This is cool! I've been using Bruno for a while now as an alternative. Maybe I'll give this a go.

Not dumb question, yes there were some of the mountain ranges we have today were a part of it.

While I understand your perspective, I believe we hold differing interpretations of the series. I am not seeking an argument, as I consider this to be a fantastic piece of literature, and I believe Weeks effectively portrays religious piety. Additionally, it features remarkably strong female characters. It is quite interesting how we can read the same words on a page and arrive at such different interpretations. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Can you tell me more? I'm not religious and don't know much about Mormonism. I've heard similar things about other authors like Sanderson. I gotta say, the comments are a bit underwhelming since no one explains the actual problem.

Here are some series I can't recommend enough:

Cradle by Will Wight — A young man born too weak to matter in a world where martial artists can shatter mountains and walk on air decides that's not good enough. Starts small and intimate, then escalates into genuinely insane power fantasy. The progression system is crack cocaine. 12 books, all out, binge-worthy.

The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan — A slum girl accidentally discovers she has magic, which is very illegal if you're not from the right family. Gets accepted into the Magicians' Guild under suspicious circumstances and slowly uncovers something rotten at its core. Cozy, character-driven, and surprisingly political.

The Lightbringer Series by Brent Weeks — Magic is literally made of light and color, and drafters slowly go mad from using it. Packed with political scheming, morally grey characters, and one of the best slow-burn mystery plots in fantasy. Weeks hid twists in plain sight for five books and sticks the landing.

The Licanius Trilogy by James Islington — Time travel, prophecy, and a magic system where using power costs you years off your life. Dense and intricate in the best way, the kind of series where you flip back to chapter one after finishing it and realize how much you missed. Islington clearly planned every page from the start.

All are fantastic series, happy reading! 📚

This reminds me so much of John Greens writing, check him out if you like some melancholic writing.

Twin Paradox TL;DR: Identical twins—one stays on Earth, the other rockets off near light speed and returns. Relativity says time slows for the traveler, so they age less (e.g., returns 20 while sib is 50). "Paradox" cuz from traveler's view, Earth seems to move, but acceleration/turnaround breaks the symmetry, so no real contradiction. Mind-bendy Einstein stuff. 🚀

I disagree, economy is just a term describing trade between people. It means that ypu dont have to be a farmer or fisher to feed yourself, but can be a mechanic and still get fed.

I do agree that the system has been exploited by greedy people with no moral or sense of compassion for fellow human.

Thank you for detailed explanation, I do see your point that government is not as omnipotent and superior as I might have made it out to be.

Could you just clarify, are you arguing in favor of Second Amendment or against it? I can see it being used in both cases

 

Hi! Sorry if this is a common question.

Is there a tool, search engine or methods so search for a given topic or posts on Fediverse (lemmy, kbin, mastadon, etc)? I come across a lot of great discussions and posts. It would be great to find more about a specific things, or even debugger a problem. Kind of like appending reddit to your Google search to find a niche discussion or solution.
