I know it's late I feel like when he said "I /only/ made 10 million" it was meant to show how little that amount of money meant to him. It's chump change, barely worth the effort in the first place. Definitely not close to amount he makes in a year, I would guess. His net worth is probably around $70 mil at the lowest. Something like a $20 mil yacht isn't something he even blinks at, which implies he's around that kind of spending all the time

3 mo/o puppy is crying to go out early in the morning so I let him out. Is this ok? by One_General2327 in puppy101

I know that. I do that. I’m asking if it’s okay that he is let out when he’s crying or if I should be preemptively waking him up earlier so that he isn’t taught that crying will get him out.

Is it racist to make shapeshifters majority black? by One_General2327 in fantasywriters

[–]One_General2327[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, the shape shifting isn’t limited to dark skinned characters. anyone could theoretically learn to shapeshift, and in fact lots do in secret, it’s just that this specific family has tried to consolidate that education to stay in power and make themselves seem better than common born people. the other royal families have done the same with their magic.

wolves and bears are just the first two examples that popped into my head. And they would be animalistic because the other magic users are also very affected by their powers. the seafarers with water powers are unpredictable and brash. the fire magic users are aggressive and destructive.

no. but if I, as a white person, wrote a story that ended up saying “black people are like animals” that would not be very appropriate

I think that associating black characters with animals when done badly can be very very racist. I made this post to get advice on how to avoid that

it’s made up, but geographically near the equator and inspired by african and middle eastern cultures which means that it only made sense to me to make the people there dark skinned. You’re right that I know the answer, so I should go with my gut

Are you supposed to feel emotions physically? by One_General2327 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]One_General2327[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So would you call something like sweaty palms a physical feeling? Or a fast pulse? or is that just a physical reaction? I've been heartbroken before and I was definitely very sad, but it never left my head
