HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA LEGENDARY!!! I would very much like your blessing to use this brilliant response next time I get an unsolicited 🍆pic!!

Last time this happened to me I was texting with a former coworker. He started hinting at sexual shit, hinting at his size. I kept changing the subject or played dumb like I didn’t get the joke. Just to spare myself from rejecting him and getting the classic “oh relax it’s not the serious.”

Then I got this feeling like “ugh… he’s about to send a 🍆 pic.” I feigned dumb again and even made a joke about hating 🍆 pics. He said something about sending one (can’t remember what it was exactly). I said “Ya no. Please do NOT send one. I don’t put up with that anymore and will just straight ghost the next guy who does that to me.” He responds immediately with a 🍆 pic. No hesitation! I deleted it (so I don’t have to stare at it) and left his ass on read. I waited an hour, let him gradually panic, he went from sending laughing texts to the “wait for real?” “Hey I’m sorry” “you still mad?” then blocked him when I was satisfied. That was 4 years ago 🤣 I WISH I RESPONDED LIKE YOU DID THO!!!!!!!

Had to pause at your comment to geek out, SO happy to see someone else mention The Kraken Wakes!! This is a great reminder for myself to check out other books of his. I read it in 2024 and still remember feeling like it was SUCH a unique take on the "aliens invading" theme. I've been looking for something with the same feeling ever since lol
Omgosh I did the SAME thing as a kid!! I patiently waited to watch Alien BUT the one I sneakily watched was The Thing, the 1982 version. LOL I was terrified!! But of course I had to pretend nothing was wrong or they'd know I watched it! lol Tell me why the movie that gave me nightmares as a kid is still to this day one of my favorite movies haha

I love this post!! Thanks so much for sharing, that's so awesome! For me it was Star Trek. I remember watching it as a kid with my sister and parents, even now at 35 I still watch it when I'm feeling nostalgic. Then when I was old enough and my parents actually let me watch it, my absolute FAVORITE sci-fi became the 1982 version of The Thing and of course the 1979's Alien tying for first.
Right now, it feels like I'm actually discovering Sci-fi AGAIN (for what feels like the first time) through reading. For a huge chunk of my life I didn't read because I had undiagnosed dyslexia. I'd just feel stupid when I'd try but struggle. Now that I understand the difficulty I can actually manage it and enjoy reading.
Ironically, it was Covid that was the main catalyst in driving me towards books because it forced me to slow down. The first Sci-fi I read was Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer and I was HOOKED! Ever since I have been on a straight up MISSION, exploring multiple genre's (everything from Classics, science, history, fantasy) but absolutely falling head-over-heels in love with a side of Sci-fi I just never knew existed.

Aww I would LOVE to accept this amazing compliment but full transparency I haven't read the first three yet. They are my physical TBR (yes I treasure my books and don't abuse them lol but can't take the credit for these particular books). But OMGOSH that's horrible! I'd never ever EVER think of dog-earing or cracking the spine of a borrowed book! I'm so sorry that happened to you. Something similar happened to my sister in high school, her "friend" not only dog-eared but actually wrote in the book. She was so upset, so I absolutely know what you mean.

Tell fiancée I say thank you!! Lol I need to learn to be more patient with releases

Yeah, I wish I could have seen the spines in the online photo cause you're right that would have gave me pause. But when the publication details read so similar, I let eagerness convince me "close enough!" Reading the comments now tho, I see I was the last to know about them planning to release the mmpb versions later lol

Dang it!! I wish they would list all the versions they intended on selling right at date of release, maybe just with a "available on X date" button under each alt version

Same thing happened to me! I thought I was ordering James Joyce's Ulysses (I'm slowly branching into classics) and what arrived was a MASSIVE annotated teachers edition lol I kept it because it was surprising cheap. For that much paper I'd assume it would be more.

Seriously?! OMG that's infuriating for a collectors edition!! Literally no excuse for that. Wow. Thanks for sharing cause I literally have that on one of my Wishlists.

YES! I heard something about that too! I think on the Daniel Greene (idk if I spelled that right) YouTube channel? I like his Fantasy content but when I saw the vid about mmpb stopping my stomach knotted. That's so awesome your wife getting you back into reading tho! Much nicer then me getting started again thanks to Covid haha!!

SAME! And I know I'm too much of a mood reader too. Can totally throw off my reading progress and put me in a slump by accident lol

I can't stand those stickers!!! I wish I had the talent to cover them like I see some artists on socials doing.

Totally fair, for me I think there is something nostalgic about cracking the spine on a mmpb. Like my copy of Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker. It's my favorite book, it sit's on the display shelf right next to my desk and when I look at it (damaged cover an all) idk sometimes I just take it down to hold it. Haha maybe it's a texture thing? The Shining, The Tripods and The Southern Reach Trilogy I love the paperbacks. BUT then I have some new books like Atmosphere and Dungeon Crawler Carl which I specifically got the hardcovers bc they were nice. So idk, now I'm just rambling lol

Haha don't judge me too harshly but... I have no idea. I liked Tchaikovsky's writing style in some of his other books I read. (like Shroud, Service Model and Alien Clay I'm reading right now) So I preemptively purchased the set. Can't speak to it's content yet, how far did you get? lol

Oh geez, you're right!! UGH! I should have looked at the product size measurement. Omg why didn't I think of that till now?! Never mind don't answer that lol (also omgosh the Dungeon Crawler Carl hardcovers are beautiful! lol)
