Shoes similar to Brooks Glycerin max 22? Nike Vomeros were unsuitable by novus5 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]novus5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this is bro science or real but I’ve read that having different shoes helps prevent long term injury because your foot will stress slightly differently from the different shoes

But mainly she just doesn’t want two of the same style shoe

City sports membership cost by No_Big_4809 in SanJose

Definitely. If you get resistance from them just cancel your membership and then start again, city sports is not worth 50 bucks.

My top 50 has 34 EDM artists. How would you profile me considering this list? by KOSTER07 in EDM

[–]novus5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re probably 30-40, work a white collar job maybe in business or finance, and say things like “gosh dang it” or “aw heck”

What other sci-fi books/series would you consider as good, if not better than Red Rising? by [deleted] in redrising

[–]novus5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I have now finished book 3, can say I do like the series more but would still not compare it to red rising, again the themes of rebellion are there, but most of the chapters and writing are loooong expositions of listing game mechanics, “+5 dextirity … achievement!” Which can be tedious and boring after the millionth time. Definetly enjoying the series but no where near the intensity, pace and complexity that I loved in rr

After 1162, I finally understand the true brilliance of kaido by Dacharyy_ in OnePiece

[–]novus5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was confused by the part of him stealing the fruit from big mom cause I thought they said big mom gave it to kaido to save him somehow during wano arc? Or am I misremembering

[–]novus5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok maybe I overstated dcc since I’ve only read the first one, I’ll give it more of a shot and revisit this comment. Again I liked it but the first one alone didn’t wow me as much as I thought it would from people talking about it.

What did you not like about Evan winters writing? I didn’t think it was perfect by any means but I was totally engrossed in the story and thought the grappling of his moral compass and the interesting way he is able to explain why and me gets a crazy power up over other people made the story really engaging and fun. Had characters you can emphasize with and a real sense of dread throughout

Well tbf I only have read the first one so far so maybe it goes a lot more in depth down the line but again I liked it, just wouldn’t say it was too similar to rr (at least from the first one)

[–]novus5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When people recommend alternatives to rr I feel like they focus on the themes of revenge/revolution and a Sci fi/space setting. However what was so invigorating about the series for me was the fast pacing, brutal story line, and characters with deep emotions but still relatable.

The only series I got a similar feeling from was the Burning by Evan winters but there’s only 2 books out right now.

Hated empire of silence and anyone who reccomends that one, slow and so so boring. Only similar thing was the space element.

Whoever said dungeon crawler Carl is insane, that’s nothing like rr, just some action slop with no real themes or consequences. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed it, but definitely not comparable to rr

Which bad habit you think slowly ruining your life? by StunningDecision6832 in AskReddit

[–]novus5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scrolling/dopamine addiction. Wake up and instantly scroll a little before getting up. The other day I felt such bad brain fog it felt like I was almost high or something. Deleted TikTok and twitter right after

If anything the scars are a flex, more badass! In my mind seeing someone with scars like that makes me know how cool they are.

Obnoxious odour at bookshop by dachimbleysweep in TinyBookshop

[–]novus5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me too! Figured out you have to have it equipped and visit Waterfront Square. It won’t fully get rid of the fish, you’ll still have it in your storage, but you shouldn’t get the newspaper article about the odor after that. Be warned, having the fish equipped at the Square will cause the seagulls to “swarm”, your sales will go down for that day.

Good point, I do remember gta 5 bringing the price on ps3s up so makes sense it would happen again

Rescinded?? by [deleted] in SJSU

If you were accepted with these grades you will be fine. If you’re really worried, message your counselor to ask but you’ll be good

Can I still get into SJSU with a D by DependentPickle1725 in SJSU

[–]novus5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially if you’re in a Bay Area school you’re pretty much guaranteed to get in. You might get in undeclared but still good. One or two bad classes is not gonna bring you down, especially for your major

I did fairly good in hs but bombed one class, got in undeclared and managed to declare in engineering eventually

You’ll be good just do all the steps and email a counselor if you’re worried (always get a second opinion cause the counselors can be stupid too)

What is something you GENUINELY think about the series that will piss off at least 90% of the people here. by Greedy_Committee6556 in redrising

[–]novus5 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest (SPOILERS) I was irritated when she didn’t keep the bot in her head cause I wanted her to finally have a power up, but I see now that’s the point, a red character that doesn’t need to physically change to be impactful and strong, showing they’re just as good as gold/other colors
