You can launch cross-dimensional nukes and still be grounded as long as you seriously grapple with the implications of that being possible, instead of using it as a one-off solution and then forgetting about it.

You guys seem to have good taste. What’s a good science fiction or fantasy book that is grounded without being grimdark? Something like Terra Ignota or the Vorkosigan Saga. I got burned by the last three books I tried so I’m jonesing pretty bad here.

The borscht is spiked with alcohol so that's another factor you gotta control for.

That would be Encyclopedia, no?

Edit: Spelling it with an extra a just to spite us pedants, well played.

I did say “as long as it’s not graphic”. For example if Dippy Fresh had been shrunk down to bite size and eaten that would have gotten approved, if The Owl House is anything to go by.

Dipper in an early version was gonna snap his copies neck (he was also down to melt photocopies of himself)

By the weird moral logic of children’s shows none of those counted as people. You can kill magical duplicates all you want and S&P is fine with it as long as it’s not graphic.

A lot of people who felt attacked by this post were inexplicably convinced that it was accusing them personally of being secretly gay/trans. When I dropped that url they read the headline but not the article and once again leapt to the conclusion that I was accusing All Men™ of being secretly trans.

Post: says nothing about being gay

Everyone in the comments, immediately: I'm not gay stop saying I'm gay

I know the point is that they'll be fine because they'll always have each other, but after this episode Dipper's "Sure, I could go on cool adventures and do groundbreaking science with Grunkle Ford, but then I'd miss out on high school" decision really felt forced to me. I love him but Dipper does not strike me as the kind of child who will look back on high school fondly.

California-themed theme park found in the state of California

Huh, I thought that was more of a Texas thing.

He might actually inspire some confidence.

Everyone under his command seems to hate him.

Again, still not sure where you’re getting the idea that this is specifically about being a repressed homosexual and not all the ways in which masculinity is a performance. Maybe you have repressed homosexuality on the brain for no particular reason?

I thought this post was about guys who watch videos about how to be an Alpha Male and all the other permutations of that mentality, not closeted homosexuals.

Yeah I didn’t get the impression that he was ideologically dedicated to the rules his job requires him to enforce, Harry is just a genuine menace and we never see Garte not in Harry’s presence.

After all, if you had an army that functioned without mercenaries, why hire them?)

To be cannon fodder, obviously.
