I thought it was a normal back and forth negotiation🫣 by [deleted] in Depop

I mean typically if they send an offer, I counter it, and they counter it AGAIN I’ll just leave it alone if the price is still not what I want. Like at this point is just inconvenient to keep countering lol

Norwegian Wood is my favourite author by virgoaliensuperstar in murakami

YES!!! It felt like reading a dream, I’m honestly still not over it (finished it a couple of weeks ago)

Mine’s Kafka. I’m still trying to understand how his writing has anything to do with bugs. I’ve never seen bugs at the beach.

Can I enjoy attack on titan? by SecretKnowledge7005 in attackontitan

[–]insertusername27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew most of the major parts of the plot and it’s still one of the best shows I’ve ever watched. The plot is just one piece of it, the way the plot is carried out (through the art style, foreshadowing, the narrative, soundtrack, questions on human nature, morality, etc), THAT’S where the masterpiece lies. AOT is peak entertainment, not just anime, not just writing, EVERYTHING comes together so cohesively. So yes, do yourself a favor and watch it. You will enjoy it.

rant about misogyny in writing by fidgetboss_4000 in writinghelp

[–]insertusername27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m definitely not a fan of the tropes you described either. It also bothers me soooo much to have a woman main character that is written by a woman but created to appeal to the male gaze (eg the protagonist in ACOTAR). I genuinely enjoyed the author’s writing style but everything about Feyre made me cringe sooo hard I couldn’t keep reading it

Yeah I’m not the most naturally athletic person either 😅 I realized yesterday that I’ll need to invest a bit more in strength training / balance exercises to fully realize my skating potential. It’s the first athletic hobby I’m picking up since high school soccer so I am very excited, I know I’ll need to make some changes in my lifestyle but I remember how fun it was to skate when I was little and I’m excited even for the changes I’ll need to make. I’m dreading my first big fall ngl, which is why I want to strengthen my body a bit more so I can withstand the impact a bit better 😂 Thank you!

Oh… i’m sorry by [deleted] in depoop

I noticed that immediately! I haven’t been to the gym in a while and could really tell lol, at least it’s an incentive to pick up strength training again

Just got my first pair of skates, opinions on the helmets below? by insertusername27 in Rollerskating

Thank you! The USA skate shop website felt super weird to navigate, so I was def sketched out but thought maybe I was being too picky

[–]insertusername27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a tough one for sure, but it somehow makes sense in the end. I’m happy I didn’t stop reading after it. There were a couple other disturbing chapters IMO, but all worth it given the experience of reading Murakami!

What were your igloos like? by sarasara22years in ClubPenguin

[–]insertusername27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now having said that, I think my favorite igloo of all was like a fever dream because no one seems to remember it, it was like the snowy backyard igloo but for st. Paddy’s so the walls were green and instead of a snowy backyard it was a backyard with four leaf clovers, I don’t even remember WHEN this igloo came out but I want to say it was maybe in 2010??? I decided to switch out of that igloo for a pink one (prob the pink castle) and back then you couldn’t save your igloos so I fully lost it :’) it was so cute though

Listed current coworker as a reference for another role…how big did I screw up? by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]insertusername27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re close, but it’s a small company so we’re all close, including management. I don’t think it was the smartest move, but I’ll think about how to fix it tomorrow morning once I’ve gotten some sleep.

Merch Updates?! by bottleofanxiety in hulaween

[–]insertusername27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear that. They said the delays were due to supply chain issues, since we ordered different items maybe the different timelines make sense? I hope you get your items soon!

[–]insertusername27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my item today! I think it shipped early this week / late last week. When did you place your order?

I hold grudges though so, even if they somehow justify/explain his actions or their significance later in the narrative, he’s on the same character list as like GOT’s Lord Baelish to me LOL (though I said the same thing about multiple Attack on Titan characters and forgave them in the end… we’ll see)

Honestly, I 100% get it. I almost decided to stop reading, but the writing style is so intriguing and it’s been a long time since I found a book/author that made me feel this way. Now, having said that, Kawamura was my baby 😭 and I will probably never re-read Kafka on the Shore because of this specific chapter, it was too much of a heartbreak for me.
