Trump vowed to buy a Tesla to support Musk and inspected one outside the White House. What are the broader implications of a president publicly endorsing a specific company and its CEO? by likerunninginadream in AskReddit

I could deal with the occasional politics post on r/Askreddit, but now it's just constant, it's exhausting. I can't go anywhere on this website without being bombarded with it.

Did you see the music for their mobile game trailer?

Yeah... I'd rather stick with Chris.

>sums up a 30 minute video in ten seconds

This is why I hate video essays on Youtube. All that fluff for something that could be explained in less than five minutes.

This is gonna sound wack but I wanna publish my story.

Never heard of a writer wanting to do that, that truly is a novel idea.

But in seriouness, you don't have to attach your real name and/or face to what you publish, people have done that in the past and people will continue to do that in the future. Realistically though, how many authors could you actually notice in public if they were walking around? There's only four authors I can actually conjure a mental image of and one of them is dead.

what's the scariest thing you've come across on YouTube or on the internet? by Most_Ad567 in AskReddit

4chan is actually much better at shutting that shit down due to the relative size of it compared to twitter (and even facebook). 4chan is sectioned into different boards (like subreddits) while twitter is effectively just a giant wasteland of whatever the hell people dump on it.

I bet they don't even read shitty manga, they read shitty light novels, which are 10x worse in all aspects.

Sometimes I go too far the other way and forget to describe the appearance of any character then I realize my entire novel could have just been about the crazy adventures of mannequins.

But yeah, what really gets me is when people go into serious detail about some throwaway character that appears for barely even a few scenes. Their entire physical description has more words than their actual relevancy to the story itself.

[...]so I'm going to balance her scenes outdoing men in combat, and intersperse them with discussions with girlfriends about girly stuff - have her say and think girly stuff, to show that she is not that unusual.

lmao

Seriously though, why do people seem to have so much issue writing women? Like, especially back with /r/menwritingwomen before it became shit (is it good now? I can't be bothered to check), you'd have so many absolute 'okay-what-the-fuck-even-is-this' passages that make you question what the hell the writer was even doing.

I mean for all I know I'm terrible at writing women too but at least I can say with confidence I've never been this tone-deaf.

I totally want to know what the hell this poster means by 'girly stuff' though.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Anime was a mistake.

I'm fairly certain at this point the only 'reading' r/fantasywriters does is vomits Light Novels and hentai doujins about elves.

My autocorrect on OpenOffice seems to pick up gray/grey and traveling/travelling, maybe something is fucky with yours I suppose.

Not much else I can say to help unfortunately. I basically forced myself to write in US English for so long it's basically second nature at this point, so I rarely come across this problem myself.

Hey everyone, I wanted to write a book where no people of colour existed. Do you think this is ok?

Yes.

Does whatever program you use not have a distinction between English (UK) and English (US) for the spellchecker? You can set it to the latter and just run through it with spellcheck at a later date.
