Anon takes a writing workshop

  Writing workshops are so cultish and weird. I have taken a few and they always creep me out. It was very mantra focused and vibes focused, rather than like… actually talking about how words create meaning.

  I ended up doing some research on the issue, and it turns out it’s because writing workshop programs in American were basically funded by the CIA int he 50s and 60s and this is why professional writers have these cult-like mentalities and mantras and it was basically a way to promote ‘american’ writing.

  I wish I could find a writing workshop in USA that was run by a European author, I bet it would be a lot different. Also I am so sick of reading weird emo stories that these writing workshops all assign as examples of good writing.

  responds to this by making a 4chan thread to ckmplain about her instead of just smiling and asking “what makes you say that? Woukd you have written it differently?” like chad would do. Groupwork gotta groupwork

    Self-reflection, empathy, and humility are not based! Clearly the world is better off by being a narcissistic sociopath that doubles down on every action and opinion.

      You’re a virgin, aren’t you? 🤪

    If he had that kind of charisma and confidence, he wouldn’t be a virgin.

    this is likely something they are ashamed of and they would like to keep it private

    they don’t know their “condition” is painfully obvious to most people with minimal interaction required.

    owning it is the only way, no need for shame either

    but if they knew how to sell themselves better, they wouldn’t be in that situation in the frist place

      they don’t know their “condition” is painfully obvious to most people with minimal interaction required

      Because he’s insecure about it? Or do you have a virgin-radar

      “Sell themselves better.”

      I dunno if my asexual is showing, but why would someone need to treat their heart like a commodity to find love?

    Fyi, you can write greentext-like text by writing a backslash before the greater-than character:

    > This is how it looks like when submitted
    \> This is how you write it
    \\> This is how the previous line looks like as I’m writing this
    \\\\> ditto

    … all of this assuming your client renders my comment correctly.

      The only good thing about reddit is that everyone’s client rendered everything the same. Now if I wanna spoiler tag something I gotta go

      Like this

      Like >!this!<

      And I’m still not sure everyone’s client handles it right

    Gotta tell my coworker today that his code is absolute dogshit and that me and one other guy are going to rewrite the whole thing. He is such a nice person though, I hope I won’t break his heart.

      If i was a coder and my code was dogshit i would want to know so i can improve upon it. It’s chill. Frame it as “here’s what I want you to bear in mind when programming something in future”

  Dude, anon, that is her flirting with you so she can de-virginize you. Now’s your chance, big king!

    Like, maybe? She could also just be a jerk. It is hard to know without social cues on context.

    Eh, depends on the context. If the dude is the classic, painfully obvious neckbeard I don’t feel too bad. If they’re mostly a regular Joe with low confidence, yeah the lady should have worded it better

    • Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I don’t think it’s the wording that’s the problem, that doesn’t come off as a malicious comment at all to me.
