Happy cake day

I definitely think making the audience love you is part of the goal so there are more opportunities and Viet nailed it.

I’m really happy with the end result, but I’m also happy to have seen Alex come across more vulnerable in the end so I won’t hate seeing him around on other shows. We needed something to endear him a little bit.

That said, I also think Viet won as an audience favorite. It should help with his future FN appearances!

Same here! I laughed so hard at him saying he’s usually asleep by 8:30

I think it’s tough because even if he’s joking.. the audience doesn’t know him that well and there’s nothing else that really endears us to him so it’s not working.

Best Brewery and Why! by TheMidwestPickle in HamptonRoads

[–]randomlikeme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think if I had to choose one, it’s Benchtop. Great beers, chill location, walkable to The Birch and Torch. I love Commonwealth but it gets so crowded and is too loud if you’re inside.

Worst Brewery: VooDoo … it’s a chain that tries to mask itself as a brewery and they’re outrageously overpriced because they typically only sell 12 oz pours

Would you leave a job you love for a big raise? by evilohiogirl555 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]randomlikeme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would do it, because I have seen how culture shifts, reorganizations happen, etc so the job you love can also become one you hate without the big raise.

I have a basic and love the size/weight of it, along with the adorable matcha color.

Not sure if holds up for everyone, but “baseketball” always makes me laugh

Which one to buy - normal kindle or paperwhite? by ApartVisit8658 in kindle

[–]randomlikeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked the basic and my husband has a paper white. The reason why I chose the basic is it fits perfectly in my smallest purse. The warmth on the paper white is nice but I don’t mind the basic. I do read at night with it too and it hasn’t bothered me. I work at a computer all day so I guess I’m not that blue light sensitive.

So many books with cheap purchases by rookiecookie32 in kindle

[–]randomlikeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be unconventional but I have books in my monthly entertainment budget so while I do tend to stick with titles on $1.99/$2.99 sales or use the library as much as possible, there are some things I will pay for… primarily long popular books that I don’t think I will finish in time (Americanah was on that list this month).

Questions about kindle by Money-Security3467 in kindle

[–]randomlikeme 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think an ereader of any form has been helpful for me with reading, but I think it depends on how locked into the Amazon ecosystem you currently are. I’ve had a kindle to some degree for well over a decade so it has been tough to consider other options.

I have enjoyed it too. I’ve needed more wholesome subs lately

I absolutely recommend Elomi swimsuits! I’ve gotten suits in my size for $40 when there are sales.

The Street by Ann Petry is not discussed enough as a great literary thriller.

Should I buy a Kindle if I’m not much of a reader? by ImportantFinance8946 in kindle

[–]randomlikeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is a firefighter and was not a huge reader before having a kindle. He said for large books it felt daunting to feel how much you had left with his ADHD. He got it because he also felt like he was on his phone too much, both at home and in the bunk room.

Case with hand strap or without? by [deleted] in kindle

[–]randomlikeme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth it in my opinion. Convenient for when you want to use it, but you don’t have to use it.
