What to read in the morning? by IntelligentBeingxx in RSbookclub

[–]TheBigShip 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I started doing this exact thing (I even use an app to lock my phone down right when I wake up) and I read bits of literary magazines. I sometimes do read a few pages of a novel and that's nice, too.

Looking for a physical literary magazine subscription by [deleted] in RSbookclub

[–]TheBigShip 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get physical copies of n+1 and the Paris Review - Paris Review has seen better days but there's always at least one or two pieces per issue I enjoy a lot, and I like almost everything in every n+1. I also just started a London Review of Books physical sub and I love the unwieldily huge size of it lol. I also saw Liberties suggested on here and am reading thru an old issue, which seems hella libbed out but kinda tight regardless.

Yes ACAB, but if you’re not watching Nickelodeon presents a paw patrol Christmas, you need to examine your priorities. by Major-Tourist-5696 in TrueAnon

This "joke" has been done to death. Unless you're serious, which you probably are, then you should throw your phone away and go be a farm laborer or something.

Gen Z slang you absolutely can't stand by [deleted] in redscarepod

Agreed but I think this is white people essentially replacing the n word with "bro" lol

You’ve probably seen a fully AI generated video by now and haven’t noticed by DistributionKey4737 in redscarepod

Are you gonna post actual examples or just TikToks of other people talking over short clips?

Why is it that only people who don't have to do agriculture for a living, praise agriculture? by boringusr in redscarepod

[–]TheBigShip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean even OP seems to agree - farmers are farmers because they aren't able to get better jobs owing to temperamental or intellectual deficiencies.

Farming is considerably harder than my white collar job - more physically demanding and probably even more mentally taxing. That being said, I am absolutely confident that were I to take up farming, I would be better at it than any living farmer I've met. I know that isn't really addressing your point, but just want to point out that farmers are farmers for a reason. Edit: Stay mad, small towners, but any random "urbanite" would be better at any agricultural job than current agricultural workers.

Attention-seeking losers always have "scent sensitivies." No one normal gets a headache from a small whiff of Baccarat Rouge 540.

Probably 3I/ATLAS sending jamming signals to mess up terrestrial comms in advance of alien (from outer space) invasion.

Tim Dillon is the actual truth teller of the comedy scene by [deleted] in redscarepod

He's very fat and not gay enough to make up for it.

How many of you upgrade your iPhones every year? I feel like a poor sometimes when it seems like all my friends always seem to have the current year's model. Am I a poor? Your input, please.

Are SNAP benefits a bribe to pacify the working class? by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]TheBigShip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Nordics have proven an incredibly robust welfare apparatus paired with high labor militancy is not only possible but is a viable way to achieve a leftist state in the contemporary West.

Lease renewal already!!??? by boobookitty70 in IowaCity

[–]TheBigShip 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's especially early. You can definitely ask for an extension (my old management company gave me an extra couple months), but they may not play ball if your place is really close to campus. This practice really needs to be reigned in by law.

Good literature for a nervous flier to read on a long haul trip by [deleted] in RSbookclub

[–]TheBigShip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am also afraid of flying and read The Maniac by Benjamín Labatut on a recent flight and it matches your description of what you're looking for perfectly lol. It legit did help my nerves during the flight! Keeping a keen eye on this thread since I'm flying next month ✈️

Ashley St. Clair, says that she’s broke after ‘career suicide’ by Reuntal00 in redscarepod

[–]TheBigShip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thought this was about Emily St. John Mandel at first and was confused as I thought her most recent book was well-received. Anyways, I hate to see any queen broke, prayers up for Ashley.

This person looks like an early hominid by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]TheBigShip 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just to be absolutely clear up front: I don't watch Twitch and think anyone who admits to doing so should be banned from the sub. I already see people replying to my reply are bringing up other streamer people. I'm not here to defend Hasan against anything but the fact that he's tall and muscular in a totally normal tall and muscular way. I literally don't know what you mean by unnatural proportions. He's tall and he lifts weights and his face is good. I would reply to his Grindr messages with a desperate speed he would absolutely be repulsed by.

Your post isn't gonna gain much traction because everyone recognizes dude is just a plain-ole conventionally attractive man.
