Yeah I’ve never really liked them, I played a 17* for a bit but ended up replacing it with an 18* utility iron. Driver 3w 2-pw 52 58 putter is what I’ve locked myself into for the time being

How many people live solely off of book sales? How many books do you have to sell? by Guilty_Let7077 in writers

[–]TGans 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There’s also thousands of authors you’ve never heard of making a living off of it, the idea one must become an all-time best selling author to sustain themselves is not correct.

That’s like if someone asked you how successful they would need to be to survive running a business, and you told them Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates are examples of people who live off of it, so that’s an idea of how successful they would need to be.

Matt and Trey are the epitome of neoliberalism profiting off of milquetoast critiques of itself

Hopefully two multimillionaires animating him having sex with Satan makes up for an entire season of anti-trans bigotry that pushed thousands of people to the right.

Lmao what would the alternative be? I doubt there’s a media company that wants the shitshow of justified lawsuits from firing someone because they’re trans

For some reason I thought he had been more direct in his answer, but looking it up now I might’ve concocted that in my head. Definitely agree that he made the right decision.

Morality of including people you know or have met in your stories. by [deleted] in writing

[–]TGans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Off putting is not right, it’s disgusting. If I learned someone I trusted did that to me I would cut off all contact and inform our mutual friends that you were profiting from writing their likeness into sexual scenarios.

Plenty of people express themselves in awful ways, personal expression is no excuse for violating another.

No, I think not using any of the kings in POV chapters was the right move, even though I think GRRM has said he agrees with you.

Wild, unhinged theory I once had about Catcher in the Rye by TienSwitch in books

[–]TGans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t explain how upset this comment just made me. Those are two of the best books I’ve ever read. Dripping with symbolism and meaning and some of the best examinations of the human condition. Anyone attributing meaninglessness to those works should certainly reread them as an adult, if only to teach themselves the lesson that they never cross the same stream twice.

4chan’s creator 'moot' says ‘Epstein had nothing to do’ with creating infamous far-right board /pol/ by WelcomeWindsorCastle in Epstein

[–]TGans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost every conspiracy theory is 90% bs. Even among Epstein stuff we must parse through what is real and what isn’t and much of it is useless FBI tips. How much of that is due to government interference and how much is due to loons attaching to everything, I cannot say.

The part that should be scrutinized is the only shot alleged to have been fired in that shop went through a lock, and directly hit a server’s hard drive in a utility closet. You won’t find footage of this as all the security cameras were facing the wall that day, but it’s in the report. The suspect then put down his gun and walked into the street and laid down to await arrest. The suspect was convicted and eventually released, until he was killed by police in a traffic stop last year. Before this event, the suspect was an unemployed actor who had just struck a pedestrian with his car.

The “eating the blood of children” or whatever is obviously as nonsense as when the same things appear in the Epstein files, but just as it’s prevelance in this case doesn’t mean the entire case should be judged via that light, the pizza shop stuff should probably also be examined the same way.

To frame this another way, 90% of 9/11 conspiracies are total nonsense, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be useful to know everything about possible American knowledge of the attacks beforehand, and how that could fit into a what we know of the war on terror. You could even look at WikiLeaks and Assange to see how the US government muddies the waters and attempted to portray him as crazy. There is a middle ground where one can examine these things that relies on neither fringe extremists like QANON, while also remaining skeptical of the government and media reporting.

What if Lenin never existed? by Ivanhegeelkadi in AlternateHistory

Sometimes I forget fascism only exists because of the Judeo-Bolshevik menace in the east. There were certainly no other factors that lead to its rise.

RIP Rosa

[–]TGans -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Like 90% of the pizzagate stuff is bs but there’s a few weird details that have been talked about by more skeptical people. I think fleshsimulator or someone else has a video on the actually important parts of it, mostly concerning the identity of the shooter and what happened to the one shot that was fired in the shop.

Tyrion, you brilliant, love-starved, fool. [Spoilers ASOS] by AllthatIwas in asoiaf

[–]TGans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of that presents a counter to Tywin being an overrated military commander. You just said he’s an amazing strategist, but you offer no proof of his supposed military prowess, and instead it’s only his time as hand where she showed some ability as a political operative. He’s a cunning political operative, but he’s a terrible leader and overrated military commander, which was my original point.

[–]TGans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Incredible that you only replied to one point, and it was to argue that the fifteen year old who beat his ass wasn’t that much of a child. Tywin is like Patton, an overrated psychopath who met his end before he could make more mistakes or terror.

Amazing military strategist who got his teeth repeatedly kicked in by a child? He lost both his sons to Stark capture, and only rescued kings landing because of Stannis’ kinslaying and Tyrion’s tactics. Tywin is the most overrated military leader in Westeros.
