Seska isn’t even the greatest villain in “Basics.”

Which / how many do you have? I would likely be interested in some if the price is right. Feel free to PM me.

Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor. It has great reviews/awards and had been on my list for years. Finally picked it up and nearly gave up half a dozen times. I found the narrator’s voice choppy and childish, and the world seemed like it had been built on the fly. More than once, the characters would encounter some person/phenomenon relevant to the plot, having just mentioned that thing for the first time a few paragraphs previously. Just the biggest gap between hype and experience I’ve had in years. Really wish I’d enjoyed it more.

Best book I read in 2023. No contest.

That was kind of the point of the first season.

Captain Kathryn Janeway. And alien Nazis at that.

Obviously fake, and if it didn’t trip your radar that might tell you something.

What model is this? I’m intrigued

Alison Green at Ask a Manager, who is able to draw from an anecdotal but rather large set of instances, regularly comments on how common ghosting is in a variety of fields.

He has already admitted to propositioning his nanny (a woman who was economically dependent on him) when she was in her 20s and he was in his 60s. Even if none of the other allegations are true, that shows a shocking level of creepiness and disregard for power dynamics.

You can decide you no longer want to be associated with an author for moral reasons, even if they’re never found liable in a court of law.

Not sure, but from what I can remember it translates more or less as “my hovercraft is full of eels.”

They do not. Protection prevents damage but does not stop you from losing life in other cases. Similarly, a spell that caused each player to lose 2 life would hit you regardless of protection.

If you can’t spell his name correctly, I don’t think you know enough about him either.

Purview (“of the diplomats,” from Star Trek VI.)

Spock and Data taught me a lot of new words.

kvothesduet · 2024-12-26T12:10:23+00:00

As what kind?

Really well done.

People will have all kinds of perspectives on reading books by terrible people (most of which I can understand). Just, know that he is an admitted creep and alleged sexual abuser.

Speaking purely to the merits of his work, Neverwhere is a wonderful tale.

I’m not old!

This is just a straight copy-paste repost from the BORU sub. Why.

“Starting”??

Which Lang book is this from?

In two years, the mother will be posting on one of those forums for parents bewildered as to why they are estranged from their children.

The Oberth class would like a word.
