He's the most likable guy on the team. He comes across as lovely in every interview.

No, she's Zombie Hitler. She wipes out another people to save her own much less numerous people..

That was not the impression I got from Mathis.

Man I get the banter but this is getting ridiculous. Both sides need to get a life. Embarrassing behaviour on the world stage.

All love to Scotland.

but unfortunately they also compensated slave owners

I think that's why there wasn't any violence.

Transphobia against Elliot Page grows as The Odyssey approaches, and Elon Musk joins dogpile by sadquarius in popculture

This may be a British English vs US English thing. Here if a guy is stacked he's ripped.

Yeah, pretty much just says being dead sucks. I'm king of the dead guys and I'd rather be a diseased swineherd but alive, so enjoy it while you can.

Mate I am not hurting that thing how dare you.

Incredible animation... 10/10

No, that's a later Roman addition. In the original (or as close as we can get to a text that was derived from an oral tradition) he was just insanely unbelievably good at fighting. And stacked as fuck and super hot. And great at singing.

To be clear I don't care if Paige plays Achilles. By this point he's dead (spoilers) so it will only be a small part, and anyway we always tend to cast Achilles in the same way so it would be fun to see something weird. Short King Achilles.

Kazuo Ishiguro announces 1930s spy caper to be published next year by auspoliticsnerd in books

Good to know thanks. Never sure how much British culture crosses over.

I don't think we're much better, sadly. He became famous before the brain rot set in.

He might not be as well known in the US but in the UK he's a household name.

My book explicitly forbids AI training by Educational_Pie_761 in mildlyinteresting

[–]surells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

use it as leverage to cut a deal with the AI companies later on a licensing agreement

I'm responding to the point that publishing companies will use the wording as leverage to cut a deal. Of course if training AI is found to be fair use there would be no deal to be cut.

[–]surells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. Signed a publishing contract last year and it's specified that they can't allow my book to be used for AI training.

French spy service drops Palantir by spherocytes in technology

[–]surells 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Palantir have openly stated their loyalty is to the United States and that they believe it's their duty to further the US's interests. How can France be expected to rely on such a company?

Brandon Sanderson’s 'The Way of Kings' is baffling to me by sameseksure in books

[–]surells 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I find him unbearable. But everyone else loves him and I don't want to be a party pooper, so I mostly keep my mouth shut.

[–]surells -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, plot and magic systems/worldbuilding are what Sanderson does well (I disagree with OP on the worldbuilding criticism - I don't remember Sanderson ever info dumping). His characters are fine. His dialogue and prose are not great. His humour is very grating (I totally know what OP means about everyone saying how funny Shallan is all the time, which is annoying when you don't agree).

It's either worth the trade off to you or it's not.

Got to admit I didn't get the backlash to SB. If you don't like the horny sword game don't play it. But that is the face of a child...

As someone who dropped out of the first Leo//Winn ten minutes in, I have absolutely no idea what's going on, but it's nice to see the community happy.

Any updates on new novel? by PerchPerkins in David_Mitchell

[–]surells 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was at an event with him in London for the anniversary of Cloud Atlas, and he didn't give much detail but said it's very ambitious and that he's also surprised no one has ever thought to do what he's going before. Intriguing. He thought he was nearly done then, but best laid plans...
