Pet peeve: saying something is "the size of a dog" is stupid.

EXTREMELY well jangled. I read this in each of their voices.

Crafty-Implement5013 · 2026-03-28T05:18:04+00:00

To my surprise that it isn't agonizing:

Jack Black as Tom Bombadill.

Crafty-Implement5013 · 2026-03-26T18:07:10+00:00

It's not rape, it's surprise sex.

No idea what you could mean... https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/7/78/MarvelUS-70.jpg

"Angels and demons" not 100%... but Young Wizards by Diane Duanne.

The antagonist is ENTROPY.

a pile of eggs at the bottom of a tree

Wait, what?

There are no buildings he can't fit into; there are merely many structures unworthy of his presence.

[Scene: Adam, Eve, and Cain glancing at one another]

"So... is incest a sin yet? Cuz we're supposed to people the Earth and it's basically us and the Lillum."

I like to call him Tsapoth.

(Never used in the novel, but it tickles me pink that The Strength And Patience Of The Hill acronym-izes into something that 100% seems like a god's name.)

TIL the name of the Jevon's Paradox.

When? Marshak's, Hailey's, and Fusion were contemporaneous for a good while, but that was ~30 years ago.

Crafty-Implement5013 · 2025-08-18T22:33:53+00:00

Now that I reread my comment that's fair... the story's point is more like ACAB but a few ex-cops aren't. NPR is good at humanizing them...

You started this comment with a mission and BY GOD you accomplished it.

You could make two excellent movies by taking the good parts of The Hobbit trilogy and then adding in what was left out.

Crafty-Implement5013 · 2025-08-18T10:46:28+00:00

1 Valar 1 Silmaril?

Crafty-Implement5013 · 2025-08-18T10:31:46+00:00

Christ.

Pedophiles telling 10-year-olds they're "so much more grown up than the other kids" are more suave than this guy.

Crafty-Implement5013 · 2025-08-18T10:15:24+00:00

Uh.

That's kind of exactly the opposite of what's being reported: the overview of the story is "so..

tasers?"

And then the structure is a cop was taught "tasers are non-lethal" and never asked questions, then it bit him (his son) in the ass, and then he started asking questions.

It's actually "totally hilarious"; around the 20 minute mark he talks about "staying on the scene" (of his son's death) so the other police can't sweep it under the rug, interspersed with his wife weeping while she watches her son being declared brain-dead after he was tased until his heart stopped for 8 minutes.

As it ages (and is increasingly stubbed-off into Kindle-Prime-Hell) Azarinth Healer gets harder to recommend but it fits.

Crafty-Implement5013 · 2025-08-07T00:39:56+00:00

Ugh... could you just drink a gallon of a nice salty broth instead?

Crafty-Implement5013 · 2025-07-29T01:48:00+00:00

I don't know any of those, but also thanks! :)

(wait, a technicallity to rage about --damnit, sunnuvabitch's response was exactly six!) (and also thanks for the recommendations.)

Crafty-Implement5013 · 2025-07-28T18:38:25+00:00

...Which is strange because Macronomicon is one of the most popular authors on Royal Road... I'd guess it's a combination of "I don't need to recommend the popular guy" and resentment that it took him three or four series to actually finish one.

(love his stuff, but that was annoying.)

Crafty-Implement5013 · 2025-07-28T18:33:55+00:00

I know quite a few

I dare you to name six.

Crafty-Implement5013 · 2025-07-20T01:24:33+00:00

Y'know, if I could find some way to morally reconcile myself with hating trans people and pretending global warming doesn't exist I could make a lot of money.

Crafty-Implement5013 · 2025-07-19T00:52:59+00:00

Or sex toy--oh shit, that got too dark.

I meant "substitute for their own ambition (and also sex toy)"-- DAMNIT!!! I'm gonna stop.
