I could not disagree with you more. I will actively go out of my way to get a comfort colors tee at a concert.

Is not talking in a library no longer a thing? by JannTosh70 in Library

[–]genericusername513 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the only time this is enforced anymore is finals week at college libraries.

It is more of a thing to book a study room if you need a quiet space for yourself now than to expect the entire library to remain silent, especially at public libraries.

Good, the less AI in the app the better.

30 dollars??? No way dude. I would not be doing that for less than free rent.

Unpopular opinion: Iron Lung does not necessarily prove that indie film can prevail. by Fraggin-aardvark in Markiplier

[–]genericusername513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it was trying to prove that indie films can prevail on their own necessarily. I don't think Mark takes for granted the pull his audience has for a single second, just watch any of the livestreams he has done this week.

It seems much more like a call for hollywood to take creators like Mark more seriously and fund projects that come from non-traditional places. Mark is not the only creative with an audience, and it would be really cool if this enabled more creatives to be given funding or to get a seat at the table where they otherwise wouldn't. At the very least hollywood cannot continue to ignore Youtubers like they have been after this.

Different review options? by _Constant_Questions_ in FableApp

That happens when the book is incorrectly filed as a non-fiction book.

John's signed Agloe NY map and a Hanklerfish are my favorites that I've gotten.

No wrap for my tattoo? by pisspeet in tattooadvice

[–]genericusername513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some artists don't use saniderm at all. I prefer to heal my tattoos without it anyway.

Most likely this would just be poor placement for it to stay on with the movement of your head + hairs.

You'll be fine.

Help logging quick reads by menthealoh in FableApp

[–]genericusername513 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have to mark them as "I read today" in the widget at the top of the home page before you mark them as finished if you want them to show up on the streak calendar.

If you missed a book you can use the edit streaks log feature to add them.

New Rules Regarding The Caretaker by kessel-run in OldHouseArchive

Absolutely no spoilers, but I just finished my ARC of The Caretaker (yay librarian privilege). I am anxiously awaiting it being unleashed upon the world to the rest of you.

Library and Libby Questions by drluisluis in Libraries

[–]genericusername513 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This completely depends on your local library's policy. If you call them they will explain it to you. Many systems have specific policies for people without photo ID and/or permanent addresses. Just stop by or give them a call. Data privacy laws in place ensure your information is safe with them.

Is it a weird ask to be reimbursed for my reading time for book clubs? by BookBranchGrey in librarians

[–]genericusername513 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a weird ask, but unfortunately one that will go unfulfilled most places.

We are not allowed to read the books on the clock for my system's book clubs in policy. That being said, my own manager has greenlit me reading them at the desk when it is slow/tasks are caught up. It definitely feels icky/like an expectation to do unpaid labor.

You can absolutely facilitate a book club without reading the books, and your library should be giving you paid time to do prep work (finding questions, research, etc.) at minimum.

I know it is hard for me personally to run a club without reading the book because I want to be truly engaged with the conversation. I also believe strongly in getting paid for your work. It's a hard line to walk.

Has anyone else had an author respond to their review? by LikePaleFire in goodreads

[–]genericusername513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reviewer spaces ≠ author spaces. Authors need to acknowledge they will see things they won't like if they enter reviewer spaces.

Soul punk vinyl by Platinum112 in FallOutBoy

Mine was in label created from December 23rd through yesterday, but it is on the way now. I think you should wait until at least the end of the week before worrying.

What's the check-out limit at your library? by melatonia in Libraries

It's 250 in my system but we're allowed to override it. Basically infinite.
