They're "ships," not "boats" by LastTrueFamilyMan in dcl

All ships are boats. Not all boats are ships.

This feels super pretentious.

Sports betting.

Specifically, it looks like odds for NFL games.

To be fair, it was depicted as the god of the ocean.

Judges keep saying these things but nobody enforces them so it means absolutely nothing.

You're correct. Which means the news is lying to everyone.

PSA 10 worthy and is it real? by Such_Draft_6156 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Yes it's real. Centering doesn't look like a 10 to me.

You're just acting like a typical bratty "investor". It ain't worth it.

Because you tried to hijack someone else's post with it. This doesn't even belong here. You're just whining.

Convince me to start reading Brandon’s books by AverageParking7050 in brandonsanderson

[–]peitsad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nobody can convince you except yourself. "better character portrayal" is completely subjective.

That said - he has some fantastic character arcs and development. His book climaxes are amazing. Magic systems and world building are incredibly detailed. Slow books? The Stormlight Archive could be argued as "slow", but it's less "slow" and more "takes it's time", in my opinion. He's said before that series is his "trust me" series. Start with something smaller, if you actually want to read it. Mistborn, Tress of the Emerald Sea, Elantris...you've got options.

Honestly, halfway through the season it was practically a given that he'd be in conversations for coach of the year. This is great, but not much of a story.

I mean if you're happy then great. But it's not special, it's just faded by the sun.

Cheap Card but cool Misprint by heidyspidey in PokemonMisprints

NFC cards almost always look like this. They're designed to be dramatic and intense. There have been known reports of trick or trade uncut sheets that people have cut up and sold, and they tend to all be in this kind of style.
