audiobooks or podcasts

[(Anonymous)]

So I have a 10hour (fingers crossed that's all it is) solo drive coming up and I thought I'd try out some audiobooks or podcasts. I'm not usually a listener as my attention span wanders when I've tried them previously but I thought a drive would be a good way to try again.

Any topic or genre! Just as long as you found it super engaging the best of the best "even people who don't like audiobooks/podcasts would be into this" type of thing.

Re: audiobooks or podcasts

I find 372 pages we'll never get back hilarious. It's done by Mike Nelson and another guy and it's basically MST3K/Rifftrax only for books instead of movies, and you don't even have to have read the books.

World War Z. Get the unabridged version. Tons of voice actors (Alan Alda, Frank Darabont, Mark Hamill, Nathan Fillion, Maz Jobrani, Alfred Molina, Kal Penn, Simon Pegg, Rob Reiner, Henry Rollins, Martin Scorsese, John Turturro). And since it is a collection of interviews from different people, it is okay if you zone out for one. Plus, it is just an amazing audio production.

I also listen to a ton of podcasts but I'd need to know what you are interested in.

My mom and I used to take road trips regularly pre-covid and we listened to a lot of audiobooks, but the big stand out was the last trip - I bought stand up comedy by Dara Ó Briain and my mom could Not Get Enough. I actually had to tell HER to turn it down.

If you like history podcasts, Lions Led By Donkeys and Dan Carlin's Hardcore History are both very good.

Casefile is imo the best true crime podcast. Tells the crimes as compelling narratives with little to no bias and no extraneous commentary. Most episodes are standalone as well.

If you would like a true crime story that isn't about murder, I would highly recommend their 3 parter episode on the Silk Road darknet drug website. All up it's about 3.5 hours long. The last sequence in the final episode is legitimately edge of your seat stuff.

Femslash where at least one character is a villain

[philstar22]

What the title says. Looking for nice Femslash (especially NSFW, but I'll take it all) where one or more of the characters involved is a villain.

Re: Femslash where at least one character is a villain

[greghousesgf]

do you count Amber from House as a villain?

Porny Thai BL shows?

[(Anonymous)]

In the secrets you'd like to make thread someone mentioned Thai BL that's basically just softcore/hardcore porn.

Any recs for that types of Thai BL? A good story is a plus, but I'll be honest, if the sex scenes keep my interest I'll forgive weak plotting.

And someone could tell me where to find said shows that would be great too. The few Thai BL I've watched before was all available on YouTube.

Travel advice (TMI kinda)

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone on fs been to places like South East Asia, Sri Lank, India and the like? I’m contemplating going but due to a bit of IBS problem I’m not sure how well I’d do with the squat toilets. Are there equal western toilets to squat? Or are they only in 5 star/western influenced places?

Re: Travel advice (TMI kinda)

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not an expert, but western toilets weren't hard to find when I spent a few days in Phuket Tailand. They're probably more common around touristy areas.

Re: Travel advice (TMI kinda)

[(Anonymous)]

I've been to Malaysia and Singapore, and it really depends on where you're going and how used they are to tourists but most places (and not just the 5 star places) have western style toilets available. It might not be "equal" in the sense that you'll have 50% of each in any given location, though. But I don't think you'll have any trouble finding them as long as you're not spending most of your time in very rural places where they haven't updated the bathroom facilities.

Re: Travel advice (TMI kinda)

[(Anonymous)]

Someone once told me that they took a folding toilet seat with them when they went to India, the kind you can get for camping, and just placed it over the top. I don't know how convenient they are to carry around, I think this person was with a tour group. It might be worth looking into?

Advice with social anxiety

[(Anonymous)]

I have a online friend who I've regularly been talking to most days, though recently she's shut me out for almost two weeks, which is abnormal for us.

She told me she has social anxiety earlier, and I don't want to pressure her into talking to me if she doesn't want to, but I do want to make it clear that I'm free to talk to when she's ready? I'm not sure what the best thing to do in this case, msg or just wait it out ? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Re: Advice with social anxiety

[(Anonymous)]

My friend and I both have general anxiety, so we have a habit of just sending each other memes or pictures of cats or whatever to let the other know we're thinking of them, even if we can't talk.

Re: Advice with social anxiety

[(Anonymous)]

You could always send a short message saying basically what you said here. "Hey I don't want to pressure you but I haven't heard from you lately and that's not our norm so I'm just checking in and letting you know no pressure but I'm here if/when you want to talk."

Re: Advice with social anxiety

[(Anonymous)]

Short message via the usual route you use when talking, and keep it simple. Just a hey, I've been thinking about you or hey, here's a cute pic/funny meme/interesting article/cool book that made me think of you/reminded me of some stuff in our shared history. Maybe a very brief update on what you've been up to. I find it easiest to NOT ask any direct questions that might pressure a response, so instead of "How are you?" it's "Hope things are cool with you", etc. etc.

If you want to be more explicit, then go ahead and say, no pressure to respond if you're not up to it, just wanted to say hi and let you know I'm here if you need me.
