Oh I absolutely agree with you about the sequels as well. I tried reading the one that takes place more of like the Victorian era and just could not get into it

I have a moon as a harsh mistress rib tattoo of Simon Jester

I absolutely agree with your recommendation, but man if they’re looking for something short, the mistborn series is the opposite lol

Alright, hear me out. We go with the 10 months of 35 days and a special month of 15 days, but the 15 days is just one giant celebration. Just 15 days of nothing but arts and crafts and hanging out with friends.

There’s a really cool episode of the podcast Factually touching on what you’re talking about.

(Side note, I’ve never seen this website but I really dig that it has question and answer summaries on the bottom. That was super cool.)

Edit: also, as somebody who is disabled who can’t lean forward without intense pain, these wheelchairs would be hell.

Awesome, thank you for the update.

To add to your metaphor. The grocery store has also collected enough data on you to know exactly how much you’d be willing to pay for eggs versus how much your neighbor would be willing to pay for eggs. So they show you and your neighbor two different egg prices when you get to the cooler.

What does TFG mean? I keep trying to think of things, “that fucking guy”?

We’ve been having to have one of us join, Sometimes It takes up to an hour and a half for that one person to get in, And then we’re all able to join off that one person. But man it’s kind of sucked. I have like a very small window to play video games after I get the kiddo down for bed. And like four nights in a row it got to the point where I wouldn’t have had time to even do a 12 minute mission from having to wait for it to connect.

For a while when I had trailers enabled on Plex I would put the anti-piracy one up lol

Yeah I have 12 and a half hours in the game and most of that has been staring at a black screen. Waiting to see if it’ll load

God it was so awkward, it must have been like 2011 because I was freshly 21. And it was at this local bar. And everybody greeted eachother by " the narwhal bacon’s at midnight" and it was just fucking weird. For a while our local subreddit was running a monthly one and then it just kind of stopped.

One time I went to a local Reddit meet up. Yep, it was all that cringy

Cardiac support and ICD support. Those were two ones that I really found valuable after heart surgery and getting a pacemaker that exists on Reddit but I have not been able to find anywhere else. kind of lost a really important support structure to me when I left reddit. I know I could start one here but I’m just not the kind of person who is good at getting people to know about something that’s available.

I 100% agree, but is there any way we could kind of keep working to phase out retarded from common vocabulary. It’s just such a charged and unnecessary word to use as a pejorative.

Do you have any recommendations for a book on this topic? I’m super intrigued.

It’s possible Just wasn’t the flavor I was looking for at the time. I’ll give another go at some point. I hear great things from people so it’s probably just send me a thing

I really enjoyed the first and could not get into the second in the children of time series
