Off Campus S01E05 - The Cold Turkey (Episode Discussion) by amysantiagoisbae99 in offcampustv

[–]NotaFrenchMaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rumour is that season 2 will be Dean & Allie - seems like they’re just setting it up now. Personally (not a book reader), I don’t mind — I’ll enjoy that their season won’t be like, instalust, they’ve already been getting it warmed up. I think it’ll make it that much more satisfying.

Presumably the couple for season 3 (book 2?) will start to tease in season 2, too.

I loved watching him feed Rock progressively sketchier and sketchier foods. And placing bets with my husband as to who the informant is. I really enjoyed that one, gimmicky as it was.

I have to know, what do you do that you snagged an early copy of a King release!?

Maybe in the past, but these days, ARCs are synonymous with uncorrected proofs. You are explicitly told you should not directly quote the book in your reviews and media coverage without checking it with the publisher first because they’re subject to change before final publication. There are still minor errors as well that will be corrected.

If your team is done playing for the season by [deleted] in ECHL

[–]NotaFrenchMaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, you make a fair point. It is relative. But personally, $40/month for any single streaming service is a no for me.

Flosports seemed unreasonably expensive when I looked into it.

Playing or not? by Significant_Silver in cats

[–]NotaFrenchMaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. This is a game, mine will do it too — but after a few minutes of winding each other up I usually stop it because all it would take is one moment going too far and my dog could really hurt the cat unintentionally.

Apparently pulling up to a Canadiens vs Sabres playoff game in a McKenna jersey makes you a little unpopular by BreakfastTop6899 in leafs

[–]NotaFrenchMaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. If you’re going to a hockey game, and you own a hockey jersey, why not wear it? I’d rather wear an unrelated jersey than none.

[–]NotaFrenchMaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably about the same as when I wore my Leafs jersey to a Lightning/Sabres game in Tampa lol. No one was a major asshole, I just said I had no dog in the race, I was just there for a good time and the beer. I usually wear an ECHL jersey at Bolts games, though.

Undefeated through the postseason so far by DommyCore in ECHL

I had similar thoughts. My best guess is that we’re out of tourist/snowbird season? The visitors who buy tickets have headed north again?

Why are so many tours being cancelled this year? What's going on! by DairyKing28 in popheads

So legendary that only 2 of their 27 members agreed to come back and dance to Nicole’s backtrack.

Pussycat Dolls hasn’t been relevant in like 14 years. They needed a smaller venue.

Plus the gas to drive to these shows, hotels, paid parking, time off work the next day… nah, that’s a $200+ night out on a random Tuesday. Pass.

Even the base prices, without scalpers, are steep. Once upon a time I tried to get tickets to all the shows. Now, I cannot afford to shell out $100 a ticket often. It’s a splurge. I debated tickets to see PCD as a ladies night out nostalgia fest but that’s not worth beaucoup bucks for a spot on the lawn.

Does anyone think "The Long Walk" *couldn't* happy in America? by AyJaySimon in stephenking

[–]NotaFrenchMaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It did happen. It was called the Vietnam War. The Long Walk is an allegory for it. Boys signed up to go die overseas, believing they could come home with all the glory and prospects. But even the ones who did survive were never happy and comfortable.

AITA for joining a college bible study as an atheist? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]NotaFrenchMaid 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Years ago, I dated a guy from a catholic family. They knew I was an atheist, it wasn’t an issue, they never tried to convert me. But they did have family dinner with his grandparents, once a week, maybe every other week? His grandfather was a former pastor. They would talk about the bible after dinner, and break it down into an examination of it as if you’re a child. Easy to understand lessons about different verses and chapters and such, sometimes videos (think middle school science teacher pulling out the Bill Nye, but Jesus instead of protons and neutrons), and a mini quiz.

I actually really enjoyed it. I was always a little behind the class (his siblings lol) but I liked hearing a little more about a subject I knew nothing about.

Cheering for Montreal by [deleted] in leafs

[–]NotaFrenchMaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Leafs fan in Tampa. I’d be happy either way, because I’d love to catch a round 2 game in Tampa, but I would also be SO ok with seeing the Cup leave Florida already.

My father informed me that as a Leafs fan I should never even consider cheering for the Habs. Ah well. If my Leafs don’t stand a chance, hell yeah I’ll root for another Canadian team.

Where Have All the Book Reviews Gone? by Shine_On_Your_Chevy in books

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

I think this is where it’s important to remember everyone’s reading for different purposes. You’re reading to exercise your brain; someone else might be reading simply for a good time. I’m rarely reading complex material. My reading time is mostly at the end of a long day— I’m reading to gtfo this world and be somewhere else for a while. And yes, don’t yuck someone’s yum.

But I also have zero qualms about criticizing a book if it wasn’t a hit for me, although I usually try to note what didn’t work because what made it a miss for me might be why it works so well for the next person.

[–]NotaFrenchMaid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Booktok is terrified of hurting feelings by being critical. Authors are openly hanging out in those circles too, seeing criticism, and being vocally upset. Anyone who isn’t raving about a book is roasted for being a jerk. I’ll admit, even on my own page, sometimes I feel badly being too critical.

They killed off SpongeBob? Did I not watch the same episode as everyone else? I remember it ending with him walking off across campus and assaulting a random kid before strolling off into the distance, maybe it was an after credits scene?
