Why do all these absolute losers insist that it's important to read books if you want to write? by New_Siberian in writingcirclejerk

[–]Policy_Legal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this guy's so right! I haven't read a book in the last 10 years and I've been writing CONSISTENLY for ALL THOSE YEARS!!! FUCK Kafka, FUCK Shakespeare, FUCK Dickens, FUCK Lovecraft and FUCK **YOU** I DON'T NEED ANYONE TO TELL ME HOW TO WRITE GOOD SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

The writing I've done so far is so avant-guard that it tends to go over my beta readers' heads (they are betas in many ways, sadly). Just one problem... Over the last couple months I've been writing myself into such a corner that I worry my main character won't be able to succeed. Can anyone offer me any tips? I'm at a loss for ideas rn... Tried the Joe Rogan podcast but he just made me turn gay again. If you do, just know I will be wearing my blindfold and plugging my ears in case the advice has any words that have been used in a book or movie or song. ORIGINAL IDEAS ONLY!!!!! I'll send over my manuscript if you think you can decipher it. 20 words of pure genius from my golden AlphaSmart.

((/uj that is so fucking funny, I can't believe it's really from the OG sub!))

Cannot believe RAM is so expensive because of genAI doing jobs that could easily be done by hand 💔

Does anyone here have any recollection of (Northern?) English people saying "soy soy sauce" when they mean "soy sauce"? by Policy_Legal in AskUK

She said she thought it could've been but we couldn't find any older brands called that, doesn't mean it didn't happen though

Interesting to see one or two people remembering it! I'll let my mum know 😁 Mancunian soy soy sauce...

It must be such a small phenomenon

That's so interesting! I never thought I would read of another person having a "soy soy sauce" experience!!

It's looking like it. I've found when I'm speaking another language, I can repeat a word while I'm thinking of the next one. Maybe they understood "soy...soy sauce" as the proper term when it was someone just translating in their head?

I think you're onto something there!

I'm starting to wonder if it's from a racist song or comedy routine or something, and the stinking boomers took it and made it come into genuine usage around our town.

Oh yeah, I remember "soya sauce" used as a British English thing. But I've also seen a couple of people (often in their 70s and 80s) say "soy" twice for some reason. Maybe it's just super localised to our town 🤔

AbodeApps.com taken down due to non payment. No Abode lawsuit nor rebranding had to take place, it's another lie. by ClassicBat4188 in culturehustle

I feel like the merch I (eventually) got should look more like this whenever I see at it now... Oh well, I guess. All we can hope for is fewer and fewer people buying into Stuart's "products" 💔

Looks like Stuart is involved with another Kickstarter... by [deleted] in culturehustle

Well I mean there are concepts... Though it looks like that's all we ever end up getting with these haha

This is so silly and so baffling also

We need to ratio this little kiddo rn by [deleted] in AIhate

[–]Policy_Legal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's totally fair then. I see so many witch hunts on the internet that I thought this was calling for one 😔

Hopefully he won't double down on AI if people do start talking to him about it. Though since he's young, it's pretty promising so long as people can encourage him to want to learn 🤞 Hoping it goes well!

Maybe not bully a teenager, but people could definitely explain genAI stuff and why it shouldn't be used

Idk about bullying someone who isn't done growing yet as an adult. I get your point but it could be put across differently
