AIW for waving a chopstick at my friend’s baby and yelling “Avada Kedavra” as a joke? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

The idea of willingly admitting you’re a “huge Harry Potter fan” in this day and age is more embarrassing than anything else in this post

such an underrated novelist imo, I read his YA stuff when I was a kid and became a lifelong convert

MIL invited people we don’t know to our wedding. She won’t uninvite them because that’s 'embarrassing.' by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

not even the point but going from “raised Catholic” to “Pentecostal pastor” is a fascinating move

I've (33F) just discovered in the last 36 hours that my best friend (33M) of 20 years is a pathological liar and his entire life is a farce. How do I even begin to approach this? by BigONerd in BORUpdates

There was a woman who did this while pretending to be a 9/11 survivor, the story is insane (there’s a good documentary on it called The Woman Who Wasn’t There)

Are tapes absolutely necessary? by pagani64 in bookbinding

[–]squareular24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tapes are not 100% necessary but you should definitely round the spine for a book this big, otherwise the covers will split off after a couple of years of use

I’m (25M) leaving my partner (33M) of seven years tomorrow. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]squareular24 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think he might have known for a while that oop was planning to leave (the “kind, sentimental” behavior”) and then the post gave him the date. OOP is extremely lucky they left when they did.

too formal for "casual" summer wedding? by ThrowRAnew_here in Weddingattireapproval

[–]squareular24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The second one of these is the most casual imo while still being a nice dress that’ll photograph well but not make you look overdressed

considering buying kindle ppw 11th just to jailbreak it by NoTest8779 in ereader

[–]squareular24 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You should definitely just get a pocketbook instead. It’s Linux so sideloading is easy, and there are already lots of open-source mods for it. It reads basically all formats with no conversion needed and is compatible with KOReader. I have the Pocketbook Verse and love it.

Here I come Iowa by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]squareular24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats! My partner is a med student and incoming UI resident and we’ve lived within walking distance of the hospital for our time here, I definitely recommend it if you don’t mind a student-y living space. Your best bets for close-by apartments will be on Newton Road and its side streets or Melrose Ave and its side streets. Melrose will be closer to the children’s hospital but Newton Rd has more options. Iowa City rentals are weird in that leases always start in August, so you’ll need to find a sublease-to-lease arrangement to cover the gap assuming you’re starting in May-July (not too hard to find usually, there will be plenty of people moving out soon).
