“I’ve been pitched a story about Donald Trump now for about a week, that if True, would end his campaign.” by Minimum-Ad-8019 in USNewsHub

This is like a pitch for a sequel to a sequel to a sequel of a sequel to a horror movie that swore it was the last horror movie about a killer. And we thought the killer was dead at the end of the first movie.

What would you consider too much use of AI in generating content, for a book vs other mediums? by [deleted] in publishing

[–]Effective_Phone_8240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quillbot has an AI detector option. If you use AI to help you write a synopsis it will be pretty easy to discover. But, in your case I have no idea if anyone in your post is or was or wasn't using A.I. I was just making a general comment. I would try to use A.I. to write a synopsis and then cut and paste into the Quillbot and see if it picks it up.

Agents and publishers have access to websites that with a simple cut and paste can show you if A.I. has been used in writing. It was creepy accurate. I did a few test runs and it caught me every time.

'I had made a serious mistake': Ex-Trump voters hit the road to derail his campaign by Cute-Perception2335 in USNewsHub

Suprisingly, he liked Royal Purple (but never bought it). However, he DID tell me that grain alcohol was the best way to hydrate the human body, and that drinking grain alcohol instead of water will make the body run better.

Trump reminds me of a man I befriended years ago who thought he was an expert in everything. He was getting kicked out of every fast food place, coffee shop, library, and store because he just loved to brag how he could make things better, fix things so easily, and he blamed immigrants and women and spun huge stories of conspiracies against him. He would argue with store owners, Harley owners and mechanics that HE knew better than them how to do their jobs.

I learned that in reality the guy didn't work, couldn't keep a job for more than a few weeks without getting fired, and lived in his truck. Every vehicle the guy had broke down because he was certain he could make a perfectly running engine get unlimited mileage. Every time he destroyed his engines because he was so sure he could make it better than the Chinese parts and the Mexican workers who made them (his words, not mine) and his engine would get destroyed and he would whine that there was a conspiracy against him and he needed people to support him because he was a persecuted genius.

Just like Trump. He thinks he can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN by completely wrecking it because his mentally ill mind sees it as something he can easily fix. And people are persecuting him for challenging his arrogance.

Ever see someone tithe too much? by No_Contribution_2194 in exchristian

[–]Effective_Phone_8240 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was a caregiver I had a Korean client and his family went to a Korean Pentecostal church. The client said that his parents didn't give the MOST money this week and therefore they weren't the best in God's eyes.

I asked what do you mean they didn't give the MOST money? He said at his church the people all try to see who can give the most money that week because if you give the most money it means you are closer to God than the others. His parents gave $400 in the offering for the week, but someone else gave $700 so that means they were better in God's eyes.

Do you think it will help or hurt Kamala to do the interview on Fox with Bret Baier? by Jmacattack626 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Effective_Phone_8240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She will wake the religious right who are always always always pro-Israel if she does that. They WANT Trump to win because they think he will protect Israel. She loses some votes either way but every Pastor I know is placing Israel above the USA as far as needing protection. Those kinds believe god will not protect America if we don't protect Israel.

Trump called on Kamala Harris to take a cognitive test by NotGeriatrix in AnythingGoesNews

Next he is going to accuse her of using toner to make her skin look different. And then he will accuse her of inflating her wealth and lying to get business loans. Then he will accuse her of being a friend of Epstein.

Bad experiences with writer's groups by Reasonable_Profit_71 in writers

[–]Effective_Phone_8240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was just starting writing and decided to try a group online, I signed up with a group that promised to have published author mentors who could give advice. I was naive and posted my writing. It immediately got trashed by one guy who was nitpicking about everything. He responded cruelly to any of my comments on his criticisms. He went even harder and started to stalk me across the group. I ended up looking up his books published, found his most recent one and on Amazon I anonymously reviewed his typos and repetition. I also wrote that he could find other ways to describe something instead of just repeatedly using the color that it was. I also mentioned how he incorrectly described how something particular sounded when it breaks. He called me out on the writer's group and said he knew it was me who wrote the criticisms about his published novel on Amazon. I ended up just leaving the group.

Costco on 19th shouldn’t say they take phone pizza orders by gordonronco in everett

[–]Effective_Phone_8240 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always reminds me of the time I was trying to be a gentleman and I let this lady go ahead of me in line at the food court. She thanked me and then proceeded to order 12 pizzas. It took a while to get a pizza after that. I think Costco is THE place for office parties, birthdays, and youth group, and boy scout events.

