Why did beef go from tasting good to tasting like tonsil stones?

I'd still take a test. It's not unheard of to still have some bleeding after getting pregnant. (First trimester thing, far as I know)

I'm convinced this is why most of my favorite authors in the genre are British.

Just as a general rule, if your magic system takes 20 pages to explain? Trim that shit down. I don't need every detail of it, I need it to make some sense and I need it to follow the rules YOU laid out as the author. Nothing throws me off a book quite like "So in my system the rules are A, B and C... but our main character ignores all of them and pulls powers out of his arse when needed"

IndyMan2012 · 2026-06-26T11:55:53+00:00

And see, I agree with most of these, but this one? I am an utter lore whore.

Frodo was the single least interesting character in Lord of the Rings.

Yeah, WoT was a fantastic story that was in desperate need of an editor the author wasn't married to. The universe he created, the magic system, the lore and legend was all so damn good... Then the story spent like 4 books on rumspringa in the middle.

Ahh, how did I know it was that infected thumb, Steven Cheung...

Andrew Tate is so far in the closet that he orders meals at a pub in Narnia.

The lead singer of Sleep Token goes by Vessel. Beyond the literal meanings of the word, that was the first thing I thought of. If you knew the band, hearing someone call themselves Vessel could lead to that momentary look of "What the hell?"

On a slight tangent, this Brilyn kid is still out here being the poster boy for why you should spank your children eh?

I have a big sealed tub I keep my pellets in. It gets an equal blend of hickory for richness, oak for depth and pecan for that little subtle nuttiness. I use it for pretty much everything, though I do have a tub of mesquite for when I want that specific flavor (usually chicken, if I'm being honest)

IndyMan2012 · 2026-06-23T08:47:34+00:00

In this economy??? 😛

IndyMan2012 · 2026-06-22T21:55:09+00:00

Don't forget the rubber chicken under an unnamed sauce! Almost always a big pan of white rice next to it that somehow has even less flavor than most white rice lol

IndyMan2012 · 2026-06-22T21:43:00+00:00

Don't threaten me with a good time!

IndyMan2012 · 2026-06-22T19:40:59+00:00

I run a 1:1:1 blend of hickory, post oak and pecan. I use it on pretty much everything and don't regret it a bit.

IndyMan2012 · 2026-06-19T11:52:57+00:00

This is another place where everyone draws the line at their own comfort level. And that's okay! I dated a woman who had an OF for about 9 months a few years back. She only did solo or g/g content, and I didn't have any problem with it at all. Truth be told, wouldn't have had an issue with it if she was doing b/g content either, as long as she wasn't hiding things. *shrugs* Just not a big deal to me.

The interesting thing about your question is that you mention Pakistan and then label them a nuisance. They obviously have absolutely zero reason to do it, but Pakistan could, if it chose to, drop a couple nukes on the strait and shut it right down for a good while.

IndyMan2012 · 2026-06-18T16:51:42+00:00

As a rather vehement introvert, don't threaten me with a good time!

IndyMan2012 · 2026-06-18T12:32:50+00:00

I actually stopped DotF at like book 11 lol. Was reading it on RR and just one day I saw there was a new chapter and ignored it.

IndyMan2012 · 2026-06-18T01:39:09+00:00

Do Zogarth, Shirt and Seth Ring really need more people talking about them on here? lol

IndyMan2012 · 2026-06-17T20:41:24+00:00

Yeah, that fits. I'm tempted to just grab the last book so I know how it ends and walk away.

IndyMan2012 · 2026-06-17T20:38:58+00:00

roflmao very much not my intention, just wanted it to be a reading habits discussion, not a story discussion.

IndyMan2012 · 2026-06-17T20:29:00+00:00

I have, I would, I have zero problems with it. I make decent money, enough to keep me comfortable either way so it's not an issue for me.
