All? :groan:

I actually got the idea from Richard Feynman's The Character of Physical Law, where he describes how these laws are basically symmetrical, in that sur...

But how believable would the story be if the note taker spoke more accessibly?

OK, noted that all you can do is bitch. I'm happy to know I can ignore all your posts from now on on anything to do with politics.

to add to my other post, within a time frame necessary to stave off the worst of the climate crisis and obviously the plan should be feasible not some...

Parliament. Representation. It seems you have a lot of problems understanding government as a cooperative endeavour and only see it as an oppressive m...

Because she understands, apparently better than you, that to effect change you go bother the people with the power to do so.

Nobody has been raised that way but nice caricature to make yourself feel better I suppose.

I love watching those videos! Makes me feel frighteningly insignificant and then awe and then infinitely grateful I'm here to feel both and be in it. ...

@"180 Proof" I gotta ask, since this totally surprised me: "Two stories in particular ("I Never Was" & "Dead Baby Shoes") I wish I'd written;" What wa...

I actually enjoyed how it was consistent and therefore became immersive. I missed the message praxis picked out of it though. Probably would've voted ...

Also, it reminded me of a small booklet from zizek called "first as tragedy, then as farce".

Awesome story. Didn't catch it was about the climate crisis but that I thought it was about Covid-19 probably means how we react to crises is sadly un...

Says the guy totally misrepresenting what I said. Maybe next time read first and write later.

I wrote "I Never Was". It was a plot idea I had been playing with for a while and the little bit of pressure of a contest gave me the juice to write i...

Can't read, can you?

Second!

Wrong BTW.

So I ran across an AI that's supposed to be able to write for you. It can't really but it did help with propagating the little creativity I had for a ...

@"Noble Dust" Remembrance?

That's you not fitting in at work. :razz:

The AI and I wrote "We're not alone". I'll give some more insight how that worked at a later time.

I thought @"180 Proof" wrote Flight. Dead baby shoes, I think, by @"Hanover". @"Pinprick" it isn't mine. Two people already guessed the AI story corre...

That would be great. I wanted to give points to stories that were really well written even though they resonated less with me.

I forfeit the prize because I don't like cadillacs.

Only if you didn't win.

Hmmm... I'm guessing A weak Foundation was your vote then.

Still 6 hours to vote. One story still needs a pity vote and then everybody can feel good about themselves.

Oh my God. Stanley the Reindeer is the only story, after starting it three times, I didn't finish. Dead baby shoes is very well written until the guy ...

The time valid at the center of the universe, which moves around wherever I am. The bourgogne in this case. 32 degrees.

I blame my narrow win on the shitty pity votes most people got.

WHAT'S THAT IN CET??!!

Indeed.

You've offered nothing in way of proof about something serious, which you claim is happening in the US. I just like to call it a third world country b...

I didn't swear unless your delicate sensibilities include "bullshit" as a swear word. I have two close friends who are doctors and neighbours too who ...

Well, I read everything a second time. I think what strikes me is that none of the stories are badly written. Some of them appeal less to me but that ...

Funny how you think talking like a street thug makes you think anybody will start believing you. As I thought, bluster and bullshit that ought to be i...

Sure. So send it via PM or it will have to be written off as bullshit. And whistleblower protections exist too. So one wonders why you come here allud...

Seems the idea has very limited application but that's no bar for a patent application. If a computer programmer of reasonable skill can setup what yo...

Sure, why don't you share the protocol and health region you claim this is the case and I can do some sleuthing to confirm what you say is true instea...

My neighbour is an anesthesist and he's calling this bullshit.

I'm light of me winning this one, let's quit while I'm ahead, shall we?

Hanover already is a dinosaur. He's developed a keen sense of when to not speak his mind lest the velicoraptors tear him a second butt hole.

I'll give you a hint though. The best story is mine. If it doesn't win it's just because you Philistines don't know what you're talking about.

I thought Amity had reviewed all of them, I knew you hadn't. So that says exactly nothing.

@"Outlander" @"Noble Dust" Thank you for taking your time to comment on all the stories. As one of the contestants I really appreciated it.

:up:

I'm also partial to blaufrankische wines and have particularly good memories from the alsace so Rieslings and Pinot Grigio from the region are always ...

I take it you like it?
