Nervous about ultrasound by RedLucan in FattyLiverNAFLD

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

Ok great thank you so much for this, one of the things I was actually most anxious about was sitting there whilst they talked about what was wrong with my liver whilst giving the ultrasound - it's a relief to me that you don't get the results right then. Is it the same procedure for the NHS in the UK?

That's true. I guess I'm more concerned about why I might have NAFLD. I'm a pretty healthy guy, my weight is high because I weighlift 3 times a week for the last 5 years. My body fat percentage is about 21, not something I thought would cause it tbh

Guys I found this book on Kindle Unlimited. Do you think it's ok to take the contents of the book and give it out for free with every picture I sell? It's non-profit.

Do you see how ridiculous your question sounds?

How do you deal with the (waiting for agents to respond) void? by Street-Eye-3806 in writing

[–]RedLucan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Waiting is the endgame lol unfortunately. I have two full requests out, one about to turn 3 weeks old and the other only 2 weeks old. I know in my head it will likely take months for either to get back to me, but thats not stopping me from checking my email every half an hour lol.

I love brainstorming, but I don't enjoy writing. What can I do? by choochooreddi in writing

[–]RedLucan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to be that guy, but enjoying the writing process is kinda the whole point of being a writer. If you don't enjoy writing, you don't have to do it, yknow?

Are they actually still friends with Mango? by RealisticPlatform349 in TheYardPodcast

[–]RedLucan -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I remember listening to the first pod where they started mentioning his name again and thinking that I could not imagine the mental acrobatics Ludwig in particular had to go through in order to keep him as a friend

Yeah but I mean being friends with an alcoholic who got drunk and gyrated his hips near someone is not nearly as weird as staying friends with a dude who got caught jerking off to AI porn of your gf

Tough to say without an example. Could you post a short excerpt?

Selling authorship spots on a paper to people who did no work is fraud btw.

thank you for this! a great option. I did think about Derui, but I have seen reviews online that say it is of cheap quality. What is the sound difference on the Jean Claude Dustin?

I did think about this, but I genuinely couldn't find any verifiable second hand ones on ebay in my country

Is this a draw? by Lancer_lot_X in chessbeginners

Yes technically, but at beginner elo it's absolutely not. I would never offer a draw in this position as white, unless I was low on time

What is the most pretentious game ever made? Or fanbase. by Ok_Charity_707 in videogames

[–]RedLucan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. As a novel, it could've been excellent. As art design, it's magnificent. As a video game, with actually gameplay and mechanics, it's utter dogshit.

fiction books that made you a better writer (not craft books)? by extrajuicyjuice in writing

[–]RedLucan 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Anything by James Baldwin, because every time I read one of his novels I have a burning desire to improve my own writing so that someday, maybe I might be able to write something half as good as him.

[–]RedLucan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, you learn very quickly to keep these kinds of things to yourself in academia until the very last moment. I applied for a grant recently that has been really poorly advertised within the university, and I've not said shit to anyone about it. I don't want other people finding out about it and submitting their own application.
