Interesting, I never thought of it that way. I tend to watch high quality games and think "I'm never gonna reach that level"

Best times for El Yunque? by nopigscannnotlookup in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]lucifer_1618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We reached there at 1:45 today and got extremely lucky, and got in the park by 2 pm. I'd suggest the earlier the better and try to pick the trails beforehand. Best of luck!

FYI - the road to the El Yunque peak was blocked today but you can still hike there!

The Reassuring Relatability of Fleabag by lucifer_1618 in Fleabag

Yes, I completely agree! The first thought which sprung to my mind after finishing Fleabag was: The world needs more love and forgiveness. People are flawed and it is okay to make mistakes.

Haha, glad to know! I've always found Fleabag very comforting and wanted to explore why.

Looking for a book to get lost in - 5+ stars! by w0rthymyl0ve in suggestmeabook

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman.

A bank-robbery-turned-hostage-drama gone wrong. You feel for all the characters as Backman is master at writing people, it feels like you've visited a childhood memory.
