been watching a lot of Big Bang Theory and it has rekindled my old geek passtime of reading comics & TPBs. there was a graphic novel thread about a year ago, but i thought the topic deserved expansion. do any readers on here still trek down to the store, or download digitally for tablets, maybe just pirate CBR files? still trying to fill in the gaps on my Jack Kirby Fourth World collection, and damn they went up in value quickly (hardcovers). it's so hard to keep up with Marvel & DC continuity, what do the fans on here read? indies, manga? recommendations welcome.

Couldn’t find one, so here goes! Warning: talk could become candid and triggering. Proceed at your own risk. Got a mental illness? What’s it like? Are you okay right now? What drugs are you on? I have bipolar disorder and it’s pretty awful. I’ve been hospitalized 11 times for suicidal problems and even though I made it through college my life is sort of a mess in general. On the plus side I get a bunch of shit done when manic! Any other bipolar kidz in this zone? If you’re in an emotional or suicidal crisis, please call your regional emergency line (911 in the US, 999 in the UK) or your regional suicide hotline (800-273-8255 in the US).

does this mean they will become more or less relevant and who cares? really. other than people who work there.. do people read pitchfork? why am i posting this? i don't know. i'm bored. my back hurts. maybe this is is important news to someone. if not pitchfork who will rate albums 5 when they deserve a 10? someone pull the plug. https://consequence.net/2024/01/pitchfork-gq/amp/ https://x.com/maxwelltani/status/1747693175886533044?s=20

Having been a lurker on watmm for quite sometime, I thought it best to start a thread to get a feel for this community. That being said, what are your creative goals for 2024?

Sharing is caring. 08/01/10 I'm on my hands and knees cleaning someone's carpet. I'm out on his driveway and there's a car parked on the carpet. It doesn't hinder my work as a cleaner. As I was coming to a finish my dad points out that I missed a large spot. He was pretty nice about it but I felt frustrated that he was telling me how I was wrong or didn't do a good enough job. I then explain to him that I have 3 or 4 more big jobs to take care of - it's already 1:00 AM and I still have to drive out to Indianapolis (3 hour drive) and do some more work there. He seemed quite pleased that I finally had so much work to do. IRL he's a bit of a workoholic and I'm a m…

I have been looking for something to do between sending out inevitably unsuccessful job applications and losing my dole cash on cheap wine. To escape catching a horrible strain of cabin fever I decided that it would be a nice idea to go out on an hour long walk everyday. Can anyone recommend good audiobooks to keep me company on these journeys and distract me from the casual violence enacted on the streets of South London?

Guess I'm looking for some advice, tips, stories, and do's and don'ts from people who have went through this. The good and the bad. Within the past couple months my wife (whom I love very much) left me and is seeking a divorce. This is all very jarring and confusing - and very new to me and my family as no one has went through it. I tried for very hard for a couple weeks to see about reconciling or making it work but she has refused and said 0% chance of that. So we will be trying to do an amicable "Dissolution of Marriage". Which in America pretty much means you decide on how you will split everything prior to bringing it to a court, and then it's quickly done.…

wanted to make this for a while ago, the idea is the opposite of the brilliantly depressing and now popular fwp thread - post your stupid, insignificant and primarily first world achievements and successes. i (meaning sdcard recovery program) just managed to recover most of photos of that indian massive bathing thing (Kumbh Mela?) that were deleted by indian custom authorities (allegedly, because there were a lot of nudie shots) for my mom's friend. not only it's a first world success on its own but it's more like a victory of first world technology over shitty and incompetent third world indian authorities.

plz share experiences with partners past & present I have discovered: listen more than you talk, ask about mundane things, then ask profound things (this may or may not plz any given lady) take them places where they can dress for the occasion, window shop even if you hate it. and get used to buying nothing in art galleries. they will in turn get used to you buying 12 books or records instead of one at the cool store you pretend not to haunt, movie + dinner is a lame date unless you both love getting high and being weird in public, then it's pretty great, trim and polish your fingernails ffs, ask them how they get off when…

After seeing so many threads and photos of bad looking burgers that look nothing like the advertised product, I thought it was time to start a thread with photos of what your fast food/junk food looks like. Here's my Double Quarter Pounder /w Cheese from yesterday. It's not even advertised or pictured on any of the menus so it looks better than the advertised promo photo by default.
