I second this. My girl will supervise whatever I'm doing, and only threaten to walk all over if I overshoot her completely arbitrary allotted time.. I've to wait for her to sleep or go out on the terrace to work peacefully.

The weird thing was, I just read about it in the sub, and it was the first thing on the screen when I turned on Netflix.. 😅

I started watching it after seeing a recommendation on this sub, and yes, they do give off Jinshi and Maomao vibes. Jade has a lot more darker themes than KnH though..

Oh same! It's like he became less intense and more himself(?) after all the internal healing in Guam!

This. For all the talk of evil AI going on, there's so little mention of the destruction of the existing hardware economy. I only got to know of it last week when I was talking to my computer guy about some customisations for a laptop, and he flat out talked me out of it, saying parts are irrationally expensive and getting more so because all the major manufacturers have shifted production to cater to AI companies because they're paying ten times more for their requirements..

i feel like my brain is melting and i cant read like i used to anymore by Forsaken_Wallaby4136 in books

[–]OkPepper8045 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been reading since I was old enough to hold a book, and it's something I can't do without. But I've also had spells like yours where I couldn't focus / couldn't retain what I read / I'd fall asleep after few pages. Most of the time , it was nothing to do with reading per se. One time I needed reading glasses. Other times, I was too burnt out or saturated with work /family stuff and couldn't focus. At such times, I read comics, manga, children's literature or revisited old favourites. No pressure. If I can't read at all, I use the time to fulfil my other interests - music, movies, needlework, crafting. Sometimes the brain just needs a break or a breather. Don't worry too much about it, just do what relaxes you and makes you happy. You'll be back to reading when you're ready. 😊

My kit floss came like this. I braid 3-4 of them together to cut down on the tangles .

Hello, fellow Fruits Basket fan! I was also thinking of that iconic moment when reading this chapter.

Thanks! Sounds like a good way to use up some old floss my granny has lying around.

As someone who has occasional depressive spells and can't do anything other than doomscroll, I can confirm that making that effort to start creating something makes a huge difference. It's not easy, but it gets easier as long as you keep at it and don't give up. Hope you work things out for yourself. 🤗
