The Apollo missions were staged, that’s 100% a fact.
Jokes aside, yeah Soviets are the answer. If there was the slightest inkling that we faked it, they wouldn’t have come out to congratulate us.

Publication order is probably fine, though it takes a few books for him to settle into his general story structure. It’s not the only way, and unless you’re going to sprint through them in relatively quick succession it’s probably not the best way, as you may get lost in some of the focused character development.
This is a bit of an open question****. Most of the books center around one or another subgroup of characters (City Watch, the wizards, the witches, Death, etc.), although there’s some overlap. The way I’ve been going through seems to be roughly the agreed upon “best” way: choose one of these sub-groups and read all the books that center around them in order, then move on to another.
Those sub-series are relatively self-contained, so I think you get more from exploring a theme from beginning to end than jumping from theme to theme. There are several tie-ins, but I don’t think they’re substantial enough to agonize over missing context.
Personally, I’d either start with Guards! Guards! or Going Postal, as they’re the beginnings of the more grounded sub-series and give you a good foundation of the world in general, and Ankh-Morpork in particular. But as long as you’re not skipping ahead in a sub-series, you should be fine.

I was gonna make a joke, but then I read the article and
After serving enlisted in the United States Air Force, Eiffel entered the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1993. In her first year, she was sexually assaulted by another cadet, but thwarted the attack with a training sword. She was subsequently dismissed from the Academy with a personality disorder: “I really felt that the only way for me to sleep is if I was holding onto something, like my sword, because that was the one thing that protected me. And it just got worse,” she said.
kinda takes the fun out of it

Do you not even remember your own point?
If Democrats would stop voting for what they thought was the lesser evil things wouldn’t keep getting worse
That’s precisely splitting the vote.
- Comment on Should this be the year we finally try voting for other candidates? 1 week ago:
So then you admit that it’s a useless hypothetical, and your proposed strategy doesn’t actually accomplish anything except splitting the vote to let the far right win more?

When did I “shit on” it? I’m just saying it’s a complicated undertaking with practical concerns that require consideration.

When did I say that? I’m for a general strike, I’m just not for a half-assed general strike that’s doomed to fizzle out within a week.
- Comment on Should this be the year we finally try voting for other candidates? 1 week ago:
Successful strikes have had strike funds. Unfunded strikes fail.
I never said to do nothing. But action for action’s sake without setting the necessary foundation is foolish and counterproductive.

Successful strikes require a strike fund, money to pay bills while hourly workers are not working hours. Americans largely live paycheck to paycheck, with little to no savings. Without funds, strikes end prematurely due to the threat of starvation and eviction.

If you could get every Democratic voter to collectively agree to that, yeah, sure.
Do you have an actionable plan to get 80 million voters to suddenly vote differently? Because if not, that’s kind of a useless hypothetical.

I don’t think you understand. Axe is the lesser evil with certain 14-18 year old boys. The alternative is heinous body odor. Showers are an “also ran”.

As to growing in cracks, Saxifragales, the order to which Kalanchoe belongs, literally means “rock breaker”. It’s an incredibly morphologically diverse and interesting order.

- Comment on What television series in your opinion had very good writing and character depth? 2 weeks ago:
Extremely loosely based. Like, almost no actual story similarities. They kind of adapted the premise, to a degree, but that’s about it.
Still an enjoyable show, but not really representative of either Dirk Gently book. The books are really really good, if you like Adams’ writing. I had to stop at least once per page reading Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul to sit and appreciate a fantastic sentence.
