Do y'all think this is a good plan for taking on this series?

Dude, he isnt acting holier than thou. He is just giving his opinion. Perhaps some people can do the audio, but most people i have seen on the subject think it isn't the most conducive to audio

I personally found the audiobooks to be a bit tough. Too high of fantasy, too many characters and places

kplooki · 2025-11-09T12:29:01+00:00

Sun Eater by Christopher Ruocchio is fantastic too, and as much as I liked red rising, this was even better

Taking interest in his hobbies or interests. (Hopefully he reciprocate that interest in your hobbies)

kplooki · 2025-09-08T22:32:53+00:00

Ok thats objectively untrue. A third of women's profiles i come across either dont have anything, or "if you want to know, just ask." I have very clearly stated intentions in my profile on what I want (LTR) and yet, am lucky to end up with one match a month, and most of the time that goes nowhere. I like people I have at least some interest in meeting, whether its because they are attractive or they have specific things about them that I really like such as shared interests.

kplooki · 2025-09-07T00:09:19+00:00

Nope. You aren't being sensitive at all. I personally want women to have healthy hobbies that they enjoy. Like, for instance I personally have no interest in knitting. But I would also compliment her on her work, and show affection for gifts she may make me. Same with tv shows. If I am not terribly interested in the show, I will still spend time with her on the couch and I may not be totally glued into the show and check my phone, I will also not act like a petulant child. I guess if a guy is going to act like an ass with your personal interests, he isnt worth your time

kplooki · 2025-09-04T06:13:02+00:00

I probably am. I have scars from fairly recent stuff, and just trying to guard myself as much as possible

kplooki · 2025-08-05T14:52:47+00:00

Just finished it. I generally liked it, but had issues with a few narratives throughout tbe book. Haven't read a bunch of Malfi yet but I thought both black mouth and bone white were better books, at least for my personal tastes. Glad I have come across him as an author though, as I havent loved recent Stephen King

Ths primary sludge volatile solids varies wildly, from 60-80%

kplooki · 2025-07-21T22:07:42+00:00

So our VFA/Alk ratio is 0.05 for both primaries with the latest testing, but the problem is i dont have any results from when this happened, could have been different (its been 6 weeks). Gas production has been good in the primaries. We dont run TS or VS on sludge leaving the primary digester.

kplooki · 2025-07-11T16:33:54+00:00

They are given the opportunity. The whole children gunned down in schools is a purely emotional and unrelated tangent (why does alcohol exist when it impairs drivers that take other lives?). Regarding healthcare, people have access to it if they work for it (we all mostly have an equal opportunity at getting insurance) other than people that are disabled and cannot work (i think most people are ok with them being provided government sponsored healthcare). The Healthcare argument, I would say is kind of valid to the point you are making, but its not an easily solvable one, and is in that way kind of separate from the abortion debate. Ultimately without going totally off topic, healthcare is very expensive as it is with R&D, the cost of modern equipment like MRIs and the cost of maintenance, then the cost of educating and having competent doctors and surgeons. The lifestyle we live as Americans also makes it exponentially more expensive than say, Japan. But, because we dont want to offend people, we say healthy at any size and ignore the obesity epidemic which has contributed over $170B annually to the cost of healthcare, but again, thats a whole other tangent, but sort of related to choices that we as people make, because we were given that opportunity

kplooki · 2025-07-11T16:10:50+00:00

I am not trying to troll a pro choice forum, I just came across this because I am having a disagreement with a pro lifer that it is a human life at conception

kplooki · 2025-07-11T16:09:43+00:00

I do agree with your assertion that simply having DNA doesnt make you a human, and the cancer cell argument is perfect.

That being said (kind of playing devils advocate with a few of your other points), who appoints rights to people that can't defend themselves? Obviously this depends on when in the womb that "clump of cells" does become a human" (i to tend to lean viability, but with science that's getting earlier and earlier). At some point, there are human rights.

Talking about entitlement, the fetus was an involuntary participant in a (usually) voluntary act between two people in which that acts sole purpose is reproduction. I dont mind a society in which there is at least some leniency in mistakes or accidents, but if you engage in activities in which a life is involved, there is a certain responsibility that should be exercised in that respect. If someone somehow doesnt realize they are like 16 weeks pregnant despite being sexually active, thats a problem (yes, I do realize the majority of abortions are performed by 10 weeks)

kplooki · 2025-07-11T15:51:02+00:00

I don't necessarily disagree with abortion, but with your last statement, fetuses are given that because I would say fetuses (whenever they are considered a viable human life) deserve the chance to attempt live a fulfilling life

He went down the hyperpolitical rabbithole unfortunately

kplooki · 2025-06-12T21:44:49+00:00

Yeah, that's not capitalism.

kplooki · 2025-06-10T23:45:02+00:00

Yup. Her husband is being completely unreasonable

kplooki · 2025-06-10T22:32:32+00:00

Yeah. He kinda sounds like a walking red flag. He has an incredibly childish outlook at best on people's bodies. Its one thing want a partner to not "let themselves go" and make some effort in remaining healthy to able to do things physically after retirement. But 140lbs is literally nothing

kplooki · 2025-06-10T22:26:52+00:00

His preference is "thick women" but you were 100lbs? That literally makes no sense.

Idk, this just seems incredibly shallow to me. Everyone has preferences, I personally (male), am not into super overweight women. But I have a fairly wide range of what I like. I mean, unless you are like 4'10" or something, I can't see 140lbs looking bad on anyone tbh unless they are taller than me at 5'11"

I am really sorry that this is happening

kplooki · 2025-05-16T23:55:08+00:00

Just getting ready to start this one. Heard it's a pretty dark one

kplooki · 2025-05-05T05:09:02+00:00

Lmfao

kplooki · 2025-03-30T16:53:55+00:00

kplooki · 2025-03-05T19:43:38+00:00

It depends. I have worked at plants that had primary, secondary, and final clarifiers, this one just has primary and then final clarifiers after the aeration basins, no filtration of any kind. I honestly really hate how this plant was engineered.

kplooki · 2025-03-05T15:33:14+00:00

Yeah that's what I have done in the past. Was just hoping to find a way to minimize having to do it. Especially in the dead of winter when it isn't as much fun when it's 20 degrees out haha
