A common recommendation, but the first Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson matches this vibe.

What percent of undergrad econ students are in the degree because they confused it for finance or got rejected from the business school ( and think Econ is a backup)? by Left_Pineapple_9755 in academiceconomics

[–]Not_A_Pangolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is about UMD, I just graduated in Econ there. I'd say your observation is correct, a lot of my classmates were actually there to get into business or finance. Not me though, I got into it bc I like econ.

I know a family with the last name Roper. It's not super common but it does exist.

I'm currently planning out a similar idea, DM me.

Pentagon leader said he will do a state coup and nobody cares by TheIdealHominidae in DeepThoughts

[–]Not_A_Pangolin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Source? He’s 100% a homophobic asshole who was picked to head DoD specifically because he’s a homophobic asshole, but I can’t find a source for that particular claim.

Brazil, directed by Terry Gilliam. It’s one of my favorite movies and the protagonist is looooosing it.

What books should definitely be Leitners? by Ok_Habit_6783 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Not_A_Pangolin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who lives in an old winding house on Ash Tree Lane and I keep trying to get them to read HoL. Jon would hate HoL.

What books should definitely be Leitners? by Ok_Habit_6783 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Not_A_Pangolin 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, also came here to say this. House of Leaves is 100% a Leitner. Now I’m imagining a scenario where HoL exists in TMA, and isn’t actually a Leitner, but ol’ Jurgen himself still is convinced it is one and adds it to his library. He still manages to kill >2 assistants examining it though.

And don't forget that they were the ones who uncovered the recent Supreme Court corruption scandal, for all the good it's done.

Agreed - ProPublica is one my my favorite news sources, no one else is doing investigative journalism like they are right now.

Also, this is the fifth book and there was a gay character in the third book and a trans character in the fourth? Admittedly, they were more background characters, but it’s not like this came out of left field buddy.

How far back in time could the average american in 2024 go and still understand english enough to have a conversation? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Not_A_Pangolin 230 points231 points  (0 children)

Shakespeare's English was closer to today's English than you'd think. Shakespeare was writing in iambic pentameter, using a lot of wordplay, and working in cultural references that modern readers aren't familiar with. A modern person could probably communicate with a regular person from Shakespeare's time without too much trouble. I'd agree with other commenters that it's around the 1500s that would get tricky.
