It's really well written but I smelled the plot somewhere during the drive home and therefore couldn't enjoy the twist at the end as much when I would...

Fuckin' Yay!
August 09, 2023 at 20:12
Yup.

It's called an analogy, lady!
August 09, 2023 at 19:18
No need to repeat your obscenities I'm sure. :razz:
August 09, 2023 at 19:15
I don't adore it, I can appreciate the literary accomplishment of making me wince due to well crafted writing. Cheap thrills like yours don't count. I...
August 09, 2023 at 19:10
That's a bit redundant after my reply isn't it?
August 09, 2023 at 19:03
Forever.
August 09, 2023 at 18:49
What? I'm not talking about flags! Plus, you don't get to complain about your faux pas in the other thread! I'm still hurling from that one.
August 09, 2023 at 18:48
That's not any clearer. What challenges specifically Mr "I'm in a vague, no-name science and technology group but I cannot get beyond hand waving at p...

Royal blue... :wink:
August 09, 2023 at 18:38
Spell out that position more clearly because stated like this it's patently absurd.
August 09, 2023 at 18:30
Burying flags may be a crime in the jurisdiction where you're residing. Please get advice from a local lawyer before committing to such an act.
August 09, 2023 at 18:15
Obviously you don't "get it" because that's a misrepresentation of what I said.
August 09, 2023 at 16:59
blah blah. Just another red herring. The question is whether Trump committed a crime, which is a legal question, not whether what he did was a crime. ...
August 09, 2023 at 16:53
The whole victim shtick is a red herring. It's irrelevant. Euthanasia doesn't have a victim either but is still illegal. Attempts at crimes are victim...
August 09, 2023 at 16:25
Victims are not required. Failed attempts at crimes can be convicted as well. As to the particular acts, they are set out in the writ of summons or wh...

Not by every method.
August 09, 2023 at 15:52
Even if he believed it was stolen, yes, even if it was stolen, stealing it back isn't lawful. Edit: meaning criminal intent can arise irrespective of ...

Ewww... Let's keep the mums out of the sexual innuendo please.
August 09, 2023 at 15:36
It took a moment and a couple of restarts to get into this story but once the protagonist was driving, it read like a breeze. I still voted I enjoyed ...

How is it winning exactly if I must spend resources on adaptation when I'd rather spend time on leisure?
August 09, 2023 at 12:40
Is it me or did quite a few sentence miss an (indefinitive) article or use the wrong preposition? I was regularly rereading sentences as a result.
August 09, 2023 at 12:07
I missed one and it was in the very line you quoted. :rofl: What say you? Any idea why this is a thing for you?
August 09, 2023 at 11:57
This describes what I was missing. Thanks!
August 09, 2023 at 11:51
While you cannot infer intent from the act itself, it's still possible to infer it from other acts before that. For instance, you had a prior fight wi...
August 09, 2023 at 11:42
Are you here pretending this hasn't been extensively dealt with in the IPCC? The limited local benefits are far outweighed by the negatives. It's not ...
August 09, 2023 at 11:39
This is not like some sort of balancing act though as if you win some and lose some.
August 09, 2023 at 05:50
Aye aye capitan!
August 09, 2023 at 05:45
I'm unfortunately getting a bit of a commenting fatigue and still have so many sorry stories to go.
August 09, 2023 at 05:16
:up: Fair enough. Lack of punctuation hurts my eyes. :lol:
August 09, 2023 at 05:07
What a surprise!
August 08, 2023 at 16:56
I have no such compunction but then I'm an arrogant little shit. This Little Boy Yesterday y'know, came and went so fast yet tomorrow seems to stands ...
August 08, 2023 at 13:47
I think it's you and a wild imagination. ;-)
August 08, 2023 at 12:22
For general intent crimes juries will be instructed to infer intent from the proof of the act. The federal documents case mostly has general intent cr...

I've come to the ridiculous conclusion that discussing literary interpretation with ChatGPT is fantastic. Here's my discussion with it about Poem #19....

I only join this to win. Once I've done so, I'll never join again. Got to quit on a high you know. :razz:
August 08, 2023 at 06:01
I think I have more panache than flair.
August 07, 2023 at 21:52
OK. Alternative reading: girl turns into boy. Literally. Is there continuity in identity? Yes, forever.
August 07, 2023 at 19:20
I finished posting AI generated pictures with the poems because I felt like it and it gives insight into my interpretations of the poems as they evoke...

Yes, I'm pretty sure my interpretation is off but that's the vibe I got.
