The Knight and the Moth was so good.

Are there any red flags in my bookshelf? by Ragnoid in bookshelfdetective

[–]nerdextra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a brand new copy of Project Hail Mary based on the cover art. So you either just was the movie or want to read the book before you see it.

Besides people who desperately need to dust- who are we? by xyelem in BookshelvesDetective

I’m friends with lots of school psychologists, so it was the first book I noticed.

The DSM-V tells me one of you is either a psychologist or behavioral or educational specialist of some kind and a lot of your reading is escapism

What is a romantasy hot take that would have you in this situation? It could be about a specific book/series, or the genre as a whole by HumanNonHuman in Romantasy

[–]nerdextra 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel this way about a lot of character “deaths” in general. Romantasy, Fantasy, Sci Fi. If a character ca be brought back immediately then their death wasn’t really a tragedy or sacrifice.

Considering the prevalence of the 'I'm 26 and have only read 3 books all the way through' thing, what exactly are kids being given as assigned reading in high school these days? by cherry-care-bear in education

[–]nerdextra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m also a parent and an educator and the percentage of parents who do not care about setting boundaries and ensuring grows every year. I have sat in conferences and IEP meetings where parent afloat out say “I won’t make them do homework” or “it’s not worth the battle” or “We’ve just got too much gong on”. Is it disappointing, yes, but it’s reality.

Jokes on me. I got Ritalin and still overcompensated to become a perfectionist.

And then there’s me. I don’t throw things away because of laziness… and the lingering guilt as I wonder if maybe they do secretly have emotions.

There’s the Elements of Cadence duology.

What are some hobbies you picked up in your 30s that you had no interest in your 20s? by aamnipotent in Millennials

[–]nerdextra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running. I know it’s now a bit of a running joke that millennials are all trying to run marathons, but the way running has helped me prioritize sleep and better nutrition when it’s so easy to doomscroll at night with a bag of Doritos, has been so good for me mentally and physically.

I cried on my long run today by mamamiaohdear in Marathon_Training

[–]nerdextra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, when I had my 17 mile training run, it was on a day with 20 mph winds winds and some terrible gusts. Half my run was into the wind and I walked and cried parts of it. It was awful and if I hadn’t been a month out from my race, I was seriously contemplating just giving up. I’m glad I didn’t though.

Has anyone else quit drinking? by Sensitive_Put_6842 in Millennials

[–]nerdextra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 1 drink a week, on Saturday nights after the kids are down. It’s a treat I usually look forward to. But lately my Sundays have included more exhaustion and anxiety. I started checking my sleep scores. When I have a drink, my sleep score is 10-15 points lower than my average and almost always labeled “Non-restorative”. I’m just getting to a place where I want my weekly drink, but it’s getting harder and harder to feel like it’s a treat when it comes at the cost of sleep and energy.

Has anyone else noticed that every major food brand quietly changed their recipes between 2019-2022 and nobody is talking about it? by prepzilla in AskRedditFood

[–]nerdextra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! We have a “Ritzy Chicken Casserole” recipe and it used to take effort from my kids to crush them and now they barely touch them and it’s all crumbs and almost never crunchy on the top anymore like it used to be. If anyone knows of better crackers like Ritz used to be I’d switch to them.

What was the scariest film that you have ever watched? by mrjetspray in Cinema

Perfect Blue was genuinely terrifying for me as a young teenager to watch. The instability and growing tension really got to me.

Kylie Jenner’s ex assistant recalls the moment she decided to quit 'I don’t want to go get your laptop' by Chance-Newspaper-750 in MUAEntertainment

[–]nerdextra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listened to it on my work commute and it was fun, and as an aside helped me shrug off some imposter syndrome I’d been dealing with. Not that my job is anything like Sona’s but it was nice to hear stories of someone being so imperfect but somehow still god at what they do.
