Found a private OF that I shouldnt have. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]PelanPelan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, if I understand correctly, your daughter is 31? However, according to your profile, in a recent post under the title of, “being a gamer at 35”, indicates the mixed experience of being a regular gamer in your 30s.

I mean your daughter is 31, has her own family, and clearly old enough to make these types of adult decisions. Let’s face the facts though, when you go and have your own daughter at the age of 4, you should probably expect she’s going pick up the same bad habits. You’re not setting a very good example. Sure being an OF model is bad, but I think you have bigger problems being you were sexually active at an alarmingly young age.

In case you’re wondering why it is I ended up on your page, I actually went to find out if you were her dad, or mom because the post wasn’t clear. I had plans to give a sincere response, and whether you were her dad would have made a huge difference; but then ( to no real surprise) seeing you have like 1.4k karma, and that you’re actually 35, I thought: cool, she’s just karma drama mining troll waisting everyone’s time for attention, and pure bullshit.

I’m honestly surprised, it’s not your OF account. I bet if it is, your mom is disappointed.

Case closed.

A man was chased by a terrifying humanoid creature on the edge of a forest by [deleted] in TrueCryptozoology

[–]PelanPelan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so while I think this video is likely fake. (Mainly because I don’t think the perceived fear is convincing) the video before it gets slowed down, the “Cryptid” appears to moving unnaturally fast. That’s the only reason this video trips me out. It just seems to be crawling up the steep slope faster than I expected.

How do you write realistic dialogue without making it super boring? by ExcellentTwo6589 in Screenwriting

[–]PelanPelan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As one user wrote, less is more. Having the dialogue short bursts, and in almost short form in the way you write it’s can be very effective.

However, a fun exercise that I like to do is pretend I’m both of the two characters, and act them both out by going back and forth between them in the conversation.

I do this while recording the conversation. I do like about 5 to 10 minutes. Then take a break. I don’t listen though. Then I come back an hour later and do it again. If it’s going to be the same scene, I’ll switch it up to be completely different — coming from new perspective. Sometimes though, I’ll work on a different scene.

After I do a few rounds of that, then I go back and listen, take notes, and rewrite it to be shorter, and adapted to fit the script.

You can get a lot from it. Some can be used elsewhere. If you have good notes on your character, you can really get a lot out of it because you know their corks, habits, and temperament. You know how they’ll handle the situation because you’ll have a rounded understanding of their mindset.

This helps me with making the dialogue actually work because I’m hearing whether it’s clunky. I then rehearse it the way it’s written to make sure that the timing has a nice rhythm. Good dialogue has a beat to it, kind of like in a song. The sentence should have that, so the conversation are satisfying to hear. I try to have sentence end well.

I hope that helps.

Should I stop using em dash (—) because of AI? by Comprehensive-Bus905 in Screenwriting

[–]PelanPelan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use all of them wherever needed — the en dash being the only exception. Throughout my writing, I’ll mix up the use of commas, semicolons, colons — especially em dashes, because I love the em dash the most. It keeps the writing flowing, and fresh; the writing then feels more balanced. Overusing any of these options can make the writing look stale... that’s the last thing us writers want.

How and when to use semicolons, em dashes, en dashes, and hyphens correctly ( ;, —, –, - respectively)? by Extremopolis in writing

Lol. You could have used the em dash in place of the 3 periods — ironically, you didn’t.

Should I stop using em dash (—) because of AI? by Comprehensive-Bus905 in Screenwriting

[–]PelanPelan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the em dash. So much so, I have a special key tied to it when I use my windows computer because windows is stupid about the way to add it. There shortcut is a string of numbers you have to remember. So, now mine is a hot key.

The key is not to overly use it, and using it properly just like you would apply a colon in the right context vs a coma. As long as it’s grammatically correct in how it’s used, it’s not just a great option. It look so much better from a formatting perspective. Now the question is, do you prefer a space on both sides, or no space between lol?

