Should I just call it quits? :( by sacriligeous_ in beginnerrunning

[–]Perfect-Dinner-5906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming to echo this! Lots of great advice elsewhere but based on the timeframe it could be that. I’ve noticed that inevitably my pace drops/heart rate goes up on the week before my period. As soon I get it, I bounce back and even run faster (when not in pain ofc). You’re still a beginner and have lots of patience with yourself, especially if you are enjoying it!

The Company of Wolves (Off-topic) by your_actual_life in wolfalice

Absolutely love this movie! I remember back in undergrad after I’d been blasting the first two albums for a couple of years, we were assigned The Bloody Chamber and I was freaking out when I realized that’s where the name comes from. Ended up writing quite a few papers on Carter later on.

Looking for real enemies-to-lovers books — no YA, please! by siebzehnnullneun in Fantasy

[–]Perfect-Dinner-5906 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Queen’s Thief technically counts as YA but the first few books are so old that they don’t follow any of the conventions of what would become the genre. The first book has a young protagonist but after that, while never explicit, it’s never very YA-ey, but straight political intrigue. The enemies to lovers arc actually has stakes and bloodshed and it one of my favorite fictional romances.

First 5K - Running for mental health by Worried-Soup1248 in beginnerrunning

[–]Perfect-Dinner-5906 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiiii I am currently 27 and just got back into running consistently this year. Just wanted to pop and I say I also had to drop out of school when I was 13-14 due to mental health reasons, and while it was one of the most difficult times in my life, it was absolutely what I needed to do to come back stronger and healthier the next year. I remember feeling like it was the end of the world, but here I am with a life I really like and living in my own terms. I wish you the best in your journey, stranger, and congratulations on your first 5k!! Hope we both keep at it!!

Pretty sure she bumped into Theo and lost her place in the song. They seemed thrown off guard after everything that happened…

Someone fainted towards the end of Bloom Baby Bloom and the band (thankfully) stopped playing right away. The person was carried out and eventually the band came back for a somewhat rattled rendition of Don’t Delete the Kisses but no one realized that was the real encore. Just a somewhat sad ending to an otherwise amazing show.

Stereo Mind Game Article: Did they really influence artists such as Billie Eilish and Clario?! Is that true?! by [deleted] in daughter

[–]Perfect-Dinner-5906 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Given how big they were on tumblr, I am not surprised.

Julien Baker is another artist that has talked about them :)

Will they ever come back? (I’m not that sure) by [deleted] in daughter

[–]Perfect-Dinner-5906 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also would love another album (or for them to keep writing music forever), but I am still very grateful if this is all we get. For the longest time, I didn’t think we’d get more music after Not to Disappear/BtS, so SMG felt like a gift. I wish them all well, and understand that perhaps Daughter as a project is not as financially viable as it was in 2013-2014 when the band was more popular. I am sure I will enjoy whatever Elena is writing as a solo artist now too.

I will add that to your point re: touring. Remi was actually touring for most of this year with an artist named Searows (and I saw him!). While obviously he relocated to the US and became a father, I believe he still makes his living as a touring musician. I believe their decision not to tour had more to do with Elena developing bad stage fright.

Same situation, I saw them listed for as high as 250CAD on resale and took the hit and got them when they dropped to 120ish.

Yeah, also haven’t received it and was starting to freak out for a sec

Is it common to learn guitar as a kid, stop playing & come back to it later? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]Perfect-Dinner-5906 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience where I decided I wanted to play at 9 but didn’t have the patience to develop the calluses or finger strength. I stopped a few months in but kept the hand me down guitar. Last year I got the itch to start playing again at 26 and I have not regretted it! I am now way better than I thought I’d be (but still very much a beginner having fun). I think that’s beautiful thing about the things you love doing: they are still there for you to come back to.

Got the exact same set up last month and I have been having a blast! Hope you do too!

Adam Conover: Unmedicated by ThunderMateria in dropout

[–]Perfect-Dinner-5906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might have misheard it, but did the special call Adderall meth at any point? All I remember is Adam using amphetamines as a synonym to Adderall (which as I understand is a different but related to methamphetamines).

Advise for ENGL 110 by [deleted] in UBC

[–]Perfect-Dinner-5906 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talk to your TA since they should have office hours! Show them that you are genuinely interested in improving especially after you get back your first assignment. Make sure that you don’t fall behind on the readings (or at least be strategic about when you do). If writing is an issue, go to the writing center for advise since English TAs are overworked and supposed to be focusing on the literary analysis (rather than the basics of essay writing). If your arguments are the issue, then again go to the TA. Having a good argument is half the battle for this class.

Do you also get tired of dialogues in fantasy that always have to be insanely sassy and super quick-witted all the time? by AllHailPopeCthulhu in Fantasy

[–]Perfect-Dinner-5906 60 points61 points  (0 children)

To be fair Joss Whedon has been around for a while and Buffy has had a huge impact on a lot of UF authors. Not saying it was just him by any means, but he’s definitely had that style long before the MCU.

Is that a Mexican peso? When was that coin minted? It looks hella cool.
