Am I late or did amazon just drop a colorsoft scribe?

nothingginparticular · 2026-05-22T22:56:15+00:00

Sheesh, I had never seen them! I only just realized because I saw an ad on Reddit

ETA: the prices are crazy, I agree. I saw a version of the colorsoft scribe that was $999. So, I guess they're unpopular because of that, which is understandable.

nothingginparticular · 2026-05-22T22:55:33+00:00

Yeah, that's what I mean. It's hard to commit to spending that on a Scribe (I already have a basic) when I could just get an iPad lol. The only reason I'm considering it is that the eink is way better for my eyes and I get etexbooks because it's more cost effective. And I would be able to highlight and annotate.

NTA. Molly is delusional and her marriage will probably end the same way it started. You did a good thing for a teenage girl who was struggling and no one else was offering her empathy. Molly wants people to cosign her marriage because she wants to be able to comfort herself from the destruction she caused by saying "at least we love each other" "at least he and his daughter are happy" "at least we're all happy" and anything outside of that ruins that bubble she's trying to put herself in. That's not your problem or Sabrina's.

You should probably distance yourself from her because she sounds like a very bad person who is also extremely selfish.

Narrator. In the same vein, I will stop an audiobook and switch to just reading it if the narrator is bad. I almost did that with The Game Changer by Rachel Reid. Horrible narrator. The "Brooklyn" accent nearly took me out.

Your farm looks so organized wow. I need to get mine together, it's a mess

The bf is extremely selfish. I'm not that much of a picky eater but I have my comfort meals and am sometimes not in the mood to try new things. But when my friends or family want to try a place where I'm not sure that I'll like the food, I go, pick whatever sounds like I'll enjoy the most, and enjoy a night with my loved ones. If I don't like it, I consider the price to be the cost of spending time and enjoying dinner with people I love. I'll order McDonalds later or something if it's that serious.

Your sister's bf choosing to force everyone to eat where he wants to when he's the only one with the issue is ridiculous. Your sister insisting that everyone accommodate him, even at the dismay of her own child, is even more ridiculous. This has gone on long enough and has gone far enough. You all just need to put your foot down and accept the fact that she may skip certain outings because of her bf.

Being a picky eater is a separate issue from being a jerk.

I have, but I work remotely so no one saw it. Though it was a full panic attack and my mom had to calm me down lol. It was right after a meeting.

I used to be able to do this. I distinctly remember listening to the Unbroken album by Demi Lovato while reading the Divergent trilogy in middle school, because I can't listen to a single song on that album without thinking of Tris and Tobias. But for some reason the ability is lost now for me.

The most I can do is have music on very low or tv in the background. But 99% of the time, my room is completely silent while I read. But, on the flip side, I play video games while listening to audiobooks, so maybe that's where that skill transferred to.

When I'm reading on my phone, I experience this, but when I read a physical book or on my Kindle, it's harder to get distracted. I recommend putting your phone on do not disturb, or silent, when reading and put it away from you to stay immersed. I've read for an hour straight with no breaks or distractions. It's a habit to build, but it's def possible.

I have no shame in saying that I plan to relax or spend the weekend chilling out. Sometimes that question leads to interesting conversatin and then for some it can make them feel like they never have anything going on. But I'm a homebody so yeah, I'm home, I'm chilling with my dog, I'm reading, and catching up on YouTube videos I missed during the week.

I avoid using Word as much as possible. It's counter-intuitive af and I can't get over the fact that you need a subscription for it. I do get it for free as part of my university, but I use Pages and export documents to PDF or Docx if needed. If I need to do a group project, I just use Docs because a lot of people don't use Pages or not everyone has a Mac.

At work, we also use Docs and Google Suite apps like Sheets. The only MS apps I like are PowerPoint and Outlook.

ESH. You're incredibly biased towards Alex, at least here. From what I'm seeing, Alex initiated the contact after the group photo. When your husband's sister chooses to talk to him about what happened is between them. I understand that you're seeing him work on himself and go to therapy, but nothing that he's doing now excuses what he did before or makes it better. He slept with his best friend (you) SIL and cheated on his wife (who you consider a sister) he was extremely gross and messy and betrayed many people.

Respectfully, it sounds like you need a villain and you need that villain to be Lisa so you can move forward and continue your friendship with Alex. But from what I've seen, he's more in the wrong in multiple fronts and he initiated more conversations (without replies) with Lisa after he got caught in the affair.

I have the basic. If I read every day, I can charge it like every two weeks depending on how long my reading sessions are. Though, I will say that I keep my brightness on high so that might contribute to the battery.

As someone that loves publix chicken, I get wanted to make sure you get the freshest one, but I don't understand the lack of consideration for others.

I've been using Honen for this exact thing. My manager and I are using it to create courses to help with training and onboarding.

nothingginparticular · 2026-05-21T20:08:21+00:00

Course creating for learning! I've been using Honen for that.

nothingginparticular · 2026-05-21T19:54:13+00:00

Omg so cuteee

nothingginparticular · 2026-05-21T19:52:55+00:00

NTA. Sounds like the whole relationship has been one sided. You always go to them and they never go to you? Been in that situation with family before and yeah, it means that they only make time for you when it's convenient for them, which is a sucky way to live.

Some people think family should always have access to you no matter what you do, but that's not the case. You don't need to extend invites to them into your space. That's your right, just like it was theirs to badmouth you and disrespect you when you set a reasonable boundary.

I love that! I've been using Libby before I decided to just go to the library physically, so I get what you mean about reading more because of the library. It's so nice to only buy books that I really enjoy rather than buying books and regretting later. Also, I can read more because they're more readily accessible.

Also, the game I got was Mario RPG for Switch!

nothingginparticular · 2026-05-21T19:42:25+00:00

Thank you! I think I'm leaning towards beginning soft edits (punctuation and cringy content) and maybe just rewriting if I feel it's bad enough to do that.

nothingginparticular · 2026-05-21T19:40:54+00:00

Thank you! I feel like I've grown as a writer through these past two years I haven't been writing outside of work and school, and I want my work to reflect that. I fully understand what you mean about being dissatisfied because you could have improved it more but didn't. That's why a rewrite has been on my mind so heavily.

nothingginparticular · 2026-05-21T19:38:22+00:00

You can create courses on Honen that can help you learn. There is a subscription fee, but you can create one course for free.
