    There should be a way to tag everyone except the mods using a single @. Oh, by the way, I lost the game.

      I hope it goes well as well. We love a lot of the same things, so it probably will.

      Never heard of him. Is his music good?

      His music is phenomenal! He's the guy who did Golden Hour, but his other stuff is even better than that one. Moon and Back, Catch me and I Can't Help It are my favorites probably by him. I recommend his music for everyone.

      I might check it out.

    I do. With around 160 mods. Do you play Baldur's Gate 3?

    380 million privately owned firearms and probably a trillion rounds of ammo speaks real darn loud.

    You realize he was never arrested, right? We went straight from reasonable suspicion to trial.

    Opinion of the day #7: you shouldn't force people to be outside of their comfort zone. Just because you think someone might enjoy it, doesn't mean that they will.

    STOP REPLYING TO THIS THREAD, GOSH DARNIT! i had a four-day streak...

    If I knew what would happen to me, yeah. Have you ever been to an opera?
  11. The cheeseman
    I have. TPBM listens to classical music.

    How did the race go?

      It…went. I got really bad heat exhaustion my first lap, so I was nauseated and freezing cold even though it was like 90 degrees. So I DNF’d, which wasn’t great, but there are things we can’t control, and I’m starting to accept that. Thanks for asking!

      It really sucks that you weren't able to finish. Heat exhaustion always sucks, I had it so bad when I was in VA that I was vomiting. Will there be other races?

    3. Edema Rue

      Edema Rue

      Yeah, I get 3 more, and if I do well in these ones then I get another one at state. So there’s still more chances, which is great, though I will be starting in dead last next time.

    Barely. TPBM knows no king but the King In The North whose name is Stark!
  14. The cheeseman
    I think so... TPBM is a part of a group that meets monthly.
  15. The cheeseman
    Navani?
  16. The cheeseman
    Reading anything by Tolkien, Robert Jordan, or Sanderson and knowing that it's better than Harry Potter. Gives that warm fuzzy feeling.

    Opinion of the day #6: Rand al'Thor could in fact beat Goku. I will die on this hill.

  18. The cheeseman
    I was being drafted into the Marines and I couldn't do anything to stop it. Don't know why it was so bad, it just was. It's one of the only times a dream has woken me up. What is one thing you will do in life, no matter what?
  19. The cheeseman
    I do not. It's a picture I took at Monticello. TPBM has been on a private jet.

    Opinion of the day #5: hardcover is always better than paperback.

    Kiss sp3, kill sp2, marry sp1. D&D, Pathfinder, Warhammer 40k.
  22. The cheeseman
    I would say no, because not every story grabs my attention. TPBM works at a bookstore.
  23. The cheeseman
    Kill Star Trek, kiss Dune, marry Star Wars. Music, movies, video games.

    The job I currently have involves me washing dishes for six hours at a time. It's not the best, and I don't really like it, but they pay me 14 an hour. I've been thinking about quiting and getting a new job at somewhere like Barnes and Noble.

    I should've known better than to tell my mom that, as every time we walk into a Barnes and Noble she talks about how terrible and dark and evil all those new books are. Because once I told her that, she said that she doesn't want me working there because she doesn't like some of the books that they have there. Every time we go in together (which, since I got my driver's license, isn't that often) she looks at the SINGLE section that has LGBTQ+ books (the ones that are specifically marketed as such) and tells me I'm never going to get published unless I have gay cover characters.

    Sorry, what?

    There are publishers (lookin at you, Tor and Orbit) who will publish anything of even middling quality.

    Seriously, I just wanna work at a frickin bookstore.

      That's infuriating. My mom does the same thing, and I see why she feels that way but at the same time it's not right. Especially saying you can't work there just because not all books are perfect and clean.

    2. The cheeseman

      The cheeseman

      Exactly! She'll say something like "why can't authors now be more like they were X amount of years ago?"

      Ma'am.

      Have you read Dune? Or The Silmarillion? Or The Children of Húrin? None of those are pure in any sense of the word.

      Dune is horrific in a multitude of ways, The Silmarillion has multiple genocides, and one of the protagonists of The Children of Húrin is tortured by the devil for thirty years!

      I think the problem they see is that older books seem to teach things from it? Like in Les Miserables, you see Fantine has that whole rough section where she’s a whore. But in modern literature where there are graphic scenes like that every chapter and no reason for them I can see why they’d be so defensive.

      But there are some incredible modern books, and it isn’t right to judge all books and all bookstores because authors have the freedom to write what they want, how they want. It’s our choice to read it, and if we do so what? Different people are affected differently by the same things.
