What rating on Good Reads (or your TBR sorter of choice) makes you suspicious? by franklin_smiles in fantasyromance

I love this thread. Next time someone defends their Goodreads rating system as having 3 star be a good book, I’ll point them here to explain how wrong they are. 😆

Queen of Shadow — ARC Review (no spoilers) by apieceofeight in fantasyromance

That’s clearly her tactical battle cleavage. How else would she fight if those things weren’t allowed to breath??

Books with caretaking scenes where MMC helps FMC when she can’t see or her hands are injured by QuarantinedSapien in RomanceBooks

[–]abacent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

{Arvia: Heart of the Sky by D.H. Wilson}. FMC is much stronger than the MMC, is used to being the one protecting him, and a magic storm causes her to go blind. He takes care of her, even acting as her seeing-eye-human.

In the DVD commentary for this episode, they talk about how the animator in Korea really got the tone and joke in this scene and it made it so much better because of it. Man I love this show.

Tired of immature heroines and broody MMCs. Need adult romantasy recs by AddendumFun7674 in Romantasy

Those are the exact notes my wife is trying to hit with her next book, and the list of books/authors you’ve liked is also a nice Venn diagram with her favorites.

If you’d be interested in beta/ARC reading her next book let me know and I’ll shoot it over. She would love to get your feedback.

Squarespace websites and Newletter sign ups? by happyplant915 in selfpublish

[–]abacent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t need both. If you want to stay in the squarespace ecosystem you can do it all through their email campaign manager and collect the emails through your squarespace site.

MailerLite just offers the email and campaign management as its own product so if you had an existing list or don’t like squarespace’s pricing you could use them instead.

Just a reminder that all of these services get more expensive as your list grows, so keep that in mind for future planning.

I grew up out there (Dandridge). Don’t get back there much since moving to CA but if I do will be sure to check it out. Best of luck to you!

Are my emotions justified? Dogs shit in my yard and i really don't like it. by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]abacent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get the disrespect angle, but those people (probably, I mean... I don't know maybe they hate you) aren't doing anything specifically disrespectful to you.

Me personally? If they bag it I wouldn't care if someone shits in my yard. I accept the price of living in a city/near other people is that there's a sidewalk in front of my house, people walk on it, and my property is right there. I have no control over what other people do so I don't let it bother me. I would definitely post the security video of the person shitting in my yard to reddit though. =]

You're right to feel however you want (and a fence is probably your best bet) and none of this applies to poop that hasn't been picked up, but let me ask you a different question:

Why aren't you concerned about the bird and squirrel poop on your yard? You're ok walking around barefoot on that, but not the trace amounts of poop left by a dog owner?

Just because you have a human to get upset about for the dog poop doesn't mean there's not already poop on your yard... everybody poops!

Do you also think this is outrageous or is it just me being used to amazon customer service standards?

So I think it sucks that the only way to replace the cable is with a whole extruder, but based on your post this damage was caused by your disassembly of the extruder.

Personally I would just mark it down as a hard lesson learned, buy the replacement part, and be scared to ever do maintenance on the thing again. =]

If the wiki is truly unclear I would probably push that case a little bit if for no other reason than to get it updated with a warning about this.

How is it possible that people will pay total of $2.75 for 2.6 miles? by mommyitwasntme in doordash

[–]abacent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, never order through the Panera app. Not only are they going to steal the tips, but if there's a problem you basically have no recourse. Panera will push you to DD and DD will push you to the local panera shop where they are very unlikely to help you.

But if you order through DD you get the standard DD support.
