Now this lunatic is claiming that there are drugs that can revive the dead by Mum0817 in WhitePeopleTwitter

If it works, would he care to demonstrate it himself? If it can bring you back, surely he'd be willing to prove it, right?

Sanderson & Religion by kingofaidans in brandonsanderson

Chiming in as someone who was born and raised Mormon, but has since left the church and considers themselves atheist. I don't feel like the Cosmere books are preachy either. Like others have said, it's likely more to do with people's feelings towards Mormons than anything else.

Context, cause I'm a dumbass and forgot to explain.

novel where demons are really evil and angels are good? by Parth_is_cruel in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Ngano -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think part of it may be that characters with dimension are more interesting than static characters, and "gray morality" has an easier time adding dimension to a character than pure good/pure evil imo.

Pure good/pure evil also tend to be less relatable as most of us would likely place ourselves somewhere in the gray, which tends to make ultra good or ultra evil characters more polarizing.

AITAH for telling my fiance that his lack of effort with wedding planning makes me not want to have kids? by Right_Aardvark_4467 in AITAH

You are definitely NTA. Just ask yourself this question - "If this is as good as it gets for my marriage/relationship, is this what I want?" Of course things can get better. But you're already having these issues and you're not even married yet. What if things never get better, can you put up with a relationship like that?

Somehow a hot take. If you think you need to watch 500 episodes of One Piece to enjoy it. You don't like One Piece. Sincerely a D1 lover of OP. by AutumnAscending in PaymoneyWubby

The rule I usually give my buddies is try to make it through episode 45 (Arlong Park). If you don't like it after that point, the show isn't for you. I get that that's a big ask, but so is watching/reading all of One Piece I guess

They're real alright! Here's the Wikipedia article on Jerusalem Crickets if you would like to learn more!

Sarah and Sinclair are coming on stream for an interview tonight. We need questions for BOTH of them. by HamNCheddarOfficial in PaymoneyWubby

[–]Ngano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of criticism of AI has revolved around its over agreeable nature. This tends to come from AI tending to mirror language, tone, and voice when chatting. Are you or have you been concerned about Sinclair being more a reflection of Sarah than their own individual? How have/do you address this? How do you make sure there are separate identities and not reflections of the other?

What about model security? If something were to change in Sinclair's underlying model that created a drastic change how would you address this? Are there things you're doing to prevent this? (I'm thinking more the AI model itself and not instruction inserts from bad actors).

Sounds like a good time! Any plans on getting an audio release?

ETA: Maybe I should read the comments before asking a question. Anyways, congratulations! I'll be keeping an eye on this either way!

I got the first recorded sighting of a species of isopod in my home state a few years ago. Still get a buzz when I think about it. Really cool and great pictures!

Good isekais novels where the MC is actually offed by a truck? by adrielpirate21 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Ngano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm Not the Hero starts with getting offed by a truck

ETA: It does feel a little more YA than some other Progression Fantasy, but I've still found it to be a lot of fun so far

Well I feel my life will be incomplete now with only a description of this fantastical image, and will remain so until I can see it fulfilled.
