People are very bad writers on average. Rowling being slightly above average doesn’t make her good.

I’ve not read any Robert Galbraith books. I was just giving an objective measurement.
People also say Dan Brown is a bad writer and he sells millions of books
- Comment on Anon has learned enough 1 day ago:
She’s not a bad writer. She’s slightly above average.
Before she was outed, her pseudonym Robert Galbraith had sold 8500 English language copies across all formats (hardback, eBook, library and audiobook) and received two offers from television production companies.
For a “first time” author those are reasonable numbers.

I speculated about her feelings, once, because they were added to the conversation.
There’s no gotcha here. Just bad comprehension.

I said he was aggressive. I didn’t speculate how his wife feels.
Likely she is very familiar with his act and doesn’t give a shit (the money probably helps a lot).
- Comment on Bill Burr Says Stop Blaming Immigrants, Blame Billionaires | SubwayTakes Uncut [13:16] 1 week ago:
I haven’t seen them, but I certainly agree aggression can be funny, when used appropriately.
- Comment on Bill Burr Says Stop Blaming Immigrants, Blame Billionaires | SubwayTakes Uncut [13:16] 1 week ago:
Even that, taken at face value, was aggressive towards his wife. I’m already familiar with his angry on stage persona, but the person I was watching it with (first time viewer) left the room.
In an interview situation he is much less angry, but also sharper and funnier.
- Comment on Bill Burr Says Stop Blaming Immigrants, Blame Billionaires | SubwayTakes Uncut [13:16] 1 week ago:
I enjoy his talk show appearances, but his stand up is needlessly aggressive.

What’s “short” about the short-sightedness, though?
Gamepass attacks the developers, not the consumers.

The only part of the gamepass that is monopolistic is the friends network it creates.