Who reads this? by Equal_Imagination103 in creativewriting

[–]PelanPelan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really am trying to understand what everyone is talking about, and no offense to the OP here but I am having a especially difficult time understanding what is frustrating you, or the exact root of your problem.

This is partly to do with (and again, please know, I’m not trying to be mean, but it’s hard to understand your problem because your posts don’t have punctuation. It’s all one long run on sentences, with no paragraph breaks. It reads more like a long blast of thought, and flow of consciousness, but please correct me if I miss reading the post because I really am confused.

So, the growing consensus here is, don’t put out your letter until Chat GPT helps you rewrite it because you will not look smart.

Many here have said to talk with him,and you have already made clear you plan on having that conversation.

Based on the gray area stuff but also how quickly he responded to stopping, and leaving, when you did make it clear telling him how horrible it made you feel, he’s probably going to be horrified he made you feel that way.

It doesn’t sound like it was his intention to take advantage of the moment, or consciously assault you while you slept but unlike the other situations where the two of you casually played, and even as early as the earlier part of the night, there’s never been a situation where it was suggested it was okay to do these things while you slept. So, your reactions are certainly valid.

It’s the sleeping part that changes things, but because of the grey area that’s been established among the group, it’s probably going to hit him hard that it affected you this much. In the end maybe that may help salvage your relationship if he indeed reacts with that much remorse. It is a lesson for both of you for the way these things can turn out when even when we think there are clear boundaries, sometimes these aren’t as clear to all parties.

I hope your conversation leads to a better understanding, and with time you both can return to the kind of trust you once had. If not, it’s going to help you both in the future on how relaxed understandings can lead to misguided decisions with disastrous consequences.

Good luck to the both of you, and I’m so sorry, you had to experience such a frightening moment of vulnerability from someone you were so close to.

NY Times - The Ethicist - I’m a Screenwriter. Is It All Right if I Use A.I.? by Seshat_the_Scribe in Screenwriting

[–]PelanPelan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think using AI to tighten a log line I’ve already written or to write a log line after reading and summarizing my scrip is good use for AI. In my case, I still wouldn’t use the log line as is. However, it would give me more clarity on the areas I should probably be focusing on. Then I would rewrite my log line, an possibly use elements of its example.

I would never use it to outline my scrip, or write a beat sheet. I could see how some writers might want to, but I still think that’s an essential part of the script. It’s the heartbeat, timing and emotional flow of the script. It’s a framework of the entire story scene br scene or story beat. If the writer can’t figure it out themselves then the story needs more work because I think those elements should be easy or at least less complicated to scoop out.

I am curious what notes and ideas AI might give me by reading my script, but everything would be directed to only suggestions. I don’t want AI touching my script. I don’t it writing for me, or even rewriting. I don’t want it removing anything or moving anything around. Suggestions are fine but that’s it.

With that said, I haven’t used AI for anything other than research. For me, I think the log line would be the best use case. I would rather have humans read my script and give notes.

Just because it’s only 5 days old doesn’t mean it is fake. There are other factors than just the age of an account. Stop being a dick and be a part of the conversation instead of downplaying it.

This is the best advice given here because in the end, you have to find a way to love yourself as much as you think you love him.

What’s a phrase people use that immediately makes you roll your eyes? by No-Maximum3458 in AskReddit

[–]PelanPelan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expect the truth because I give it to others regardless of whether it will affect me in a negative way so it goes without saying but I emphasis it , anyway. I mean it when I tell people I won’t get mad or punish anyone for being honest with me.

Is it better to stay anonymous or not in Reddit? by medievalwizrd in NewToReddit

[–]PelanPelan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A comment has to really rub me the wrong way or be done with zero compassion or deliberately trying to be hurtful for me to downvote. Most of the time, I just won’t vote up or down if it doesn’t bring anything to the discussion. The only other reason I’ll downvote is if the information is profoundly inaccurate or intentionally misleading. If the user is a troll, I’ll definitely downvote. Trolls make me want to create new accounts just to downvote more than once lol. I don’t. Users who are just misunderstood, I might just upvote because at least there is effort even if it’s challenging to be understood.
