ADHD, major depressive disorder, and bipolar 2.

Yea. Tired. All the time.

Well, our trip was in March so that’s perfect!

Ah that all makes sense.

Cancellations in particular suck, and are one reason I don’t fly budget airlines when possible. It nearly ruined the trip for my friends when they couldn’t get a flight out that night and put a damper on my birthday weekend for sure. I might mention to them the policy you pasted and see if they want to do anything about the extra few hundred they spent.

Thanks for the informative and high effort reply too! Really appreciate it.

This is in the US? I had a few friends get fucked with last moment cancellations for my birthday trip to Vegas and the airlines didn’t do shit. One, Frontier, had to be strong armed to get them on another flight and still charged them the premium for the new flight.

Neither. I want it on the front, right in the center.

I struggled with this a lot when I got a roommate last year that’s paying rent.

I’ve come to terms with it recognizing that we are supporting each other. I’m supporting them by providing them a stable and affordable place to live, and they’re supporting me by helping me make ends meet, especially in a time when I’m unemployed. I’m not profiting off of them or taking a living space from another family. I also plan to calculate the portion of equity they contribute to the mortgage and give it to them whenever I wind up selling.

I’ve always appreciated people who rent out rooms or expand their homes to let people rent a private space with airbnb.

I also don’t think VRBO, home away, house trip, and other companies that support this business model get enough visibility in the criticism against the model.

No this totally makes sense to me.

It doesn’t impact my experience of the story, but there is something to having the next page hidden behind the turn and knowing that it’s right there. When I read an ebook it’s like reading an article. The sensation is different and it loses a touch of excitement without that tactile feeling of ‘the next page’. Pages don’t matter in ebooks either. You adjust the text size and the ‘page’ count is suddenly radically different. I measure my progress in chapters or percentages now.

It makes sense to me why that wouldn’t work for some folks.

I only read fiction, so I always buy it pirate ebooks unless there’s a special edition of something that I am really excited about. I’ve bought all of Brandon Sanderson’s mystery novels in hardcover for example, and I buy the Stormlight books hardcover as well. I’d love to have the entire cosmere in hardcover, or better yet their special edition leather bound hardcovers (for the ones he’s done it with), but it’s just too expansive and expensive to justify.

In an ideal world, a physical copy includes a digital copy.

I’ve got the hardcover for his new mystery novel ordered. Can’t wait for it to arrive and to read it.

And Brandon Sanderson, who wrapped the series after Jordan died and is an amazing author himself.

I now use my porn account to engage with folks on my niche subs and race threads.

Damn, you’re lucky.

My promo deal is about to end but I’ve been paying $50/month for it for 2 years now.

Lmao I love it. That’s a great story. Thanks for sharing!

lol yea. It’s a reversed copy pasta. The original story is from the SR71’s perspective. It’s pet great both ways.

Yes and no. I think we all experience a lot more trauma than most people recognize and that we undersell the trauma we do acknowledge.

The thing is, life is made up of one trauma after another, often that we learn from. We are disposed to finding the silver lining and so we look at a lot of these negative experiences that do have a lasting impact and choose to address it with the positive outcomes. It’s just that some traumas aren’t as easily addressed and result in things like PTSD or cPTSD.

It’s not a matter of trauma being overused as a term so much an issue of how we define trauma.

Oh you haven’t seen this one? In jealous you are getting to read it for the first time today. It’s so good
