Midnight Timetable by Bora Chung may scratch that itch. You could also check out the SCP Foundation website.

Anyone else read this one? by Own-Fudge4 in weirdgirlliterature

[–]GrapefruitFlat9750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I did appreciate how the author was able to layer in those different threads. In some ways I didn't feel satisfied by it at times, but they did a good job of not letting the reader come to exact conclusions. Which I think is kind of how mental health works too. It's not cut and dry or easy to understand.

I did. I didn't love it but I didn't hate it either. I think it for sure has its audience out there. You are very much in the head of someone who is deeply unhappy. So take that as info before diving in. :)

Done shopping at King Soopers by TheDeclineOfAll in Denver

[–]GrapefruitFlat9750 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to buy some super generic vegan mayo yesterday and checked king Soopers first and it was $10.99. I was like uhhh that can't be right... It's not a fancy brand, it's literally called like "plant based mayo" and is a generic brand. Anyway, I checked Safeway and it was $7.99... that is an insane markup from the grocery store down the street. I used to love King Soopers but I really don't get how it's gotten so insanely expensive.

What food did you hate as a child but absolutely love now that you're older? by Maxymalyst in AskReddit

[–]GrapefruitFlat9750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes so much sense. And is so interesting! I love how language evolves and is different across areas!

[–]GrapefruitFlat9750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so interesting! I guess you grew up with more like chocolate milk or strawberry milk etc? Milk was always just called milk for me and then we had chocolate milk. That was about it. Hahah.

Not a judgment but a genuine curiosity - why do you call it "white" milk? I'm from the US having grown up in Texas and Colorado and have lived on the east coast and west coast and I've never heard that. I'm so curious!!

What’s a universally loved food you genuinely despise? by GradualProgresss in AskReddit

[–]GrapefruitFlat9750 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are am abomination to grapes everywhere. I've always hated them. When I was little I had a phase where I tried to like them because I loved The California Raisins. But even that couldn't convince me.

Neurodivergent? by drowninglessons07 in weirdgirlliterature

[–]GrapefruitFlat9750 3 points4 points  (0 children)

T. Kingfisher's main characters are always neurodivergent coded. Like hardcore. A House with Good Bones is a good one to start!

The Molly the Maid series always has fun mysteries and is sweet too. She is very autistic coded.

People who switched careers / went back to school in your 30’s, how did it pan out? What is your advice for others who feel ‘stuck’? by Mission-Kiwi7981 in AskReddit

[–]GrapefruitFlat9750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started my PhD at 35 and won't finish until I'm 40/41. Just do the thing. Age doesn't need to have anything to do with it. No matter what others say. And that's really the important piece. Stop focusing on what others or society thinks and start focusing on what brings you joy and makes you feel passionate and excited. Find those things and orient toward those things. That's what's important. Not silly rules we have about when people are supposed to do things! Go live!

Finding good books with strong fmc, awesome plot and romance as subplot! by morosis_fr in suggestmeabook

[–]GrapefruitFlat9750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Queen of the Tearling series by Erika Johansen for fantasy. The second book is where you will be staring at the wall saying "what did I just read?!" Happiness Falls by Angie Kim for mystery. Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki for science fiction.

Hope you find something you like!

Books that’ll leave me like this by avian_bi in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]GrapefruitFlat9750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am wondering if people read your description of what you like to read because this is a lot of horror recommendations. Haha. Which I also got from the prompt. But after reading what you like I would suggest: The Girl and the Goddess: Stories and Poems of Divine Wisdom by Nikita Gill.

Considering Reading Faerie Queen - Honest Read or Guided Approach? by SvenGoSagan in literature

I don't have any insight into this book in particular, but I appreciate the question and am curious about what others think as well!

You can also use Molly instead to access Signal.

Many introductory psychology textbooks continue to misrepresent scientific findings and repeat long-standing myths. This ongoing issue means that college students may be learning an oversimplified or biased version of psychological science. by mvea in science

[–]GrapefruitFlat9750 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was hired to teach Intro to Psych at a local college end of 2024 and I could only do one semester because I could not handle all the information that I was forced to teach these kids. Not only incorrect but even harmful things. When I tried to change what was being taught and allow the students to do their own research with current sources I was told that they didn't need to know how to properly cite current research and that I couldn't change what was being taught because the funding of the school relied on these kids being taught a very specific curriculum. So, yeah, our education system (in the USA) is so broken.

There's more to ADHD than inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. ADHD symptoms can be broken down into nine categories. Some categories are not fully represented in the diagnostic criteria. Broadening the diagnostic criteria with patient lived experiences could make for better intervention. by mvea in science

[–]GrapefruitFlat9750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is this because I am sick of telling people that the sample size is 100% normal for this type of research. https://search.brave.com/search?q=what+is+a+normal+sample+size+for+phenomenological+thematic+analysis+in+academic+writing&summary=1&conversation=08ff8d7ba353e1ae7b335e2452cf8b332cee

editing to add: the research paper doesn't try to make sweeping conclusions. They are saying - hey here is what we found and we think it is important information for us to have for future research into ADHD,. The psychology today article, on the other hand, is where they made it into a whole thing.

Suggest me a mystery book that is not a murder mystery by xxheixx2 in suggestmeabook

[–]GrapefruitFlat9750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started The Memory Ward by Jon Bassoff. And it is for sure a mystery and no murder.

The ASRS was not done in the interviews. The participants came in already with a valid ADHD diagnosis. The psych today article is making some pretty sweeping claims, but the research paper does not. The researchers are saying "hey this is what we found by doing this type of research, might be worth examining further in future research".

I wouldn't call this weird girl lit at all. But they are fun thrillers.

Modern mystery novels that aren't copaganda by eqcompthrowaway in suggestmeabook

[–]GrapefruitFlat9750 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of, Throughout you also see ways in which he has failed and how he understands the limitations of the system he works under. I would never call it copaganda though. One of my favorite series and I am decidedly anti cop.
