Which other series? I can still remember when I was a kid and the last Harry Potter book came out. OMG, I felt so lost.

I tend to take Noam Chomsky's stand on it. They're is functionally very little difference between the two parties, but because of the republican party's refusal to accept climate change, it makes them the single most dangerous organization in the history of human life on this planet. Couple that with their absolutely shit social policies, their inept economic policies and... Yeah. There's little difference, but it's enough of a difference to keep us slaves to this system.

I'm unfortunate enough to live in a deep red state, so my vote doesn't count in a general election. I voted for Stein, because why not? I hoped she'd get the 5 percent and the green party could get federal funding. If I lived in a state where my vote actually counted in a general, I would have voted for Hillary, because the Republican party is the single most dangerous organization in history.

God this system sucks.

In my early 30s now, and I haven't loved America for several years. 2016 was genuinely eye opening for this former Democrat. Watching the party I had supported since childhood, that I knew as the left most thing going, eat one of its own, absolutely tear itself to pieces to prevent even a semblance of a decent healthcare system... It broke the blinders, y'know? Once that happened it got me looking at things with a more critical eye, and when you do that, when you look at just about any aspect of this country with anything other than Rose white and blue tinted glasses, holy shit. It becomes real hard to love real fast.

Honestly, I love it. I'm really embracing this whole "the jank is a feature" thing. It feels more... Real.

Being a dick.

Thank you!

Just curious, why did you number from 10 to 19? Lol

Honestly, I'll be devastated when the series is concluded. The idea of no more dresden, ever. Ah. Breaks my heart. But I hate endings. I'm the type that wants things to go on for as long as possible.

They're not really similar, but Dresden is so good. Definitely check it out!

Alas, no, Dharma as in the philosophical concept. Though now I really wish I'd intended the double meaning. I loved Lost. Lol.

The Dresden Files is tied with The Dark Tower series as my favorite series. It gets progressively better as it goes along. I hope you'll love it. It's amazing.

Sadly I'm only reading a textbook for class right now. But I'm about to start A Stitch In Time, the Garak/star trek novel.

You need to also actively harm society and be a blight on the human race.

To your second question, the direction of clockwise is mostly influenced by sundials. In the northern hemisphere the shadows move in a clockwise direction, and so the early clocks made in the northern hemisphere mimicked that. In the southern hemisphere it's naturally reversed, but because so much of that hemisphere is either empty ocean or colonized lands, the clocks move in the same direction. Bolivia had a sort of flash in the pan moment in the news about a decade back for reversing their clock direction on a big central clock (think like big ben) as a way of staking their independence from a colonial past.

On the first question, I have no idea. But in Sweden they use terms that translates to "with the sun" and "against the sun" but I don't remember what they are without googling it.

If you don't mind me asking, are you straight? I ask because every queer person I know, myself included, absolutely picked up on Garak's queer coding, but most of the straight people I know who watched it during it's original run (or shortly after) didn't.
