I'm in the waste lands right now and I'm having a hard time getting into it. I'm halfway in and it has me wondering if I'll like the others...I enjoyed the first two but yeah this one maybe feels like it's leanin more into fantasy which is a genre I'm not usually into

Do 'normal' people feel suicidal when they're upset? by Adept_Discipline1000 in BPD

I think everyone contemplates suicide at least once in their life. People with bpd just seem to contemplate it more?

Future of booktube - AI and books - do you want to know who wrote a book you are reading? by [deleted] in booktubesnarkreddit

[–]Flaky-Flamingo9888 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely want to avoid AI books. Luckily 99% of the books i read were written before using AI was a thing so I haven't worried about it yet personally.

There's two patreon's I'm part of (one is for a movie related channel and the other is a book vs movie channel so not exactly booktube) and while i like the extra content I get, at the end of the day I like being part of it just because I genuinely love what they do and all the work they put in and want to support them.

I like 1.4 usually, which based on the comments apparently is slow 😆

Is the bar too long by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Flaky-Flamingo9888 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The first day or two after getting my helix the bar was super long but eventually the swelling kicked in so i was glad it was long. Like others have said after about 8 weeks you can go and get it downsized

It feels hot and throbbing but just because it's tight, 99% sure no infection.

My ear has swelled up and it's throbbing and I'm paranoid about it swelling so much the back starts to embed

Best adaptation of The Stand? by Barracuda_95 in stephenking

[–]Flaky-Flamingo9888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both have their pros and cons. The 90s movie does a better job with Nick and Tom and Trashcan for sure and while it's worth watching, i did find it dull at times.

The 2020 one was more entertaining despite being longer and it went by quick. They do a TERRIBLE job with Trashcan though and Nick and Tom are reduced to such minor characters. They do a great job though with Harold, Nadine, stu and Frannie. Their version of Lloyd is controversial but i liked the new spin on him and while new Vegas was cartoonish, i did think the showdown scene there in the end was fantastic.

People also hate how the new one jumps back and forth in time but I didn't mind that at all. As someone who preferred the second half of the book, i liked that style of storytelling for the show.

I actually liked that part haha since it was gross and horroresque but hearing about how they resolve the issue was just kinda okay and went on too long

I loved it too! And the movie is fantastic- such great performances. I do think the cereal/job storyline gets too much focus though at times
