I’ll bet there were a lot of ups and downs

K’chain Che’malle. Fricken’ dinosaurs with fricken’ sword arms.

Yeah, I feel like you’d end up spending more time explaining what the hell “sonder” means than you would have by just explaining in your own words

The video for Pump It is also amazing

Take my opinion with a slight grain of salt because it’s been at least a decade since I read the book and a half of the series that I got through, but from what I recall the books just didn’t really have much to them - flat characters, awkward dialogue, and the actual prose itself was pretty bad. It was also boring enough that I just didn’t care about anything that was happening, and I’d read enough good fantasy by the time I read Eragon that its flaws were hard to look past - I know the dude was a teenager when he wrote it, but that doesn’t make the work magically better. Not trying to shit on anybody’s parade, but it just really wasn’t my thing.

I don’t know about worse, but the Eragon books and movie are equally terrible.

Malazan Book of the Fallen, Gentlemen Bastards series, most of Neil Gaiman’s work, The Library at Mount Char, the Baru Cormorant series, Gatsby, Flowers for Algernon, and most of Plath’s work - I go back to most of those every few years.

That or when the range is so huge as to be meaningless - a $25k-150k range is completely useless.

I guess part of my stance is that my definition of a “shitty person” includes those who would rather outsource their thinking to someone else, whether that’s a political, religious, or some other figure. Although a lot of that does get down to good education (whether formal or not), which not everybody has access to. Even with my relatively privileged upbringing I’ve had to unlearn a lot of crap over the years, and not everybody has that luxury.

Yeah you’re not wrong, that’s why I put the “and/or”.

I’d argue that if ANY ideology can convince you it’s ok to shoot children in the head, you’re already a shitty person and/or psychopath.

The “smart home” story in particular is oddly prescient.

“Watching porn at work, so both.”

I can’t believe it
