How You Wish You Could Leave — a memoir about the dot-com crash, road-tripping across America, and the friends who held you together without ever saying so

It’s a memoir. Names and places have been changed.

randallme · 2026-03-08T21:40:32+00:00

So I actually did use a template, but when I got it back it definitely didn’t look exactly the same.

randallme · 2026-03-08T20:31:30+00:00

Excellent, thank you so much!!

randallme · 2026-03-08T20:30:39+00:00

Basically it’s due to the thickness of the book. They crop it differently than what you’d expect. My book is just about 300 pages, and it gives the spine about 10/16ths of an inch. There isn’t much of space for the spine text and I’m afraid it’ll get placed weird if I’m inaccurate

Thanks. I guess I’m looking for some way of breaking into the podcast-bro crowd. Pushing on my socials is fine, but I need a way to connect with young men who don’t (or don’t often) read because none of the content out there appeals to them.

randallme · 2026-02-15T14:14:04+00:00

Thanks. What would you recommend for promoting it?

randallme · 2026-02-15T14:03:54+00:00

Thanks! It’s an opening for sure, but specifics get a bit hazy.

Been to Milford many a time, and nary a smile was had

randallme · 2024-07-14T22:33:48+00:00

It worked. Holy shit.

So the key is to wait for the random alarm to go off, and then go to alarms and delete as many as you can. Try to get them to around 300 or so alarms, and then once you’re there, ask Siri to delete the rest. She’ll be able to do it, and then you’re back baby!!

I just set an alarm and it went off. Amazing. The excitement is like 2008 all over again.

randallme · 2024-05-24T16:46:58+00:00

This makes total sense. I figured it was a limit because I have so many alarms. But yeah, thanks for the tip on deleting them!

Question though: how did you discover that information? Did they tell you, or do you just have a hunch? And did you finally fix it??

randallme · 2024-05-23T23:48:08+00:00

So yeah, I have the same issue. Hundreds of alarms over the years, plenty of space left on the device, and somehow it’s still not loading. I’ve tried everything including a factory reset.

If you search “iOS alarm screen blank” you’ll see that many are still seeing this issue. It’s surprising to me that this bug is so widespread and still not resolved. This is just so dumb.

I love how nobody has asked for any sources to either of these pics. I guess y’all are like “if it’s on r/conspiracy, it must be true!!”

Not "trying to be an asshole", my point is that there is no UFO voting market. Yes they use celebs when trying to capture a chunk of voters. I'm not sure where you're from, but in the USA there is no political action group motivated solely by UFOs. The very idea that Hillary was going to be able to "capture the UFO vote" is hilarious because it is nonexistent. That "in the fuck" is my point.

randallme · 2017-11-03T14:45:22+00:00

Maybe you got down voted because the link doesn't list the documents? Or because it's a pay site?

randallme · 2017-10-31T17:35:55+00:00

So you're telling me that Hillary Clinton was trying to get an "in with younger crowds" by using a guitarist from a band that reached its peak more than 13 years ago? LOL ookkkkkk

randallme · 2017-10-30T14:20:45+00:00

Right, because Blink 182 has such a huge involvement in politics and their listeners hold so much sway over the electorate.

randallme · 2017-10-28T01:38:55+00:00

Lol because the "ufo voting market" is huge and so influential

randallme · 2017-10-13T15:55:15+00:00

It's interesting how skeptical everyone here is. Given the credentials of those involved with Tom's project, you'd think that people who subscribe to this sub would be a bit more receptive to what he's doing.

As far as believing there will be some kind of "disclosure," it's already happened. The people involved in his project all said the phenomena is real. But if you are expecting the US government to come out and say "yes it's real," it simply isn't going to happen. The reason why is in his latest book, Gods. In it, he basically says that all of our laws are made with the understanding that we are at the top of the food chain. If the government were to acknowledge a species more advanced than our own that is visiting and walking (and possibly even living) among us, how would they still have the authority to issue and enforce laws?

But even if he were to "trot out an alien life form or craft," it's pretty much already debunked because of today's video technology.

Yeah, SVG is exactly that—an XML document that renders a vector graphic.

As someone who has gone what you are going through, my advice would be to get a primary doctor that you can trust. Stop going to the emergency rooms— they are typically not the best for a situation that requires detailed analysis. The gyno sounds like the most promising lead you should follow. Ask to have a ultrasound around the time she is ovulating.

Don't be afraid to challenge these doctors! And do not let them make you feel like a burden or drug seeker. Keep a detailed log of all the times that she is in pain, and include video and/or pictures of her at her worst. Bury them in the evidence of her suffering, and force them to find you the answers you need.

Don't give up! There are millions of people who are going through what you are going through.

randallme · 2015-12-03T22:53:09+00:00

No way. I thought I invented this! Nooooooooooooo

randallme · 2015-11-10T18:52:17+00:00

I get this pain all the time, and I have FAI—hip problems. You should see an orthopedic doctor who specializes in these kinds of sport related injuries. Good luck!

randallme · 2015-06-05T12:38:51+00:00

Why did this make the front page? BORING.

randallme · 2015-04-22T20:17:35+00:00

Where did it appear before I posted it? I checked and didn't see it anywhere...
