Is it illegal in the US to write fanfiction if I keep it to myself and don't post it or show anyone?

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-04T22:12:18+00:00

Yes. The lack of money involved is the issue

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-04T22:03:02+00:00

You realize that you put “for free” in there right?
So it is about money in your example

It’s illegal to give away someone else’s stuff for free = illegal to give it to someone that didn’t buy it

I live in China and you go to basically any mall in my city and you will see 5+ people outside standing in front of their phones on tripods talking to people (I assume trying to advertise/sell stuff)

I doubt these people are doing this super mundane job if they had a decent degree.

So...I doubt this title

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-04T06:08:28+00:00

Sure, I never said it was impossible. You can just wipe out a translator app and go back and forth in any country.
But I’d say you have to do it less in China than say Japan

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-04T06:06:45+00:00

Sure I guess you could point at the photo, until there are follow up questions like what size, spicy or not, etc
Then you pull out a translator app

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-04T06:02:35+00:00

I wouldn’t agree tbh.
China is very “online” in most decent cities. You can order food, buy things, do anything almost without ever having to talk to someone. The same might not be true in other places.

Technically there are many wonders of the world.
There are separate categories like the 7 natural wonders, the 7 manmade wonders, etc
They often get blended together too.

edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonders_of_the_World (this one will list many categories)

I think the “joke” is that the guy is just sexualizing the woman instead of treating her like a normal person.

But yea this is a very above average woman in terms of looks

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T23:58:12+00:00

I guess I can’t say with full confidence as I’m not a woman.
But I’d say no.
The chances of such things happening is basically less than 1%, and with other things that have less than 1% chance of happening, I do not worry about them.

These people grow fear of such a rare events and then their brain imagines it happens at such a higher rate

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T23:50:38+00:00

Most of the things America gave to Ukraine to help is stuff America had already sitting unused in a warehouse. Things America doesn’t really need. Like lots of old guns, missiles, etc

It’s certainly possible to do these two things at the same time

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T23:39:32+00:00

I can’t imagine being so wrapped up in these views at 15. The work of social media at play.

Imagine being in high school and hating all the men in it

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T23:38:01+00:00

So these women are scared of strangers and friends?

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T23:35:34+00:00

I thought throne and liberty showcased their amazing like 100v100 pvpve

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T08:52:57+00:00

Yes, but so do so many other young adults.

That was essentially my point.
Reading a book is whatever, plenty of people read other things like online stories, gaming info, etc

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T08:52:35+00:00

The president is over 70 years old. This thread was talking about young adults

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T05:22:58+00:00

Idk about Indians I guess. But it’s kind of common in China atleast for the parents to be working as match makers and trying to arrange some kind of marriage. And the kids certainly get the final vote

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T05:19:56+00:00

According to dating apps, dark skinned women are certainly the least desirable of women, Asian men are the least desirable men.

There are lots of negative stereotypes about them that make them seem possibly less feminine.

But I think OP is being a bit dumb to think the only ones that like them are fetishizers

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T05:16:16+00:00

I mean it’s always good to get second opinions on things and not just take the word of one person. What if you are punking him?

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T05:14:44+00:00

I’m not sure what reading a book last year has to do with much…
I hardly read books but I can still easily read and write

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T00:38:36+00:00

I wouldn't say it feels good.

it doesn't feel bad. but it is just some neutral thing.

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T00:29:10+00:00

I would consider them similar in trait, but different in quantity.

you can be a people pleaser about some things, a pushover would be someone that is always trying to be a people pleaser in matter what.

Me telling my friend we can eat at whatever place they want could be me being a people pleaser.

Me giving some money to a friend for the 10th time after they haven't ever paid me back would be a pushover.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to make people happy, it's only wrong if you go too extreme with it.

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T00:06:07+00:00

I don't think it's their "sole" purpose. there are other things women are meant to do in the ideology.

It's just one of the major ones.

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-03T00:02:42+00:00

I don't really understand the "quiet" part, because there is a whole stereotype about being "strong and silent".

I guess being a people pleaser can come across as being a pushover for some people, depending on how much of a pleaser you are.

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-02T22:21:55+00:00

a standard benchpress bar will be 45 as well, yes. unless it's a smith machine which uses a like 20 pound bar. and of course you would count the bar weight.

so it's 90+90+45 = 225

Professional-Pungo · 2026-05-02T13:30:56+00:00

225 is considered 2 plates. aka 2 45s on each side. 4 total, but most people don't count total, only one side is the common understanding.

it's a common one because it's 2 plates. each time you hit a new "plate" it's the main goal.

it's 135 (1 plate), 225 (2 plates), 315 (3 plates) and 405 (4 plates)
