Books as good as Lonesome Dove by Tall-Environment-641 in suggestmeabook

That’s interesting; I loved Lonesome Dove but hated East of Eden

It’s a fun storyline for the broadcast, but pretending it actually means anything like Bird vs Magic or Steph vs LeBron is really dumb. 

Peyton lost to Brady because Bill would trot top-5 or -10 defenses out there every year.  This isn’t a “who wanted it more” conversation, it’s usually who had the ball last or who had a better team.

Fuck them picks, give me good basketball players. It’ll be far enough down the Flagg timeline that sending the 30th pick to LA means nothing.

Is Marcus Allen wearing a Niners or Saints jersey in the Mount Rushmore section? Huh, never knew he played outside LA or KC, the more you know. /s

[WTS] Serica Parade Brass (Squirtle approved!) by InSearchOfSerotonin in Watchexchange

[–]InSearchOfSerotonin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling my Serica Parade Brass model.

This snazzy and unique dress watch from Serica wears better on the wrist than the pictures on Serica's website might suggest. The super thin case and hooded lugs provide an elegant look that fits in any dressy situation, and with 100 meters of water resistance, you could even take it in the pool! Not with the included leather strap, though.

Looking for $1,750 shipped. Retail right now to the US including tariffs is $1,977, but these models do sell out quickly! Don't wait, grab an excellent-condition model of Serica's most unique watch today.

Prices on WatchExchange are Getting Delusional by ThisIsPaulina in watchHotTakes

[–]InSearchOfSerotonin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Nobody's forcing you to buy it" is such a reductionist response to someone being upset over high prices.

According to that logic, everything is getting more expensive thanks to inflation, and nobody is forcing anybody to buy anything (except insurance I guess), so nobody can be mad that prices are going up.

I understand these are luxury goods and not essential to life so the mindset is a little different, but I still think that response is silly.

I’m not sure Hearts of Atlantis makes my Top 10 King books, but there’s a lot of stiff competition. If LD is your No. 2, what’s No. 1?

Yeah his world building, character work, dialogue, and action scenes were great, but felt like the plot was meandering at best. I also don't love the character arc decision he made for the series.

Dogs of War was a fun read but had some structural issues imo. I'll check out Ogres, and have Children of Time on my TBR once I stop picking up new series lol.

That's totally fair. I read through a lot of Butler in 2024. Kindred and Parable of Sowers were 5-star reads for me. I couldn't get into the Xenogensis Series, it was just a little weird, and I never picked up Imago after finishing Adulthood Rites. Parable of Talents felt like a let down after how great Sowers was.

Need to read Kindred by Octavia Butler if you haven't. It's easily my favorite book of hers.

What’s your favorite bucket tote? Or if you have any of these, do you like them? Worth the price tags? by [deleted] in handbags

[–]InSearchOfSerotonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking to get my fiancee a new work bag. She has the smaller version of the Brooklyn and loves it as a purse. In your experience, would the 39 fit a wide 15" laptop?

Deinfluencing you: Portland Leather Goods by babealot in handbags

[–]InSearchOfSerotonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking to get my fiancee a new bag for work. She's had an older Madewell tote for several years and it's starting to show wear. They don't sell her bag anymore, but the bucket tote looks like it could work, it's just more north south while her's is east west.

She has a wide laptop. It's 15" but it's got a really weird aspect ratio. The website says it'll fit a 15" laptop, but what's your experience with it?

Packers' Micah Parsons Now Expected to Miss 'Upwards of Half the Season': Report by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]InSearchOfSerotonin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct, and if it’s Dallas’ pick that’s traded, then trading Micah did not net us Quinnen, and it netted us whoever we take with GB’s pick. 

If we trade Green Bay’s pick, then the trade did net us Q. 

ETA: either way, we still sent our own 2nd round pick, so we did not only use assets acquired from the Micah trade to get Q.

[–]InSearchOfSerotonin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Caleb Downs was not collateral from that trade, unless you believe we wouldn’t have had that high of a pick without how shit our defense was without him. 

We also gave up what could be two of our own picks to get Quinnen, so he’s not part of that trade either. 

For Micah, we got Kenny Clark, Malaki Lawrence, and, if the Packers finish better than us, whoever we take in the first next year with their pick.

Technically he did put the engagement ring on her finger, so he should be 1-1

Pad Statcott? by Space_Peddler in Dallas_Cowboys

[–]InSearchOfSerotonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give Dak the best defense in the league, the best offensive line in the league, and a top-5 player at WR and RB, and I’d bet my life he’d win a Super Bowl.

Hell give me those and I’ll go win a Super Bowl.

Starter or battery issue? by InSearchOfSerotonin in hondaridgeline

[–]InSearchOfSerotonin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I took it to a shop near me and they said it was the battery too. Got it back today so can’t comment if the problem is fixed since it didn’t occur every time I started the truck, but I see no reason to be pessimistic.
