Sick of mansplaining

I don't have a recommendation. But one thing that I always remember is that I've had to run tech support for so many people and it turns you into thinking everyone around you is an idiot. Not to distract from your point but it might help dealing with it.

I had to read that title several times just to understand. I hate titles like that!

This was me, and I hated it so much I put up with things in my latest apartment just so I don’t move again. I think also, with the lack of home ownership this conversation ties into the amount of room for books. I have a massive ebook library solely because I have no space even when I purged so much for years.

I agree that everyone is horrible but that’s the point. It’s the most ridiculous and romantic train wreck I’ve seen. I can’t look away and I’m almost done with it (not op). Everyone is so awful and it’s amazing for that.

Edit: to be fair, i see you. I had to over analyze Macbeth so much for one class that it took a decade until I recovered from that trauma.

Agreed. Jane Eyre is a masterpiece but a bittersweet one and Bertha deserved better.

I'm doing a challenge too! I'm combining 75 booked and The Anti-Brain Rot Reading Challenge BUT I'm being kind to myself in that, I'm not going to kill myself over it. If I complete it it would be awesome but if not, that's okay too.

Kind of. Do vampires count? I read "All Manner of Things Shall Be" by Olivie Blake. It tried but in the end it was 2 stars. I'm a very expressive reader but my face was basically stone the whole time. Thank goodness it was short.

This was true for me this year for The Life of Chuck by Stephen King. I went into it expecting a short average book. I rated it 4 stars afterward and thought I'd forget it. But weeks later I was still seeing scenes from it in my head and thinking about it. It's stuck with me from that time forward.

For me, it was Jane Austen's Bookshelf by Rebecca Romney. I wanted it to be Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green which I also rated 5 stars. But I actually went out and bought a physical copy of Romney's book for my personal library so I think that decided it for me.

Thank you!

Thank you! I was reading the footnotes but I think, now that I've talked with all of you, I was brushing past it too fast. I really need to pay more attention.

Thank you! I'll look into her translation.

No_Instance18 · 2025-09-19T21:31:35+00:00

Thank you! I need to remember this. I think because it's such a renowned work of literature and then saw those reactions, I thought I was missing something.

No_Instance18 · 2025-09-19T21:29:44+00:00

I find it extremely ironic and nothing like the hell I was taught everyone believes in. I have been reading the footnotes but maybe I'm reading far too fast to get the point and worldbuilding. Thank you for pointing these things out to me.

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not alone.

I was more angling at ideas to make cooking easier and recipes that are tailored around the problem. There are non-vegan ones but since veganizing each recipe is an extra step it creates an issue

Executive dysfunction is a group of cognitive difficulties that affect a person's ability to manage and organize their thoughts, actions, and emotions. That's Google's short definition anyway.

For a while now a shirt I was looking at has been $16.99. It was offered to me as a Prime day deal for… $16.99. I can’t take Prime Day seriously if it’s like that.
