In all seriousness, visit your local library and ask them about it. Most library systems work with local authors to promote their work and regularly hold meetups and workshops for writers. Many cities have local zines, publishers, and anthologies. By getting to know your local writing scene, you can find opportunities to do readings of your work, have works published in collections, and so on.
I haven’t absorbed much about this release yet, but with talks of selling the company, and how massive a success elden ring is, and now this… I’m just saying, the signs are all there. ER is going to be FROMs Skyrim: so successful it destroys the good part of the company.
Still the 🐐!
I install rR on every computer and device that’ll run it. Wonder what Cho is up to? clicks link in OP Wow! Apparently he’s been cranking games the whole time, what a back catalog to dig through!
Anon discovers religion, inshallah may the spirits watch over him.
I’ve even seen a moderator on Lemmy describe “freedom of speech” as nothing more than a right wing wolf whistle and banning someone.
A minor point (but maybe English is a second language): what right wingers do is “dog whistle,” as in a sound so high-pitched only dogs can hear it. A “wolf whistle” is, funny enough, a kind of non-verbal cat-call. That is, it’s a sound expressing interest or approval, specifically its the hi-lo whistle like Phwooooot- WOOooooo.
Please take down these candid photos of my partner and I!
I swear there was an ancient funny blog that introduced me to huitlacoche in the early 00’s. I finally tried it a few years back (in Mexico) and it’s pretty good!
I thought the blog was Steve Don’t Eat It! but I’ve only found those archived posts and no corn smut. Maybe it was an old Cracked or Something Awful listicle?
One of my favorite theories on classic “grey” aliens is that they look like that due to a native low-gravity environment: big heads and eyes, frail little bodies.
Though violence is not lawful, when it is offered in self-defence or for the defence of the defenceless, it is an act of bravery far better than cowardly submission. The latter befits neither man nor woman. Under violence, there are many stages and varieties of bravery. Every man must judge this for himself. No other person can or has the right.

He added that employees should “tune out” criticism of the insurance company, saying that it “does not reflect reality.”
Anytime someone tells you to ignore the advice or criticisms of everyone else but them that is the reddest of flags. Literally abuser behavior.
This is true of health care too and was a major driving factor behind the ACA. If you (if everyone) goes in for a yearly or twice yearly checkup and health screening, then dangerous conditions like cancer, disease, injury, and so on get caught sooner. The sooner you catch a problem, the easier and cheaper it is to fix.
If you dont get regular screenings, then people find out they have cancer too late, usually after an emergency (an ER visit), when cost of care is very expensive. The ACA made the case that getting everyone more preventative care would reduce overall health costs.
Another factor is that hospitals do help the uninsured, then pass those costs along to the insured. There are so many hidden costs in our system due to cruelty and inefficiency that would go away if we had universal health care. But the key difference is that the current system funnels all the benefits/value (all the money) into the hands of a small number of people, while actually universal healthcare spreads the benefits out over all of society.

Obviously they want to make an example. They’ll drag him through the mud in court, reveal that he was sexually deviant, claim he cheated on tests in school, played video games, played d&d, worshipped Satan, on and on. Then, when they’ve dragged the court out long enough to bore people, they’ll execute him publicly and call it justice.
They won’t epstein him, too obvious and likely to generate martyrdom. Killing him like a “common murderer” shows that “the system works” and that the machinery of the state’s actions are natural and inevitable.
Or maybe they’ll try to just lock him away forever and get him to write some books to make the prisons a little more money. Works for serial killers, and sales of “How to murder a CEO” will help to defuse revolutionary sentiment by recuperating the murder as an exotic one-off situation. He’s gonna get simple-ricked.
I’m not complaining, just trying to understand the shitiverse cannon
if you mean because I called it (ai) slop, I just calls 'em like I sees 'em. Plus as you say, the sign already called it shit
Who’s the radioactive “D” mario in the background of this slop?
Is this a crossover episode? "D"erek Powers, aka, D’blight has joined the brawl?
It’s not some big gotcha: it’s unethical because consent is impossible to achieve. You have to have been alive for quite a number of years before you even have the cognition and experience to form an opinion about existing.
But that doesn’t just mean creating new beings is good because it’s impossible to consent. How would that apply to anything else?? By some logic (if you ignore obvious pain signals) animals can’t “tell” us they don’t consent to being butchered and eaten but that doesn’t make eating meat ethical either (I’m not vegan btw.) Having sex with an unconscious person is rape, because they can’t consent.
There may be suicidal animals who want to be eaten and there are certainly people who enjoy non-consensual sex and people who like being alive and believe their existence is a gift. The outcome still doesn’t excuse the act in these cases.
