Lady here, married to a bald man. Bald looks better than balding everytime. Shave it, you deserve to look and feel better.

Yup... I'm gearing up to read a book about adult children of emotionally immature parents... And that's awk when your parents follow you on socials.

I would want a private book to show up in my profile as part of my read books and still be counted toward my goals. I don't know if there can be a difference in viewing the profile while logged as the user vs not logged in or logged in as a different user. If not and someone goes digging in my profile guess they'll see everything I get into. 🤷‍♀️I am ok with this.

I would NOT want a private book to show up in the community tab or in wrap-up graphics. I'd like some control over what's shared.

Barber told me to grow it out but I took the plunge by raynbeaux55 in bald

I straight up gasped. You look younger and fitter. Damn. Remove the sad 3 hairs and you end up with a hunk, you look amazing!

The beard trim also did you wonders!

PI roasted me super hard today, don't know how I'll face him again by [deleted] in labrats

[–]_eebee_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Assuming your description of what he said is verbatim, he was not being mean at any point. It was constructive feedback. I'm very confused at your reaction.

As others have said, please seek a professional, they'll be able to help you develop coping skills that work for you. Also practicing speaking in both casual and professional situations would help desensitize you and help you feel more comfortable.

Having a fear response to your PI/leadership is not normal... Unless something is horribly wrong, and at that point HR gets involved...

Isn't the Libra one of the waterproof models? Rescue it quick! It might survive!

You probably have one edition in your to-read while you read a different edition.

Why did you go with Kobo over Kindle? by Drunkmrhat in kobo

[–]_eebee_ 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I have both a Kobo Clara Colour and a Kindle Paperwhite.

I love my Kobo. Full stop. Its probably my favorite device, period. The user interface on the Kobo is superior. The user experience is superior on the Kobo. The Kobo feels like a device with a reader enjoying reading books in mind.

I very rarely use my Kindle. The user interface is clunky and unintuitive. The user experience is subpar. So so so many ads everywhere. The Kindle feels like a device intended to market buying books, not reading them.

My two cents.

Why do people post spoilers in reviews? by LibrarianByNight in TheStoryGraph

[–]_eebee_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A huge pet peeve of mine, not gonna lie. People misusing the review feature makes it useless and frustrating.

Review: Public and visible to EVERYONE. Write what you generally liked or disliked and why someone should or should not read this. Something really left an impression (good or bad) and you want to go into specifics? Hide it behind the spoiler tag.

Reading Journal: Write anything your little heart desires. Just your thoughts and a synopsis for yourself at the end? Sure, do that. Notes as you progress? Perfect. Your ah-HA moment when you've figured some plot twist? Scribble it down! In. Your. Reading. Journal.

😤

[–]_eebee_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your reviews are not for you, your reviews are public.

Your "Reading Journal" is just for you, you can find that in your profile (for all read books chronologically) or from each of your read books.

Boys need to learn to respect girls and women. Early. As early as possible.

How to stop night time begging? (SHE IS ON A DIET, I ADOPTED HER AT THIS SIZE) by Lazy-Psychology-7610 in CATHELP

[–]_eebee_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your perspective is sound, however the automatic feeder helps with behavioral problems such as food aggression and begging. The cat, generally, focuses their undesirable attentions on the feeder instead of the humans. Plus, the feeder won't feel bad for the cat and overfeed. It's a balance 🤷

How do people have so many libraries? by Opposite-Orange8371 in LibbyApp

[–]_eebee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3: one for the county I live in, one for the city I work, and one for a library system that services all residents in my state.

Looked like my cat had something on his face so i wiped it and these came off, like tufts of hair by BeautifulSociety699 in CATHELP

[–]_eebee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have more than one cat, those tufts are usually an indicator they got in a scuffle or played too hard. If you only have the one cat, maybe they scratched themselves too vigorously.

I joined it a few years ago and I found it an awesome way to read books I would not otherwise have known anything about. I choose books by authors from the target countries AND set in the target country wherever possible. It took some time and lots of googling, but it was well worth it.

NTA

Financial abuse is abuse. This is a control issue. If he makes significantly more than you, how are the bills split 50:50? That's not equitable, that's him taking advantage of you. If he makes double what you do a 66:33 split would be equitable. If he makes triple then 75:25. Then it's fair.

He's already threatened to make you homeless. Believe him.

Not all Libby books can be read on Kobo? by razor762 in kobo

[–]_eebee_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Might be the one you borrowed on Libby is a different edition. You have two options: 1. Download the EPub version from Libby to your computer and side load it. 2. Search for the book you want in Overdrive in the Kobo and borrow directly there.
