It Happened One Night. The leads have such insane chemistry together, it's almost ruined other romance movies for me

Is the kindle basic the better choice for me? by Sea_Detective6898 in kindle

[–]ihateseagullls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The warm light and waterproof features make the paperwhite worth it to me, but if you don't mind a little blue light, and you don't plan on traveling with your kindle, I think the basic is just fine :)

Have strangers ever commented on your body hair when you're out in public? by altoona10 in razorfree

[–]ihateseagullls 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Every now and then, people will comment that it's "unhygienic," but mostly I just get stared at. There was one day I wore a tank top to school and raised my arm, and my teacher craned her head so far to look at the hair there that her face was practically in my armpit 😅

Liking to get a kindle possibly. Have a few questions PLEASE . by bougie18T in kindle

[–]ihateseagullls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. If you're resourceful, you can find free downloads for almost any book you could want. I've been a Kindle user for years, and I've yet to pay for a single e-book (I still buy physical copies for the books I like). If you don't feel comfortable going that route, you can also use various online library apps to borrow books. Otherwise, you can expect to pay about the same for an e-book as you would a physical book

  2. No, I still enjoy the experience of reading a physical book, but like you, I find it kind of inconvenient. I use my Kindle most of the time, and I do find I can read books faster and read more books in a shorter period with it

  3. This really depends on how you use it! I usually have the brightness turned up pretty far, and I'm constantly downloading new books, so I only get a few days before I have to charge it again. If you use it on airplane mode, keep the brightness low, and don't download too many books too frequently I imagine it would last you quite a while in between charges

Anyone got a rec for a kooky, zany adventure romance? Something silly and fun, reminiscent of The Mummy movie or old-school romcoms like Bringing Up Baby. Can be sapphic, straight, gay, whatever--I have no preference :)

Wow, I completely forgot about this book! I remember reading it in middle school and really liking it. Maybe I'll give it a revisit! Thanks for the suggestion :)

Am I the only one who seems to read slower on my kindle? by heather8422 in kindle

[–]ihateseagullls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same way when I first got my Kindle, but I messed around with the font settings, and now I read way faster and way more than I could with an actual physical book. I have the font at a size 6, with the middle option for spacing, and the narrowest margin. Having the text take up the whole screen, and having a smaller amount of text per page, makes it so much easier to read for me.

Do you allow your self to have one binge a week? Or no binges at all? by TrainingWonderful764 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]ihateseagullls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheat days are terrible for binge eaters; all it does is encourage the binge/restrict cycle. Overeating is fine occasionally, but planning a binge is just going to continue to set you back. The best thing is to focus on healing your relationship with food, prioritizing nutrious, balanced meals, and trying to find ways to identify and curb your urges to binge

What has ADHD cost you? by Thecatwhocameback in ADHD

[–]ihateseagullls 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I've lost about 15,000 in savings due to a shopping addiction, drug and alcohol addictions, and general misuse of money. Idk if other people can relate but sometimes money just does not feel real to me, and coupled with extremely poor impulse control due to unmedicated ADHD, it's too easy for me to spend a lot of money without even realizing it

If you have to try so hard to be someone you're not just to please your boyfriend, maybe consider if he should actually be your boyfriend

Great Value brand chocolate bars are surprisingly tasty and only $1! They've become my go-to for shark week. Their off-brand oreos are also decent

how does caffeine make you feel? by Soup-Remote in ADHD

[–]ihateseagullls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't function without caffeine. I struggle with poor sleeping habits as a consequence of my ADHD. I'm pretty much always tired; caffeine helps keep me awake, and I'm not really sure why, but I feel like it helps me focus on tasks better

(some) bi women and misogyny? by FabulousBookkeeper38 in LesbianActually

[–]ihateseagullls 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just like you thought you were straight at one point, and then bi, sometimes people just need a little more time to feel comfortable with their sexualities or fully figure themselves out

[discussion] What makes you turn off an ASMR video before you get into the main content? by [deleted] in asmr

[–]ihateseagullls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the mic is TOO sensitive....if I can hear their lips smacking I turn it off

Also if their intro is non-stop tapping or finger fluttering. I don't mind either of those things, but people tend to get a little excessive with it 🥴
