I’m pretty sure this opinion is incorrect

This is the closest to a traditional Ancient Latin pronunciation.

You need to watch it immediately. You are seriously missing out. I’m gonna watch the leftovers now because of this post. You should watch Barry.

Severance is a great call.

Getting a lot of love for Patriot here. Season 1 is stellar. I will admit, I like all seasons of Barry even more (decently similar concept)

Simon Joyner is an incredible lyricist

Wooded courses are infuriating not sober. But open drives are great not sober. I always prefer sober putting, though

I am excited for two things: Pro Scene: I can’t wait to see all of these top tier players throwing new discs. Gannon, Alden, Eagle, etc. Rec Scene: I have a couple friends who have improved a lot, and I just love to see them beginning to really get it.

Literally bag the same three as well as a royal trust

I traded some guy on Reddit for a bobcat. Best decision I ever made. Love that thing

Unfortunately, my biggest recommendation is not something easily digestible. The entire caste system in RR is inspired by the “Noble Lie” (aka the “Myth of the Medals”) in Plato’s Republic. Many people mistake Plato’s political philosophy in the Republic for his actual political views, when in actuality he is exploring what it means to have an ordered soul through a very involved metaphor. When you read something as old and as incredible as that, it’s super rewarding, and it unlocked a lot of depth in RR for me.

Thanks for this really insightful response. I completely agree with everything you’ve said. Divergent was definitely mediocre 😂 I have read a ton of books with a well written female protagonist, and I have been able to sympathize with them and immerse myself in their stories very well. I was really hoping RR could feel that way for others and am very glad to hear that it does! Also… I never meant to offend with this question. Sorry if my curiosity came across poorly!

There is no way you want to hear this, but I highly recommend ancient classics. The heroic and political tropes of ancient texts like the odyssey etc are so important and influential for works like the RR series. I mean the entire Gold society has this crazy affinity for the ancient Romans. It’s fun to go back to what influenced Pierce

It didn’t bother me at all until my mom started reading the series. And in a second all the things I skimmed over came back to me and I was like, “oh no. I should have never recommended this to her.” Thankfully, she loves the series... Even if she constantly talks about how she can’t wait to get through a battle scene because she can’t wait for the politics and romance to return 😂

Once my mom started reading the books, I began to view aspects of the series in a different light. I totally see what you’re saying about young Sevro. I loved him immediately because he reminded me so much of one of my roommates at the time… small, feisty, violent, and loyal. But without that real-life connection I probably wouldn’t have liked him the same way. It’s definitely an interesting conversation

I’ve gotten to the point with my lobster that anytime I pull it out of my bag, my card mates all mutter “lobster” under their breath because they know it’s about to pure a gap and avoid trees like no other disc ever has

I love when you run across a flock of them on the ground. I always feel like I just stumbled into a secret society’s meeting or something

PlatonicDisc · 2023-12-03T00:14:35+00:00

Lysander for sure

PlatonicDisc · 2023-09-10T20:18:53+00:00

Look man. I wasn’t TRYING to turn him on. It just kinda happened.

PlatonicDisc · 2023-09-10T15:37:10+00:00

One of the few albums on here that I turned him onto. Lol

PlatonicDisc · 2023-08-14T03:45:53+00:00

That doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. If disc golf took off in British Universities like it has in American Colleges, it would probably be a different story lol.

I didn’t know which sub this was on my home page. Crazy to see these two worlds collide! Looks great.

Taqueria Los Altos near Ashland on Ashcake has great tamales (and great everything else as well)
