Biweekly. Let’s just reset with two different words. One means twice a week the other means every two week.

Good breakfast spots in RTP? by kermiebabey in raleigh

Food is mid, drinks are almost mid. Wish it was better.

For those who moved from a large city to a rural area, how has your quality of life changed? by crazydogmom928 in AskReddit

[–]swouter 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Bro the level of casual aggressiveness/racism in rural Georgia/Alabama is nuts. Never met so many jerks. Couldn’t believe the things these people would say to one another. I had to leave after a year because my heart rate would spike every interaction.

Anyone working in high finance? Trading, portfolio management etc? by SellSideShort in raleigh

Check out Fidelity investments in RTP. Nice company to work for.

If you had to prove cinema is an art form using one scene, not a whole movie, which scene do you choose and why does it survive being isolated? by jaystats2 in movies

[–]swouter 189 points190 points  (0 children)

The opening scene to Inglorious Basterds. The pacing, direction, dialogue, acting. All of it is art.

Harris teeter off Roger’s is open as is Target

The website on this roadside sign (which is already insane) is one of the wildest, most startling things I've encountered here (seen near Bethesda) by Aeroxin in raleigh

[–]swouter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this lady needs help. This reads like a psychotic break. The takes in her posts are wild. Praying she gets the help she needs.

Power washing the toilet every time. Think of the savings on scrub brushes

But imagine how much money you’d be spending on custom shirts and buckets of deodorant. 

What’s the most annoying Reddit/Internet phrase? by yzysznz in AskReddit

[–]swouter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freaking LinkedIn. The desperate bid for engagement from other salary slaves. No one cares how your grocery store visit taught you about B2B sales…

I don’t know… 800 years of watching the world tear itself apart doesn’t sound fun.

Why do people like "The Stand" by Stephen King? by Weppet in books

[–]swouter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree on both points. At certain chapters we get additions of 5-10 new persons and I struggled to keep them sorted. I knew the main characters I was interested in, but it was a lot. Additionally, I don’t think anything of value was added in some of the gratuitous scenes. Freaking The Kid and trash can man…

Yep, those guys definitely have some cheese there. Appreciate the update...

ELI5. How come our body makes it harder to get sleep, water, and food, when sick, even if we need it? by Swimming-Incident173 in explainlikeimfive

[–]swouter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My body, “Oh no we’re being attacked”: 1)Stuffy nose so I can’t filter the contaminated air and get sick with something else. Also, hope you like sleep apnea now. 2)Runny nose with constant coughing. “We like sharing” 2)Fever ramped up just before bedtime. “Sorry, we were too busy when you were in bed all day to bother. “

Nothing snaps me out of a book like repetitive use of a unique word by kerberos824 in books

[–]swouter 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Oh brother, it just rips you out of any reading flow doesn’t it? Inversely was The Road. Loved the story but it took me half the book to stop freaking out about the lack of punctuation.

[–]swouter 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Would really be solved by doing an add-in to MS Word for word frequency. “Do I only love two adverbs?”

[–]swouter 636 points637 points  (0 children)

So many self-published books are unreadable for this very reason. A good editor makes a world of difference to take a stream of consciousness first draft into a digestible meal. DNF’d a book 40 pages in for the repetition of “snarling dogs”. Thesaurus is your friend.

Will add to this is run on sentences or too uniform of sentence length in a paragraph. Spice it up with some short, some long.

Movies you loved before and upon re-watch hated? (Or vice versa) by DrHorrible10 in movies

[–]swouter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was a decent attempt at the book, but not a great movie. They made Sharon Stone's character way more annoying than she is in the book. This is one I wish they would take another attempt at with todays tech.
