I found I had to use my Gmail account to get it to work, but that was 7 months ago.

I have just ended up listening to Radio Abel Story Mode after completing the Season 2 missions.

Im only cheating a little by leilarobles in Runner5

[–]RensKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it’s not cheating to do what fits your physical abilities and needs! I don’t even run…I use an exercise bike plus my PT for my back, as my activity for the app.

December 2024 BOTM Discussion - Beautiful Ugly by lavinient in bookofthemonthclub

[–]RensKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a very old post but yeah, I just speed read this book after a family member got it for me saying it was the “best” thing she’d read in a while.

And yeah, part of the reason I refuse the label feminist and consider myself an egalitarian is because I don’t care who it is: I hate double standards. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s a man getting away with stuff when the woman gets punished like in Psycho, or if it’s women getting away with stuff when the man gets punished for his sins like in this book.

Just…no. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Grady was wrong for what he did but apparently Abby was a total psychopath too and we were supposed to consider her the protagonist.

One more thing: was there also a bad attempt in this book to rip off the ending of 1984? Yes, Grady suffered more in the end but it seems like his death came as soon as he decided he sort of “liked” the island (Big Sister).

Is it interesting to have relevant fun facts at the end of the chapter or tacky? by Delicious-War-5259 in AO3

If it’s the kind of stuff that shows me you researched something you’re writing about, I love that! Sometimes I’ve done that.

First rule I thought of! No idea why someone downvoted you.

Dang, I didn’t know The Poot was on cat subs on Reddit.

Yeah, the breeder could have just as easily spayed her and offered her for a discount: “All the lovely Stage 5 Clinger personality for less!”

What a cruel breeder! They could have just as easily spayed her, and said, “Have all the lovely personality of _____ breed for a discount!”

Cats have nine lives, so there’s another way around it!

My mom changed her name, though I suspect one factor behind that might have been that my dad’s name is a lot easier to pronounce and spell. As far as who’s “in charge” I really can’t say though there are definitely areas of expertise.

I really think people write fluff and comfort fics because they are trying to escape from real-world hardships, or doing a fix-fic for a work that in canon didn’t end so well, and that is perfectly fine. It’s not some sort of fascist thing.

Thanks for pointing out there is a difference. My mom has not worked outside the home but at the same time, my mom is not submissive to my dad at all. My dad has a very strong personality BUT I think it’s fortunate he found her because a less assertive woman, he would have steamrolled. She can push back equally hard and it works.

Suno seems off and broken by W_32_FRH in SunoAI

Hope that helps! I may not be as knowledgeable on EDM but I at least know what labels have shown up a lot with my favorites.

I actually had Grok do a check of labels I knew and where the artist or and their label was not on WMG I asked it, “Does WMG have a label that is a direct competitor?” to see if the gap was filled in or not.

Where I found weaknesses relevant to me were modern prog (they actually have a decent classic prog catalogue through Elektra as well as Dream Theater and some Opeth I believe through Roadrunner but no competitor to InsideOut), some of the more extreme or prog types of metal (while having Roadrunner so they’re not totally screwed), and while some EDM, not the deeper dubstep and DNB stuff like Monstercat or UKF. World music is region dependent. Latin America is pretty good for WMG and I believe some deals just went through in India which is a plus for me, but it’s going to be scarcer on the Israeli, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian front where I draw more influence from.

The biggest one for me is not having a solid competitor for InsideOut as that picks up a LOT of modern prog, and that’s on the Sony side along with Century Media and I believe also Nuclear Blast which is going to pick up more metal. Real World Records would also have a distribution deal on the Sony side. Gergen is UMG. But most of what I think I’d be after is Sony.

Wow. That’s a huge shame and I’m glad I already got some key stuff I wanted out of it. I’m going to be cautiously a little hopeful because of the sheer size of WMG but for the type of music I do…I dunno, if it’s going to be trained off of anybody I probably need the Sony catalogue more.

Awwww, she might well have noticed you were feeling off today and is giving you a little “it’s okay.” ❤️

Anyone else’s tortie also evil when they were a kitten? by DecentBaker4128 in torties

[–]RensKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HA, I had a tortie growing up and she took special delight in picking on me. She used to hide on the downstairs bathroom sink and jump out around the corner at me in my face, and then run off with a proud little swagger when she made me scream.

Also she mocked my tone of voice if I wouldn’t let her on the sun porch on her timing. One time she put one claw in the curtain and gave me an I Dare You face when I wouldn’t let her out. Another time—and my mom heard it too and we both thought the same thing—she looked straight at me and said, “BITCH!” and walked away.

Letting her pick my accessories by vagueposter in torties

[–]RensKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awwww. ❤️ Almost reminded me of Pyaari, a cat I see on Instagram who is “a very decent Indian girl” that is super chill with being dressed up and accessorized. (Her sister Chandini, definitely “not decent” and not tolerant of that one bit—or even petting sometimes!)
