The use of that emoji as a response just further cements how you follow the same rhetorical pattern as any other Twitter warrior.

Neither gives the impression that you are anything more than what you are yourself criticizing. You may want to turn that self-reflection back on your...

He isn't uniquely bad? Regardless of how bad others are, this is undoubtedly an odd statement about Trump. Why is it that people like you seem to defe...

So talking about the policies and what Trump is doing while in power is whining about a lost election? Or is it about talking about Trump and what he ...

Definitely, Trump and his followers don't know shit about how to actually run things, how to run a society and solve problems. It's a wrestling match ...

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about how the people don't care about the competence and ability of their elected leaders. How their id...

Corruption doesn't matter for people unless it affects them. It all just becomes a fiction, with no difference between "House of Cards" and the real w...

Ahead of what? In relation to what? Almost across the board, people who are on their deathbed regrets missed social relationships. They regret not hav...

I'm just giving a note on that. I've seen the whole thing and it's a really good video. All of Folding Ideas' videos are masterfully done arguments.

Oh, sorry, my bad. However, the rest of my answer is about why they don't do it.

I recommend watching it in its entirety. It's very thorough about the whole thing and the people believing earth is flat.

Yes it is, you can test it yourself. You can just walk the footsteps of everyone who was able to measure the curvature of earth before we had rockets ...

Yes, this is the problem I feel too. But on top of a lack of energy, there's lots of stuff that also drains the joy of writing. So when I do have the ...

Yeah, it's what I mentioned with it having a specific style and subjectivity. Because of this, it doesn't matter if it becomes more advanced, it will ...

It will most likely replace some forms of commercial text, but I'm not so worried about it because it can never replace authorship. By that I mean it ...

Your previous stories contradict this notion as they hold the same high quality. If I'm to be a bit harsh, this is just an example of not understandin...

I don't think so. A suggestion that you transform into your own is not AI controlled or authored. It's as you say, doing the same with a human is simi...

I just treat it as another person reading my story and having the integrity to ignore using their suggestions but listen when they point out I used a ...

Yes, AI for research is vastly superior than any other form of research tool. When writing, the research required is usually so specific to what is cu...

Holy shit what a great atmosphere to see that movie for the first time. It’s a real gem for me. I have both the special edition blueray, the script it...

Maybe people don’t engage the same since it’s not an official competition this year? :chin:

I'm a bit surprised that The Woman in the Portrait didn't get a bit more love. I think it's a bit underrated. Maybe people saved it for another read a...

I think it's that people don't know how many to list and what to say, but I just treated it as listing the ones I liked the most and a short summery o...

I believe many write with a dash today. I tried to get that to work with this, but even through paste bin I wasn't able to get it to work, so figured ...

Thanks for that! It helped me polish it further. :cheer: In this case I actually think "jest" is correct as jest was used more broadly. Going back to ...

Ah, you're right. Poems I can get, that's a sharp turn from stories for the most part and should be their own thing, but I think plays should be allow...

Big thanks man! :cheer: really nice to hear! Many have noted Verne and HG wells and Lovecraft, but one that I've really read is the whole Dark Tower s...

Thanks! :cheer: Interesting about your thoughts on the nature of desire. I would like to hear more about those ideas if you have more to say on that. ...

Big thanks! :cheer: I really like to hear some examples of what you felt tipped you off about that. Would be nice learning. I had this climax in my he...

Why I can agree to some degree about it becoming more timeless as a satire without him, it can still be read like a satire future in which Elon Musk h...

If that is so, I think you should embrace writing a play. I don't think the idea of "short story" demands the structure or format to be a hybrid. I've...

It can absolutely be that I'm myself not a native speaker. But I think all my feedback has been a bit of a deconstruction and investigation process th...

I think my reading confusion got its answer here. I sensed that it felt like a first draft through the free writing nature of the text. It’s usually h...

:sweat: They're not really favorites of mine either, but I like a lot of the humor that can be found in their writing and you expertly channeled that....

Including your own in that list hehe :sweat: , though I firmly agree about Homeward, Nightscapes and your own so it's on point. Nice to see you enjoye...

There were many good ones this year. I think my favorite was Homeward. It just immersed me into it and I lost track of time. Emotional and funny and r...

Oh! I nailed plenty of guesses this year :party: Funny that I guessed your story @"fdrake" only by not having seen such writing in earlier events. Mak...

Not really. They're mental in the way of being an interpretation of reality, but the categorization of things still end up in amounts. We can argue ab...

Thanks Noble Dust for this story! I thought it was intriguing and had and interesting world building, and I hope you are able to get something out of ...

And to drive the bureaucratic humor even further, have more incompetent or tired "workers" in this heaven hierarchy, reports getting lost, people comp...

I actually liked the appendix. It felt like an epilogue that can be read as a fun little end note. If this story was published in book form, there's a...

I don't think me trying to further explain what I mean is definable as obsession. You're the one who keeps challenging it or misunderstands what I'm s...

Good job with this, really enjoyable! I don't think Good Omens is like your vision here. That combo of writers is me trying to form a kind of idea of ...

It sure was dense and a bit struggling to get through. But I couldn't help forming lots of interesting imagery while reading. I don't think there's an...

Are you referring to things like Hylomorphism?

It was the initial explanation I had for why the structure of sentences were strung together in such an odd order. I don't think that's an odd initial...

I'd say that if the intention is comedy, if the intention is to write something funny, then that is the intention to be consistent with, even if that ...

I'm wondering what this means, will they be closed after that? They shouldn't since there will be discussions after the author-reveals.

This is not the issue. The meaning isn't erased by improving the flow of the writing. I don't know why you think the idea of "clay" is an issue here? ...

Isn't this how all styles, genres and creative definitions work? Post-attributed. The noir genre didn't really have that definition before it was esse...
