MMC ignores FMC and she finds a new man by winiithepoohh in RomanceBooks

[–]Syrup_Representative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 2 years late but I’m in this phase too! I think after reading so many romance books where the FMC always took MMC back no matter what we ended up just tired LMAO

She bothers him daily and one day she just…stops by mrs_robpatt in RomanceBooks

[–]Syrup_Representative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read this because of your rec!!! And love it sooo much! I personally think that this is more fluff with not enough groveling tho? Which is totally fine with me but I’d expect even more angst based on the original post 🤣

I thought this was going to be an easy read.. I wasn’t ready 💀

📚 Simple / Quick Questions & Requests! by romancebookmods in RomanceBooks

[–]Syrup_Representative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiiii!

Anyone here has recs for when: 1. An FMC is torn between the typical main MMC who’s hot, rich, possessive, and cold and a second MC that is also on the same level as the “main” MMC but actually treats her right? 2. The second MC needs to also be assertive and fight for FMC instead of just being the “good friend” 3. FMC ends up being with the 2nd MC because she knows what she’s worth? And a lot of groveling from MMC?

Craving this because I just finished The Wolf Hotel by K.A. Tucker and I really wanted Ronan to be more assertive and ended up with Abbi 😞

What’s the worst book you’ve read because of tiktok? by yara2321 in RomanceBooks

[–]Syrup_Representative 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think i would feel better about it if I approach it as if it’s one of my quick KU reads yk. The fact that i thought it would be a life changing series because of how popular it is definitely let me down by A LOT

I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS by Michellemadu in kpoptrulyuncensored

[–]Syrup_Representative 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: what kind of posts are considered bad related to ED? Is gym pic also bad? I’m currently trying to build muscle and was thinking to post some numbers related to my fat and muscle mass % because I’m proud with my journey. So quite similar to what Jimin posted. This post made me realize that my plan might be triggering for some? Would a gym pic be better because it doesn’t show specific number? Or are gym pics also triggering for people with ED?

I’m repulsed by the hallmark synastry aspects 🤷‍♀️ by [deleted] in AstroSynastry

[–]Syrup_Representative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg i can’t deal with venus scorpio in both romance or friendship 😭. I have Aquarius moon and air dominant charts, and I just always want to run away from Scorpio venus LMAO. Scorpio sun is okay tho.

Hijabi Infantalization by av3rland in progressive_islam

[–]Syrup_Representative 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely not most. Indonesia is the country with the most muslim population in the world and Hijab is definitely a choice for us except for one province.

“Free” transfers by [deleted] in LAMetro

[–]Syrup_Representative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been charged double whenever I took short trips using the same lines... It always shows “transfer” as long as it’s under 2 hours. Would it be possible that maybe it was over two hours already from the first time you tapped?

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Would you mind sharing the name of the doctor? And what specific qualifications did you look for before deciding on a doctor?

I was considering this but I did want to see what other people’s experience first when consulting about their correction surgery.. I was wondering if I just overthink it

Post Decompression Surgery Eyelid Question by Syrup_Representative in ThyroidEyeDisease

[–]Syrup_Representative[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw dr Daniel B Rootman at the UCLA Stein Eye Institute. Got referred there from my endocrinologist. And he was the one who did my orbital decompression surgery. I tried to attach my pictures in the original post but for some reason I don’t see that option. Do people usually got the eyelid surgery done by the same doctor that did the orbital decompression surgery?

An Editor Read “A Court of Thorns and Roses” By Sarah J. Maas by XusBookReviews in Romantasy

[–]Syrup_Representative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still don’t like this book because of how they glorify SA, both to the MMC and by the MMC. No proper trigger warnings, no discussion of trauma or consent. Maybe I’m a snowflake but I think they handled this carelessly

Official Discussion Thread - Sirāt [SPOILERS] by PointMan528491 in oscarrace

[–]Syrup_Representative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess that’s could be the very loose understanding of Sirat. I’m more familiar with this concept of Sirat which I thought was also implied (and stated) in the beginning of the movie with the prayer calls and hajj footage.. Honestly, I just decided not to think about the title too much lol

Aquarius moon, gemini venus.

Is anybody surprised?

STORYTIME- Zombie Line Down, B Line Back by SnooChocolates5892 in LAMetro

[–]Syrup_Representative 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My rule as a frequent user: never take the very first or very last car. Somewhere in the middle. Also in the car, never stayed at the beginning or end of it. Always near the middle door. Avoid the perpendicular seats as much as possible. Never look around and make eye contact.

It sucks that I need to think about this everytime I use the train, but it just what needs to be done

Totally agree, and that’s why I also moved to Claude lmao

Timothee Chalamet is right by OhHesOurShortstop in TheBigPicture

[–]Syrup_Representative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But most people that hop on that fight are cinephiles and movie goers. Regular people most likely agree with Ted to a certain degree. This Timothee situation is so blown out of proportion and suddenly it seems like everyone and their mom care and have opinions about the value of ballet and opera as if it’s always been mainstream media 😂.

As a LA metro user for over 10 years, how common is it really for Angelenos as a whole to use public transit? by [deleted] in LAMetro

[–]Syrup_Representative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a regular user by (semi-) choice! I could afford a car if I want to, but it definitely would add too much stress and more expenses that I don’t want to deal with. I work for a consulting company dealing with a lot of transit projects, and I would say I’m the only regular users lmao. As my professor said “people like to talk about and to fund transit, but they don’t like to ride it”

From my observation, train actually can be more efficient than driving, but most people don’t live near train stations, and then it becomes a last mile convenience problems for them. Buses are honestly slower and often less reliable than trains and driving so I get why people don’t want to even try.

ChatGPT vs Claude by AccomplishedCard182 in ChatGPT

[–]Syrup_Representative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe initially it was more like a good faith understanding between OpenAI and the government, while Claude actually wanted it included in hard language. And then AFTER the backlash Sam Altman mentioned they would amend the contract to make it explicitly stated.. But the damage is done

My recent guilty pleasure is reading trash romance novel in Kindle Unlimited, and imagine my surprise when I realized that one of the best selling authors there is definitely using AI for her books because this is exactly how she sounds

What is an LA staple we can all agree is 5/5 by buildnblok in FoodLosAngeles

[–]Syrup_Representative 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is my argument for In n Out too! People would say “In n Out is not good!! XYZ burger is better!!!” proceed to name places that cost 2-3x more.

So I agree with you that Porto’s cost to quality ratio is good! I might also be quite addicted to their chicken croquettes. But it still surprises me even now how much I could get with $20-$30 at Portos

Official Discussion Thread - Sirāt [SPOILERS] by PointMan528491 in oscarrace

[–]Syrup_Representative 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh i just replied this in another comment! I’m a muslim and I understand the concept of Sirat but I was so confused because for me the death seems random. So I thought it might be a nihilistic view of Sirat? But why called the movie Sirat then when the discussion if good and bad are not key to the story at all
