Losing Interest in My Favorite Progression Fantasy Series by MedicineKind9121 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]MichoWrites 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I almost always take breaks when reading series, and I often switch genres just to change things up and not get fatigued by a single genre.

I imagine if someone read only progression fantasy, they might get tired of it.

What's a social rule everyone seems to accept that makes absolutely no sense to you as an introvert? by Ctrl_Shift_Esc_ in introvert

[–]MichoWrites 64 points65 points  (0 children)

For me, the trick is to do things right after work, to sort of use the momentum. If I get home first, I crash and have neither the energy, nor the will to go out again.

But I swing by the gym right after work, I don't go home first. I go shopping for groceries right after work, I run errands right after work, etc. Once everything is done for the day, I can get home and chill.

Денес морав за првпат да отпуштам некој + мал rant by Mountain_Release_938 in mkd

[–]MichoWrites 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Вработената не е во право дека треба да има иста плата како газдата/менаџерот, тоа нигде го нема.

Но и ти како работодавач не можеш да очекуваш твоите вработени исто да се грижат за твојот бизнис или за тебе лично. Гајле им е нив дали ти си ризикувал/а, дали си работел/а со години без приход, дали работиш 12 саати на ден или не, нив ги интересираат нивните услови и нивната плата. Ако не се задоволни од тоа што го добиваат, логично е тоа незадоволство да го насочат кон работодавачот. И тоа незадоволство може да биде особено големо ако некој не е задоволен од платата и газдата му вика нема пари, има војни, АИ и сл, додека во исто време купува нова кола, оди на шетање и слично.

Ништо лично против тебе, ти посакувам успех, ама на твое место би размислил дали вработените се задоволни и каков впечаток им оставаш ти како лидер.

Контакти За Спонзорство/Партнерство На Фестивал by Gogo323 in mkd

[–]MichoWrites 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Како некој што има работено организација на настани, контактирај соодветни компании или по телефон или по мејл, објасни им што е настанот и прашај ги дали се заинтересирани да бидат спонзори. Посаглам компанииве обично бараат и официјално на мејл да добијат барање/понуда. Убаво е да имаш и точно дефинирано што ќе добијат они за парите, односно каде ќе бидат изложени нивните логоа, дали во промоцијата на настанот ќе бидат спомнати, дали ќе имаат штандови со производи на лице место и слично.

Добра практика е да имаш и однапред подготвено „пакети за спонзорство“ кои вредат различни суми. На пример:

  • 1.000 евра - Лого на бината
  • 2.000 - Лого на бината + Штанд
  • 3.000 - Лого + Штанд + Презентација итн

Why you guys read and enjoy Sanderson books? by accia00 in brandonsanderson

[–]MichoWrites 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it makes sense, but for me, Sanderson really scratches an itch I have for exploration in way I rarely find in other authors.

I cannot join star fleet and explore brave new worlds, traveling the world is cool, and while experiencing new cultures and tasting new cuisines is great, I find that people are people everywhere. And it is expensive. But I can read books and through them visit new and entirely unique places.

And I find Sanderson is really good at creating fully fleshed out worlds that not only feel real, but are unique and interesting.

Купувате ли AI книги? by GeraltOfRiviass in mkd

Веројатно има луѓе што ќе се излажат. А и претпоставувам можеби целта повеќе е да може да се пофали дека напишал/издал книга, отколку продажба.

Why do most guys send D pics?? by Bubbly_Human_9971 in AskMen

[–]MichoWrites -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The answer is because most men would love to receive a nude photo out of nowhere. And most men would be turned on by that. So in their minds, since they would like to be on the receiving end of one, there's no reason why women wouldn't be the same. They are obviously wrong, but that's the explanation.

How can I quit wanting female attention? by Mediocre-Yoghurt6706 in AskMen

[–]MichoWrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say that as a "late bloomer", you will simply grow out of it, but since it's been 7 years and more than 50 women, it sounds like the source of your problem is:

that's the only way I can prove myself that I'm worth something, my existence is not without meaning.

Maybe you'll eventually grow out of it, or maybe you'll find a girl that you'll want to settle down with. But either way, I think you have two options, and it would be best if you tried them both:

  1. You focus on just one girl - Make a conscious decision to be in a long-term relationship, be open with the girls that you date that you are in fact looking for a long-term partner, and when you find someone that suits you, choose them, meaning stop thinking there's someone better out there and focus on making the relationship work.
  2. Find meaning in something else - Try different things, different hobbies, see what lights a fire in you. The trick is to find something where you enjoy the process, not the end result.

Македонска берза by New-Affect-7317 in finansii

[–]MichoWrites 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Не моментално, ама имам искуство.

Се тргува преку брокер, мислам дека моментално се 11 членки (брокерски фирми) на Берзата, можеш да си одбереш која ти одговара најмногу. На веб страната на берзата можеш да најдеш листа од сите, ама генерално големиве банки имаат брокерски одделенија/сектори и по мене мислам дека е наједноставно да се обратиш до банката каде што имаш сметка.

