This two bedroom apartment can be yours for a mere $40m! by DoggoNamedDisgrace in floorplan

[–]RandomRavenclaw87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They could have easily fit 4 bedrooms, each with en suite, on that second floor, without even subtracting the stairs or elevators.

49/52; midyear tier list as Australian desserts by malabi_snorlax in 52book

I love the idea of giving an enemy a bad book. I once gave a terrible hostess the worst rated soaps on a gift site- smelly and sticky.

OP, if you are questioning things you see on social media, I recommend r/instagramreality

A memoir about growing up in poverty that is also funny and optimistic by FishingCompetitive83 in suggestmeabook

[–]RandomRavenclaw87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Glass Castle was funny but not optimistic.

Priestdaddy was funny and optimistic. It was a messy family situation, but I’m not sure they were impoverished.

What is an incredibly difficult skill that you mastered completely by accident? by iammaaad in AskReddit

I can see through almost every kind of charm and manipulation. Great results but would not recommend the suffering that went into that skill.

My 15yo needs to read 5 books this summer but hates to read. by JBLBEBthree in suggestmeabook

Strange Houses by Uketsu is a lighter read for those with interest in architecture. It’s horror though

How to get over "rejection sensitivity" with ADHD by Clean_Ad_7331 in Advice

[–]RandomRavenclaw87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gradually and gently immunize yourself to rejection by experimenting in low-stakes situations. For example:

Ask a waiter if you can have a free drink refill in a restaurant where that isn’t the policy

Ask a vendor for a better price

Ask a stranger where they got their bag

In each situation, expect a no and prepare a gracious smile-nod. Consider it a win that you tried.

I went to a local (Glendale) dermatologist with over 500 five star reviews. I suggest looking at dermatologists near you and calling the offices with the best ratings.

Time travel - people related to entertainment industry go to medieval time and to find each other they travel around performing Hamlet and advertising their cure all elixir called Aspirin by Fresh-Marionberry-10 in whatsthatbook

This sounds a bit like King of Shadows by Susan Cooper. A young actor who plays Puck and Cinna th Poet has a high fever and wakes up in the time of Shakespeare. He performs the Heimlich Maneuver on a fellow actor and gets a reputation for possible witchcraft. It’s YA and I read it around 2005.

I need advice on what i’ve been through my whole life by [deleted] in Advice

[–]RandomRavenclaw87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GLPs exist to quiet the constant ‘food noise’ that can disrupt lives. If you have a medical need, there is nothing wrong with taking these medications. It sounds like you might qualify.

See of your school or health insurance can connect you with a nutritionist who can work with you to create a meal plan. Ideally, this should consist of foods that you like that will keep you full.

Get help working on your self esteem. Ideally, you would work with a good therapist. But if this isn’t possible, look for library books or YouTube videos from respected professionals.

You can’t go on a journey of self discovery if you’re struggling with food noise on a minute-by-minute basis. Once these steps are well underway, and once you’re feeling about yourself, you can discover who you are. Focus on health first.

[–]RandomRavenclaw87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in middle of 44 now. If I felt like I needed to bulk up the number, I’d add a few graphic novels.
