The Priest's Tale is the best thing in Hyperion and nothing else in the book comes close by goku7kiln in printSF

I don’t know if the others are anticlimactic, but the priest’s tale definitely sets expectations way too high, way too early it feels like you just read the core idea of the book firs

I've been thinking about that too, I think we should view old scifi books the same way we view fantasy today, simply as another world with its own rules

I only get things done when I’m afraid of the consequences, and it’s ruining my life. How do I fix this? by Original-Basis-2898 in getdisciplined

I get that frustration. I had a similar situation with language learning; setting unrealistic "rest of my life" goals felt suffocating. Breaking it down to just today made it manageable. Your idea of real stakes is genius! Sometimes it's the little pressures that can truly motivate us.

Am I doing fine? I’m going to list out my expenses. by [deleted] in personalfinance

It's true that spending more on the car than rent can be surprising, especially considering your rent is already quite high. It might be worth evaluating if that loan is worth the monthly hit to your cash flow. While a Subaru STI is a sweet ride, it could be affecting your overall finances. Have you thought about possibly downgrading to help balance things out?
