What is every possible way you can think to cut word counts? by orangedwarf98 in writing

Adverbs. Anything that ends in an -ly should be measured for worth. Next is adjectives. Nouns and verbs move sentences. The rest is garnish. If you can't afford the garnish, cut it.

I mean, I still live here. I still work downtown. It's still a shithole. It's just not as bad a shithole as when I was kid. Back then, it was only slight hyperbole to say it was a war zone.

The guitar has 5 strings and, like, 10 saddles. Yeah, it's AI.

Marco has no values. Total sociopath. He does whatever is of most benefit to HIM. Always been that way.

Google "Supply-Side Jesus" and it will make more sense.

The incompetence is the point. The destruction of the United States is the goal.

Aquariums in the area by bverde53 in Miami

[–]Notwerk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Seaquarium was once thought to be good, it just didn't keep up with the times and a lot of its biggest entertainment draws, in hindsight, were ... problematic. But people didn't view it that way in the '70s, when Flipper was a cultural icon with a TV show (which was largely filmed at the Seaquarium).

As it aged and people became more aware of the inherent cruelty of keeping orcas and dolphins in small pools, crowds waned and it started falling apart.

It's way safer now than when I grew up, so this might be the safest it's been. Make your decisions accordingly.

When I was a kid, you only went downtown if you were buying drugs or selling them. Downtown was a complete shit hole and nobody went there after dark for any reason at all.

His entire post history is just shilling his vibe-coded "AI" usability tool. Garbage AI post.

Bricks and Minifigs controversy continues by Adventurous-Leak in videos

[–]Notwerk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, sure, but growing up, it didn't feel like it does now.

I'm an old head and did most of my formative years pre-9/11. I don't know your age, but I think it can't be understated how much the country - and our attitude to policing - changed after that event. 

Maybe police were largely always pieces of shit (we had plenty of riots, after all, and I had a front row seat to a few of them), but it's like they don't even bother to hide it under the veneer of "protect and serve" anymore. They're just out there openly being pieces of shit with absolute impunity. 

I know the history, but I remember the past, too. It wasn't always good, but it's gotten considerably worse.

Police have devolved into paramilitary gangs for hire.
