If it worked it then it wasn’t stupid. That’s the rule

For the one that looks most right, Gal Gadot is probably the best from this list. For the movie I’m most likely to watch? The Terry Crews version would be worth it even if it sucks

I never fully stopped using Reddit. I do use it a lot less though. Most of the subs I was there for either slowed down or stopped. One of them only has a single user who’s allowed to post now

idk, I say the same stuff regardless. Sometimes people like what I say, sometimes they don’t

They’ve been doing it a while. They even gave some free ones away to encourage people to buy more. I actually have some of the free ones because why not. I would never pay for them though

Around the point where you start looking for excuses not to read it and need to force your way through it

They don’t really fit the criteria from op, but they’re both must reads

My 3 main recommendations were already mentioned but I’ll mention them again for visibility.

Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson. There are actually multiple main characters, but the world building is top notch. I haven’t finished the series yet (it’s my “read during lunch” series atm) but so far there are 2 male main characters in the 18-25ish range

The Codex Alera by Jim Butcher. The main character starts around 12 and there are arguably multiple main characters, but it’s a damn good series. Think ancient Rome but everyone controls elementals

Lightbringer by Brent Weeks. A fantastic series where the government and religions of the world are built around the magic system. The series happens over a few years but the main character starts at around 15

Since I mentioned Lightbringer I also want to mention The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. It’s a dark fantasy series featuring magically gifted assassins. Most of the good guys are criminals and murderers. It’s a brutal series with an excellent cast of characters and a world that feels like it’s been through hell. The main character starts off as a kid, but is in his 20s by the end of the series

If you don’t mind a somewhat bleak post apocalyptic book, I really liked Metro 2033 by Dmitri Glukhovsky.

There’s a game series based on it too, but you asked for books and I haven’t played the games

If you look between the seriously struggling Canadian flag and the big circle that says OSU! There’s a carefully animated Bad Apple music video. It starts pretty much right away so it should be easy to keep track of

If they’ve been there a while they might be more dangerous to remove

I just checked the article and can we talk about The Rainbow Valley for a second? It sounds so nice, but it’s actually a hole full of corpses in colorful clothing. Why would anyone climb Everest?

Iirc Stardust does, in fact, have pirates. This chart is lying to you! Airship Pirates are pirates too

I think the Tomatometer is just based on critic reviews. Audience reviews are symbolized by popcorn

Nuking your comments doesn’t hurt Reddit or Spez, it just hurts other users who are looking for the answers that you gave. If you want to leave Reddit, it’s better to just leave

After a lot of searching on Rotten Tomatoes, Venom? Fun and kinda goofy suoerhero comedy. I definitely liked it enough to watch the sequel

It’s a combination of mood and setting. The mood should be serious and the world should be harsh. Grimdark fantasy is kind of a subcategory where the world is completely hopeless as opposed to just being a bit harsh.

The most famous dark fantasy (or depending on who you ask grimdark) series that I can think of is The Witcher. You probably know a bit about about it but there really are no proper good guys. Just Geralt who at least cares enough to try sometimes

Another pretty well known (but kinda controversial) one is Goblin Slayer. This one has some… interesting ideas about goblins. It does do a decent job of making them a credible threat though and you can understand why the goblin slayer wants to make them extinct. An interesting thing about this one is that the characters don’t have actual names. This makes them feel disposable to some extent and adds to the general feel of it

Best app I’ve used so far. Why are there so many furry porn communities anyway? They’re pretty much my whole blocklist

Imagine seeing a tiny, fast speck that can easily just be static or a small piece of trash on the wind after days of nothing. You probably wouldn’t immediately report it either. And that’s assuming you noticed it at all. Bees are very small, especially when you’re looking at them with a device meant to detect planes

Damn that looks cool
