It's definitely been more than a decade. But I keyed back in to get back in the headspace for the prequel book she released. I recommend it too, if you haven't checked it out. Not quite the same tone, but I liked where she went with it.

Peta expressed genuinely loving her from day one. On the train, when he's holding her he even tells her about how he felt and why he threw the bread, feeling it was selfishly motivated.
Hers were confused, and she remarks that maybe, had life been normal, she could have developed feelings for him or gale for real, but because she didn't have the chance she's never sure which part of the show she even believes in. She accepts by the end that he loves her and that she loves him as much as she feels she's capable of after all the trauma
And if you got 'romance plot' as the major storyline and not 'surviving capitalist techno-hellscape post failed-revolution', I think you read Divergent and said "these are all the same books"
Reread those books, if you read them.
The point is that she doesn't WANT either of those two boys. She's forced out of a friendship with both due to their feelings, and she has to play the part to keep some kind of normalcy for both the capital's cameras and for her partner's mental sanity and safety while in the ring. She's never happy, never CHOOSES Peta, and is the result of trying to cope/maintain sense of self while constantly shoved into roles constructed for her (the Volunteered Tribute, The Girl on Fire, The Mockingbird all being personas she takes on behalf of someone else's needs/desires and often just survival for her/her family)
Yeah, but he's saying skill issue with your reading retention.
But I'd agree with the poster above that I remember plenty of camp half blood. I don't 'remember' hogwarts, but I remember the same 'bits' and fields and important repeated places as much as I remember then from the Percy Jackson series.
Maybe it's that there isn't 7 movies tied to it to keep it fresh in your brain with extra images.
Except January 6th, apparently
The reverse in this situation would be a closeted queer person outing someone for being...NOT shitty and detrimental to other people?
Nah, don't out people who aren't shitty. But if you're an active republican, ESPECIALLY if you're a political configure, and you trash the gay community you belong to? Fuck em. They aren't under the umbrella of protection the moment they try to push people out from under it.
Really wanted an internal nod where he goes to jail for terrorism and his wife takes over and blames Bob, keeping the feud alive
Seconded. Just beat dredge the other day and MAN, what a different kind of gameplay, but I found it really interesting.
Only Denuvo has reported that it's better for sales, the rest of us don't have data on that and I'm not trusting the wolf with Hen House design
I wouldn't say that's contrarianism. I've heard criticism for Jerry Seinfeld's comedy since at least 2004, calling out observation comics as a whole was trending at the time of his show even. Larry David made that show great, and some of the cast played their roles really well, Jerry Seinfeld wasn't one of them for me and seemingly a lot of people.
You can say Israel has the right to defend itself and mean it as long as you're talking about the immediate retaliation (even then, as a nation with access to high level intelligence and technology, the responses civilian death was still unacceptable).
You CANNOT say it in relation to the months that came after. Israel isn't 'defending itself' anymore, their borders aren't in dire need, their citizens as a whole are not in danger. But, similar to Russia prior to Ukraine's successful long range strikes into their territory, Israel will spout nonsense about protecting it's citizens that see danger on a scale 1/10000th of that of the occupied territory of Gaza.
