I do not have the attention span for it. I have real friends i barely have energy for. I usually just stay on my half of the venn diagram but this stuff was making its way over to me.

I've seen people get really weird at streamers before. The dog video looks bad but there are other possibilities for what happened and I don't hate people for fun. I wanted to make sure before forming an opinion.

I still don't have a firm dog opinion but yeah this was not acceptable to me.

My appetite was already bad so I didn't notice a change there but I got a LOT of reading done and drove everybody up a wall at work.

I loved that crap. I can REALLY see why they banned it tho. I forgot I took an herbalife once and drank a 20 ounce red mt dew and everyone thought I was OD'ing on something. Which. Kinda.

Was fantastic for my asthma tho and I was at my most functional.

The thing is if a book turns out not to be what I want right now I just stop reading it. This is always an option. And yet this thread exists.

Her worldbuilding was absolutely bonkers and I loved it. I hung on for a good while... but eventually the book where they didn't solve the mystery but it was 75% really bad sex wrecked it for me.

Sex is great... if you can write it well.

I got radicalized by the tv show Eureka. Which was good and I liked it EXCEPT nobody stayed in a relationship for more than two episodes. They took will they/won't they to new heights and I developed strong opinions about relationship maintenance in fiction: that there should be some.
