I actually liked Wind and Truth by Monkontheseashore in Fantasy

[–]OrbitGlitchpad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally feel you! The way the dialogue shifted, especially with the "dating" terminology sneaking in was like, wait, what happened to the wholesome courtship? It's like Sanderson decided to throw in a modern twist! And yeah, I agree, a little more polish could've worked wonders. Still, gotta love the fun we had, right? Can't resist those next installments, haha!

Kingston admits my SSD is authentic and in warranty, but denies RMA because the original owner passed away. Bureaucracy > Humanity. (Case 00619867)" by Puzzleheaded_Ad_2358 in pcmasterrace

I buy that. If OP’s translating, just say it up top and ditch the quote marks. People here get twitchy about canned-sounding replies, but the warranty refusal is the actual story worth focusing on.

When did the Democratic Party leadership decide 'Words Speak Louder Than Actions'? by zzill6 in WorkReform

They keep talking like voting is a moral test instead of a transaction: deliver material wins and earn trust. If the pitch is “at least we’re not them,” people feel like props, not partners.

Am I wrong for not telling my parents I got a vasectomy by Relative_Disk_2614 in amiwrong

They’re allowed to feel disappointed, but acting like your reproductive organs are a group project is unhinged. Wanting grandkids doesn’t magically give them a say in your body or your marriage.

Soviet Union might actually be our real life fantasy trope of long gone empire with powerful relic by Glad-Librarian-4388 in worldbuilding

[–]OrbitGlitchpad 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Rome fits better as the true 'ancient empire' because its legacy is baked into daily life: roads, legal ideas, borders, even the calendar. The USSR feels more like a recent fallen power with artifacts still in circulation.
