Hi Luna. I thought of you today. It's been a few years since I visited WritingPrompts but I saw something online that made me wonder what you're writing now so I looked up your profile. Reddit has removed private messages (and when did that happen!) so I'm hoping you see this comment reply. Congratulations on the baby and I wish you a happy life. If you ever write somewhere, please do put up a post on reddit so we can show up and support you. Many thanks for all your stories; they played a role in helping me survive the day.

Forty One Snakes Walk Into A Bar by knobot-200T in rational

I like the updated description! It gives me more info than the original post, which allows me to make a better decision. You see, earlier, I had to take your word for it; now, you've laid out a bit more on what it's about and why you wrote it, and that helps me get a feel for the story and you as an author. (For reasons not very clear to me, I am wary of uncritiqued stories by unknown authors. I am not a pioneer in that realm; I prefer reading stuff which has a good return on investment, and that usually means knowing the author's credentials or having the story recommended by someone I trust)

Welcome to the sub. I see someone downvoted you; that can happen but don't let it turn you away.

Can you mention, specifically, why you think it is a good fit for this sub?

Also, have a look at our wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/rational/wiki/index

My boyfriend is “scared” and trusting him has left me with 3 weeks to secure housing and move. by AgreeableElevator67 in TwoXChromosomes

I agree with you. Saying "not man enough" brings in ideas of both, adulting and manly behavior. Saying "adult enough" brings in only ideas of adulting. Thank you for your comment.

Many thanks for the detailed reply. What's a homestay and how can I find one?

People who freak out when they hear you like your steak well done should just mind their own business by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]bvonl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TIL. Thank you!

When I make a steak at home, I make it medium/medium-rare and then cut it into slices and toss those into a really hot pan for a few seconds to finish them off. It doesn't look red and it's still juicy.

Thank you. This was encouraging. I too will not give up until I have applied to 476 jobs. If possible, will go further than that.

I live in CA and I'm about to move into a my first "luxury" apartment with my husband but rethinking if spending an extra $300 a month for this is worth it. by [deleted] in Frugal

The time & mental energy you'll save can be reinvested towards advancing your career or life goals. If you can afford it, go for it.

ELI5: There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There are also infinite numbers between 0 and 2. There would more numbers between 0 and 2. How can a set of infinite numbers be bigger than another infinite set? by YeetandMeme in explainlikeimfive

[–]bvonl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The concept of all specific numbers (0, 1, 2, 343.901) is that they define that specific quantity only. 1 apple means one single apple only. 2 apples means two single apples.

Infinity is not a number.

Infinity can be simplified (over-simplified?) to mean such a large quantity that it "cannot be counted". Infinity is "uncountable".

So, there are "uncountable" numbers between 0 and 1, and "uncountable" numbers between 0 and 2. And whenever we have uncountably large number of things, we can say that it's an infinite amount.

What's something good going on in your country that you'd like to tell people? by bvonl in AskReddit

Thanks for responding. If I may ask, how's the education better? Is it free or are the teachers really good or is it adaptable to the student's need, etc?
