To be a writer, write.
At first, what you write will be bad.
In time, what you write may not be bad.
Write because you want to write, not because you want other people to read.
- Comment on Anyone remember that "First is the worst, second is the best" rhyme kids used to do? Where did that come from? 1 week ago:
You should hear what he called your mother last night.
- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, and what they say is bullshit. Doctors prescribe the medicine people need.
They don’t care about fraud. They care about their profits. We shouldn’t repeat their excuses like that.
- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 2 weeks ago:
Not always. Sometimes, companies won’t sell it to you if your insurance has denied it. They may say it’s because they don’t believe you can afford it.

It’s quite simple:
They are money-grubbing assholes in an unregulated industry. Their goal is to make as much money as possible while hurting as many people as possible. Because if they hurt people, they can take their money and provide no service.
It’s legal because the government won’t make it illegal.

It worked for Nintendo with Bowser.
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 3 weeks ago:
I’m not really sure why you chose to reply to me, as opposed to anyone else who replied on this thread. You can believe whatever you want.
There’s no evidence that ghosts exist. Yes, there are many unexplained things. Yes, existence of ghosts is not impossible. But without evidence, it’s impossible to argue for something.
I’m not going to tell you that you shouldn’t believe in it. I’m just going to tell you that I won’t.
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 3 weeks ago:
Arguments against it typically make no sense.
- Comment on How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving? 1 month ago:
You can do that at the same time as beating yourself with the purple dildo
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 1 month ago:
Everyone knows the sun was not replaced with a giant LED.
LEDs with no heat. It was replaced with a giant halogen bulb.
- Comment on Why are people still romanticizing No Man’s Sky’s “redemption” arc? 1 month ago:
Nobody’s saying they should. We are saying that most companies would. Because most companies do.
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 1 month ago:
I stopped wearing disposable shoes several years ago. So when they start to where out, I bring them to my cobbler to get repaired.

Beep beep boop.
- Comment on How do you think a socialist President would win the 2028 election? Would they use the exact methods used by Zohran Mamdani which earned him the office of Mayor of NYC? 2 months ago:
… How would that even work
- Comment on How do you think a socialist President would win the 2028 election? Would they use the exact methods used by Zohran Mamdani which earned him the office of Mayor of NYC? 2 months ago:
Step one: there must be a 2028 presidential election.
That is not guaranteed to happen. Not with the regime in power.

- Comment on What are some cool infections? 2 months ago:
Ringworm is, in fact, a fungus. Not an actual worm.
- Comment on What are some cool infections? 2 months ago:
Lots of worms can live in a non-life-threatening wound for long periods of time. Some can’t reproduce in a wound because they require a gastrointestinal tract.
So it could be a single, small worm that prevents the wound from healing, is only painful enough to be inconvenient, and can’t easily be removed without cutting off a large chunk of flesh.
- Comment on A story-rich open-world FPS with Max Payne and Cyberpunk 2077 vibes? All right, you have my attention, No Law 3 months ago:

So, he was once a military veteran, but is no longer a military veteran?

- Comment on Day 497 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 months ago:
Yeah, Black Flag’s seafaring was fun. It was enjoyable to guide your ship around, explore the random tiny unnamed islets, dive into the ocean and hear the crew laugh about the captain jumping overboard.
Yes, collecting every last thing was a grind. But it was a fun grind. It felt like I was choosing to do all that, even though the game was psychologically goading me into it.
(Insert philosophical discussion about free will related to a video game about genetic memory and following predicted behavior.)

AC3 is the only AC game I never got to 100%. It just… wasn’t fun.
In every other AC game, even the parts that weren’t as enjoyable didn’t feel like such a grind.
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 3 months ago:
It can’t be checkmate if the wind has blown over all the pieces.
- Comment on What OS does the Batcomputer use? 3 months ago:
No, he’d probably use something made by a reputable company.
- Comment on What OS does the Batcomputer use? 3 months ago:
Maybe at the office, but for real security in the batcave? He’d be on Waynux
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 3 months ago:
The atmosphere is just air. Air doesn’t have mass or weight, that’s why it floats.
- Comment on If Marx was alive during the Cold War and beyond, how would he react to the communist states that rose to power? Would he approve or disapprove of them? 3 months ago:
Doesn’t basically every political philosopher hate the governments built off their philosophies?
