People don't read escapist literature looking to hit an abstract bar of quality, they're looking for stories and worlds and characters that specifically resonate with them. Fanfiction often does a very good job of this!

This is a girl that consumes multiple fantasy books a week so I think her sense of relative quality is probably better than most. It is therefore probable that she knew Harry Potter sucks ass on its merits all along, and only continued to profess fandom up until that point for social reasons. Good thinking, Rylinks.

I guess that doesn't explain still wanting to read the fanfiction though.
Well, I mean, 50 Shades started out as fan fiction.

Nah, it’s HP as written by Ayn Rand.

Well, I just saw another study that says this again, so I guess you were right

It's weird to me because surely the very highest incomes have no student debt

But the holding of student debt tracks higher than average incomes, apparently

They're talking about the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion office
In her first move, Sailor eliminated the word “equity” and replaced it with “opportunity.”

Quite possibly, but the timing is just bad for that. Ideally you get re-elected as Governor before you start your presidential run. That gives you the opportunity to prove your abilities and that you're electable. Virginia's weird single term/off year cycle means he'd about have to start running for governor at the end of his first year in office, or about 18 months after his term is up (this presumes that Trump or Biden is president in 2024), or about 66 months after his term is up (presuming De Santis wins 2024).

He's probably going to have to take a run at Tim Kaine's seat in 2024.

It's the same with DeSantis -- a breathless media recognizes that he wants to be president someday, but thinks that that means in 2024. At age 45! Pffffft he wants to be president someday, but I doubt in 2024

Obama was 47.

DeSantis is running in 2024, and he's probably running even if Trump does as well.

If something happens to Trump and he doesn't/can't run, then I would say that DeSantis is in play. Otherwise, I only give it a 40 percent chance

Over the years I have looked in worlds 1x2, 1x4, 2x2, 2x4, 2x8, 3x2, and even 4x4 a few times. I have never found the princess, I have however managed to build a rather nice game room.

Perhaps the real princess was the game room we built along the way