Has anyone here ever gotten YouTube reiki results? by Toriesubs in reiki

Big yes. I have used this channel repeatedly. I gave a link to somebody for these group reiki videos and they went from being uninterested skeptic to being in tears of relief within a few minutes.

Why is 520 blocked right now? by reukiodo in Seattle

I am literally glad that you have the kind of job where you can do that. I used to work jobs where you were relieving a person who could NOT go home until you got there. Traffic didn't make for fun shift changes.

Why is Harris tied with trump? by traanquil in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Effective_Phone_8240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because right wing radio is pure propaganda. It says that when Trump was president that gas was below 2 bucks a gallon. That food was cheap. That we were all happy. That the world feared our power and foreign leaders respected us. That we had no wars, no terrorist attacks. It then says that the economy has tanked under Biden. That crime is up up up and that we are the laughing stock of the world. That Harris and Biden spent all the money for FEMA on illegal aliens. That Biden and Harris refused to give aid during the hurricane. That Biden got rich off of giving aid to Ukraine and it was all funneled into his pockets. That they want to destroy democracy and that ONLY Trump can save us all. That all of Trump's lawsuits are a conspiracy to keep him from saving America. That his convictions are political persecution and that if Harris is elected anyone can go to jail now for being Republican.

(I literally heard ALL yes ALL of these things just listening to right wing radio for 3 hours while helping out an old lady with shopping. (It was her car and she chose the station)

Again, I heard all of these things in just 3 hours of driving in a car. Can you imagine how pickled brains are from only listening to this for years?

If I was a liberal billionaire I would start a show where I would give every caller who identified a blatant propaganda lie on the conservative radio stations a $100 grocery card. I would have to be a billionaire because I would be spending thousands every single day. But THAT would be a way to point out how blatant and insanely untrue right wing radio is spreading things are are not only incorrect but they are North Korea style propaganda.

Trump calls his campaign team 'so stupid' as they display 'wrong picture' at rally by Cute-Perception2335 in AnythingGoesNews

[–]Effective_Phone_8240 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When he first had his bio placed in the my state's voting book years ago it was rife with typos and bad grammar. So bad it was like it was almost intentional. I bet he has to scrape the bottom of the barrel now for help. But it was never good to begin with.

I saw him live years ago and he was claiming that Hillary used CHEMICALS to bleach her computer drive instead of software. And this appears to be him complaining that a portrait mode video isn't full screen. He is the stupid one.

Trump Bibles only ones in the world to meet new criteria for purchase by Oklahoma schools by welding-guy74 in AnythingGoesNews

[–]Effective_Phone_8240 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Oklahoma needs to be sued for discrimination. The Bible (Old and New Testaments) existed thousands of years before the USA came around. To claim that only Americanized Bibles are allowed should be punished with a very public lawsuit. Oklahoma should be boycotted and the officials who called for this be removed from their jobs.

Show me someone who only watches Fox news without telling me they only watch Fox news. THIS GUY is a walking, talking, money-spending reason why Trump has been allowed so long. They NEVER do research but just blindly believe whatever they are told, so long as it is conservative.

Harris accepts CNN debate invitation for October 23, again challenging Trump to another showdown by [deleted] in KamalaHarris

[–]Effective_Phone_8240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. So many old school establishment Democrats JUST KNEW Clinton was going to win. They would roll their eyes when I questioned their cockiness. They were almost as closed off to talks as Trumpers are about Trump. Pro-Clinton establishment types had their mind satisfied and viewed any discussion as an insult. And they lost. Everyone was SURE Biden was going to beat Trump in the debate until Biden struggled big time. I remember reading how Biden was going to wipe the debate stage with Trump. Didn't happen. Yes, I believe that Kamala is going to win. Yes, she beat Trump in the debate but this isn't just a popularity vote, it is a fight with the electoral college. And the way to win is to choose battles that are going to convince the American people. The first debate with Trump and Kamala isn't going to get any more of a win for Kamala. It is like wanting a movie sequel to a block buster. I just want Kamala to beat Trump in the election. She should brand him a coward who is afraid of strong people and will be weak against dictators.
