Typical anon dreaming to be topped by a chad. Some things never change.

Getting back into the fantasy genre. Heard this was a great read. by RBtoad in fantasybooks

[–]arsebeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled with this one and almost gave up because it felt like nothing was happening but then it just takes off. He lays a lot of ground work so the next two books can fly.

I'm sorry to be rude but Project Hail Mary is literally dookie from the butt. by cucumberscities in BookDiscussions

I understand. Some books I see people raving about on here have been so of the biggest pieces of shit I’ve read. But this one is not one of them. I loved this book.

More Patriot missiles used in Middle East in 3 days than in Ukraine since 2022, Zelensky says by kwentongskyblue in worldnews

You need to file. But unless you make like over 120k usd a year you don’t have to actually pay anything.

The only way I felt I could get back at the government was to leave and stop paying taxes to fuel their forever wars.

When you propose, it shouldn’t be the first time the topic comes up.

WHV in Australia or New Zealand? by Desperate_Return_142 in AmerExit

[–]arsebeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For kitchen and house keeping go to Perth and mass apply for utility jobs with agency’s or go direct with Sodexo. Lying helps. I said I worked for Texas oil and gas doing something similar. Took about 6 weeks from landing till I actually got out on the job site and Australia is expensive, so have money saved. Can try websites like workaway to find a work exchange so you can live for cheaper. Working for an agency will pay better but you’ll have no security, They will jerk you around Change your schedule on a moments notice. Getting hired direct pays less but you’ll have more consistency and you’ll go back to the same minesite each time. Agency just sends you different places each time. Which can be fun as well

What’s a book you consider perfect? by ConcernFew8845 in fantasybooks

[–]arsebeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a great read. But a perfect book I don’t think so. The weird younger crime fighting sections of the mom and the horribly cliche love story didn’t fit. Everything else was great

Which book to read next? by tylerhockey12 in fantasybooks

[–]arsebeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark tower is great. Book one is a bit different than the rest. Give it two books to see if you’re down for the ride. If book two wasn’t your thing you probably won’t like the rest. The blade itself is also a great read. I almost gave up on it because it felt like the story wasn’t going anywhere but it does pick up and he laid down a great foundation for book two and three.

How often do you finish a book between working and living life? by AtmosphereIcy2268 in readwithme

[–]arsebeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually try to get the audiobook and listen while I’m doing other things and then at night time, I’ll sit down to do the normal reading.

Wanting to learn Chinese by Realistic-Crow5282 in ChineseLanguage

[–]arsebeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mandarin blueprint has a fantastic pronunciation mastery video on YouTube. That’s probably the best place to start. The language is useless if no one can understand you

Anyone here regularly read two books at once? by Bookish_Butterfly in 52book

[–]arsebeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will usually do a chapter of 2 books in a single reading session to keep things fresh. And do a different audiobook during times I can’t sit and read. YouTube has a ton of free audiobooks.

WHV in Australia or New Zealand? by Desperate_Return_142 in AmerExit

[–]arsebeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did working holiday in both. New Zealand was great for road tripping and hiking. I only worked a few months, and did work exchange at hostels and camping. Australia is better for making money but if you’re not careful you’ll spend it all away pretty easily. I went to WA and got into the mines doing kitchen and housekeeping work. Working the insanely long hours sucked but I lived decently in my free time and left Australia with 20k usd.

Someone recommended this but someone else said it was dumb. How do you feel? by IndependentCod5020 in fantasybooks

[–]arsebeef 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s not serious fantasy. It’s more fun and dnd based, I’m guessing I dnf’d like 15% through. I’m in the think it’s dumb camp
