I'm always happy you like my stories, whether it's sci-fi or zombies! I'll get back on this ambiguity below. Acutely aware of the problems in it and h...

Jungian sychronicity!
August 23, 2023 at 06:54
It's AI generated. The prompt was something like "a black, older man sitting beneath a tree watching his grandson play". Reading the poem it was as if...
August 23, 2023 at 06:15
Ah nice, thanks, that's something I can work with! Already thinking of improvements. And you didn't think it was me because it's actually nice and app...
August 23, 2023 at 05:08
No, this is correct.
August 23, 2023 at 05:03
I don't mind criticism at all. I appreciated your feedback, I don't appreciate downvotes and no feedback. Right now I'm still like "my poem should be ...
August 23, 2023 at 04:59
My point exactly except I don't think Maga will be all that much admired.
August 23, 2023 at 04:35
On the voting, maybe next time we require people to comment before being able to vote or something. I'm honestly devastated with 50% "it's okay" votes...
August 23, 2023 at 04:33
Years from now in the American lexicon you'll have a word Maga as we have caesar but probably with slightly less flattering connotations.
August 22, 2023 at 20:34
That sounds too much like a final solution. :scream:
August 22, 2023 at 10:49
Seems like a pittance. SBF had 250 million.
August 22, 2023 at 05:17
But that's easy. A heavy wet towel is full of water. It's the ones you've already twisted in a pretzel that won't give up any more.
August 21, 2023 at 13:55
Fair enough! My poem Sunrise doesn't hit any allergy, I think, and I have good and fair comments on my short story Dead in the Water. People raised is...
August 21, 2023 at 13:23
I'll get you a new picture on my alternative interpretation of your poem: /uploads/resized/files/j2/bhzl06o174dfa3vp.jpg
August 21, 2023 at 12:17
Wrong and wrong. :lol: I already told you who wrote The Museum in another post: I think it's Tobias! Another haiku then since everyone is a fan: Dear ...
August 21, 2023 at 09:30
@"Baden" What are the rules for admitting what you've written? If someone guessed right you come clean?
August 21, 2023 at 09:11
I remember now what "My Dog" reminded me of. There's a multitude of haikus related to "the cherry blossoms" and remembering all sorts of things. Both ...
August 21, 2023 at 09:06
Yes, the white hydrogen seems very feasible as part of a larger energy mixture. The green hydrogen they're pursuing in the Netherlands doesn't look to...
August 21, 2023 at 06:55
A spark of inspiration that is either the start of a story or the outline of one and then I just write. It's best that I write as much as possible bef...
August 21, 2023 at 05:54
I don't think hydrogen is a feasible technology though. It depends on overcapacity and over investing in energy generators doesn't make economic sense...
August 21, 2023 at 05:46
Well, once everyone's identified I'd be grateful you could have a look. I think comments on my story were fair and it's score is reflective of what I ...
August 21, 2023 at 05:03
@"Baden"Why are the stories closed for further comment? Or was that just to allow for the counting?
August 21, 2023 at 04:39
I also noted people don't know good poetry when it hits them in the face.
August 20, 2023 at 18:29
Shaun and Quigley is yours and I already attributed the Museum to Tobias. Other than that I really have no clue. 180 Proof had surprised me too often ...
August 20, 2023 at 18:15
I feel left out though. Neither my poem nor my short story got the Vera Mont treatment. :cry: :razz:
August 20, 2023 at 15:34
Yeah dude, let's pretend you weren't trying to correct unen suggesting tar isn't a product of fossilised plants. :roll: No, this is again wrong. Press...
August 19, 2023 at 20:58
Also wrong. Natural tar is crude oil coming to the surface of which the lighter part evaporates leaving tar or asphalt.
August 19, 2023 at 18:48
He didn't call fossilised plants fossils, now did he? Fossil fuels are fossilised plants (and some animal remnants).
August 19, 2023 at 18:45
Well, I did love not having planes fly over my head every minute during the high season so I'm game!
August 18, 2023 at 15:04
I read that as postmortem because I don't think this poem ends well...
August 18, 2023 at 15:03
Yes, so he's dead.
August 18, 2023 at 15:02
I see what you did there. Each society needs its jester, so you're hired.
August 18, 2023 at 12:42
Top tip: Give Chat-GPT a prompt "write my cover letter". Feed it with your linkedin profile or other resume and the job posting. Tell it to draft a co...
August 18, 2023 at 07:38
I think that's right, considering the next sentence of the next paragraph.
August 18, 2023 at 06:40
There's a structure to it that I figured out in 2 minutes following your link and I'm not even a native speaker. But yes, I'm sure you're "smart enoug...
August 16, 2023 at 12:57
You were lying here when pretending you weren't aware this data was on the website you used for your min-max temperatures, which is what I was referri...
August 16, 2023 at 12:12
It's called cherry-picking. It's the same website as yours. Please stop lying here or we'll take that as trolling. Stop pretending surprise, or lack o...
August 16, 2023 at 06:02
You're pretending to be a statician and then come up with 2 datapoint per year per state that only relate a maximum and minimum temperature? :rofl: Fr...

I'm surprised people want to know this sort of stuff.
August 15, 2023 at 20:28
Ah, yes, let's ignore the context of your previous posts and pretend you didn't mean what I thought you meant. Don't insult my intelligence.
August 15, 2023 at 13:40
I took it as background info on Shaun, who was an idiot in other programs. I was imagining Ozzy Osborne BTW.
August 15, 2023 at 12:57
Global warming isn't about extremes (but could be possible consequence in certain local situations) but global averages. So that data means zilch. Use...
August 15, 2023 at 12:52
Can I just say I almost never read your posts because the point you're trying to make is almost never clear and just consists of possibly random links...
August 15, 2023 at 07:54
This actually sounds disgusting.
August 15, 2023 at 07:50
It's a bit of a spectacle and distraction from actual policy affecting people's lives. Trumpism isn't going to be defeated in court anyways.
August 15, 2023 at 05:33
Definitely.
August 14, 2023 at 17:17
All true but not for the reasons you're thinking off.
August 14, 2023 at 17:16
:rofl: I'm talking about your outrage towards Biden not me. And once again, I don't need to show another definition of fascism when yours doesn't conf...
August 14, 2023 at 13:55
I haven't submitted a definition of "fascism" so you're falsely attributing a position to me I haven't taken. I just think your kindergarten outrage t...
August 14, 2023 at 13:40
Oh sorry, let me rephrase, they all include elements that are conveniently excluded from your definition.
