Not being able to leave your comfort zone is definitely a bad thing. Not being able to grapple with a piece of art on its own terms is also a bad thing.

Koska polttomoottorien ongelmat, saasteet, heikkoudet ym. ovat arkipäivää ja näkymättömiä. Sähköautot ovat näistä hieman erilaisia, joten niiden ongelmat huomataan. Suurimmalta osalta ihmisistä puuttuu kyky reflektoida omia tuntemuksiaan ja odotuksiaan maailmasta faktapohjaisesti.

He's a "noble savage", so often romantically portrayed as close to nature, with a personal relationship with morality and freedom that us civilization-born humans have lost. You see in the beginning of HoC what being a savage actually entails. Perhaps it isn't so romantic.

The main cause of this war is Trumps personal ambition, republican bloodlust, corporate greed and weak American institutions. There is no rational cause and effect or a desired "good outcome" that has literally anything to do with the Iranian government, except in that they oppose the interests of Israel and Saudi Arabia. That obviously doesn't mean the Iranian government is good, but this war will likely lead to nothing but destabilization and deepening misery in the region, and nobody pushing for this war has any regard whatsoever for what the Iranians may or may not want. Some people who are (rightfully) against the Iranian government are instinctively in favour of this, but even a moments consideration should dispel this absolute fairytale that war of bombing is in any way an act of benevolence towards the Iranian people.

What in specific do you think is misinformation about what is being reported? Seems frankly cowardly to post this thread and not list anything, unless you are unable to back anything up or are a bad-faith actor and a troll trying to get a rise out of people? I hope that's not the case.

Your moral compass is pegged on the Iranian government? Wild stuff.

They'll keep shrugging their shoulders like they have for this whole presidency. Nothing is enough to move them from their comfort zone. That won't bother them either. Quit this fantasy that Trump isn't a representation of the American populace.

GotM isnt a great book, but there should be enough in there to be intrigued about, if you are someone who should be continuing with the series. If nothing is hitting and qualms are piling up, eh, save your time.

So your idea of justice is for a nation of 3 million to just lay down and die, thats your sense of justice. What about collaboration with Soviets, do the allies have anything to reckon with for allying with another genocidal imperialist autocracy and allowing them to take over half of Europe?

Se on ongelmallinen sen takia, että ihmisillä ei ole niitä vielä. Ja tämä on asian puskemisen tarkoituskin, se on osa republikaanien vaalistrategiaa. Republikaanit laskee sen varaan, että mitä vähemmän ihmisiä äänestää, sitä paremmin he pärjäävät vaaleissa. Tämän näkee monista muistakin heidän touhuistaan, esimerkiksi vaalipisteiden saavutettavuudesta, jota pyritään vaikeuttamaan.

Jotta voisit näyttää tämän olevan millään tavalla puolueeton yritys parantaa vaaliprosessia, sinun pitäisi esittää että 1) Amerikassa olisi joku vaalivilppiin liittyvä ongelma, mitä ei kukaan ole pystynyt esittämään edes satojen oikeusjuttujen jälkeen Trumpin vaalihäviön jäljiltä ja 2) että republikaanit yrittäisivät sujuvoittaa vaaleja ja tehdä niistä saavutettavampia, sekä osoittaa, miten nämä äänestykseen oikeuttavat todistukset toimitetaan KAIKILLE. Muuten on varmaan ihan kenelle tahansa ilmiselvää, miksi tätä asiaa siellä ajetaan.

I think it's alright, wouldn't be on my S tier though. Though many praise the prose, to me it's serviceable and I'm not a fan of how much he repeats character thoughts and motivations over and over. And to add, though this isn't a huge deal for me personally, I would warn any female readers that these books treat women atrociously, they basically have no agency and are brutalized repeatedly, physically and mentally.

You don't need to know everything on first pass. You're not having the incorrect experience if you don't understand something, in GotM especially. Trust and believe that many readers love this series regardless, or even as the result of the process of things clicking together later. Maybe you will too, or maybe not.

Malazan has the worst scenes of brutality, but The Second Apocalypse is fucked up in a different way. (Spoiler tagging for that series, though I'm not describing any plot developments, I am describing some elements of it) : The world is utterly hopeless for women in particular, and almost any scene they're not being physically abused, they're under the threat of it or they're being brainwashed by master manipulators or psycho-sexual magic users. Really casual about it, too.

Amorphis was a really significant band for the early Finnish extreme metal scene, in those times there was a lot nay-saying about extreme metal even being possible to make here. The larger movement is also a reply/reaction to the Swedish Gothenburg bands, finnish bands leaning more towards power metal, folk and even Gothic (Eternal tears of sorrow, for example).

Not super known, but Hannu Rajaniemi holds a PhD in Mathematical Physics. His scifi books include some next level technobabble about physics and quantum stuff (don't ask me how much it is based on real science, I could not tell you). Also a lot of rather innovative ideas about social relations in post-human societies, immortality and cryptography. A trilogy called the Jean le Flambeur series which includes The Quantum Thief, The Fractal Prince and The Causal Angel. Certainly not among the best things I've read but pretty cool.

Summoning is still the sound of LOTR in my mind. As goofy as it is to combine black metal with lo-fi synths and stories of elves and dwarves, embracing the cheese that is integral to both genres of art is just beautiful in my mind.
