All by Tamsyn Muir.

This series is scifi fantasy. It's about necromancers in an ancient religion that spans a planetary system, and some very dramatic lesbians.

The books are each from a different characters view point and you get to piece everything together through their eyes as you go. This results in puzzles nested within puzzles and lore so deep, it's going to be mined for fanfic till our world ends.

Book 1 is the easiest to read and a lot of fun as it unfolds and even more fun to reread once you've finished book 3. Also the battle scene in book 1 is probably the best battle scene I've ever read for how clearly all the chaos and carnage is depicted.

Books 2 and 3 will confuse the fuck out of you but you will eventually start to figure out what's actually going on, and when the dots start connecting they will feed into speculation and obsession, everything means something else and deciphering the narrative subtext is addictive.

Every reread of the series is so much fun as once you have an idea of what's going on, words will rearrange themselves in your head as you pass them on the page and suddenly there's a joke, or a bit of lore or something that clicks into place and makes sense in the most blindingly obvious way.

The 4th book Alecto The Ninth, is due to release soon, hopefully. Please.

At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from the classic scifi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.

Tbf, I did actually try looking it up but I got no proper results, just globes with where ohio was pointed out on them, and it was too small to see the shape of and then I got distracted. This was a boring story, sorry. Thank you for the side by side comparison!

Is Ohio Polska shaped?

It's fucked up how the person talking about masturbating over these bank notes has so many upvotes, but the people calling it creepy for sexualising school kids have so many downvotes and angry replies defending this as 'not sexual'.

That's a crocodile, they have pointy faces. Aligators are the ones with the wide snouts.

Is that the Poland globe?

and he heard it...

...because every electrical appliance in your house is now connected to the internet and recording you.

There was a post on one of the science or science memes communities recently with a (badly done) study about how the world can support billions more people if only [long list of impossible things here].

Many of the commenters there were talking about how if we could just organise into far left anarchist militias, and violently overthrow all the governments to impose authoritarian rules on everyone like banning cars and animal agriculture, we could really have 10 billion people living in a perfect communist utopia on earth.

It was very amusing reading. /s

(For the record, I'm not opposing veganism or cars being bad. It was all the defending of bad science and talk of anarchist authoritarian regimes, which was so darkly funny to me.)

If 1994 is your birth year and you're from the UK, I'm honestly kinda baffled by you not knowing what a chav is.

Did you like, not go outside or watch tv between 2000 and 2013? It was most prominent in that era, there were hoards of chavs in every town centre and was referenced everywhere from tv sketch shows like Little Britain and Catherine Tate, to politics where bloody David Cameron said 'hug a hoodie' practically every five minutes for what felt like years.

Chav was/is a working class youth subculture based around rap music and street fashion. Some are nice people and some are violent pricks, like with any cross section of society. As a queer goth kid, I mainly encountered the violent prick kind while growing up but I've known a few who were alright over the years too.

Lmao your brother is a chav

Many canal boats use coal stoves for heating. We got through quite a few of bags of coal each winter back when that was my life.
