Frankly, I appreciate your contributions to American culture by way of the Cajun subculture. Also, your contributions to the culinary are greatly appreciated, as they are foundational to many different aspects in cooking. Those are about the only nice things I can say about your people, but I do hope that someday you clean your country of the barbarian hordes that have infested your country.

Amis patriotes américains 🇫🇷🇺🇸 Je me demandais... Vous pensez quoi de la France et de nous de maniere generale ? Soyez francs s'il vous plait 🙏🇫🇷🇺🇸🙏

@moon___ocean It’s not selfish to need help every now and again. Hang in there.

「頑張れ」って言ってくださいませんか。 あと少しまだ頑張らないといけないのに、頑張れそうになくて。明日からも乗り越えられそうになくて。みなさんの力を少しだけ貸してください。私のわがままをすみません。

@KingpinThawne So it’ll be meh to ok. Not the lightning in a bottle TLA was.

So I watched that Avatar TLAB movie and to sum it up It's like if Last Airbender was written like Legend of Korra

@sazu_samalox Whatever our governments may be doing, doesn’t change the fact that you’re a fellow human being.

@TheAKGuy Show them how it’s done.

These people are fucking parasites. How hard is it to not sexually harass/assault your staff?

@CollinRugg Retard has the audacity to besmirch a fictional hero’s name. Yep, tracks for Reddit.

NEW: Man who identified himself as ‘Harry Dresden’ in the viral Ring doorbell footage, seen breaking into the home in footage from inside the house. The resident was seen threatening to hit the intruder with a shovel. The intruder has been identified as Jason Thomas Nichols, according to Solano County records. He is facing four felony charges and his bail was set at $35,000.

That honestly tracks. A subculture that pushes literacy on its young, promotes a hard-working ethic, and community sticks together like a tick on a dog would promote success in not just this, but other facets of life. There are a lot of things about the Mormon community I respect, even though I don’t believe you guys are actually born-again Christians per the differences in belief on who Jesus is. Love you guys, regardless, and hope for a revival that shakes things up in how you guys know God.

It’s a combo. Short version, highly literate culture. Readers produce writers. Specific logistical reasons, Dave Wolverton was the creative writing teacher for most of your list. And Dave Doerings old school LTUE conference in Utah created a really helpful writer network for that generation of writers. Sincerely- yet another New York Times bestselling fantasy author Mormon.

There seems to be a higher percentage of successful Mormon sci-fi/fantasy Authors, including myself, but why? Idiots would say "bEcaUse tHe bOOk oF mOrMOn iS fANtAsy!" without mentioning the talking donkey, surviving in a giant fish, parting of seas and people rising from the dead, from the bible because the bible is more fantastical than the Book of Mormon. The real answer might be much simpler and I get to talk about it with @JasminRappleye ⬇️

@kayn3_ Additionally, that same small cabal of so-called voice actors are terrible at their job and don’t put good effort into emoting into their character voices.

@kayn3_ Modern dubs are largely done by a tightly closed cabal of Marxist freaks who hate the audience and the source material. There are good dubs, but at this point, if it’s new, sub-only.

black lagoon says otherwise

@Tectone Hi.

Bot purge and reply bot execution still going on. Yall still here?

@Devon_Eriksen_ @shkotobaza We don’t ask why they put cookies in the tin. We thank them for making cookies for us in addition to making a sewing kit container.

@shkotobaza Are you kidding? That's a sewing supply box. For some reason, they sell them with cookies in them.

Иностранные пользователи X Подскажите, ваши бабушки тоже хранят швейные принадлежности в коробке от печенья?

@fy_plaksa Well hello to you too!

@CorenLaVolpe Work monitor, Auxiliary monitor to hold minor windows to reference, and a chat/comms monitor. I use a three monitor setup.

Genuinely why would you ever need 3 monitors like what are u using them for

@bush_cat32 Nice.

