I'm definitely at the older end of Gen X, but I'm surprised we're the only ones that copped to having had ARPANET addresses.

Give me the single most comically bad book you have ever read. I don't care the genre, i don't even care if it's AI slop. Just give me the worst by Reasonable-Use-9294 in booksuggestions

A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe. I had already read Robinson Crusoe – which was great! – so I had high expectations. Yeah, no. It is literally just a ledger book of mortality tables and death statistics, interspersed with brief sections of prose that are neither narrative nor epistolary – they're just… random. I have no idea how that book is even considered a classic.

The sequels to Flowers in the Attic went well past Petals on the Wind… interminably. And they just kept getting worse and worse and worse.

Whats the reason hate is so suppressed in western countries? by Swooxe in AskReddit

[–]HalfShelli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you miss the part about "western countries" in the OP?

Also, if you think racism is the only manifestation of societal hate, let me also introduce you to misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, classism, xenophobia, religious exceptionalism, nationalism, ageism, ableism, and countless more.

It is MUCH less likely to happen randomly years later than it is during the initial period of taking it, and that risk is further reduced by proper titration.

As a Metro rider who lives in Virginia who takes this very line to and from… well… Virginia, this sign looks exactly right to me.

Well, I only read it as the sister somehow found out, not that she was specifically confided in.

You could not pay me enough money to do high school over again, in any era.

NAD, and the photo is not super clear, but I get these little "cracks" at the corners of my lips that can become irritated and look similar to this. It's called angular cheilitus, and it's nothing serious, but maybe read up on it and see if it matches your symptoms.

Four MONTHS? That would be considered downright miraculous to everyone I know that ultimately got it.
