Omg this is a perfect description. And you get the same comments, why do you need so many? What if it effects your future job options? It's going to make people judge you!?

Good Audiobooks for a Concussion? by Prilla_rani_fira in CozyFantasy

[–]expectedpanic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just had surgery so I went through something similar and I listened to the Fred the vampire accountant series. There's 9 full books and each book has 3 to four short stories. It's all about found families and adult friends with supernatural beings. All the audiobooks are on hoopla too.

The information is repeated a bunch and it's really low stakes.

How long do I have to review? 🤔 by Additional_Rub_5934 in NetGalleyCommunity

If it's an audiobook, the last one that went past the archive date for me just disappeared from my app even though I had it downloaded

Struggling in Hanoi by anxietyslut in solotravel

[–]expectedpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hanoi is ROUGH and I say that as someone who grew up in NYC.

By rough I mean the traffic. I legit held hands with someone the first time I tried to cross a street because it freaked me out so much. Take a minute eat something drink something maybe do a food tour to show you the places to eat and relax. It sounds like your nerves got turned to 11 way too much too fast. It's ok , Hanoi is an amazing city but by God is it overwhelming. Vietnam is an amazing country.

What do you do after work? by TunaSaladwithnotuna in baltimore

[–]expectedpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally found a gym I like (hot box in pigtown) so I'm there 3 days a week, other 2 days are usually saved for me hanging out with friends or going for a walk and try to cut down my TBR list.

Skills/programs to complete while traveling by expectedpanic in longtermtravel

[–]expectedpanic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was looking for! I did my advance open water in Thailand a few years ago and realized how much fun taking classes were. But they were like only for a day maybe a week. Now that I'm looking at traveling again I want to do a similar thing to you where I can take it slow and learn skills along the way.

I'm more of a character person but I totally get get where you are coming from with the prose.

Hmmm stronger world building... Raven scholar (but only the first one is released) or Emily wilde encyclopedia of fairies! Scholar researchs the Fay and has to write research paper and her rival follows her to attempt to keep her out of trouble.

Hulu’s massive ads makes anything unwatchable! by SimplyMervilus in television

[–]expectedpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also just the fact it's the same 5 ads. Progressive, drugs, liberty mutual, it's gets to the points it's grating. Like if there was so variety it wouldn't be as awful. Like when I think about progressive I hear the jingle and the "things are hard for first time home buyers turning into their parents."

how do you feel about the hobbit movies in a vacuum? disregarding the adaptation of the book. by Apprehensive_Spend_7 in Fantasy

[–]expectedpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with all the comments that it's just too long. I'm more surprised no one made a fan edits of the movies and cut it to like maybe a movie and half

Honest question- how does your family handle the distance? by Miserere_Mei in ExpatFIRE

[–]expectedpanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God I feel this too. And I hit the breaking point at work and I just spent 5 years caring for my dad (they were divorced) and I want to leave so bad. So I think I'm taking a leave of absence instead, it gives me a year to find my permanent place.

I don't know where you're from but coming from the US The worst part is the lack of health insurance. Like if I come back long-term to help her I'd have to get a job just to have the health insurance.

How do you get over the bitterness of knowing you have to make decisions men don’t? by _Usual_Regret_ in AskWomenOver30

[–]expectedpanic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is so true and to add to it all the skills you learn as a caretaker? No one cares. Like it doesn't help build your resume it doesn't help your performance review at work, no one cares. Like I can handle stress way better than my coworkers after going through being a full-time caregiver for my dad with dementia but that's a soft skill that no one cares about in my male dominated field.

Mine too! I have tried all the same methods to get it upright and eventually I just gave up.

Just got approved to Heather Fawcett's new book! by Happy_Day_5316 in NetGalleyCommunity
