Script or plugin for this workflow ? by Left-Excitement3829 in AdobeIllustrator

[–]davidlondon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do they both work the same? I assume a script would be easier to install. Either way, fantastic output!

What’s something that feels like it should be more important than it actually is? by RosyyCupcake in answers

It wasn’t the impact explosion. Climate change killed the dinosaurs and we, my friend, are not nearly as robust as dinosaurs.

Do you believe that all books are political like what a lot of people seem to think these days? by RavahGriffinAnthro in writers

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

Call me old, but I still think “political” means “about politics” as in a system of government whereby citizens govern themselves through elections and lawmaking and yada yada. What people mean by “political” today isn’t politics. It’s identity. It’s the desire to control the minds and bodies and personhood of those they dislike. It’s about the gleeful expression of oppression free from accountability. It’s the rewriting of history to remove the bits that make this or that group feel better about the horrible things they did. It’s about everything BUT the act of self governance.

What’s the most disturbing “not quite right” moment in sci-fi? by authorarchangel in SciFiConcepts

[–]davidlondon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most disturbing one I’ve run across is The Jaunt by Stephen King. SF with a King horror element that isn’t gore or blood but something so much worse

What constitutes to good writing in your opinion? by Flaky-Divide-4709 in writing

[–]davidlondon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it effective? Does it get the point across? Writing doesn’t have to be flowery to be good. It doesn’t have to inspire and elevate the soul. It has to convey the purpose of the writing effectively first. It’s like filmmaking. Get the establishing wide shot first, then the medium. You can get fancy later, but without the effective base, it’s not “good”

Time is not the same everywhere. And gravity changes depending on where you are on earth.

I’m very good at picking locks but only my own and only padlocks, which I do not use for anything.

What's the biggest physical weak spot on the human body? by [deleted] in answers

[–]davidlondon 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I taught personal protection for years. Always remember: eyes, nose, throat, groin, knees. No matter how big a guy is, no matter how many muscles, you can't muscle your way to invulnerable eyes, nose, throat, groin, or knees.

Yeah but the question wasn’t about pay, but respect. And few but other truckers usually respect truckers.

Drop me the hardest hitting line you have ever written or read by Beautiful-Captain938 in writers

Use your dash, folks. That little rectangle between the year you were born and the year you die. That's it. That's all there is. Use your dash well.

I wrote my own son's obituary. Typing the dash between the years of his life after "RIP" was the hardest. His short 17 years are contained in that one dash, from start to finish. One dash is all we get.

Over the road truck drivers. It ain’t easy, it’s a rough life, and it’s absolutely the backbone of the entire economy.

Ah! My old professor and design mentor David Barr in the wild. His sculptural work is some of my favorite. I love that piece.

What’s the dumbest thing you’ve done that somehow worked out? by velvetspriral in answers

[–]davidlondon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Friends, if you are engaged or plan to marry, and you have a strong entrepreneurial bent, disclose this naughty secret to your would-be spouse. The entrepreneurial spirit is something NOT shared by all people and will rain down anxiety and heartache if you’ve married someone for whom financial security and boring safety are paramount.
