You’re putting too much pressure on it.

I had the same issue, until I realised it was just a series of novels, with sarcastically minded, modern characters, that happened to be in a fantasy setting.

So they’re able and willing to point out the obvious absurdity of the world and its rules. To the extent that the world is flat, and floating on the back of a turtle. And everyone on the planet knows and accepts this as fact, because it’s literally true.

And he was one of the first to do this. Douglas Adam’s did a similar thing with space in A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy around the same time.

Now, with all of that in mind, if you don’t like the guys writing style, no amount of love from other people can ever force you to enjoy it.

NOT pooping their pants in public …. again, isn’t really an “accomplishment”

It’s was just a prank dude!

Don’t…. don’t give me hope

And …. Godwin’s Law for the win.

You kept dancing around the point, but you finally committed and were able to bring up Hitler in what seems to be 4 moves during a conversation about oil.

Well done.

I’m currently pulling for Irish re-unification and the great SF riot in 2024…

At this point I’m of the “fuck it, let’s see how much Trek gets right” opinion.

An individual is not a lemming, no. But people? People are scared, stupid, lemmings who will follow the crowd, almost every time.

We’re social creatures, designed to work in groups. The downside (or upside I guess) is that people do follow the crowd.

No I mean a source that is easily and clearly placed in front of me that I can still complain about not being the “correct” sources. /s

Is it for p0rn watching? I feel like with the current Temporary Speaker of The House, it would be for p0rn watching

Now that is a B1tchin’ cane.

SPHINX!

It’s a nice close to the whole thing. Plus you can then rewatch the whole thing again looking for how it subtly ties everything together.
