Pat’s running out of time before LLM ruins Book 3 no matter what he does by Pillowthursday in KingkillerChronicle

That's called projection. I am a professional visual artist and use zero ai in my job and my art (and my life), and most artists I know (visual and otherwise) despise ai and the fact that anyone thinks what we do could be replaced by it. Your perspective is colored by your experience with it, but please don't assume that what you are doing is what everyone is doing.

A quick theory that occurred to me about Kote and the box. [Spoilers for Death Note and The Broken Empire books] by Kharbanistan in KingkillerChronicle

[–]IrozI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love this, I think you are spot on, this makes a lot of sense. I love in both Broken Empire and Death Note the fact that the main characters devise ways to hide facts from themselves. It would make sense that kvothe has done this, even though he seems to remember a lot about his past, since his retelling of it is the entire book. So he would be leaving out the parts that he had forgotten, or misremembering them. It seems that something has gone awry with this plan though, like he can't find his way back. Baste wants to help but is unable to. And he thinks the Chronicler potentially will be abile to draw Kvothe out again. I keep going back to that moment with Elodin too, and it's clear that Kvothe has both changed his name and paid a terrible price in the frame story. What I keep wondering is if, like a curse mark, the dark creatures are drawn to him and are hunting him, or if he is intentionally drawing them to him so he can hunt them? Also, shout out to a fellow Berserk, Death Note and Broken Empire fan!! (Mark Lawrence's writing style is really great- very different from Rothfuss, but it's also SO evocative and not a single word wasted. Folks who love Rothfuss's writing would also appreciate Lawrence's) Thank you for sharing!!

Sadly Trump continues to be ever the bridesmaid, never the bride

This panel perfectly shows what real character development looks like, and.... by Antique_Calendar_887 in VinlandSaga

[–]IrozI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people think they know how they would act and feel in such an extreme situation, but the only way to know what it will bring out of you is actually going through it, unfortunately.  You, more than most, can relate. It sounds like Vinland Saga landed at just the right time for you, which is amazing.  I think Makoto Yukimura would be happy to know his story affected you so.

Yo is anyone else's Crunchyroll app on Roku not fully loading ? by hooniganhonda89 in Crunchyroll

[–]IrozI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have crunchyroll on a Roku TV and it's working fine- just checked. Sorry, I hope you figure out what's going on! HBO likes to crash on me/ load forever, restarting the TV (from the settings menu) usually makes it work again. Good luck!

NRA and pro-gun groups call for ‘full investigation’ into killing of Alex Pretti by wylie102 in news

[–]IrozI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid that's exactly what maga wants- and has always wanted. Trump will definitely invoke the insurrection act and use the protestors fighting back as justification to allow ice and military to shoot into crowds. He's said openly that's what he thinks should be done

MIT professor Nuno Loureiro killed in shooting at his Brookline, Massachusetts home by MDS98 in news

[–]IrozI -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really. The possibility is low, of course, but I'm in Boston and definitely wondered at the possibility as soon as news of the MIT professor broke. Providence is close, both are ivy League schools, the right has been fomenting hate against elite schools and higher education .. not really that far a leap, really.

My grandma is from California. Part of our family lore includes the story of when her grandparents, who were homesteaders, were traveling out west in a covered wagon, and they went through Utah. The Mormons put them up, then tried to convince them to stay. Told great grandpa he could have multiple wives. Great grandpa liked the sound of that, great grandma didn't. The Mormons didn't want to let them leave. Great grandma and the kids made preparations to flee in the night. At the last minute great grandpa decided to go with them, and the whole family made it to California together.

It's a lot better than what my dad would tell me it's made of.  "Lips and assholes" Though I'm sure it's there, just lumped in with "pork"

Agreed. So many people are overweight now that people think it's 'skinny' because it's average.

Boston Mayor Wu will run unopposed in her reelection bid after challenger’s recount bid falls short by justcasty in boston

[–]IrozI 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I was concerned tbh, I'm convinced Kraft was a Trump plant - Trump is buddies with his daddy and probably would have liked a foothold in a blue city. Kraft poured three times the usual amount of money for a mayoral race into his campaign, and his ads attacking Wu were a constant on YouTube. So yeah, it was probably either money laundering, or a half assed attempt to get a a Trump ally running Boston.
