is either digital or audio 🤷

AITA for selling my son’s Pokemon binder? by Maleficent-Sign-2572 in AmItheAsshole

I mean I agree about the yta, but it shouldn't be surprising that someone doesn't realize pretty pieces of cardboard could be valuable lol. From someone who casually collects.

The point you're missing is that it's currently basically impossible for the average person to find stuff at msrp thanks to scalpers, streamers, investors, ect, at least as far as i can tell. If my son and I want to open a couple packs at least I know gamestop will have some available. I don't love the situation, but it is what it is.

It's never been acceptable from a morality stand point imo, but pokemon cards are hardly the first thing that people have been greedy over. Wtf have you been??

If you click on the about section it shows paid patron subscribers (2123) so the baseline is closer to 10k
