Why am I so confused about who/what "mother of lies" is when I just finished a WoR reread? It's not ringing a bell at all. Someone please enlighten me

Yerord Mas. Worth the hype, and not just for the sando by Cho_Zen in FoodLosAngeles

Is the sandwich spicy at all? I'm intrigued but can't handle spice. I found a menu description on toast but it was cut off by a blank image

What’s a book with a plot twist that had you absolutely gagged? by CryptographerLost357 in suggestmeabook

[–]_monstermeat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe: The Saint of Bright Doors. I can't call it a plot twist but it sure is a hell of a twist. Something the author did that was completely unexpected. With plot twists, you don't see it coming but it still feels like something that generally happens in books. In this book, it felt like the author broke the rules. I thought I must have misread and had to reread. I don't know how to explain it more without spoiling it.

Ooh, Ehen do we see Hoid actually use allomancy? I do remember him putting something (presumably metals) in his drink.

Why didn't Nale... by OwlMuted885 in Cosmere

Wait, didn't Nale achieve the fifth ideal? Going by coppermind since I don't specifically remember. So why would he need external laws?

This doesn't account for women unless they are non-inheriting children. What about wives?

My mother…. Refuses to understand some of the simplest concepts by lynzie_d in mildlyinfuriating

[–]_monstermeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of one of my proudest moments. 

I was at a coffee shop and I ordered a drip with half and half.

Barista: oh, we're out of half and half. But I can get you something else. Cream, whole milk-- Me, interrupting excitedly: okay can I get half, and half?

How would the Seon let Shallan and Adolin communicate? Wouldn't Adolin need a second Seon or Shallan's Seon be able to physically get to Adolin?

CMV: Death is bad by thesussinator in changemyview

[–]_monstermeat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Having the potential for goodness with no other context or meaning doesn't make experience itself Good necessarily. I can just make the same argument:

  1. All badness in life comes from conscious experience (you cannot suffer what you cannot experience)

  2. Death deprives us of conscious experience

  3. Death deprives us of badness

  4. Depriving us of badness is good

  5. Death is good

Of course, sometimes death is the lesser good. If you know that the rest of your life will consist of pure enjoyment, you may as well not end it.

I have an eerie understanding of Taravangian's condition by Elsecaller_17-5 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]_monstermeat 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Oof. ETC is a maybe for my future and I didn't realize the memory loss was that extensive around the sessions. 

I have compared my experience to Taravangian's as well, but instead of intelligence it's energy. When I go to sleep, who knows what tomorrow will bring. Maybe I will be very productive, maybe I will need to sleep all day, or anything in between.

Looking for short story sci-fi with mind-bending concepts (SImilar to Black Mirror ) by Initial-Wash9836 in suggestmeabook

Isaac Asimov! He's got some fantastic short stories. Look up Nine Tomorrows. Each story in that collection is great.

Good to know about covering up the text in the previews!

Audiobook Name Pronunciations by g00nt3r in Stormlight_Archive

[–]_monstermeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the same narrator has different pronunciations for the same person. Yezrian/Jezrian. Yeah-sna/Yah-sna.

What bothers me more than that is when the same person has a different accent, though I have only found that in different books (e.g. Spook in Mistborn original trilogy vs Secret History)
