there wolf posted:We've actually had talks in that thread about how long into the series it takes to realize you're reading terrible objectivist propaganda. Consensus is that book one is enough plain, WHT knock-off fantasy that you could plausibly miss it. I remember trying to read the first book but then got put off after the first few chapters by just how bad the writing was. Like they were under this sentient tree and our hero is trying to comfort the fantasy waifu female lead and it got really cringey from there

Cat Mattress posted:Wooly-headed teen?  That should be WoT, Wheel of Time.And that "people are stupid and will believe anything" is on the list of reasons I'm glad Game of Thrones changed the entire genre. Edge for the edgelord grimdark poo poo is annoying, but a million authors trying to be Terry Pratchett and coming out Peirs Anthony is not missed.

I still don't get why people think Game of Thrones came up with characters who exist in the plot solely to be gruesomely killed to raise the stakes. We've had redshirts for ages.

The first book is mostly generic fantasy, although not very good generic fantasy, with only a few A friend recommended it to me all through college (well college for me, pretend to be going to class while spending mom and dad's money before flunking out for him) and gifted me a copy. I sold it to a used bookstore a few years later unread. Dude later became a 9/11 Truther, Sandy Hook Truther, and half-assed redpill prepper.

That Payne comic is amazing. That he can unironically hold that opinion really drives home the notion that to be against the "progressives" is to be regressive. Straight up needs to be pulled into the future kicking and screaming. Payne's the guy arguing against music in a can.

I'm really hoping that Takei turns out to be completely innocent, he was a role model for lots of people. The Hacks will tear into him regardless.

Wikipedia posted:In November 2012, the conservative political news and opinion website Daily Caller published allegations that Menendez had contact with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic. The allegations were promoted by Republican Party operatives, who arranged interviews for two women accusing Menendez of patronizing prostitutes with ABC News and the Daily Caller. However, ABC News and other news organizations such as The New York Times, and the New York Post declined to publish the allegations, viewing them as unsubstantiated and lacking credibility. One of the women who had accused Menendez stated that she had been paid to falsely implicate the Senator and had never met him. The Daily Caller says this woman was not interviewed for their story. Menendez's office described the allegations as "manufactured" by a "right-wing blog" as a politically motivated smear. On March 18, 2013 police in the Dominican Republic announced that three women had said they had been paid $300–425 each to lie about having had sex with Menendez. He's on trial right now for bribery anyway.

Well, this year's COP is currently taking place in Cologne, so maybe that's why he feels his precious vroom vrooms are threatened? Though I kinda doubt Payne is intelligent enough to actually be aware of things happening.

Please don't. Make sure the VA remains funded, work towards addressing mental health issues, PTSD, and transition after ETS. These thank yous are as effective as 'thoughts and prayers' and they don't want thanks.
