What are some book series like Harry Potter [quaint, pleasant, deep lore] but less childish and bigoted?

Jump

  • The Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty was very enjoyable. Still YA, but engaging throughout.

  • Agreed, especially now that the second trilogy is underway. Hoping the next book follows the same more mature progression and can wrap up the story in a satisfying way.

    • Porn is harder to access

  • When you signed up, did you select "Show NSFW content?"

    • What is your favorite non-alcoholic beer?

    Jump

  • I had a NA Guinness Stout that I really enjoyed. Had I not followed it up with an actual Guinness, I may have been convinced it was the real thing.

    • Comparison of population, wage, and home price growth

    Jump

  • Eh, at least in my experience, interest in most normal mortgages ends up less than the standard deduction so it can't be claimed. It was a change Trump made to the tax code I think. I don't understand enough about it to know if it affects me negatively or not. I know it's better for me to claim the standard deduction instead of itemizing my deductions. This means I can't claim interest paid (which is bad), but the standard deduction is higher than it was before, so I think I'm still claiming more money as untaxable (which is good, I think?).

    Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can chip in.

    • 400% turnover rate

  • I can't remember, was The Jungle written in 1904 or 1980? Because this storyline seems really familiar.

    • Land use in the US

    Jump

  • I don't thing it's location specific. It's more like a pie chart where it's grouping the similar land typess together and then arbitrarily placing them on the US map.

    • It is crazy to me how much the lemmy experience has improved since joining here from Reddit a few weeks ago.

    Jump

  • Agreed! And less buggy. 2 weeks ago the servers were constantly crashing or the apps were glitching out. You can see the progress day by day.

    • Anyone else feel like ~99% of their life was kind of wasted?

    Jump

  • Man, that doesn't resonate with me at all. I don't think there is any point to living other than just enjoying your time here. Sure, work when necessary to be able to afford the necessities, develop some skills to be able to afford a few luxuries, but honestly just do things that make you happy. Self-improvement as a reason to live seems awful. If you're unable to improve, are you a failure? If you're already happy as you are, should you just end it?
