And he doesn't just understand all that stuff....he understands shit about how the universe works, which is why his magic systems and politics and stuff are so well written in all his books. There's a certain point where I can say he does understand. As someone dealing with mental illness, his treatment of it is some of. The most refreshing I've ever seen. |

OctilIery posted...YOUHAVENOHOPE posted...Ones own upbringing doesn't decide how well they understand other people Coming from a "privileged" background (quotes because I don't actually know details of his own history) makes it harder to understand, and thus to write about, those viewpoints. Just shows how dedicated and talented Sanderson is. |

| OctilIery 08/20/18 12:42:37 PM #1 | Is one of the best fantasy authors out there in dealing with race, class struggles, mental illness, good female characters, etc etc. But Sanderson is just that good x.x |

| OctilIery 08/02/18 11:27:12 AM #16 | Solar roadways are a terrible idea. They're super expensive and the maintenance would be too, because just a few weeks of use and they'd be so dirty that they'd be almost useless. |

| OctilIery 07/28/18 5:53:10 PM #7 | Corman321 posted... OctilIery posted...Imagine not realising the only reason Gunn was fired this time was because of the merger making everything sensitive. Because they wanted to avoid any potential scandal while working with the biggest deal in their history. RchHomieQuanChi posted... Yes, why would the company with a reputation of catering to kids cut ties with a director who joked about raping them? They actually did. This whole drama came up when he was new to Disney, and they kept him on. The fact that he didn't delete the tweets after that makes me lose a lot of sympathy. |

Possibly next year, but almost certainly before the end of his term. By the end of the year we're going to have a majority democrat congress, so he isn't going to have the cowards backing him, and likely by then Mueller will have enough to charge his entire family. |

OctilIery posted...Alpha218 posted...There were rumors that at least part of the Guardians cast was going to be killed off at some point after Infinity War. If Disney really does have a stick that far up their asses they can have the script rewritten to pull it off earlier than people thought. The snaps aren't permanent. The non snap deaths probably are. |
