what??? me????? enjoying it when a character i love is having a Bad time??? i would never..........slanderous.......

speaking of realm of the elderlings, i've been casually re-listening to the audiobook for Fool's Errand and I keep thinking of one change that would make the whole series soooo much funnier. what if the fool was ethically opposed to hereditary monarchies.

(actively working to preserve the Farseer line) "morally i don't agree with this but damn if all my prophecies don't keep saying this is the only way to save the world" :\ :\ :\ :\

Propaganda for Realm of the Elderlings :

"My dad's friend handed me the first book in this series when I was 10 years old and, with that simple act, absolutely rewired my brain"

Propaganda for October Daye :

"some of the absolute best urban fantasy out there! watch as Toby makes terrible life decisions and slowly amasses a wonderful group of friends and family around her, unwillingly on her part at first <3 plus an amazingly intricate and long-running plot!"

Reasons why computer problems seem to mysteriously vanish as soon as a technician shows up:

You were spacing out and skipping a step somewhere without realising it, and you can’t reproduce it when you try to demonstrate it because now you’re paying attention to what you’re doing

It’s an intermittent electrical connection fault that’s being aggravated by movement/vibrations in your desk; you need to check your cables

The act of explaining the problem to someone caused you to figure out what you were doing wrong

The real cause of the problem was somewhere upstream of your terminal device – for example, at the network service provider – and it got fixed at the source while you were waiting

Your computer is in a location with poor airflow and is overheating; waiting for the technician to arrive gave it a chance to cool off

Despite all appearances to the contrary, modern computers actually have very good fault recovery, and most minor problems will sort themselves out on their own if you give it a minute

The bulk sale of mechanical pencils is what’s wrong with this country…. To encourage the quick disposal of this elegant device that was originally conceived to be refillable and modular…. Trying desperately to recreate the ecstasy of a bouquet of freshly sharpened wooden pencils… we should each be given one mechanical pencil at birth and only given a new one if there is a fire

every major structural social problem right now is basically "we don't have enough skilled workers on the ground" and the reason is always "well we've been intentionally underpaying and understaffng them for decades to increase corporate profits" and somehow the news always just mentions the "shortage" without digging into the cause

air travel is a mess? shortage of air traffic controllers - for some mysterious reason

logistics a mess? shortage of truck drivers - for some mysterious reason

public transit can't meet demand? shortage of bus drivers - for some mysterious reason

We even mysteriously have shortages of doctors, nurses, teachers... FOR SOME MYSTERIOUS REASON

FUCKING PAY PEOPLE AND HIRE ENOUGH STAFF