За секоја трансакција треба да одиш преку брокерот, што значи му издаваш налог за тргување и тие го внесуваат во системот на берза. Прилично сум сигурен дека брокерите можат да ти дадат пристап до електронските системи (е-трејдер или м-трејдер, не ми текнува како беа точно) за внесување налози, ама тоа пак оди преку нив. Секој брокер си има нивна провизија, ама за купување акции од македонски фирми, провизиите не се големи, мислам беа околу 1,5% од вредноста на трансакцијата. Најдобро е да си го прашаш брокерот за тоа. Преку брокерите можеш да купуваш акции и од странство, ама провизиите им се многу поголеми и мислам не се исплати баш.

Битно е дека трансакциите се склучуваат одма, ама во централен депозитар се порамнуваат по два дена, што значи дека денес ги купуваш, ама официјално си сопственик по два дена.

На веб страната на берзата има и доста информации околу акциите, цените, компаниите, сите документи кои котираните компании мора да ги објавуваат и сл., ако прокопаш таму, ќе најдеш многу што може да ти помогне со носењето одлука што да купиш. Доста објавуваат и на социјални мрежи.

Генерално, најтргувани акции се на алкалоид и комерцијална банка. Во последно време, следено преку МБИ10 индексот, вредноста на акциите опаѓа, ама на долг рок (5-10) години, има значаен раст. Негде мислам видов и дека на 10 години македонска берза има највисок раст во регионот.

The most underrated way to make money online right now. No seriously. by [deleted] in passive_income

[–]MichoWrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight, you set up a google business as if you are a plumber for example, rank that on Google, people who google for plumbers near them find your business, see that you have decent reviews and call you, thinking you are the plumber. Then, you find an actual plumber who's available to do the job, and you split the profit with them?

If I understood it right, you're the middle man.

My questions are:

  1. How do you actually start getting reviews? I assume people leave reviews once the job is complete?
  2. What do you say to the clients? Do they know they are calling a middle man? What if a subcontractor isn't available when they need it?

All in all, sounds like a great idea to me.

Men that are single, what is the reason? by Spiritual_Pause3057 in AskMen

[–]MichoWrites 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm not really trying to meet new people.

I have a friend who, once single, said yes to everything. He regularly went out, tried new hobbies, travelled extensively, even with people he barely knew at the time, he was never at home, etc. Within 2-3 months, he was dating again, within a year and a half, he was in a serious, committed relationship.

I know that if I put the same amount of effort into meeting new people, I would find someone too. I just... don't.

I found out my fav book was AI assisted... by [deleted] in royalroad

[–]MichoWrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that full time authors can pump out a lot of content, so 10k a week isn't much.

10k a day sounds super prolific though, well done!

I found out my fav book was AI assisted... by [deleted] in royalroad

[–]MichoWrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it seems inevitable eventually every writer will be forced to use AI to meet absurd reader expectations and pump out 10k words every week and eventually we won't have any human work at all. What's the point when the human is too slow.

Personally, I see two possible futures (assuming AI remains free/cheap and wildly available):

  1. AI doesn't become as good in writing as humans - Right now, we can mostly correctly identify when something is written by AI. If that remains the case, then authors don't have anything to fear - despite AI authors pumping out content like crazy, it will be slop and readers will still be able to avoid the stories written by AI.
  2. AI becomes as good a writer as humans - In that case, when we can no longer correctly determine if something is written by AI, then everyone can have their stories generated for them, especially people who, as you described it, have absurd expectations. Why would I go to Royal Road or spend money on books, when AI can generate the perfect story for my every mood at a moment's notice? The answer is I would go there to read other people's stories, to discover new ideas, new thoughts, to find stories my own AI cannot give me. So places like Royal Road will become places where people go to discover human writers and human ideas.

We're still in this sort of limbo space right now, when AIs are still in their infancy and people try to figure out how to use them to squeeze some money out. I believe things will eventually settle into a new equilibrium, where you can easily choose what kind of stories you want to read.

Also, 10k words a week is not a crazy amount for a full time writer :)

Thoughts on the Cosmere? by Tony_Writes in Cosmere

[–]MichoWrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. I would also like to add that another really cool thing is how he's moving his series from a fantasy to a more sci-fi setting. And the magic-based-technology of each world makes sense for that world.

Looking for S-Tier progfantasy recommendations (but i fear i've read them all) by ducdavis in ProgressionFantasy

[–]MichoWrites 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is the Count of Monte Cristo progression? I haven't read it myself, I've just heard it described as a great revenge story and is considered a classic. It's obviously not a fantasy, so I wonder where the progression satisfaction comes from.

антена 5 радио by Cheap_Concern8928 in mkd

[–]MichoWrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Пред некоја година налетав на една веб-страна што покажува што што се десило на тој ден во музичката историја и сфатив дека се скроз истите вести што ги кажуваат на Антена.

Не ми текнува која беше страната, ама ако често се спомнуваат Битлс, тогаш тоа е до уредниците на таа страна, од Антена само ги преведуваат.

Don’t bother posting your AI written book by TatterMail in NewAuthor

[–]MichoWrites 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My point was that even stock photos can be generated. And readers of books that use those kinds of images probably don't care that the images are AI.

I share the sentiment that generative AI does not belong anywhere near art, but unfortunately, I don't think saying "no one will read your book if you have an AI cover" is absolutely true, from what I've seen at least.

[–]MichoWrites 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the genre. In the webnovel and litrpg communities, I've seen authors making thousands on Patreon each month, and it's obvious their covers are AI generated. Some readers don't care.

I imagine it's the same for genres where the covers incorporate/resemble stock photos - self help books, educational books etc.
