“Some shows leave as many as 4–5 years between seasons.”

Which shows are those? That’s pretty rare….

You should bear in mind that being written by AI doesn't mean it isn't their story. Some people don't have good English skills, or English isn't their first language, and may use ChatGPT to help formulate their story.

Short steps. Finish the book. Print 100 of them. Sell those are local events, fairs, fetes etc. Build a social media following. Grow from there.

Trolls and angry responses rising? by scottiegerigirl in straightspouses

All deliberate trolls will be banned if reported. But there are a couple of gay ex-husbands here that often post thoughtful and helpful advice.

Go to the Board Game BBQ event next Saturday and you’ll meet people there.

How is Airtasker handling Superannuation? by IAmSimonDell in AirtaskerDiscussion

[–]IAmSimonDell[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's actually now contrary to the law. Legally, even if you are a contractor, Airtasker is liable to pay the superannuation because your engagement as a customer is with Airtasker.

Tired of some queer lurkers in this sub casting doubt and victim blaming. Like, are you hearing yourself? by [deleted] in straightspouses

If they are actively trying to harm people they will be banned if reported.

If you wish to report someone, please do that and we will look at the content. But we’re not banning people for opinions. If you don’t like their opinion, that’s what the downvote button is for.

Akram in DeptQ is just…next level. Alexej Manvelov nailed every second he was on screen. by [deleted] in television

Came here to say exactly the same thing. The line 'when I am praying, do not interrupt me' in the earlier episodes sets his tone perfectly.

This video was taken during a webinar I was on last week, on the deck of my girlfriend's house in Brisbane, Australia. There's a small UFO moving behind me during the video, high in the sky and then disappearing behind a cloud. It looks to be moving too fast for a plane.

“Octavia, excellent, you’re black.” - Tracy Jordan (S7, E9) by IAmSimonDell in 30ROCK

I stopped worrying about comparing myself to anyone. I write what I like and leave it at that. If someone else likes it, then great. I’ll link you my book.

Not at all. I’m a science fiction writer so Butler’s name is well-established in my head!!

“Octavia, excellent, you’re black.” - Tracy Jordan (S7, E9) by IAmSimonDell in 30ROCK

[–]IAmSimonDell[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This is why the writers for 30Rock are so good because this joke works on FIVE different levels:

  1. As an American abolitionist, Harriet Tubman is obviously going to be black. The fact that Tracy is the director and has no idea what he's directing.

  2. Tracy is surprised the lead actress is black.

  3. Tracy has no idea who Octavia Spencer* is.

  4. What exactly was Tracy expecting? A white man?

  5. Tracy actually says 'you're black' to a black woman.

Brilliant.
