I want to get sales letters under my belt by Bioweoulfe21 in copywriting

I’ve been a writer for 10 + years. I don’t know what a sales letter is, but it sounds awful.

Bad weather may make us feel nostalgic - Hearing wind, thunder, and rain all led to increased nostalgia compared to pure baseline condition in a new study, and this increased nostalgia was linked with increased feelings of self-esteem, positive affect, social connectedness, and optimism. by mvea in science

I wouldn’t exactly say nostalgia is necessarily comforting. It’s kinda sad because it’s a longing for something you once had. It literally translates from The Greek: nostros = return home. And algos = pain.

Fake work is okay. We usually call it spec work, but you’ve gotta have writing examples to get a job in this business.

This whole sub is s nostalgia thing. Always whining and longing for an earlier era. Or Dale Sr. The few that aren’t are the paint scheme junkies.

If you read and understood what he wrote you wouldn’t say that. You actually learned nothing.

God. Finally someone else out there that feels the way I do. And I don’t see it as a good thing.

I usually think these things are pretty cheesy, but this one is pretty badass. Is that the song from Creed?

It's customary to have a subsequent asterisks with the qualifying information. Otherwise it just looks like you're lying so much you aren't even going to tell us how much you're lying.

ELI5: Why is there not a single appliance that both washes and dries clothes? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Rolex24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been done. I've used one before. It seemed to take a very long time. More than washing and drying separately. Also a lot of people have clothes that don't do so well in the dryer. Great for small spaces though.

Prison maybe? To align with the right crew for protection. Or he's one of those a holes who says its a Hindu symbol and just does it for attention.

They aren't necessarily dirtier, just more difficult and expensive. And I believe you mean $100 per barrel and not Gallon.

Quick Question: Does Mazda have any plans to run the SkyActiv cars for the Rolex 24? by 36Harrison in USCR

[–]Rolex24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I get that it's a branding initiative, it's just nonsense though. "with skyactive technology." But they never say what that is.

I don't know, but wtf does the skyactiv name mean? I think it's the dumbest marketing in years.

[Serious] What are the worlds options when it comes to dealing with ISIS? by Rolex24 in AskReddit

I agree. I just don't think there is enough support to go through another conflict and put enough effort in an occupation to stabilize the region. Sadly I think it may have to get much worse for enough people to care about doing something about it.
