I am on season 3 and I just feel like in all the relationships the flirting is so cringe and unnatural. Is this how married people flirt? Even the non-married people like Erik and the lady he met at the bar, it’s just so cringe haha.
The teenagers too but, I feel like that is more expected as they are young and no experience and lack social skills.
OMG Kyungsoo announced his tour yesterday and I happen to be in Seoul during the Seoul concert dates!!!. I can’t believe it! I have been an exo-l since pre-debut and Kyungsoo is my bias.
Does anyone know how I can buy domestic tickets? And how I can get verified for presale?
Hi all, I will be travelling Japan solo for 1 month in October. I plan to do 10 days in Hokkaido and it would be my for the first time there. I have been to Japan once before, but Hokkaido is really confusing me as everything is so spread out. Please help!
I originally wanted to just stay in Sapporo and do day trips from there because I do not like changing hotels too much with the packing and unpacking. And since I am traveling solo I would have preferred staying in a more lively area that is not too isolated at night. However, after much research it seems like I would be limiting myself as everything is quite spread out in Hokkaido.
My biggest worry is am I trying to do too much? I like travelling leisurely I could add 1-2 days to my stay if anything. Is there anything I should take out or anything I am missing that is a must see.
Day 1 Sapporo (arrive on a monday on Oct 5th)
Day 2 Otaru day trip , stay in Sapporo
Day 3 Noboribetsu day trip (is Noboribetsu worth it?) stay in Sapporo
Day 4 Head to Ashikawa, check in and rent a car to Furano
Day 5 Beiei day trip (stay in ashikawa)
Day 6 Daisetzuan national park day trip (stay in Askihawa) return car (Oct 10th would it be too snowy to hike?)
Day 7 head to Lake toya through Sapporo (using public transportation), stay in Lake toya
Day 8 lake toya
Day 9-10 head to hakodate, go around Hakodate
Day 11- fly to Nagano from Hakodate
After Hokkaido I plan to go around Nagano prefecture
I started reading the cosmere this past year. I started with Way of Kings and read up to Oathbringer. And then I started seeing posts on how to read the cosmere and best order to read it etc.
Anyway picked up Mistborn as I thought it would be a good break from the Stormlight archives as well.
Personally, I really see why this is the book that has made so many dive into the Cosmere world. It was way easier to follow than stormlight archives and kept me on my toes. And Kelsier and his crew really grew on me. The magic system was pretty cool and easy enough to understand. I liked seeing how Mistings who had all their life to use just one type of Allomancy really used their skills.
First of all, Kelsier died?! I really had to do a double take and reread that part because it just happened so easily. I couldn’t believe he was actually dead especially after defeating the Inquisitor. Also I find it quite weird so many things were not known like how to kill an inquisitor even though it seemed quite simple. I feel like we had so much more to see about him and his interaction with the crew. Also he literally destroyed a whole plantation, so I feel like he never showed his full strength even while fighting with the Inquisitor.
What happened to Yeden, did he die? Did he get captured? It seems no one mentions him again after he took most of the army to a raid. He just disappears.
Vin, I feel like her adjustment into the team and into nobility was quite easier than I expected. I mean I guess us humans adapt easily but considering the years of abuse and living off the streets you wouldn’t think she would be so surprised when she would go into skaa slums and all that. Also I wish there was more depth to her thinking Elend was a good guy other than “I feel it, he is different”. Was her mom actually a terrisman? Could she be a mix of noble and terrisman blood? Considering she can do the same things as the Lord Ruler.
At some point I understood the Lord Ruler was Rashek especially when Sanderson really started to emphasize how much he hated the Hero of Ages, so I was not surprised there and how he was so different from the person who was writing the text. So pretty early on I caught on to that the Lord Ruler was not the same person. Also how is this ska rebellion, new government going to hold without Kelsier. To be honest, the other crew members were not as invested in the goal as Kelsier. Yes they all had their trauma from the Lord Ruler and were skaa but really the reason they were in it was for Kelsier. I guess I need to read other books to find out, but the job is done so what next?
Overall, cant wait to read the next book which I already have on hand!
Hi I am new to SEO and I am in the works of creating a travel blog. I already have the domain and website setup. I am writing out my 1st blog post and I am hoping to monetize my blogs in the long run. As I am just starting out should I invest in a paid SEO search platform or would using a free SEO platform to test out getting visibility should be enough?
The idea of the business is to create small & intimate pop-up events. I feel people are craving for connection and meeting people in more organic ways or just looking to have fun outside of work. I would make local events like flower bouquet making, or cozy pumpkin painting, or blind date with a book night. I would work with possibly cafes or something to start out and they would be ticketed events. I would get the so supplies myself and the money for this would come out of ticket price and I would also hope to make a profit out of the ticket price. My motivation for this business is that I too am sick of staring at a screen all day from work and want to be able to create genuine experience with people from all over.
Scaling this would be maybe then be extending services to corporate events possibly. But I think I am ready to take that jump into entrepreneurship.
Does this seem like a good business idea and what should I consider in the long term? Is this a business that I can grow?
For context I am 27 F and I work as a data analyst. I am grateful for my job, I WFH and I love the flexibility truly which makes it hard to let go because to be honest its comfortable in certain ways. I have worked in the office and commuted before, so I know that is not the issue here because I much rather WFH if its between commuting to an office to do the same job.
Since I work as a data analyst all my work is on the computer, but truly I feel like my brain chemistry has been altered by the constant screen time, I have developed severe dry eyes, my brain fog has increased, I feel unable to concentrate on regular everyday tasks. And to be honest the work is just not fulfilling.
I just can't see myself doing this for the rest of my life and feel like my life consists of a screen. And not to mention the pressure to use AI for all my workflows now and basically become a mini engineer. I just don't find it fulfilling to use AI to optimize my workflow because whats the point then. Great I can chat into a chatbox or use claude code to do the bulk of my work for me or whatever but then when do I use my brain.
I just feel like there is more to life and ideal scenario would be to travel the world and make money off of that (but I don't want to become an influencer) or idk become my own boss atleast. Open a coffee shop and interact with people and life idk. IDK what I would be doing if was not in corporate America. I just feel stuck and part of a system that is hard to escape from. Anyone else feel this way?
