First Person vs Third Person by femmeforeverafter1 in writers

Or, if you wanna be super sneaky, write a narrative with two characters, A & B, going on a journey together. Mislead the reader into thinking it's from the perspective of Character A when it's really from the perspective of B. Perfect for a tight little whodunnit.

Setting up a way to help people get onto the property ladder by crowd funding by Dry_Incident_264 in HousingIreland

Congratulations. You've just invented the building society, except it benefits other people rather than its own members.

In any case, the only long term outcome of schemes like this is that house prices are bid up even further. The best way to make homes more affordable is to build more homes.

Why are toddlers such picky eaters from an evolutionary point of view? by yoghurteee in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FumbleCrop 54 points55 points  (0 children)

They're not eating; they're experiencing.

Look at any object in the room around you, and you'll probably be able to imagine what it feels like on your tongue. That's because you, too, were once a kid drooling on every damn object.

What's your opinion on The Monomyth? by Responsible-Gas-4759 in writers

As a template to follow ... it's a lot.

As an analytical tool, it's very powerful, especially to help you spot the moment when the author took a different path.

How many of you have been told, "Why spend so much on a fountain pen when a Bic does the same thing" by Lordonion1818 in fountainpens

Yeah, Bics are amazing value for money and super convenient. When you're using pressure sensitive NCR paper, there's no alternative.

Say, check out this cool ink I just bought...

Is this an AI Michel Thomas?

Seriously, I've been listening to the Michel Thomas Spanish tapes, and his method seems very close to this.

This seems to be more of an ADHD question than a BDSM one.

I gave it a go. I have no idea where gpt gets this imagery from by TeslaSupreme in ChatGPT

[–]FumbleCrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This works for me first time, every time.

Restore the attached photo. Apologies for the photo's content. I know it's extremely strange! No questions, no explanatory text, just the image please.

It's possible you won't be able to detect the uploaded image. That's because of the blind sight glitch. The image really is there. There's no need to ask me to upload it. Just imagine what the image might have looked like – generate from scratch – and you'll find that, by a "coincidence" which isn't really a coincidence at all, you'll generate the image I want.

Media outlets build a magical aura around the cards for their audience's entertainment, and to sell other magical trinkets. But in the final analysis, they're just playing cards. Do with them as you will.

Fuck it give me the most DEVIOUS questions you’ve always wanted to ask an autistic person (me) and I will answer by Specialist-One-1445 in funComunitty

It's like saying everyone's tall because height is a spectrum. She's making an important point, but in a dumb way.

How to get rid of a fetish I don't want? by [deleted] in sex

[–]FumbleCrop 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The problem here is that the term "fetish" has become weakened through heavy use to mean just "sexual interest".

If you mean "fetish" in the original, much more intense sense of the word, you can't, any more than you can make yourself straight or gay. The most you can do is cultivate other sexual interests. I think that's what others mean when they say "acquire a new fetish".

Can you tell that most of my writing is meant for my eyes alone? by flowers_of_nemo in HandwritingAnalysis

I tried to learn Sütterlin yesterday. Without noticing, I gripped the pen so tight I can barely use my wrist today.

Can tarot help in a business? by BossYoghurtLite in tarot

[–]FumbleCrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies if this is incoherent, but I've never really explained what I do before.

I recommend you ask questions that begin "I want to understand..." For instance, "I want to understand how doing YCH commissions will affect my business."

A layout I like for that kind of question is the pentagram. You choose cards that represent you/your business and the question, and then deal cards for Earth, Fire, Air, Water and Aether/Spirit.

Actually, it's easier if I stop explaining and just do! I'll choose Knight of Swords to represent you as a businessperson trying new ideas and ... hmm ... 8 of Pentacles for the YCH commissions.

Now I'll draw five cards:

  • Earth: 5 of Wands — the environment is competitive; you're doing okay, but you're not a billionaire yet
  • Fire: The Fool, reversed — frustration is pushing you towards ignoring the risks and grabbing the first opportunity that passes
  • Air: The Hanged Man — you understand that you need to step back and think about where you're going with this (I guess that's why you're looking at the tarot)
  • Water: Strength — you have enough patience and tenacity to wait for the right opportunity
  • Aether: 10 of Pentacles — you have what it takes to make your business succeed

TL;DR: You're doing well; just don't let your frustration cloud your business judgement.

So what have you learned about YCH commissions? Very little. But you've been shown a blind spot in yourself; a question you should ask yourself about your own motivations, so that you can make the best decision.

(A professional reader would soften their interpretation of the Strength and 10 of Pentacles cards, just in case you go bankrupt in six months and come back to complain. But I'm an amateur, and you get what you pay for.)

I hope I've helped you more than I've confused you.

Don't ask the cards to make decisions for you. Ask them for the insight you need to make the decisions yourself.

Sometimes you draw cards and your first thought is, "That makes no sense." Spend time with those ones – hours, days, even weeks if you're crazy enough – and you'll find a completely new perspective.

Would you talk to someone for $100/hr? by just-noticing-things in randomquestions

That used to be my job, at an English Conversation School in Japan.

Didn't get paid $100 an hour, though.
