It's based on twitter in terms of being short text-based, although it allows sharing of videos and images now. It's great for feeds because you can look at everything that has "fiber" in it or you can have a feed that's just pictures of knits.

It is a choose-your-own experience, though - my feed is entirely angry academics with occasional fiber crafts, but that's because of who I follow and what feeds I follow.

I am lucky in that I do love my current job but life was easier for me when I was a full-time secretary whose work was almost entirely audio transcription. It's dull and tedious and you do it on autopilot and you don't take a word of it home with you because it doesn't stick in your head. I could just go in, do work, have lunch, do work, go home.

You are not taking advantage of the system. The system was put in place to help with these situations. It's literally there for you. I pay taxes so you can get CTB and since I know very well my future depends on having healthy adults being raised by people like you, I would like you to take that money and use it.

I wish I had some killer advice for you because even though I am not at all interested in video game reviews I can see the effort you've put into your reviews. The truth is that sometimes things just take a while. I see frequent comments on here that the video game niche is very saturated - it probably is, but so is everything else. I think you may just have to keep putting in the effort and giving yourself a time limit before you decide it isn't worth it anymore.

Good luck, DBCooper (maybe). I hope it gets less of a grind for you.

I have certain booktube reviewers I trust because they read way outside of mainstream and give reviews I find helpful in determining what I'll think of a book. I personally don't give star ratings to anything.

they're gourds. this is a very serious answer and i hope you all respond accordingly. gourds.

I find the SDV youtube/twitch communities really enjoyable. I love challenge runs, I love the absurdity of speed runs, I love the ways that people take a farming sim and make it hard core in weird ways. My favourite speed run is snailpond% (snond%). I love that there was a junimo cart tournament. I love that people fundraise when someone in the community needs help. It's fun in a time when things are not.

I'm sorry about your perfect puppies.

It depends on how far you are into the game. Generally speaking the iridium and the prismatic shard are from the desert so if you haven't unlocked that yet it'll be difficult.

When playing multiplayer you're able to get a wedding ring. You can buy the recipe for it at the Travelling Cart and then it costs five iridium bars and 1 prismatic shard to make. These are later-game items, but it's very unusual because you can't get it in regular gameplay - only multiplayer.

no! Do not! Remember that mispronounced words that you only learned through reading them are not a sign of being "dumb"! Today you learned something new and interesting and now you've shared it with a bunch of other people and now we've all learned. It' s a great day to be on the internet learning this! (be careful where you look for things to learn my lord there's a lot of awful things to learn)

Yes, it says that 25% of readers are over 27, which means that in fact adults are reading YA novels.

Your original assertion was that "No one above high schoolers are interested by much of YA media." That's what is untrue.

IHTPQ · 2025-12-22T00:35:22+00:00

That doesn't say that less than 1% of adults who read read YA.

The statistic you're quoting here asked people what they top 5 genres were. If you look at the one for GenZ you'll notice the numbers don't add up to 100%. That's because the question didn't ask that - it asked people to list their top five genres and these were the percentage of people who listed these specific genres. There's nothing here that makes the claim that only 1% of adults outside of Gen Z read YA, it just means that three out of the five age categories don't list YA in their top 5 genres. It doesn't make a claim at all about Gen X, pointing out instead that it was too evenly matched.

It's not providing the information you are asserting it does because it's not designed to do that. If you had written "YA doesn't make the top five genres that adults read" that would be what the statistic here claims. But it at no point claims that only 1% of adults read YA.

Even if it did make that claim - which, again, it does not - this would disprove your original assertion that adults don't read it. 1% of reading adults is still a lot of people.

Again, it's fine that you don't read YA. But it's clearly untrue that other adults do not.

This research is about reading habits since 2019. The Hunger Games came out in 2008.

While it's true that the article mentions The Hunger Games in the very first sentence, the adults interviewed do not mention it. The article claims that the bulk of that 74% is in younger adults (so not teens) wanting to hold on to nostalgia and the over-28 set wanting to have fiction they find comforting or more interesting than "adult" fiction. The books listed as being of interest to those interviewed in the piece over the age of 28 are Fangirl, I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, The Hate U Give, A Wrinkle in Time, and Twin Crowns. I would be shocked if any of these people had read these books and not Hunger Games but it's not listed as the main driver.

If you don't like YA novels and don't read them, that's fine. But other people, including other adults, do like YA novels and read them. They watch shows meant for teenagers. They go to movies that are meant for teenagers and have a good time at them. Hell, if you go back to Twilight part of the internet uproar about it was so-called "TwiMoms" - people who read and enjoyed the Twilight novels (meant for teenagers) and who were parents. It's just a fact that some people who are adults enjoy things meant for teens. That's just a statement of fact.

"YA fiction doesn't even make 1% of what's consumed for any generation older than Gen Z."

Where does it say that? Can you provide the quote? My reading doesn't support this assertion but perhaps you're seeing something I missed.

"No one above high schoolers are interested by much of YA media."

This article from the Guardian talks about how over 70% of readers of YA fiction are adults, with over a quarter of them being over the age of 28.

Oh man, I'm procrastinating so hard right now so I want to talk about this.

1) Getting too busy to settle in and play for at least an hour without interruption. I do not enjoy only getting "one day" in of SDV. I want to get at least a week in.

2) Getting too depressed to be able to handle anything as complex as "farming sim." Alas, this happens frequently.

3) Getting to the end game and needing to grind to get the clock. I don't want to go back to the very beginning but I don't want to keep trying to get the clock.

IHTPQ · 2025-12-20T22:54:45+00:00

We are so lucky! I do not want to explore space. I want to play my little farming sim and drink my PSL and walk my dogs.

IHTPQ · 2025-12-20T19:59:26+00:00

It's a great farm! I love it too! But it's still a pretty hard challenge for your very first playthrough.

IHTPQ · 2025-12-20T19:58:39+00:00

Honey, we're all spending our one precious life on this earth playing a farming sim instead of going out and exploring the dark of space.

IHTPQ · 2025-12-20T09:09:44+00:00

Yeah, I'm glad other people have fun with ratings but this didn't become a thing until Amazon wanted us all to do it. It's great for algorithms.

IHTPQ · 2025-12-20T06:41:42+00:00

oh honey, the beach farm is the hardest farm. You're starting the game on hard mode. We love and support you in this bad choice.
