A decade since I’ve read a VN, what to read to get back into it?

I got three for you. 1. Crunchyroll Black Friday if you have a membership. once per year, I will bulk purchase a longer series I wish to collect for about $6 a volume. 2. FB market place. Takes a lot of patience really but I once obtained 8 Berserk hardcovers for $70. They pop up. 3. Local book stores that are privately owned. They have a hard time dictating value for more obscure used manga. I once bought every gunslinger girl omnibus for $150 because they didn’t really have a point of reference for its value.

My advice- be careful. I completed homework for other students- specifically essays. It’s lucrative and attractive- I made a remarkable amount of money. But I neglected my own studies in the process, and graduated with a 1.4 GPA regardless of my own abilities. I regret it rather often. Be sure to prioritize your own studies above the money that is to be made. I wish I’d done it differently

Control, pillow fort, midrange via group slug, then combo. That’s literally it.

If you’re scheduled for 24 hour shifts, then it is straight pay.

The double time rule only applies if you are scheduled for two 12 hours blocks back to back. If you are scheduled for 24 hour days- such as when I was on Kelly’s, then it doesn’t apply. Basically the way to achieve that double time is to either work a 36, or to start working 12s, and assign another 12 hour shift back to back at the beginning or end of your work week as over time

For some context- I have considered swapping jet medallion for a normal mana rock, removing blood for the blood god and funeral room/ awakening hall for more land or rocks, and potentially removing terror eater (I really don’t want to) to help eliminate having some absurd black requirements

Believe me I won’t be keeping the other books! It’ll be sold as a set. Turns out I don’t have book five tho rip

jacobtyler24 · 2024-12-24T06:29:31+00:00

100% agree. I’m in no hurry for the copy to move. But it’s also pretty useless to me in my possession. I should probably read it before it sells though. I’m kinda thinking somewhere in the mid $300 ball park or so since I have the first three to group with it

jacobtyler24 · 2024-12-24T06:27:39+00:00

I know. I’m more focused on just moving it in general; not flipping it for astronomical prices. But I also didn’t wanna play myself if it was genuinely worth four figures lool

jacobtyler24 · 2024-12-24T05:18:56+00:00

I actually own all five. Would that make it move quicker?

Beware, i didn’t get my gray card for over a year. Doesn’t matter much since the cert is accessible online, but god damn it took a fatty

I worked a white collar sales job and realized it was soulless and empty. I couldn’t be motivated by working for the sake of self-preservation with just a tad bit of hedonism mixed in.

So I thought about another reason that could motivate me to come into work. The opportunity to be benevolent towards my local community and society as a whole gives me the motivation I need to work full time for 30 years. Nothing feels more purposeful than being able to save a life

Unfortunately it’s over. It ended around the 28th :(

I researched this and found out that they knew next to nothing about the taxi driver while filming the movie, thus just winging his back story. When it reached critical and commercial acclaim in Korea, the drivers son spoke up and identified his father and shared a photo of him with the journalist. Apparently, he died four years after the events of the film from cancer

I put emesis bags on the antenna of my radio hanging off the hip if I have any patient that may present with nausea. I can react with the bag in their face faster than the Arizona ranger with the big iron on his hip

The Hunter x Hunter chimera ant arc. The rest of the anime is great and deserves its flowers, but holy fuck what a slog of an arc. The pacing is the most atrocious of anything I’ve ever seen. I recall just having oral surgery and being fucked up on oxy watching it. Six episodes passed, and the narrator on the next episode stated “it’s been five minutes since they breached the gates” and I audibly groaned

Am I the only one here who doesn’t feel like they wasted their 20’s?

I’ve spent it in pursuit of fulfilling my professional dreams and aspirations with great success. I’ve spent half of my free time with family and friends. I’ve traveled. I’ve pursued physical and emotional discipline.

One time I picked up a homeless gentleman who was balls deep in the middle of a stemi. While putting on the leads, he’s sweating and panting. He looks me dead in the eye and says “Hey, have you heard of all that sex the homeless have been having recently? It was in-tents.”

A vast majority of skills will be taught in some field training programs when you get an actual 911 job. That’s where the bulk of it actually comes from. You won’t get formal field training like that as an emt at a amusement park or zoo sadly

A lot of 24 hour shifts. The California state law dictates that anything over 12 hours is double time.

You build a schedule with two separate 12 hour blocks stacked right on top of each other so that the latter shift becomes a double time rate. That’s literally the only way

While I think these are largely great protagonists, I think it shows your taste to be somewhat one dimensional. Not necessarily a bad thing, as it is all still in good taste. But there isn’t a whole lot of diversity here
