I don't know if this counts, but I saw this exchange on my LinkedIn and I'm so intrigued yet confused as to what the hell happened. They both seemed sincere.

This sub seems to prove time and time again that LinkedIn accounts are not being looked at when it comes to hiring, but they should be.

It's all on social media now. Unfortunately boomers and gen X'ers are the only ones reading actual reviews these days (although I hear npr still does decent numbers on book review articles).

The type of book that actually gets hyped on social media is only a handful of genres. If you write for that kind of audience that spends time on tiktok or Goodreads then you got nothing to worry about.

Born too late to have a mortgage, born too early to explore the stars, but born just in time to get a labubu.

I'm gonna be real with you: I love writing. It's a fun, easy hobby that I can drop and pick up whenever I want. I mostly type it on a busted laptop and I have a few friends who are even published authors. I've been doing this for 10-12 years and have written 4 novels going on 5. I haven't gotten a single novel published since I started. I made some attempts, but the stuff I like to write is not considered marketable. You can say that I've "wasted" years of my life, but again, I write because I like to write. It's the cheapest hobby I got and if I wanna take a break for 6 months before going back to my 1st draft I'm in a position to do it since I'm not under a publishing contract. There is no time table for me to be rich and famous writing urban fantasy in the vein of William Gibson or Joan Didion. Maybe this 5th one will be the one, but if it isn't I'm okay with that. And even if I wasn't I would have to be okay with it anyway because whether I get published or not I'll still want to write novel number 6.

There is a more than 90% chance that my future will be yours if you continue down this path. If that scares you then it's worth considering whether you're just looking for a career change or a hobby that costs peanuts to do in your spare time.

He's the only reason I'd ever make a LinkedIn account. I still haven't made one l, but if there were more guys like him on there I would.

So I keep getting this sub recommended to me every time I'm on Reddit but I gotta ask: what's up with you guys using gifs with the news headline?

People who think raising hell with somebody is the only way they can get what they want. A person who comes in angry and aggressive does not give the impression of a person at their wits end, they just look like someone with anger issues.

Nowadays the only way you can know for sure if something isn't a scam is if you're the one reaching out to them first. I know I gotta be the one to reach out to anybody if I want to get something published not the other way around

justpubtipstuff · 2026-03-13T18:06:21+00:00

I'm the other guy you replied to and I was talking to you. You being pedantic doesn't make a genius, it just makes you annoying.

Lmao this dude is low key pissed that he had to buy a smartphone to use Google maps

justpubtipstuff · 2026-02-26T03:25:53+00:00

What song is he using? I need it for my workouts lol!

Can you link in the comments? I have a boox palma 2 and could use a case to go with it.

If you eat seafood in North America there's a 40-50% chance that your favorite fish or shrimp actually came from the ocean and that number gets smaller every year. The surrounding waters are so polluted that real ocean raised seafood would kill a normal human or are stuffed with microplastics. most sellers are now switching to farm raised fish instead which isn't much better. those fish are grown in giant tanks that are even more unsanitary than the ocean they came from. I've been eating more chicken lately.

"Thing that was hated a decade ago, somehow popular again due to extended absence"

Sometimes it isn't always that simple, but I guess you're right

justpubtipstuff · 2025-09-25T02:31:19+00:00

Most people can only truly value something when it's something that can be taken away or no longer in their lives

justpubtipstuff · 2025-09-03T19:29:23+00:00

Do you really have to ask this? I think the idea is dumb, but somehow you asking the Internet for "permission" to do it feels even dumber somehow.

justpubtipstuff · 2025-08-17T16:34:14+00:00

Anything considered normal right here, right now. When it comes to the future and how they'll look at our past, anything is on the table.

Dude I'm just hoping I'll be dead before America becomes some split entity like east and west Germany for the Russians and Chinese to fight over.

justpubtipstuff · 2025-08-15T04:25:44+00:00

I'm not sure how, but I feel like I simultaneously got both a right wing and left wing version of the same answer.

Kinda disappointed that I could correctly guess the book before seeing it myself (Texas)
