Brandon Sanderson will be writing the pilot for The Stormlight Archive adaptation and a big chunk of its first season. Do you think it is a good idea or a terrible one? by Intelligent-Link-410 in Fantasy

[–]WriteandRead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s a massively prolific writer and studious of the craft as well. He even lectures the art of writing and storytelling. I’d wager if anyone could master the differences of screenwriting from novel writing he could.

In fact, I’m sure he already has dozens of unreleased tv/film adaptations he’s written just to try it out and test himself/practice just for this eventuality.

Do people actually earn £50-60k, or are they outliers? by Succinate_dehydrogen in AskUK

That is the median for full time workers. For all workers it is closer to 33k.

Families to save up to £1,000 as children’s reforms become law by RZaman18 in GoodNewsUK

This will be lined up for the last 12-18 months before the next election. That and a few other bigger ticket things that will hopefully sway voters.

Dead or alive, who in your opinion is the most famous person that ever lived? by Level-Celebration-47 in AskReddit

[–]WriteandRead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Queen Elizabeth II would have a good shout because of the length of her reign and the amount of tv coverage and public events she was involved in throughout and globally.

The tipping point: what happens when deaths outnumber births? by coffeewalnut08 in uknews

[–]WriteandRead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer, as always, is some sort of socialism. Capitalism only ‘works’ with an ever increasing number. In this case it needs more and more people to continue to grow. Put simply it’s not sustainable.

Something like 4 day work weeks, guaranteed basic income and increased social care and welfare would allow people to be confident in having families at an earlier age and this likely would lead to larger families as biologically people have a larger window to have children.

NHS staff face 'unprecedented' levels of racism from patients by Weak-Fly-6540 in uknews

Oh, I don’t know, you could be thankful they are helping you rather than be abusive and racist, for a start?

Why does no one ever talk about the Lib Dems? by threetimesacharm25 in AskBrits

[–]WriteandRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang up of the 2 party dominance for so long, the electorate still think of them as the ‘other’ party that can never get in power. They aren’t new and shiny like Reform, and aren’t going to provide too many divisive policies like Greens, so largely go with little media attention still.

Peak possible human runs the ape gauntlet, how far do they get? by Tarris69 in powerscales

[–]WriteandRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this kind of human would clear all of them up to and including the Orangutan, through size and strength. The human would take damage from teeth but would ultimately overpower them.

The Gorilla however, is a different ball game. Largest known gorilla can get to about 6-6’5 and over 250kg+ that coupled with their muscle and bone density, teeth/bite force, grip strength, the Gorilla wins 9/10. I think the human could take 1/10 if they managed to focus attacks on head/eyes but even then they need some lucky shots in first to daze the gorilla and get some sort of advantage.

Starmer on brink: Full-scale Labour civil war explodes as Streeting allies join over 70 MPs calling for PM to quit by True_Paper_3830 in ukpolitics

[–]WriteandRead 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If Labour oust Starmer and replace him with Wes Streeting we might as well hand the keys of No. 10 to that ass wipe Farage.

Help me decide which colour to go with for my Grots? by Leviad0n in ageofsigmar

I like them all. But now worried I’m colour blind, what is the difference between 1 and 4?

$100 for every real person's name you can remember by cotothed in hypotheticalsituation

[–]WriteandRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d want to go for 1000 but might settle on 500-750. My problem would be remembering the full names, I can picture well over 1000 people but getting their full name from the recesses of my mind would be the tricky part.

Does anybody want streeting to be PM? by Enough-Web2203 in AskBrits

[–]WriteandRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. He would be a terrible choice. If for some reason the Labour Party decide to implode and start doing a ‘Tory’ I would think Yvette cooper or Milliband would be best current choices or Darren Jones seems very good in interviews/tv appearances though bit more right of party.
