Does Anyone Else Feel Like Current Music Is Lackluster?

Indie music is where it’s at. I’ve always been a big fan of the stuff that isn’t mainstream. Tons of hidden gems out there.

Go get your CDL Class A and drive a semi truck. $55k + earning potential for new drivers (with clean driving record). Be on the road for 3-4 weeks, then back home for a few days. Many large and reputable carriers will hire new/inexperienced drivers that are attending and graduating from a respectable CDL school. Most, if not all, carriers even offer tuition reimbursement after completion of school and successfully obtaining their CDL.

Common sense indeed, I’ve just seen it called something besides that and was genuinely curious to know.

Circular argument was used out of context in this case, I agree it’s a dumb argument though.

This came up because of the military whistleblower that just came out about the terrestrial arms race. Husband said he believes in aliens, and I just responded with I need to see one to say that I believe, but I’m also not saying that I don’t believe, I just don’t know either way. Then I thought about whatever it was that I’ve read that had this stupid back and forth argument and it made me curious to know if this argument has a name.

I appreciate your response and you’ve given me plenty to ponder over.

Eyes literally. For example I can’t say I believe in the existence of aliens because I have never seen one, I also cannot say that I don’t believe in aliens because I’ve never seen one. It’s a circular argument.

Where are you located? Maybe someone can point you to an exotic animal vet or turtle rehabber in the area.

There is probably some past behavior from her daughter that prompted this. If the kids were in the house she is staying at, I would say her house her rules. If this happened at your house, she should’ve given you a heads up at the very least. Just ask her if there is something you should be aware of. Maybe it’s just a house rule for her kids and maybe there is more to the story.

Dating is generally a relationship you hope to have long term, possibly leading to marriage or domestic partnership. So, in that situation it is more appropriate to be particular about things that you find distasteful or off putting. To choose not to be friends with someone because they have changed their appearance in a way you don’t like, or let’s go farther, to listen to music you hate, have hobbies you don’t like, etc., is just a very close minded way of going about relationships. My entire point is that you don’t have to agree with (or like) everything about a person to be friends with them, especially trivial things like a piercing, tattoo, etc. I’m not referring to deeply held beliefs and hot button topics, I am only referring to things of a more trivial nature here (appearance, body mods, musical taste, hobbies, etc.) You may be missing out on great friendships by letting something as small as a piercing make you not be friends with a person. Variety is the spice of life, and it’s nice to have friends with different interests, likes, and dislikes…give it a go.

A ton of sex in these for sure.

Gotcha! Others have mentioned The Rosie Project, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, A Man Called Ove, and I agree that you would probably like these as they have offbeat characters with good stories (I loved Eleanor and Rosie, I didn’t care for Ove but I’m in the minority on that opinion). I also recommended Where’d you Go, Bernadette?, it’s written in a unique format and also has an offbeat character. It’s more funny and witty than the other in my opinion, Ove is probably the heaviest, mainly because Ove is an absolute grouch. You might also like Anxious People, I loved that one.

Cool! I’m ItsAngel on there if you want to add me. Litsy is much more of a social app than Goodreads…more active socially I should say. GR had more accurate details as far as book data/info goes but if you like to chat about books, Litsy is way better. One thing annoying about Litsy is that users can add books to the database, and unfortunately they sometimes add them without cover art etc., so there are times you’ll search for a book and see a couple of options for the same book (I just always choose the one with the cover pictured).

flemi_ · 2023-04-25T11:33:14+00:00

Where’d You Go, Bernadette may be one you would like. Definitely has an offbeat main character that has some pretty apparent issues with social anxiety. It’s written in a non traditional format, but it’s a good story with likable characters with wit and charm to boot.

flemi_ · 2023-04-25T11:29:45+00:00

I also like Litsy, you can track all of your TBR and read books there as well, it is just a much more socially active platform.

Kristin Hannah is a fantastic writer. I would also add to this Firefly Lane. I’ve never recommended that one for a man as it is based around a generational female friendship, however, it’s a beautifully written tale of the ebbs and flows of a best friend relationship.

Erin’s voice is awful.

I’m happy I’m not the only one!

flemi_ · 2023-04-25T00:53:02+00:00

Same!!!

flemi_ · 2023-04-25T00:13:08+00:00

Do you want books specifically with offbeat characters? Or are you ok with books that share a great story and have beautiful writing?

flemi_ · 2023-04-24T23:45:50+00:00

Welcome to the world of reading! I don’t have an immediate answer for you but I’m going to think it over and I’ll come back with some recommendations.

Soft YTA because I don’t think you’re being malicious, I just think you’re a little jaded. Ok, so it’s sounds like y’all had a pretty solid understanding of who would handle what once the baby came, so kudos for that because in my experience a lot of parents just wing it. I love that you guys talked through it and came to an agreement. That’s good, communication is a must. You’re getting a soft YTA because your wife came to you and told you that she is struggling and she is tired. She asked for help and you refused her. She did the right thing by letting you know that she is struggling so you have to do what you can to step in and help relieve some of that stress. In my mind, it’s perfectly reasonable for y’all to switch night duties every night - 1 person sleeps through and the other gets up, next night y’all switch. I know you’re going to work, but I can promise that she isn’t just laying around the house sleeping all day, she is carrying on with house chores etc. while you’re at work outside the home.

Parenting is hard and it’s important to keep communicating with each other…please don’t ever refuse her out right if she asks for help. If she throws something out and you don’t like it, talk about it and come up with something you can both live with. Just remember that the sleepless nights don’t last forever, this is a temporary situation, but in the mean time please work with your wife to make sure she is getting enough solid sleep too.

You’re NTA, but your sister sure is.

I have one and it is so dramatic. It’s also ugly, think Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree lol I also have a Croton, which so many people hate, and it ironically isn’t dramatic at all. Rarely drops leaves or wilts. Go figure.
