Thanks for this (I'm not the op). While I tend to agree that doomscrolling doesn't help my mental health, I'm not sure how to square burying my head in the sand vs not paying attention to the crazy shit going on.
I don't expect an answer or anything, just venting. I feel powerless and my taxes are apparently going to fund a concentration camp.
Wizard's First Rule is the only tolerable book, if barely. They're all thinly veiled (not thinly veiled) fetish writing, or high school level political theory.
At a certain point it's clear that Terry fired enough editors that the remaining ones stopped trying.
This movie is soulless dogshit.
I think the ending is awesome too! Glad you liked it. It's just as good the second time through, just give it a year or so. :)
I thought they all really started popping up as a counter movement against the BLM signs. At least, that seems to be the implication around here.
Hey no pressure, if you remember to drop an "I liked it!", that's all I meant. :)
Yeah it's probably my "pick just one" best book. It's a wild ride! I'm interested in what you think when you finish!
Three Musketeers is different but I also really liked it. It's very amusing/funny.
Up production of gas to profit off the surge in demand seems likely.
I agree with you actually, death is an inevitability and we're obsessed with pretending it's not.
However from a civilization standpoint, maybe we can come up with some sort of alternative than letting folks pass away alone and not be found for weeks. Allowing people to choose the time and manner of their deaths is a start--who wants to painfully die from a metastatic liver tumor?
TST is doing the lord's work b/c the christofascists have lost the plot.
It's not just boring, it's a lifetime of anxiety and self hatred for breaking any number of arbitrary rules.
Jesus turned water into wine for a party where they ran out of booze.
Yeah, I've heard the code is a total mess, maybe that's a blocker.
