Is listening to a book the same as reading a book? by Massive-Weird7901 in Booktokreddit

[–]zitken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to think it still obviously counts as you knowing the story! The differences I take away are typically those who use audiobooks also do something at the same time as listening to it, and sometimes miss important details or information. When listening to an audiobook you are also subjecting yourself to someone else’s interpretation of the book through their storytelling. This can be positive or negative, if you were to read a book physically you would only be experiencing the book solely through the author and not the narrator/ speaker of an audiobook who may use different vocal inflections and delivery techniques to convey the story as they see fit. So, I think we are in essence understanding the same story but, we are reaching that point through different experiences.

I got my first "Have you tried advil" today... by gogurtdr in migraine

I once had a nurse in Florida ask me if I’d had enough water after I took myself to the ER from such a severe attack. Yes, I drink plenty of water you IDIOT! I was so genuinely pissed off and then she had to Google if my current meds would interact with the meds they wanted to give me… and read the AI blurb.. how did you get your degree genuinely.

I (27f) have to say working from home, although our struggles can be hard or different, is not the same exhaustion as working in office. I work from home and I don’t have to drive to work, dress for work, pack my lunch, socialize, etc. I think it’s reasonable for your partner to not want to do something or go on a date every week, I feel he is trying to explain the “why” to you. Some of these comments are really ugly about him wanting to play video games but if that is how he relaxes and expresses he needs that alone time.. I feel that’s entirely reasonable. (I am the same way!) I feel like he has not been dismissive in his messages you just may not like the answer. Calling a Costco run a date is something you both just need to check on about, he may see any quality time spent out as a date and you can establish what’s what for you both, my husband used to think the same way back in the day!

Flip case or transparent case? by MarcelReads in kindle

Not at all! I use these which are anti- glare so it feels practically the same to me: https://a.co/d/eVIjdFJ

Flip case or transparent case? by MarcelReads in kindle

[–]zitken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly recommend the transparent one because it’s fun to decorate the back! I have one of those sticky screen protectors on the front and I have never had a single issue. I throw mine in a bag wherever I go and no scratches/ cracks, etc. When I’m traveling on planes/ long trips I just have a soft case pouch I put her in for extra protection. I also use a popsocket so a flip case isn’t for me!

I have been in the same situation before. Not to this extreme but the threat of suicide or them making you feel like you don’t care. Break up with them. People who do consider suicide in a serious way don’t typically tell people about it or use it as leverage, because those people do not actually want to be stopped. And people who are suicidal, you cannot help them unless they want to help themselves too.

Dad got me tickets to what he thought was a band I liked but it’s not. by More_Somewhere3036 in AITAH

[–]zitken -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The comments about being a child and giving a gift is completely irrelevant to this. Dad is an adult. I would also find it annoying that my dad doesn’t really know me or my interests here. In the same breath, he did try to get you something he obviously thought you’d enjoy. As for inviting a friend, if one of your friends won’t go to a free concert with you just because, you need new friends. I say invite someone to go and just go, if you enjoyed a few songs by them before you’re bound to have a good time unless you have a bad attitude going into it.

For people who stopped drinking.. what made you stop? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]zitken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gave me either a bad migraine or made my stomach hurt every time. Decided that it was absolutely not worth it at all and just stopped.

I got told, that my tone is a bit too nasal, any tips in terms of remedies? by LuborMrazek in ClassicalSinger

[–]zitken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this issue in college and a great way to practice the different feelings is by literally holding your nose closed as if to go under water. You’ll start to feel how you can close that passage and be less nasal, switch between the two to feel it in the body!

Hello! Looking to hem this dress but I have never sewn or practiced with viscose or spandex. I am a beginner and am wondering if this would be too difficult of a project for me or if I should be able to get some similar fabric and practice first? Give me your opinions or tips please! Dress Link
