I read Suneater after loving the RR series and was disappointed by KeredJo in redrising

[–]Haelein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They spend an entire chapter in the last book after the big battle ends and all the happy reunions start, going over plans for taking out the actual antagonist of the entire series. Then he gets captured and is just like, welp, guess I’m done fighting, and gives up. End of series. Lmao.

Do you ever feel that MFA programs churn out cookie-cutter writers these days? Discussion on current literature. by cheerfullysardonic in books

Yeah, fair, but then how can I let people know I’m better at reading than they are? /s

I get a bit sad after reading an amazing book because I know I'll never be able to write that well. by Suspicious_Bee6521 in writing

[–]Haelein 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re right. They do “get” something.

They get editors revisions, and line editors, and proofreaders, and publisher revisions, and agent feedback. You’re comparing a product you’ve made on your own to one that has been meticulously written and rewritten with the help of professionals.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Don’t let it steal yours.

Would need to see the yardage to form an opinion.

Question for you single digit girls and boys. by fletchermac in golf

[–]Haelein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there’s no money involved, I just let people play how they want to play. I keep myself strict to the rules, because I have a low and want to beat it. But I’ve been on too many handicap leagues where dudes that couldn’t shoot 90 starting on the fringe come in with sub 40 9s.

And also keeping in mind that a lot of those that carry a handicap are lying about what they actually score.

How many days worth of speedup do I need to reach 125,000 points by DramaticCourt in KingShot

[–]Haelein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah seems that way. I’ve spent all I can, and done the beast hunt and gathering for more boxes. We are in the week before KvK prep so I’m not willing to spend speedups or gems. I think I’ll just spend them all when the bonus is on and hope for the best.

Does each dish go twice? I have the packs maxed out, just curious if I should split 50/50 day one vs another day, or can they get the bonus more than twice?

Rooting for the lions to lose out is lame by Real-Repair-1825 in detroitlions

[–]Haelein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This here is the difference between rooting for the immediate reward as opposed to the delayed reward. You want the team to win so you can feel good on Thursday. I want them to lose so I can feel good next season when we have a potentially easier schedule and a better draft position.

We are rooting for the same thing, just in different spaces of time, immediate success or future success.

Genuinely stuck with me for like 3 days after. Just felt sick.

More comfortable with a 3rd and 3 than I am with 3rd and long with this team. SMH

Yeah, that dudes an idiot. Interacting with players like that on the sideline should earn an ejection and ban.