To add to this: There are different story frameworks that can be built from that changes the calculus of character development. For example, the Hero’s Journey framework requires character growth as part of its storytelling. Reluctant or green hero, brought to adventure they aren’t willing or able to do, they change and grow to rise to the occasion through adversity, and by the end become the hero needed to answer the call. The Iconic framework does not require character growth, as it throws a character with well established traits into a situation and requires them to cope with them. Hero’s Journey examples include Star Wars (A New Hope), The Dark Crystal, Iron Man, Harry Potter (any of them), and many more. It’s an extremely popular story framework that Hollywood execs stick with because the formula has been trained into general audiences at this point. You can argue if it’s stale and overdone or if it’s driven into the ground by incompetent writers and directors, but that’s beyond the scope of what I’m talking about. The Iconic framework examples include Die Hard, Big Trouble in Little China, lots of TV shows that are episodic in nature like Star Trek, Dr Who, Hogan’s Heroes, and the like. Character growth is not precluded or prohibited in Iconic frameworks, but not a necessary component of it. For example, John McClane has personal character growth, but he’s not stumbling learning how to be a cop while saving the hostages in Nakatomi Tower. He is a competent individual responding to a situation. The movie focuses on him coping with increasingly stressful and dangerous circumstances but having the tools already to face them. One could incorrectly argue that John is a Mary Sue (or Gary Stu) character in that we don’t see a training montage or see anything showing that John is just “that good” of a cop before the movie’s conflict starts. The movie assumes that John is a competent cop responding to the situation presented him. He makes mistakes, he gets hurt, and he struggles through the movie to save the day. All-in-all, Mary Sue characters can be annoying because they come across as self-insert fanfiction characters. It’s even worse when they’re thrown into professional works where we have to suffer the mentality of someone playing with their action figures and their guy is “so much more awesomer” and clowns on everyone else. For example, a lot of the recent movies have characters that seemingly are never wrong, and their only flaw is they’re held back by ignorant people who refuse to see they’re right and perfect in every way. Carol Danvers, She-Hulk, Rey Palpatine, Michael Burnham, 13th Dr Who, and many more modern Hollywood garbage characters. And finally, to address the initial claim in the quoted tweet, one of the good examples of a Mary Sue type character would be Walker Texas Ranger’s titular character Cordell Walker. Is he a self-insert character? Yes. Does he stand head and shoulders above the rest of the cast of characters? Yes, he is a god among men. Does he have moral failings? No, he is a paragon of virtue, to the point where even in his “dark” days, he channeled his anger and wrath into being the most effective lawman Texas has ever seen. Is the show bad? No, because justice has three fists (one disguised as a chin), blue jeans, and wears cowboy boots that will introduce evil’s face to the dirt it walks on. Walker checks off all the boxes to be a Mary Sue, but the show is fun because there’s not only an audience for it, but doesn’t take itself so seriously that people can’t hop in and enjoy the ride that is bad guys getting Texas-flavored Justice.

@MUKIDEZA2 Good morning!

そろそろアメリカの兄貴たち起きてくる時間かな？ GM！！！！

@martianwyrdlord @mgarbowski Being a teenager is a very deep character flaw that, unfortunately, not everyone overcomes.

@mgarbowski Luke had deep character flaws that he needed to overcome.

Naturally she fails to understand the meaning of Mary Sue entirely. It does not mean "girl character", it means "perfect character who can do anything with no limitations". Luke Skywalker was a half decent pilot with a degree of natural ability with the Force that takes him years to develop. He isn't particularly good at anything else. From the very beginning of The Force Awakens, Rey is an expert pilot, a master martial artist, a top spaceship mechanic, and within five seconds of finding out that the Force exists ascends to the level of Jedi Master. She's also hot, smart, brave, and all the other good things. She needs neither assistance nor instruction. Character growth is unnecessary and impossible. Her only struggle is getting people to admit her natural perfect awesomeness. And even this comes easily to her.

@learning_yohei They do. In fact, we have a ton of them in Nashville, Tennessee. Largely thanks to you guys gifting us them when your consulate moved from New Orleans to Nashville. It is a lovely gift, and we enjoy a blossom festival when they bloom.

You realize the internet hasn’t forgotten your blatant disrespect for the guy who’s been exposing the fraud, right? You have to know that this comes across as disingenuous at best, and pathetic at worst. If you really cared to fix the fraud, you’d have thanked Nick for the ground work he’s done so far and offered to work with him instead of trying to shame and discredit him.

The Governor never denied fraud was happening, he repeatedly said if there is fraud he would partner to fight it. Last month: x.com/GovPressOffice… Two months ago: x.com/GovPressOffice… And three months ago: x.com/GovPressOffice… Fighting fraud has been something the Governor has taken seriously for years, people can see the results here: StopFraud.CA.Gov What the Governor won’t entertain is people making baseless claims with no data or evidence and misleading people for the sole purpose of pushing a political agenda. Is lying and pushing made up numbers a form of fraud?

@jajaja7878uu It reads "I hate the Communist Party" over here in American. Looks like it's working.
