Honestly, I would recommend the audiobook over the book; having someone else figure out how to say the special names makes it much easier to keep track of them in your mind, I find

The comparison is even more apt when you remember that the official Reddit app also used to be the most popular and great 3rd-party app called AlienBlue, which was purchased from 1 guy and rebranded a decade ago.

It's pretty clear that the reason why the official Reddit app isn't good is because a good experience for their users isn't their goal.

In Canada, they typically pick one or two last names out of four for the kid. Some adults decide to go by just one of their last names too

I mean, Substack lit all the benefit of the doubt I had for them on fire with their previous response.

This new action doesn't restore that, but all things being equal, I do want nazi shitheads to be de-platformed and have their funding cut off.

I think one can both acknowledge that they finally did a move in the correct direction and still think that they suck overall

Chickpea curry is made entirely with pantry items and is very delicious. You can throw in non-pantry items if you have them but they are not necessary

Spam musubi is a popular snack in Hawaii that's also entirely pantry food. I love spam but not everyone does; if you want pantry meals though chances are you would be okay with it.

Obviously canned soups are a good pantry meal source, no special recipe there

Flaked ham or tuna cans with Mayo & relish (or chopped celery if you have them) are delicious to eat on any type of crackers

That's what I can think of for now haha

I find that this backfires sometimes because many people don't seem to have any hobbies.

In the context of an interviewer, I sometimes ask "can you teach me something cool about one of your interests in 5 min?" It's not the same context obviously but you learn a lot about a person quickly that way. Bonus point is, I learn cool stuff about new things I'm probably not familiar with haha

It's pretty weird to be basically shilling for brands in here but Nexcare bandages are superior to band-aids in pretty much every way; i agree that band-aids beat generic though

You can, although probably should not, use semicolons; they can be used to join related statements that could, very frequently, also stand on their own.
