That hurts with how accurate I fear it is.

I try to keep a list of stuff to do in edits. It's not an easy habit to get into.

I have never in my life had soup that tasted like I was eating a balloon. Until now. Holy fuck how the hell do you mess up soup that bad?

Pedantic I know, but I find it amusing how she doesn't change the subject (of her speech) from talking about the president to talking about glorifying him (assuming Jesus). And then keeps talking about Trump as if she never stopped, and only at the end mentions Jesus at all.

I wonder how many more years must pass before things affecting trans people stop being framed as new.

Nothing says "I failed grammar" like seeing the freaking Oxford comma and thinking it's something only done by a computer.

If companies are not going to stop the issues on their own sites it's your job to *MAKE THEM.*

This is passing the buck. Putting the onus on users rather than holding corporations to account. The question is are you doing this because you're too afraid or paid off to do the job that needs doing?

I've been with my wife for 14 years and she's still anxious to hear my books as I write them. I also still make her laugh all the time.

So in the only circle that matters, the court of my wife's opinion, I'm a pretty big deal.

Loved the first game. Sadly the 2nd game seems to have issue with my PC as it just crashes constantly even though I surpass all system reqs.

There's a quote I like (no idea where I read it, since it was ages ago) that goes: "Time is nothing more than an abstract concept used by carbon based lifeforms to measure their rate of decay."

Some serious questions if you're serious about your stance.

A) I have DNA from both my parents. Which part of my DNA says male or female?

B) I produce no gametes. What does that make me?

It is. I know people who still play it frequently.

I have that game and a passing knowledge of Irish. I should do that to learn more.

I'm writing as fast as I can!

It's the last part of the quote that gets me.

Someone who won't stand up until they're affected is a fair-weather ally in waiting.

I read that and the thing that came to mind was:

Excoriate, exfoliate, destroy. (To the tune of Exterminate Annihilate Destroy by Rotersand)

I wrote a book extrapolating real experiences into fiction with a (obviously) self insert character named Melissa and I liked it so much I took it for myself.

So fiction mimicked life and then life mimicked fiction.

As a Manitoban I am rather lucky and happy to be here right about now.

You can amend searches with '-ai' so that it doesn't generate the summary at all.

The movie was a lot better than I thought it would be.

There's also a ton of covers of "Golden" out there to get lodged in your brain too.

Soon as I stop struggling so much with plotting it I'll be unstoppable.

This one feels like it's taking so much longer than the first.

I really like the sound of the 'Positivity Read.' As much as we can tell ourselves to take all feedback sometimes it's nice to just hear what we do well.

Bookmarked for sure (I will need an editor some day)

I once did that with just a title for a book.

To be fair (to myself) the book came out okay... though it needs a lot of work still.

I do not own a sword, but I would be willing to.

For my current WIP: because I picked a random number close to my age. (Strange to think I might be as old as my protag by the time I'm done writing it.)

Even if someone could make that kind of money under totally ethical means (I write fiction, what can I say) they'd still be a bad person because of this.

Every moment they hoard wealth while countless suffer is another moment they're a monster.

This Elden Ring randomizer seed is a troll.

I have been all over the base game, looted so many items, killed so many bosses. I was even working toward the DLC just to find a single great rune.

Then I said to my wife "I bet I can get to 100 bosses killed before I find one."

Boss #99 dropped one.

If they actually cared about protecting kids they'd hold social media companies responsible for their illegal activites.

They want to ban kids but not the CSAM machine?

That's not protecting kids, that's isolating them while they abuse them.

Necrosis.

That it takes Epstein and another illegal war to *start* to crack these people means that all the stuff before hand: ICE killing people in cold blood, all the torture, all the destruction, the bigotry, the hatred (etc) was all okay.

But they're super nice. Sure.
