Wow! That actually sounds doable. If employers in the cities provide a benefit like that, I think that is a happy medium between convenience, not havi...
I think in the rural area mass transit is not practical. I think the OP meant the cities full of cars -- that's why the evil reference. But you are co...
This is only true on paper. In actuality, one wonders why at any given day of the week and at any given time, there are so many people "not at the wor...
Avoid getting any virus -- you may think that it's just like a common cold: everybody gets it and it goes away. Viruses are different. They actually h...
I read something about when the Ford model T cars came out and a family went out for a ride at 25 miles per hours. They got into an accident and one o...
Some certainly did save up for it. But we're talking about the mass produced cars whose buyers didn't have the time to save up. 1919 was the first tim...
Despair is alive and well in philosophy. I found out about Lev Shestov. This is his take on despair: People who read much must always keep it in mind ...
It's an economic fight -- it would be hard to get rid of private vehicles in favor of public transport. But humans could get used to not having a gara...
There were societies where loans are unheard of, let alone mortgage loans. Guess what? They built their own homes and did not buy a vehicle and used t...
The production of automobiles was a result of capitalism. How to sell those cars if not enough people are wealthy enough to buy all the cars produced....
For sure it would have been a totally different world without the mass produced automobiles. Not rare. That isn't the word you want. I believe you mea...
You've just supported my point. The children weren't harmed in the making of a grade. They are naturally not going to limit their lives to scores and ...
:grin: I was lazy to elaborate. I'm sorry. Judging from what I experienced, there are things they say that give away how they feel about certain issue...
You are :100: on point. We can never know for sure if the entries have been enhanced by using an AI. To me that would be cheating. That is why scoring...
To a certain point, yes. I was actually speaking of people I actually do meet in person and spend time with. The philosophy forum is probably very lim...
Good idea! Please implement that the next time -- remove the polls in the story posting. One thing you might want to address is the uneven number of v...
It was a promising write -- but the point of the story (the fifth stage) landed flat because now it became a debatable point between the author and th...
The focal point of the story is the haunted mansion, which was conveyed, rather unfortunately, in ambient deafening sounds of a long ago past. I think...
This is how I understand the story: The narrator committed a crime or murder grave enough to be sentenced to death. Then they burned down her family's...
This piece made me chuckle in several parts. The Wings poem, this below, ( I laughed at this) and catfish incantation -- repeated like a rosary prayer...
It couldn't hold my attention after the first two paragraphs. After awhile, I couldn't care less about the narrator or anybody else in the story. One ...
Okay, I'm sorry. I realized that you might not have understood what is to be "effortless". It means not exerting much to accomplish something which ot...
Did you read my last comment before this? I am trying to explain that when something is effortlessly done, while not easy to do, it's because someone ...
Effortlessly written, and clever. I can relate to the college age uncle telling the little narrator about the wax hand whose owner lives in the attic....
A good storytelling. A twist in a crime drama. The hero is the villain, but I cannot call Lawrence a villain, unfortunately. In this story, repressed ...
It reads like a teenage paperback. It is lighthearted, but that's where it remains. I couldn't write something like this because it is not my type of ...
Are you really just going to literal-ass this? Obviously, the outward appearance is "obvious". When I said closely, I meant you would need to ignore t...
Again another story that has a lot of potential to be crappy or captivating. It's actually good, but it leaves the reader wondering if Danny should ha...
STD: 36 This, to me, is a musing, not a short story. This could have been my type of fiction. However, not only is the use of low cap off-putting, but...
Look who's talking. The voting is there and the scores are there. I just made it a compilation. If I make the rules for myself, and I'm not interferin...
Well, you need to be patient, or actually looking for my posts. And I don't appreciate the "it doesn't make sense". When you open the thread for the p...
