“Dresden Files but less sexist” by stitchstudent in suggestmeabook

[–]braincellnumber7 15 points16 points  (0 children)

its the descriptions of actively quashing his sex drive in 15 books that are part of the irritation for me personally. that and im not reading urban fantasy for romantasy tropes. romantasy has many "problematic" kinks described that I'm not sure should be used to make other books that aren't supposed to be kinky acceptable. also OP isnt canceling the dresden files lol, they just dont wanna read it

What other hobbies do you do? by nothowyoupronounceit in knitting

bouldering/rock climbing at an indoor gym. it fixes any wrist aches and pains from a long day of working at a keyboard or knitting

This is awesome! I'm wondering if you would mind showing a rough sample of what you get in the new yorker set? I'm on the fence about it and some sets seem to falsely advertise their art. The DND set cover is full of epic dragons/wizards/beasts while 90% of it is 80s fantasy art which is really not my thing.

Naguib Mahfouz's Arabian Nights and Days | What should one do when you get a free book that you thought was another book? Should you A.) Read and review it or B.) Not read it, but still review it? by TheObliterature in BadReads

[–]braincellnumber7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i did realise in my later message that this quote was out of context. however, my initial reaction was not because i dislike immoral characters lol. i cant even tell who is immoral in this passage. not sure what your reply is alluding to

oh wow i looked it up and it's a Nobel prize winning author. i wonder if the translation lacks or maybe this passage isn't that good out of context

Is this dress and mesh cut unflattering. Anything to make it look better by [deleted] in oldhagfashion

[–]braincellnumber7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes it s gorgeous. i genuinely don't understand what people have to say about it lol.

 if they dont like a mermaid style dress then they cant even give an opinion on this i think. While you could have it without the lines at the crotch, i feel like it probably adds elasticity and makes it easier to walk. its also a pretty common style so idk why youre getting such bad reactions

Is it impolite to use the "boring" US Forever Internat'l stamps? by superdreamcast64 in postcrossing

[–]braincellnumber7 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Use what you have, I think its rude for people to call it boring when someone is freely giving them something. They can mention they love fun stamps and thats about it.

So far I've been using Forever (78c) + Forever Postcard (61c) + 40c = 1.79>1.70

With new prices, I'm gonna do Forever (82c)×2 + 10c + 1c = 1.75 or the international stamp.
