The girls are taught in manners and are transformed to be beautiful. They are stripped and ranked on beauty publicly at their academy (donโt really know if it was an actual school or not). They regularly meet with their male suitors for matchmaking: they meet and talk in a big open space or hall, but thereโs private rooms to have solo conversations. The villain is the most beautiful girl who is an obvious shoo in to get the princeโs (or the richest/most elite, donโt remember why he was the best suitor) hand, since they were obviously perfect for each other and had built a relationship over several meetings, but the prince chooses the main character instead. I read at probably around 11 years old at the public library, was definitely a teen/YA book.
Random details
- a yellow dress, maybe?
- the prince pressures our main character to have sex in a private room, when they exit into the hall everyone knows what they did
- I think he betrayed her, humiliated her on purpose for the female antagonist?
- her shame makes her go down a super long elevator in the palace where the girls can erase their own memories?? I think??
- I could be misremembering but the lead may have been black? (The book is not The Belles btw)
To be honest we were tempted to say โ..whatever shitty central bank..โ in the title because for the majority of countries it is unfortunately true. A central bank is just one of many state or public institutions human beings established and delegated decision making rights to in order not to starve to death or kill each other. In some places having those institutions in place did not help because when you have such control and power in your hands it is very difficult to avoid abusing the power without even noticing it or thinking that it is all for the good reasons. Today, as part of Canary Academy initiative, weโll try to ponder if DAO is a legitimate turn in the evolution of governance institutions that can help us break through the current mire.

First off, DAO stands for Decentralised Autonomy Organisation and it is just a form of the existence of an organisation and nothing else. Organisation is a number of agents (people or other organisations or maybe artificial intelligence in the future) who pursue common interests thus they need coordination. Examples of the organisation is a commercial corporation, a government, a charity fund, an army or a band. Some are extremely complex (a countryโs government), some are very simple (band).
As soon as agents get together to pursue common interests they need to establish some rules, ways of working to coordinate their actions in order to progress otherwise it will be a mess. One of the most important areas where they need to agree is how decisions are to be made and this can take different forms either stemming from the cultural and religious heritage or from the buoyancy of reckless youth or from whatever other values you put in the first place. For example, if we look at how the countries are ruled โ there are so many variations but the most notable are monarchy/dictatorship (the decisions are ultimately made by โjust because they were born like thatโ Queen or King or by a self-appointed dictator), democracy (the decisions are made by the elected officials elected by the representative bodies whose members are elected by the public) โ there are different variations of those that differ in details and authenticity (raise a hand who can relate to a โfakeโ democracy) and things are often mixed, i.e. monarchy is maint

The Sk Gaming Academy manager shared in a tweet longer all the problems that the academy team has been dealing with this split. This looks really bad for a LEC org that has been doing nonsense moves in LEC too.
I'm looking for some academy drama recommendations, something fun, light, and easy to watch. I liked extraordinary you. And I recently loved Racket Boys. I'm fine if there's romance in the drama but I don't care if there isn't.
Also a plus if the drama is also aesthetic :)

The BestOf awards are the most wonderful time of the year: You help us make a list of the most dramatic happenings of 2019, and the admins give us a bunch of gold to distribute to our subscribers to reward them for their efforts. Our categories for this year are:
-
Best drama of the year: This could be a single post, or it could be a drama wave that spawned many posts.
-
Most dramatic subreddit banning (or quarantining): The ban hammer fell heavily this year, but which ban/quarantine of a subreddit was the most notable, dramatic, and even delicious?
-
Most dramatic mod team: For the mod team on reddit who was the center, or even the cause, of the biggest shitstorm(s)
-
Most dramatic small subreddit: For a subreddit with 200,000 subscribers or less that caused drama far beyond its meager size.
-
Most dramatic big subreddit: For the subreddit with more than 200,000 subscribers that managed to punch out the other heavyweights to become the most dramatic of the year.
-
Stupidest argument: For the drama featured on SRD that made you think the most "how are people arguing about this!?"
-
Best write-up: This year many of SRD's submitters made beautiful, well formatted posts that had great writing and great links. Nominate your favorite write up on SRD.
-
Best SRD submitter: Who posts the best submissions to SRD? Many things could give the winner the edge here, whether it's their creative titles, their prolific activity, or their finding of drama in obscure places.
-
Best SRD commenter: For your favorite commenter on SRD. The taste of the userbase will show through in the winner, since they could be insightful, snarky, or even just a shitposter.
Below, each category is a top-level comment. Reply to these comments to make your nomination. To keep the thread uncluttered, any other top level comments will be deleted.
##When nominating drama, you must include at least one link in your nomination to support it
Any nomination that does not do this will be removed. It's also a good idea to explain why you think your nomination should win.
This nomination thread will run until January 4th, and then on the 5th, we will start posting one voting thread a day for each category. It will take about 10 days to run through them all. Once voting has concluded, we will hand out the gold.
For some of the awards, the SRD user who nominated gets the gold. But for awards where applicable, the person whose SRD post was linked nominated will also receive gold. (

I watched Arsenal Military Academy and Winter Begonia a while ago and really absolutely loved them. I really liked the costumes and just the whole vibes/aesthetics of it. Are there any dramas that are similar?
