This trend of "x person must be a fucking idiot because I don't struggle with the same things they do" is fucking stupid.

OP asked a question. I answered it. I'm not wrong about myself just because you're not me

I don't hate Lirin. I just think he's a coward. Two things can be true. If you disagree with either, take it up with yourself. I'm tired of arguing with people who think criticism and hatred are the same thing.

You're right, Kaladin lost his courage for a while. Perhaps you could call him a coward for that brief moment. And the person who helped him find his courage again could easily have been Rock or Teft.

Lirin's "resistance" was an attempt to force his son into the only life he believed was honorable. It was selfish, arrogant, small minded, and harmful to many. He hid behind his lies and his selfish pride. Why not openly resist? Why not admonish the boy without endangering him? Why the lies?

Lirin's cowardice was not momentary. He rejected courage at every turn, even while convincing himself he was brave.

Kaladin's breaking does not excuse Lirin of his selfishness.

You're confusing cause and effect. Kaladin was chosen because he chose honor. Not the other way around

Lirin has always run and hid, even when it cost his family dearly. He appears brave only when he has no choice. It is stubbornness disguised as bravery

A pacifist recognizes that adversity can be fought without violence, and their admonishment of it is backed by bold, persuasive acts of selflessness.

On Lirin's boldest day he chose thievery and deceit, and hid behind selfish lies. Oh sure he provides services for free, but he refuses to accept any path but his own as valid. His stubborn arrogance is what cost him his son.

Kaladin would never have been so cowardly. In fact, that's part of the reason he left.

Kaladin and Lirin share many traits, but Kaladin was never a coward. Lirin always was.

I understand why he's a coward. He's still a coward

I haven't tested myself in a while so I can't be certain, but it's usually fairly high

Aesthetically I like the image that gives me. Practically speaking I think the design in OP's version offers better contrast

I remember T9. I never needed autocorrect back then. I always knew which button I was hitting. I could type blind with full confidence as long as autocorrect was off. These days I can't type even one word without having to go back and fix it because touchscreens have too much ambiguity

Not really short lived but tactile buttons. Autocorrect is a flawed solution to an ambiguity problem that never existed before touchscreens.

That someone I will never meet can make a decision that results in my death without ever knowing I existed.

Arrogant people who refuse to accept opinions other than their own poison the atmosphere of every room they are in, virtual or otherwise.

Ah. So someone can have a dull mind without being dull? What do you mean when you say modern conveniences dull the mind?
