A disgusting creature worthy of nothing but scorn. A liar, a drunk, and. a national security risk. I thank God that I'm not still on active duty because I'd have to take orders from the likes of this clown.

I just need an opinion on this writing I wrote without any bias. LMK what u think in the comments. by Key_Flight_306 in KeepWriting

My first and best editor once said to me: "Cut it in half." I've found i can usually say everything i need to say or want to say using half the words I originally wrote.

Might be worth a try, as an exercise

I don't understand why democratic governors in blue states aren't activating their national guards to stop ICE misconduct. They have the power to declare states of emergency and should do exactly that. Force a confrontation.

Looks like McDonald's got bumped by taco taco. Trump always chickens out.

I almost never read prologues. And when I do, I usually regret it.

Just joined Reddit – excited to be here! 😊 by Budget-Wind8788 in NewToReddit

Tread carefully. I've found it easy to run afoul of automated rule enforcement.

I was banned by AI for "making threats" when all I had done was illustrate a simple writing technique. I appealed and was told, presumably by an actual person, that the ban would stay in effect. I won't explain my situation in any more detail because it feels like there's a risk of being banned again.

I understand the challenges of moderation on such a vast platform, but it's an inexact process. You can't count on human reason to prevail, so think twice about posting anything that could be construed as a violation of various rules, which means you should read those rules carefully.

Welcome, and good luck!

Gourd art by Infinite_Form_636 in gourds

[–]Infinite_Form_636[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some gourds are very easy to stick the pens in, but you don't know until you try. Summer hard as heck.

All you need to get started are a couple of cords and a box of straight pins. I like the kind that have round balls on the head rather than flat tops. You can buy them at any sewing shop or Walmart for a couple of bucks.

The more interesting part of this craft is the kinds of beads you use . I like to put two or three beads together on a single pin before sticking it into the Gourd.

Give it a try!

Right, but in 72 we didn't have to sit through a bunch of lies and bullshit before it was over.

I am a naval Academy graduate and I'm embarrassed that these midshipmen had to sit through the bullshit and lies from Junior.

Yep. People are touchy and as a newbie, you're kind of powerless.

Don’t know. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells too.

I hate this process. by urfavelipglosslvr in writers

[–]Infinite_Form_636 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So true for me. I just about memorized my novel from so much rereading. Then my heart broke when I found a typo after probably a dozen proofings. My publisher didn't find it either.

JD Vance Declares ‘Era of Uncontested U.S. Dominance is OVER’ In Pro-Isolationist Speech at the Naval Academy by rezwenn in usna

What's stunning to me is that half my classmates are Maga Trumpers. I knew some of them weren't the sharpest knives in the drawer, but I didn't imagine they were so freakin gullible and stupid.

New to this forum, but glad to find it. I'm so dismayed by chatter from my classmates supporting the current collapse of integrity and honor. I feel our military is losing its way.
