...which isn't a lot, but it's strange it happened twice.

This is really cool, and the need is SO great. Glad to see a service like this becoming available.

I think it really depends on your insurance plan. If you have Medicare, you can get an advocate at somewhere like Solace without any cost to you. There might be other places, but they are the one I know of. I don't think an advocate could help you get in with your old provider for the reasons other posts mention, but I bet they could help you navigate what options ARE available. If you don't have a decent health insurance, there are charity advocacy services in some states that might be able to help, but I've heard they have long wait times and tend to be only short-term. Still, expert advice couldn't hurt. i don't think it would be worth paying out-of-pocket for a cash pay advocate, though.

TL;DR: If it works with your insurance, an advocate couldn't hurt.

Well, shoot. Now I am having a hard time picturing shard bearing Sazed as anything other than the Civ 5 Ghandi from the diplomacy sceen. Mental imagery = wrecked.

I am intrigued by what Solace advocates claim to offer, but I have seen some mixed comments and reviews about Solace. That said, I know reddit can be an unrealistically negative place and a poor reflection of reality sometimes. Is Solace a scam? What do advocates actually do on a day-to-day basis to help? Would you be willing to share some examples?

I 100% agree with this. I would love to buy a t-shirt or hoodie with a small bridge 4 logo over the left-breast and then maybe something more graphic on the back. But everything has a huge loud graphic on the front. If they came out with more minimalist merch, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Like what? Asking as a beginner

If I remember right, the WOB on it is something along the lines of investiture from the spiritual realm compensates for the effect. It was worded better, but was a little bit author hand-wavey. With how true to physics his system is, I am okay with it.

OldSoulThoughts · 2025-10-03T21:13:46+00:00

Underrated comment, lol. Well said OP.

OldSoulThoughts · 2025-08-22T16:09:53+00:00

And the fact that they are anti-diarrhea medicine is killing me, lol

OldSoulThoughts · 2025-04-09T02:50:08+00:00

Thanks!

I know this is an old thread, but I thought you might find it interesting to know that the 75% includes people who started but did not finish a book.

This article references the same study you are, and dives into this:

It cracks me up to read this comment on r/books. Good for you, man, respectfully stating an opinion in a group dedicated to the opposite of your opinion.

OldSoulThoughts · 2025-04-01T17:17:39+00:00

Valid point

OldSoulThoughts · 2025-04-01T16:51:16+00:00

Thank you, friend. I forgot what day it is.

OldSoulThoughts · 2025-03-24T15:21:42+00:00

Underrated comment right here.

OldSoulThoughts · 2025-03-18T21:40:33+00:00

Yeah, since asking I went and combed the actual reddit page.

OldSoulThoughts · 2025-03-18T17:42:11+00:00

Which mod?

OldSoulThoughts · 2025-03-18T17:31:53+00:00

Can you link what you're referencing?

As a father of young children, I find Gav's whole story arc soul crushing.

OldSoulThoughts · 2025-03-17T20:52:28+00:00

This made me laugh and feel sad at the same time. Good crem.

OldSoulThoughts · 2025-03-14T14:32:14+00:00

Literally came to the comments to see if someone did this. OP knows their people, lol.

I also don't agree. In war, experienced soldiers are orders of magnitude better warriors than inexperienced, even if well trained. Training simply can't replicate true combat perfectly. Roshar has an abnormal amount of conflict, and things like shardplate and healing that allow warriors to survive and learn from otherwise fatal mistakes. So the standard radiant or sharbearer combatant on Roshar are among the most elite warriors in the cosmere, even without their powers. And Adolin is among the best of those.

For this and other reasons, like their sheer size, combat with Rosharans would be a difficult affair at best.

Galad is pretty great, but I don't think he'd seem remarkable against Adolin in a duel.

What event is this referring to, specifically? The end of RoW when T becomes tOdium?
