If it helps, read the first one and if you don’t like it, you don’t have to finish it or the series. It stands alone decently well. I know that’s obvious, but I often don’t do things because I feel like starting something mean I have to finish it. Books, games, movies, etc

I reread 1984, Animal Farm and Farenheight 451 recently, for no particular reason, but they are more accurate and depressing than ever about current events.

Highly recommended. But be prepared to be angry or depressed.

I completed the Wheel of Time last year and liked the Sanderson style of the latter books and am now on book 3 of Stormlight Archive and love it so far. It took me a good half the first book to “get it” or “get into it” rather, but now I see the vision and am enjoying it all. Planning on the other Cosmere series and books after.

Sanderson is definitely one of the better sci-fi/fantasy writers I’ve read.

Learning about the history and timeline of things sped my deconstruction considerably. Namely the Council of Nicea (sp?) where a group of men decided what to add or remove or change. The King James stuff. And I forget the names, but there were other places where they have found copies of the original or older manuscripts and it paints an interesting story that is NOT what is presented in present day as “the unchanging truth that has always been”, but it paints more of a “men made all this up or there was some original story that maybe did happen and it has been changed a million times through the ages like a game of telephone to the point that not much remains of the truth.” Sorta story.

Also, an epistle is the wife of an apostle. 🤣

I’m on book 3 of the Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson. It’s fantasy, it’s weird in a lot of ways, but it’s well written for the most part and enjoyable to read. It feels like reading an unfolding story of people in a parallel universe where things are half the same and half completely alien and different, but to them, it’s commonplace, and I like that.

We had the Boston Tea Party and they threw all the tea into the harbor.

I think we should name this one the Gulf of Mexico MAGA Party and act accordingly.

But gently so as not to scratch them.

There’s a big difference between getting a paper cut and being stabbed with a rusty sword. Neither one may be what you want, but telling people with a sword sticking out of their chest some platitude about “Yeah, but papercuts suck too” makes you sound like an absolute idiot.

There are approximately 146,000 people named Mario in the US alone. Any one of them could do the FUNNIEST THING.

LMAO even our two comments discussing the very issue are being down voted. Good job proving our point guys…

Several times now I have had my comments deleted for “hate speech” for criticizing political actions or calling out hypocrisy or blatant lies or misinformation.

Then a comment in that same post will be cheering and applauding and laughing at the inhumane and ethnic cleansing taking place. They will proudly say “I voted for this and hope they all suffer” and it stays.

I don’t care at all about my comments, per se, but it is depressing thinking how much that probably happens all the time. How many legitimate comments get removed because of a mod’s bias, while actual hate speech and misinformation stays.
