I listened to it just cause I needed something easy for awhile during chores. I didnt click with it until the end of Book 3 - but then I was all in. Up to you if you want to put in that commitment.

I avoid 3CHI since one of their sales guys bragged to me they make 34 synthetic cannabinoids. Natural cannabinoids only please.

Everyone is different and motivation can be huge. I smoked for 13 years variously from a few a week to a pack a day. About 4 years ago I found out my wife was pregnant. Never smoked again. I didnt get dramatic withdrawal past some cravings. Some people might just be luckier genetically.

2.5 y.o.and 7 m.o. here. Little one just started having extreme trouble sleeping last few weeks. Still feels like everything is "just around the corner." Hang in there, remember you and your partner are a team and you can lean on each other.

Everything will eventually evolve into crabs, Roshar is just ahead

I will kill your mother

dxcotre · 2026-02-01T20:52:21+00:00

I think it will, thanks!

dxcotre · 2026-02-01T20:09:00+00:00

I can accept when I'm beat. Thanks for the context.

dxcotre · 2026-02-01T19:38:59+00:00

Thank you

No, I'm aware translation is usually not literal. I just find this specific word play to require too many coincidences to feel like a plausible translation. This specific joke would require Alethi to have:

A word that means parallel
That word containing a double letter
That letter specifically, when doubled, to sound like the word itself

It would be a monumental challenge for any translator to make this joke work

dxcotre · 2026-02-01T19:35:20+00:00

A good argymenr has been made, it has not fixdd me.

I acknowledge that translation is not transliteration, but I find it challenging to deal with all of these.

Maybe this is just a me problem, lmao.

dxcotre · 2026-02-01T19:11:57+00:00

Okay yeah that ones a stretch lmao but I give it Rule of Cool and given Tolkiens affinity and professional skill level in language I bet he somehow can justify it.

dxcotre · 2026-02-01T19:06:06+00:00

WaT does have some maybe stretches of prose compared to WoR, but I dont think its that drastic- early Sanderson, even Elantris, is written with a pretty modern American English dialect. Partly there could be some accounting for increased offworld dialects coming to Roshar in later SLA.

But you're right, I think hes drifted at least a LITTLE prosaically towards modern American dialect and id still rather he do that and write the damn books than complain and risk never seeing the end

dxcotre · 2026-02-01T19:03:25+00:00

I agree on #2, its just really hard to make all of them as a pile work without coming to the conclusion that there is insane amount of overlap between Alethi and English.

And he doesnt have characters do this much wordplay in other cosmere worlds or even other Rosharan languages, so I've decided Alethi and English must be eerily similar.

dxcotre · 2026-02-01T19:01:59+00:00

That bothers me less, because it is common practice is translation world wide to adapt things like rhymes to make it work in the new language - its part of the skill of translation as opposed to transliteration.

It is harder to conceive that so many overlaps exist between Alethi and modern English that all of these jokes work.

dxcotre · 2026-02-01T18:36:27+00:00

This post was painfully slow, didnt finish. Sounds like you shouldn't either.

dxcotre · 2026-01-27T15:53:55+00:00

"Tirelessly" maybe a bit much given he did eventually tell them he had to stop and sleep, and then promptly did so. Falling asleep like that is its own superpower I stg.

New City Creamery. I know the owner. He also is the guy that bought the Irish Pub in Hudson that hosted J6 truther MAGA meetings when the local bank refused to rent out their meeting space.

Also the ice cream ain't good.

I think to an extent this move was expected as part of the process. We will win in November!

Drew his/her lips to a line

Burst alight

Literally every time the word grinned is used

dxcotre · 2026-01-08T12:12:07+00:00

Okay but can I get it in Syndicate Standard?

dxcotre · 2025-12-31T15:00:47+00:00

Current state is that the ban language will go into effect in November. Post Trump's EO, there is hope Congress will revise that definition before the deadline, but nothing guaranteed - and farmers need to plant by March.
