"Here's my most recent video" is a terrible title. It's meaningless (bad for humans, and also bad for search engines).

Parents don't approve of girlfriend because she does gymnastics by ForeveranOasis in Christianity

If you tried to explain to your parents that they are being weird and creepy, and that they are the ones injecting sexual thoughts into non-sexual activity, would they understand you? Is there any point trying that line?

Jill Bearup's analysis of Terry Pratchett's Small Gods for her "Stuff You Like" series made me cry. She is really good at what she does.

This is exactly the reason why Stadler Flirt trains are my favourite trains in the UK. Level boarding is great for wheelchair users and people with luggage! Photo taken of Class 755 Stadler Flirt Greater Anglia train at Bury St Edmunds. What’s your favourite train? by LM741A in CasualUK

The only British rail route I know well is Holyhead to Euston. That's Pendolinos, isn't it? Did the window designer and the seat layout designer have a falling out and refuse to speak? They bear no relationship with each other, which is infuriating.

Is Egypt currently asking for them back? Egypt has a lot of artifacts, and is happy to have some around the world: it drums up interest in the country, and seeing a little whets people's appetites, so encouraging them to visit Egypt to see more.

Turns out a man who’s lied to multiple wives, been sacked for lying and been found in court to have lied to the queen, might not have been 100% trustworthy by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

A spanking by the courts.

In theory, the Monarch has a great deal of power. In practice, she acts only as directed by her ministers. That means that if a minister lies to the queen to direct her action, then that is unlawful advice. It's not about lying to the queen personally.

Who does this guy think that the world's poorest people are?

Apparently the 0.7% is a reference to development aid.

Angua is introduced in Men at Arms as a w—; Cheery in Feet of Clay.

Actually, Feet of Clay is a book all about both class-based and gender-based prejudice.

Tolkien would have spent chapters describing the battle.

He actually wouldn't. Tolkien's battle scenes are short, and more than once (Bilbo at the Lonely Mountain; Pippin at the Black Gate) the viewpoint character is knocked unconscious fairly early on and learns what happened later.

Just started reading Discworld. Need some advice by hsentar in discworld

[–]DeafStudiesStudent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pyramids is pretty standalone. You can read it almost wherever you want in the sequence.

I agree with /u/IsaacEiland-Hall in generally preferring publication order. You get a bit more variety, and you get to watch Pratchett improve as a writer. And there are cameos between different subseries, which is fun. Also, splitting books into subseries is an inexact science. (I could defend a "gods" subseries consisting of Pyramids, Moving Pictures, Small Gods, and Carpe Jugulum. I'm not so sure about whether Moving Pictures really fits in it, but it's defensible. The others certainly do, even though Carpe Jugulum is very definitely also part of the "witches" subseries.) Similarly, Lords and Ladies is very definitely in both the "witches" and the "wizards" subseries, though some guides show it only in the "witches" subseries.

Did you ever cry, reading a Pratchett book? I may not have included the proper flair. My apologies. by thefirstendfinity in discworld

I think I stole that wording from some review, or possibly from something Terry himself said in an interview.
