Fascinating to observe how, as the word "nerd" takes on positive connotations, we need a new word to fill the original definition, and we've settled on "reddit". I can't wait for this antitreadmill to reclaim reddit as a term of endearment in 20 years

The transhumanists are sending theoretical gangs of hypothetical cyborg warriors to possibly some day kick my ass after I called their ideology reddit

Like regular water, heavy water or deuterium oxide is colorless and participates in many of the same reactions as H2O. However, most people report the two types of water taste different. Heavy water has a slightly sweet flavor. Ice cubes made out of heavy water float in heavy water, but sink in regular water.

oh wow a cafe needs to offer this

I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-

like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?

So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?

But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.

It's MY URL.

IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.

THE ONE *I WROTE*.

In *2013*.

And FORGOT ABOUT

BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING

And I'm just sitting here now staring into space thinking about every shitty story I've ever written now like

IT WAS ALL GOOD?

IT WAS GOOD THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME??

I'M A GOOD WRITER?????

Thinking about Lirin again... in family life, he was a paragon of virtue who did everything right, whereas Dalinar was a bastard drunk who did everything wrong; but Lirin neither understands nor respects his son, while Dalinar both understands and respects both of his. So everyone hates Lirin and loves Dalinar. Including their respective children.

Ultimately, Lirin's hidebound dedication to moral rectitude leaves him too inflexible to manage real human contact, even if his morals are good.

I understand people who hate lirin (he is a very frustrating character) but I also think they tend to ignore that he spent years believing he killed both his sons because he refused to give in to roshone. The way he treats kaladin is awful, but it comes from a place of intense shame and regret, not a place of judgement. When he tells kal that he should've obeyed and proven himself to his masters instead of fighting against them, he says it because that's what he wished he had done. Lirin in RoW is not the same person from the WoK flashbacks and his extreme and irrational moral rigidity is the result of trauma and grief, not just "he's a surgeon so he thinks killing is bad."

TLDR lirin is more complex than people give him credit for and also your son miraculously returning from the dead doesn't negate believing for years that you killed him by having the audacity to fight against your oppressors. thank you for coming to my ted talk
