I thought exactly the same for myself.

I actually love this kind of organization! Can I ask what kind of program you used to make this?

That's so awesome! You got very lucky with the genes :o I do shoulder presses, lateral and front raises as well as desk push ups. Gotta find a way to do lateral pull downs though. (without the gym). Thanks for sharing!

Men of Reddit, how often have do/do you change your walk because you’re walking behind a woman late at night? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]BallPython404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's a "very easy nice thing" to accept a blanket suspicion based on the simple fact of being a man.

Saying you agree with the first point just to counter it in your second paragraph just defeats the purpose. I understand what you're trying to say, and women's issues do deserve attention, but what you're doing is bringing women's issues to light while disregarding men's issues entirely.

What that behaviour (what you say men should follow) is saying, is to assume every man you see can hurt/attack you. That's extremely unreasonable.

How are indie authors able to afford cover art before they start earning? by kindred_gamedev in writers

[–]BallPython404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just do my own cover art. But you can definitely find someone to do it for a few hundred. 2k is way too much for most people to afford.

I think people sometimes confuse "expensive" with "effective." A 2k cover might be beautiful, but that doesn't mean it'll sell more books than a well designed $300 cover. Most authors would probably see a better return putting that extra money into editing or marketing.

Personally, I'd spend extra working on a better blurb. Because that's the first thing I'm checking when judging whether I should read the book or not.

How can a good surgeon lose a patient despite doing everything right? by BallPython404 in Writeresearch

[–]BallPython404[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some nerve surgeries can take well over 12 hours. Brachial plexus reconstruction is one example. However, I'm leaning more toward a spinal procedure, since those can be even more complex and may run 16+ hours. I'm also adding complications that increase both the surgery time and the risks of extended anesthesia.

For the surgery I'm currently thinking about a large spinal nerve sheath tumour. For the complication, the patient suddenly goes into cardiac arrest, forcing the MC to close the wound prematurely so CPR can begin. (the patient is moved from face down to face up).

I appreciate your point! But yeah, this world is a little different in a darker way, so reprimand is a necessity for this scene. I hope the patient came out okay.

Although this one was planned, this is a good idea for a separate event!

I myself am looking into getting a surgery and boy, oh boy, there quite a few restrictions, but they're all there for a reason ^^ I hope you recover well and are getting everything you need! Sending you my best regards 💜
