@RealLifeFakeWiz You should be getting into your own creative writing if you haven't already. Not everyone simply 'knows' all these insights about storytelling, like the ones you've dropped here.
They took down my Lilo and Stitch video for using a promo clip that is readily posted online by other channels and Disney themselves.
This video was one of the most successful videos I’ve made garnering 97,000 views.
It is now blocked.
@jk_rowling You should give a shot to reading an actual "far-right" publication. This article's diagnosis on "left as system vs. right as personal" political dynamics may be especially elucidating:

You can keep telling yourself this, but you're simply wrong. I'm a left-leaning liberal who's fiercely anti-authoritarian, and if you couldn't deduce that from my work you haven't understood a word of it.
I'm not an ideologue. I mistrust ideologies. I've never met an ideologue who wasn't prepared to deny a bit of inconvenient truth to keep their world view intact and I include ideologies with which I find myself in broad sympathy. On the other hand, I am an idealist. I believe in human beings. We are undeniably capable of terrible acts, but the evidence is that we are astoundingly collaborative and mutually supportive, especially when times are hard.
My values haven't changed; what's changed is the political landscape. What was once my natural home (a pragmatic centre-left party focused on dealing with economic disparity, championing social liberalism and equal rights) is now dominated by an illiberal, identity-based strain of politics I consider elitist, harmful and out of touch with the day-to-day concerns of regular people, particularly women (and I've still lived more than half of my life as a non-wealthy woman, and some of that time was spent in poverty).
There are women with whom I make common cause in the TERF wars I disagree with on other things. Within obvious limits (sucking up to literal Nazis) I don't particularly care about their personal politics. The reality is that there's currently an assault on women's rights unparalleled in my lifetime, and it's coming from both left and right. If ever there was a time for women across the political spectrum to come together, it is now.
@Hinafirstlover@Haji_NS Continuously asserting that an underage person should get an endearing term of attraction like "loli" is doing nothing to dig you out of the perverted hole you're in.
Zoraya Ter Beek, a 28-year-old woman from the Netherlands, will undergo euthanasia in May due to severe mental health challenges.
Ter Beek has stated that she has struggled with depression, autism, and borderline personality disorder throughout her life.
After doctors informed Ter Beek that there were no additional treatment options available, she made the decision to pursue euthanasia, a legal option in the Netherlands.
Despite having a boyfriend and pets, Ter Beek’s life will voluntarily come to an end in May 2024.
@Babygravy9 Hunter-gatherers spent hours chewing everyday, with all the tough flesh they were eating. That led to their lower mandibles being bigger, and fitting their wisdom teeth.
Raw eggs are probably not going to help reverse this particular problem...
Just when you think @jk_rowling couldn’t get any lower.
She uses peoples own words, to make a valid point, which they inadvertently made themselves.
When trans people say something, it’s transphobic to reference what they’ve said if it doesn’t suit them. Everyone knows that.
Do better.
@fixerbwoy@Red_Pill_US Yet "you" are obviously not in a position of power enough to oppose them. So they're not only delusional, but they're too weak-willed to actually rule with a self-assured feeling of legitimacy. If enough raw aggression comes for them, they're finished.
@Red_Pill_US Exactly, they are not predicting anything. It's called "Revelation of the Method". As in 'Contract Law' they believe that by not raising an objection to what is laid out in front of you, thereby you have agreed to what is being done to you, and thus they suffer no bad Karma.
👁️⃤"Here's why Simpsons always predict the future: 🔮
People who worship Satan believe in karmic retribution. They believe they can suffer the consequence of lying and tricking you... ⚖️
Satanists believe that by telling you what they are doing, they don't get any karmic retribution. This is why they indirectly show you what they are going to do... 🌐
If you understand this concept, you can apply it to so many scenarios."
❓What do you think, is this theory valid?
@fellow_islander Modern Buddhists don't understand why the early Chinese Confucian government had strife with Buddhism.
What was the central tenet of Confucianism? Filial piety. Aka folkishness.
What's Buddhism? Universalist.
If there's to be any syncretism, it should be with Confucianism.
@MiddleearthMixr I actually think this change makes the story even better than the original. It is more realistic and interesting than all the elves getting along all the time!
@SabinaStent Brandon Sanderson:
12 noon: Wake. Write for 4 hours.
5pm: dinner, family time, free time.
12 midnight: Write for 4 hours.
4 am: sleep.
4000 words/day.
Sanderson has seen at least as much success publishing as LeGuin has.
We don't all need to be Linkedin 5am risers.
@lporiginalg He could have specified that she's 39 and he's 41, to indicate they met at 19 and 21. That would make him not sound like a creep.
But he didn't.
