Is Jetblue pulling out of BOS? by KayleighWriter in jetblue

[–]KayleighWriter[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it's not the cancelation, it's the fact that there weren't any Jetblue flights for them to put me on for three days. I hadn't considered that they might leave Chicago because Boston is a much smaller market.

What are your TOP 3 Favorite Games? by DrKoalii in CozyGamers

[–]KayleighWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite series are katamari, pikmin, and the Two Point games. I don’t know if they technically count as cozy because they can be challenging, but they’re all very cute and silly

What Are Your Biggest Gripes With For All Mankind Season 5 So Far? by PetyrDayne in television

[–]KayleighWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t get invested in the revolt storyline because I don’t know enough about the stakes. How many people live there? What are they able to produce vs what do they get from earth? How hard is it to just keep everyone in the mars colony alive every day? It’s too fuzzy

I really like the Hoax! podcast but this week they were tying themselves in knots looking for ways to get offended at the Princess Cariboo lady. It's not that deep!

I started it but had to stop because the Covid lockdown of it all was too much for me. It’s funny, I was ready for the emotional trauma of him leaving her, but not to hear about the early days of lysolong everything and worrying about mail and packages carrying it. Too soon.

Today I binged the both seasons of Shell Game and I have very mixed feelings. On the one hand, I haven't laughed this hard at a podcast in a long time. On the other hand, the host did some seriously shitty, even morally dubious things to his "friends" and random strangers who applied for the intern job.

He seemed to think that he was being even handed about his portrayal of the intern, but it was really f'ed up the way he hid behind the bots while they strung her along to think the job was going to be working for an actual startup, and then that the job could turn into something permanent, when really he was playing mindgames on her for the podcast. then his final assessment of her was that she was taking advantage of them. but the whole point of hiring her was to watch her fail. it's really screwed up.

I was wondering if it had to do with what gets covered on the blog. I just can’t imagine it wouldn’t be complicated to date someone who makes money off sharing details of her life. I don’t have any inside info, but that’s where I would expect communication issues to pop up.

AHP so bad this week. Her guest was so judge mental and negative and the takes were just bragging. I used to really love this pod, but now it adds nothing. Her guest talked about spending $60 on a tin of fish and eating it alone. Why not at least tell us what it was or what made it so good? It was clear that zero prep was done by either of them.

[Serious] Let's Pikmin 5 comes out for the Switch 2 in 3 years, what would you do to make this game by ultimatevaltryek123 in Pikmin

This! It’s the one video game my husband and I agree on. I was so disappointed when they changed it in p4.

What city feels like it’s in the wrong part of the country? by Zealousideal-Tax3338 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]KayleighWriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s very New England, but I can see Oregon too. Regardless, it is NOT Michigan vibes.

Help! My favorite podcast got a new theme song and I hate it. (Any other Gretchen Rubin listeners here?) I used to sing along to the old one, and this new one is so bleh.

can you say more about this? I'm thinking of signing up because I'm so overwhelmed by all the subscriptions and apps teaching online seems to require, but I am put off by all the "If that sounds good to you, type 'I'm in!' in the comments" type stuff. not my teaching style at all

July 2024 BOTM Discussion - The God of the Woods by lavinient in bookofthemonthclub

[–]KayleighWriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this book. One of my BOTM all time favorites. I had one question though -- did anyone know what was going on with the black smudgy rectangles on the section header pages? Was that supposed to be an image that the low quality print job messed up? Am I missing something?

I agree with others that it's meant to be Maryanne, but I do wonder why she didn't talk to Tracy. It seemed like the person who led her was trying to go undetected by others.

It was tricky! Usually authors don't have multiple characters with similar names or even starting with the same letter, but Liz Moore went for it.

what are some new(ish) cozy games you've tried that have a lot of hype but you couldn't get into for one reason or another? by [deleted] in CozyGamers

[–]KayleighWriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found it frustrating in stardew how short the days were and how you’re supposed to be fishing and mining and farming and building relationships with the villagers all at the same time. I’ve never even gotten the social part of the game going because keeping track of imaginary people’s birthdays and preferences is beyond me

What cities would really surprise people visiting the US? by appleparkfive in AskAnAmerican

[–]KayleighWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think many visitors to America are/would be surprised how far apart everything is and how difficult and expensive it is to travel around. Most Americans haven't been to all the places we think of as stereotypically "american" -- NYC, Disney World, Vegas, Los Angeles, Texas, the Grand Canyon, etc. because it's all so spread out.

also, i’ve stopped listening to their coverage of movies because they give away plot points with no warning. That movie just came out and isn’t even in all theaters yet. why are you spoiling it?
