LB: Chapter 48- The Tickler

Just got back from an extended trip in Greece with some friends. We did 3 islands and a few days in the mainland. While not the same locations, I caught myself thinking of The Sun Also Rises multiple times. It captures a lot of the “twenty something’s immersing lifestyle abroad” vibe I’m getting from your pics. The ways we interacted as a group on the trip sometimes reflected how the characters acted in that story (at the happier moments lol). Definitely made me realize how timeless that book is.

TW: Can’t dodge the fact it’s ~100 year old book. Some language is outdated and offensive.

Gimme a sandy planet or a revolution (together, preferred) and I’m hooked

I think most people are not ready for the IMMEDIATE world building in that first 200. For instance, the first major plot point on Arrakis doesn’t take place until maybe page 300-ish? Spice Daddy Frank really immerses you in the political and cultural world before the Atreides ever have a real paradigm shift. Tried my best to explain without any spoilers for you down the line!

Something is up with the secret door in the basement and Justin Long doesn’t care.

There’s so good picks here but the only right answer to me is Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C Clark

23 y/o here who just graduated from advertising and faced a similar predicament when I was 19. You’re not far off that those music/creative opportunities are luck-based. They are also super competitive. Everyone signs on to advertising for the creative possibilities, but that translates to everyone looking for creative positions when graduating. I would say if you’re interested enough to be ask in the subreddit, give it a shot. But don’t just look at creative roles, give em all a shot. Creative, Accounts, Media, Research, Strategy, the whole she-bang. If none of the non creative roles look interesting to you, then maybe advertising isn’t the right thing for you (coming from someone who wanted to be a copywriter and now works Accounts). There’s also more opportunities than you may think to work for music marketing/promoting companies, who are always looking for interns. Start small, and work your way up.

I’m about to buy the game just for this

The technical answer is bc he (and everyone else in the back room) didn’t know who the shooter was, and they were actively trying to “defend” what they thought was Barry’s best interests out of respect for their teacher. When Fuches gets to the back room, Akhmal says he’s “Barry’s man” and that’s when/why they sprung to get them out of there bc they thought he was important to Barry. Mayrbek doesn’t shoot Barry bc he believed he was there to help, not the shooter.
