As the world continues its descent and the list of things I can bring myself to give a shit about narrows by the day, I'm increasingly tempted to just post the sort of screeds about what we should do to multiple countries, governments and people that would probably result in a ban. It sucks that we have to tolerate them being in power, but suggesting they get the same treatment they want for the rest of us is considered unacceptable. History really did end around the turn of the millennium, and we're living in the bloopers reel, except it's not actually funny. Bottom line: lots of cunts.

I think it was also the first I came into contact with. The quality inevitably varies, but very few of them bored me. I think I might be more likely to read books in a setting if I know that multiple authors have contributed to it, because that's more interesting to me - if I didnt like the last book, maybe I'll like the next one more.
Avoid Unseen Academicals, Raising Steam and Snuff - they're inevitably disappointing, due to the advancing Alzheimer's.

Better, in their opinion, that a tacky ballroom is being installed to stroke the ego of a child rapist and traitor to the nation.

FishFingus LinkWell, OperaGX had been pretty good for me so far. It takes a little getting used to the left-hand sidebar icons, though. And some extensions arent compatible with it, like YT Sponsor Block.Well, OperaGX had been pretty good for me so far. It takes a little getting used to the left-hand sidebar icons, though.
