I'm an unemployed ND and at the moment librarian is my dream job. (I majored in economics at an honors college but I love a good database and my favorite hobby has always been organizing all the media in my house and making descriptive catalogs of them. I also spend way too much time at my public library.)

I've missed out on some applications for "clerical aide" positions but I'm hopeful that this will work out eventually and I'd like to teach myself both the Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress systems in preparation so I go in with an edge. But I can't find any resources online for learning this stuff! Does anyone know a good way to practice shelving books in preparation? I really want to get experience as a librarian and would even volunteer for free if I could find the opportunity.

Homies, I need your help. I used to drink anywhere from 1-3 sodas a day as a kid until I got IBS and became severely intolerant to HFCS. Then I only drank water and lots of it for ten years- until recently. I found out Target sells Mexican Coca-Cola, which is made with organic cane sugar and doesn't give me problems. Now I'm falling back into old habits and drinking about 4 12-oz bottles of this a week, and I suspect it'll increase if I find a source of other cane sugar drinks (such as Mexican Sprite.)

I need to keep myself from overindulging and get back to my hydration habits! What would you do?

To the PCP who keeps insisting all my symptoms are anxiety: I just took a PAI test, and while I *do* have a little dysthymia, I do not, in fact, have any anxiety to speak of. IT WAS A MYSTERY HEART CONDITION AND I AM NOT CRAZY.

It's the first diagnosis on my list and every time she's seen me since the first thing she asks is "So, how's the anxiety?" and I always tell her "Non-existent, as usual! 😊" and she gives me this LOOK like "riiiiiiiiiiiiiight 🤨"

SCREW YOU DEBORAH, I WAS RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME ✨

(FWIW I did finally convince her to refer me to a cardiologist last year and he went "there's a million things it could be but they all get treated by beta-blockers so here have some beta-blockers" and that fixed it so yay)

I started listening to BSB a few years ago when Amazon Music suggested their music for me. Thrifted one of their albums for a dollar because I liked two songs on it (the ones Amazon suggested) and figured it was a decent gamble. Got hooked and now I'm looking to educate myself further. I've only heard "Backstreet", "Millennium" (and "2.0" of course), and "Black/Blue", and I can't even tell you who's who in the group.

So two things- which album do I listen to next, and what's the best way for me to educate myself on the different personalities in the group?

Uploaded one of my original Logic Pro compositions to see what Suno made of it- completely original instrumental, original written lyrics (no recordings yet), hasn't been shared with a single soul except Suno and my laptop's external HDD where I store it.

Then Suno has the gall to tell me it "matches another work of art, please choose different audio"! 😂 Sir I can assure you it really doesn't- I should know, I WROTE THE THING.

Quick lil PSA for the fructose-sensitive: Target sells Mexican Coca-Cola, which is made with organic cane sugar and not HFCS. Thought I just couldn't tolerate soda for the last 12 years, turns out it was the HFCS and I'm able to drink Coke again with no problems. Best feeling ever.

My whole life I've always wanted a 3DS. Friend had one in highschool and I was so jealous. Think of all the games it plays- 3DS games AND regular DS games?! In the same console?! Unfathomable! 🤓

Anyway my parents never let me have one because I already had a Wii and 40+ games for it and video games are a waste of time anyway doncha know, so as a fresh adult I'm realizing I both have the freedom to buy one and lack the financial capabilities to do so. Since my first DS Lite just died spectacularly during a "simple" repair, I'd like to take the opportunity to upgrade. I've been looking for consoles that are around $50 on eBay, Craigslist, etc. and found nothing in my price range. I figured since it's a much older console it would be cheaper to find one than this but all the listings I can find are about $100 over my limit.

Be straight with me. Do I have unrealistic expectations here? Will I never find a console in my price range? Or am I just doing it wrong?
