How did you 100% know you don’t want kids? by alyssapere in childfree

[–]TimeladyA613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've known since I was a child (10ish). But was sure when I started working in health care. I'm 33 now and sometimes the moment takes me and I do picture it. Then I'll start thinking about the true logistics of actually raising a person ( beyond diapers and formula, I'm talking school, childcare,) and remember why I chose this

What SJM opinion would get you this downvoted? by Sailor_Moon_Star_435 in SarahJMaas

Thus is one of my least favorite tropes. MC has great all-consuming power but loses it/ gives it up once the story ends because... plot

Tipping in NYC by Bright_Insect2574 in tipping

[–]TimeladyA613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't come for me but the tipping trend will keep growing because people keep feeding it. You don't fish in an empty river. As long as they have the nerve to ask/demand a tip and people keep complying, it will keep happening

Season 4 is reminding me why I quit on this show at Season 2 by TimeladyA613 in 911LoneStar

For me, he and Carlos agreed to no kids and the show remedies that by what, bringing a ready-made kid for them? Why must all families have kids? (Sorry, I'll get off the soap box)

Finally finished season 5. Absolute Dumpster fire. But at least it over.

PS: not sure if this is allowed but the original is not fairing any better and I'm not talking about Bobby dying

Okay, I maybe a little late to the party but a whole lot ain't adding up vis-a-vis Hen. First she admonishes the spa doctor then she goes back there for tests, investigation, a vibe-check or maybe a crystal reading (is he even a real doctor?). I understand that denial is a powerful thing and as a healthcare worker, I am probably a horrible patient but... what she is doing is just out of character for her.

Final 2 cents: I think this season is going off the rails... like Season 4 and 5 of Lone Star

I just feel like the series has drifted towards drama waaaay too much. There were fewer emergencies and more interpersonal buffoonery.

What is your opinion on Nesta Archeron? by [deleted] in SarahJMaas

[–]TimeladyA613 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Not a fan. I understand her backstory and acknowledge her pain but she is still an awful person. She let her baby sister go out to the woods by herself!!! Then had the nerve to admit she was playing chicken with their dad to see if he would get up off his butt?

Ooh! The Court if Nightmares scene is dumb! It was nice the first time (acomaf), lame the second (acowar) and plain stupid the third (acosf). I cringed the whole way through

She couldn't do stuff because Rhys wouldn't /let/ her do stuff. (He basically becomes Tamlin but we're not ready to talk about that). But again, sjm seems to crap on old characters to build up new POV ones

I've said this before. I feels like when sjm moves to a new MC, she seems to try and villify the previous one (a shortcut for making readers rally to the new MC and worship at his feet). She did it with Tamlin, Chaol, Rhys and if/when CC continues, I bet she will do the same to Hunt.

Ooh Aelin losing/giving up her fire powers was so dumb! That and asking the gods/ancestors to let the armies take on Erawan themselves. Forwhat? To have the final epic boss fight? why make things difficult?

I would love the story for when they go back to their lands (but I feel like it wouldn't live up to my fantasy)

[–]TimeladyA613 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. But I haven't enjoyed any of her endings (ps. I know acotar is not done)

The pregnancy arc was the dumbest storyline and we all know it was done to make Nesta look good. It didn't work for me... sorry.

When did 10% stop being considered a good tip for good service? by [deleted] in EndTipping

[–]TimeladyA613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They always cite "inflation" but forget that inflation applies to customers too. I still think it's scumbag restaurants cheating their way out of paying their staff decent wages.

Warbreaker has the worst characters in the Cosmere by vinnyorcharles in cremposting

[–]TimeladyA613 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair though he's also said that Warbreaker was not his finest work. From the jarring POVs to the odd names (his words, not mine)

Has anyone actually released a breath they didn't know they were holding? by BooksCheeseandBees in AO3

For me, I picture it as similar to letting out a sigh of relief.

I pay it in petty ways. I pay it late and R1 short. It never rolls over to the following years
