Surely, we're all still newbies. We can't learn an instrument in two days, we should be giving ourselves more grace that we will improve with practice instead of giving up the second things get tough.

Respectfully, it's been out for two days; why not take a break and come back to it tomorrow?

I'm sorry, if I'd have known you'd go immediately to the lowest-hanging non sequitur on the bigotry tree, I'd have saved the bandwidth. Please and kindly humble yourself by engaging with actual humans instead of the strawmen you've been fed by reactionary media.

Whether they truly support Trump in their heart of hearts or they just want to stick it to the NDP, they have voted against condemning an action that will harm British Columbians. If they think harming us is preferable to being on the same side as the government... Well, that's par for the cons.

Sterling advice. I personally have always adhered to the Fibonacci reading order for Lord of the Rings: read chapter one twice, then chapters 2, 3, 5, 8, and so on. Chapter 55, The Land of Shadow, is the perfect place to end the story, and everything that comes after is just fluff.

I find this to be a particular problem for me when a story changes storytellers, like Wheel of Time or Star Wars.

I have found myself in conversation using the term ‘worldbuilding poisoning’ to describe books I’ve read that visibly suffered from the dull assumption that a speculative setting must always be a fully realised secondary world that you could also, for example, play a tabletop game in.

I would actually pay money to have Christine Baranski and Peter MacNicol read these. Not a lot of money, but still.

Like, that's fair, but it's also not particularly what those episodes are about

The format of classic Star Trek is "A wild allegory appears, Bones appeals to compassion, Spock appeals to logic," and I don't really understand how so many people seemed to have missed what SciFi is.

I get frustrated when people do "Black Mirror is just technology bad" takes, because, no! Black Mirror is about people! Technology is just the catalyst to explore sociological ideas! Like with SciFi in general!

I think Watchmen is probably the closest he's come to doing SciFi? Correct me if I'm forgetting something.
I think that Seven Samurai Space-opera Star Wars fanfiction is playing to his strengths and he should make more of that.
