It's great! The only things I've noticed is that I don't think the spoiler tags work correctly, and I can't post gifs from the built in gif search (I get errors saying "could not upload image".

This is Haley's plan. I honestly don't know how Kamala vs Halley would go down. I assume the Whitehouse would be on fire by the end of November.

Well, call it a fan theory. It's not like I have proof.

I was reading them early enough that I remember waiting for Winters Heart to come out, so I had time to lament his decisions in between each book after that 🤣

Rothfuss!!! Get of Lemmy and write dammit!

I tell people this about wheel of time. It was originally supposed to be a trilogy and then they all saw $$$ and went "JUST KIDDING" on that ending and wrote 11 more books.

See, Rothfuss made a Mary Sue. Since the story is being told by the guy the story is about, after the fact, to someone who the narrator has no respect for, Rothfuss has an out: He can let Kvothe keep telling his story and then out it all as complete bullshit, or he can let it be just an embellished truth and then let us learn exactly why Kvothe is essentially in hiding after living such a fantastical life - either way Kvothe gets his punishment / redemption and we learn about what real tragedies have befallen him. This story is deep and good.

What he cannot do is pretend that all that ACTUALLY happened, and that Kvothe went on to kill a king and retired to an easy life as an in keeper. That story would suck hard ass and make everyone's eyes roll out of their heads.

I'm convinced he wrote #2 and is basically waffling over how to turn it into #1, or arguing with his publisher over it, because he knows it's inherently bad.

Plot twist: Adam's earthlings were probably mostly Golgafrinchans.

I don't see it.

He Godwin'd his own rant. Incredible . It's like watching an LLM devolve until it starts repeating numbers. Are we sure this guy isn't riddled with brain parasites, or perhaps is just a parasite himself?

That "article" was pure solipsism. Ego distilled until it's flammable.

summary: The world is doomed, we might have been able to do something if long-dead people had done different things, and yeah, we should definitely not try anything new because it'll disadvantage us against Enemies in the coming collapse wars (which the author failed to realize would be meaningless anyways in the face of the aforementioned global collapse). The author also alludes to solutions they never posit while complaining no one listens.

1/10. (1 point for the entertainment value)
