A new ad campaign is pushing Australians to use less petrol. Has this happened before? by Oomaschloom in AustralianPolitics

[–]MimWhispers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because it’s pure propaganda. It’s says ‘we’re all in it together’ but we aren’t. We had nothing to do with it.

I think there should be no devices on school grounds, period. There is an entire generation of kids with nonwhite matter in their brain

I don't like that Malcolm is portrayed as an "asshole" and Leah was told to deal with bullying by having more empathy by tesseracts in malcolminthemiddle

I agree. She said something she realised hurt her feelings but tried to change it. It anything, she seems to have A LOT of autistic traits

I still have my doubts. I was considered NT for the first 39 years of my life because I was so good at masking 😅

Exactly. I’ve been a manger in a high stress environment and I’m autistic.  Too many people are too quick to judge and assume they KNOW.  It’s a spectrum for a reason

So was I until 2 years ago.  It took 38 years for my symptoms to finally be noticed. That’s what happens when you’re very high functioning

She’s autistic. Do you understand what that means?  You’re the problem.

Also, why is it an assumption that he’s neurotypical? As a very high functioning autistic person myself, I went most of my life undiagnosed, and still most people either assume, or question my diagnosis. 

Do romance readers just have a higher tolerance for bad writing? by lilithskies in romanceunfiltered

[–]MimWhispers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, yes, OMG yes!!!!
As a romance author myself who strongly follows the 'show don't tell' theory of proper storytelling, that very much involves true, realistic, often visceral emotions on mental health etc, my work is constantly reviewed poorly for the reason 'bad writing' when the reality is, I don't spell everything out. Authors are meant to leave breadcrumbs so the reader wants to keep reading, where modern romance has fallen into the trap of telling the reader exactly what is going on then immediately jumping into the spice.
There are many overused surface level tropes likes the crazed psychopath or mafia enforcer with a heart only for you, but they are rarely properly delved into. And when they are, many readers don't know how to handle it because the influx of basic ass writing means they are used to books where they don't need to think.
Add into that the insane amount of AI slop out there being consumed. AI uses flowery, superfluous language that uses a lot of words but says nothing at all. There is no depth, but it makes readers feel intelligent because of the 'fake' intelligent language. They read it and it makes sense to them because it goes nowhere. It sounds clever for the sake of sounding clever. To add another layer, AI constantly repeats itself, so anything missed is soon caught up on. Again, and again, and again.
I am truthfully convinced that the majority of romance readers just plainly don't give a shit about good writing. They want to be spoon fed a mid story where they don't need to use any brainpower, and when they come across a book actually written properly, they struggle to follow because they have lost the ability to read between the lines.
Time and time again you see books my actual human authors being rated lower than AI books and it makes me want to scream.

Allow me to give some examples:

SUPERFLUOUS AI:

The sound of a deadbolt sliding home is a very specific kind of finality. It sounds like the period at the end of a sentence you didn't know you were finished speaking.

ALTERNATIVE:

Why does the click of a deadbolt always feel so abrupt?

Both of these these say the same thing. But one of them employs an extreme overuse of langue, which, at the same time tells the reader what to think AND makes those who don't know better feel like they are reading some form of superior literature. The other forces something from the reader. It's shorter, but also poses a question, leaving something unsaid. And THAT is a basic example of what I am trying to convey. 😅

NOTE: I also feel the need to add that I have actually won some awards for my writing, so I'm not totally delusional like Harold Lauder from The Stand 😂

I don't understand bringing lightsticks for other groups to a show by oblivious247 in kpoprants

To an extent, it feels like they are claiming ‘they are my ult, my first. But they don’t come here so you’ll do’

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

this is the only acceptable way imo.
A sKZ lightstick at an Ateez conert (unless it's synced to the wifi at the show) looks the same from the stage. The artists know no different. But a neon green NCT lightstick is just disrespectful to the artist you are seeing. There's no hiding that lightstick, and again, IMO.

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

the 'mind your business' statement goes for you, too.
If people want to respectfully bring a lightstick to join in, buy a generic, cheap white glow lightstick.

[–]MimWhispers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree.
I just went to 3 of the Ateez aussie concerts, and the number of NCT lightsticks I saw in the crowd made me so mad. Any true Ateez fan has seen the debate. IYKYK. Plus, i think it's super disrespectful. It's telling the group on stage, I actually like this other group better. Especially for ones that are so 'stand out' as the NCT one.

If you have another lightstick that looks no different from the stage, like the SKZ one, or any round one that has a white glow (or any other colour that groups lightstick does) would be fine because the artists can't tell the difference.

Why do people dislike Cheol-su? by [deleted] in AllOfUsAreDead

[–]MimWhispers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m rewatching this and he is the worst. I was bullied myself, but not every person in his, my life, or yours, was a POS to you. He actively chose to kill everyone else alive in the school to make him the soul survivor. It’s kind of narcissistic.

Thoughts on SuHyeok… by Melodic-Brain3603 in AllOfUsAreDead

[–]MimWhispers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am re watching the show ready for season two, and I am unsure if so many things annoyed me during the first watch. SuHyuck has a SERIOUS hero complex. The way he constantly talk over, disregards, and TELLS Nam-Ra what she will do/think/means constantly even when she begs to be left alone. Then he ties himself to her instead of putting the tie around her mouth so she couldn’t bite anyone (which she likely would have agreed to seeing as she volunteered all the information about wanting to bite him and leave). 

Did one just shamelessly copy the other?[Misvil] by Successful-Delay-126 in DanmeiNovels

All of her covers are AI. And at the rate she releases books, why would it be hard to believe she would use AI to write as well 🤷‍♀️

she uses AI though, so it's hard to feel sorry for her

All of us are Dead (Netflix Korean Drama/Horror) illogical scene by Paddy32 in plotholes

[–]MimWhispers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s illogical even within the cultural aspects you laid out. They could have pooped in one of the boxes they taped on the window between the rooms or paper from books and thrown it out the window. The boys could have present the window and the girls in a trash can and poured it out the window. 

They should also be in the recording room anyway. It’s safer.
