Short-term thinking destroys the long-term goals and erodes trust in that.

I really need to stop putting off learning how to edit a first draft novel.
Any tips from the writers out there?

I tended to read the King James Bible but that is probably not accurate either. It is crazy how a small change to the text can really change the meaning of it. I'm definitely not interested in translations like this. I would learn something like Greek/Latin to read the original/traditional text but I am bad at learning languages so that doesn't work for me.

What brings you to Britain? I don't think we're in a much better place than the US tbh.

Yeah, it's a very group-oriented way of looking at it. When the in-group do it, they justify it. When the out-group do it, they demonise/shame it. When you have principles/morals and you can feel shame, then these will be turned against you. They take advantage of this and I'm sick of it now.
There are no bad tactics, only bad targets comes to mind. Or is it the ends justify the means? One of those applies to what is done here.

This person really didn't think this one through. That's a low blow.
And since when did beating someone's arse have the desired effect of making them more compliant to whatever demands you have? It creates more traumatised people. It's the might makes right argument. You'd better hope that you don't try this on a bodybuilder, a soldier, someone who knows self-defence... or someone with a knife or gun.

Really sad if so. Should have left it at disowning you from the group. Even that is too much. I do wonder where people like us can properly gather in our communities and get our work out there without the lefties cancelling us for wrongthink.

2025-03-04 15:33:13 UTC

- reply

Definitely better off without those people that will disown you over a difference in opinion like this. It is still sad how fractured society and communities have become. We have become less tolerant of differences in opinions. It makes me wonder why after all this talk of tolerance. These conflicts can really get bitter between people. We haven't learned from the past on this.

In terms of looking awake, do you mean to hide the sleep bags under your eyes? I'm glad that your routine doesn't take too long, that you've found something that works for you.
Sad about your friend constantly wearing it and needing to hide her skin from her husband.
Do you think that women use it as a social control over other women? It's definitely sad that a lot of trends for young women involve women wearing makeup, feeling this need to cover up their skin and hating how their faces look.

2025-02-13 20:25:58 UTC

- reply

I wanted to ask some women to see if it matches up for them or not. I don't know why you'd wear it for other women, unless they are into it I guess?

2025-02-13 20:13:39 UTC

Spinster ladies: Why do you think that women put on lots of makeup? Is it for other women? Is this something that you have a preference for?
I read that women put on lots of makeup for other women and it honestly confuses me.

Wait... why is she celebrating hedonism?

2024-09-05 13:45:49 UTC

I think that the best way to handle when someone you like or respect unfollows you to just not get stuck in your head over it. Then you can redouble your efforts on the people that do care about you, that have stuck with you through thick and thin and try to find more people that do. If you have a circle of friends that you can turn to and have a good conversation with then that acts like a good buffer to bad feelings.

Chocolate is another decent one, if you know how to moderate yourself. But I don't want to turn to food too much.

I'm thinking about how to retain the information that I have read after watching something on it while I wait for something.
As for secession, I find this of interest: "Originally in a Roman historical context, "temporary migration of plebeians from the city to compel patricians to address their grievances."" I don't think we can do this so easily now.

Hello fedi! How are you doing today?

That sounds like a drug dependency to me. Although I have noticed people needing caffeine in order to just function, to get through the work day or wake up.

2024-09-04 19:16:43 UTC

I was once asked how I would feel if someone misgendered me and I told them that it has happened a lot of times already. So it happens anyway.
I'm basically desensitised at this point. Who cares? Call me what you like. But I am judging people. So I will call you a weirdo if you try to assert one of those weird genders onto me... be sensible.

What were the symptoms of that?

2024-09-02 13:00:54 UTC

Scary to think that this was happening that far back too. Makes me wonder how long people have been spiking drinks. The symptoms were so similar.

2024-09-02 12:19:59 UTC

I think there should be a new party rule, if you ever leave your drink somewhere unattended then treat it as contaminated. At least, don't drink it at the party and don't go home with the people at the party if you still want to drink it at home. So that if it is spiked, at least there is no one around to take advantage of you. This applies to both men and women.

But isn't that basically their audience? Like, most people don't care about star wars. But they just pissed off the people that would care to watch some obscure star wars show.

I don't know because aren't stories supposed to be escapism to a degree? So just being able to vibe in a wholesome and normal space for relationships is kind of nice. We see so many dysfunctional relationships in general and I wonder what that does to the psyche... especially when you are young and impressionable. What you are immersed in matters.

2024-09-01 18:45:13 UTC

- reply

What about stories where it is depicted as healthy rather than all these dysfunctional stories that we get these days?

2024-09-01 18:27:23 UTC

I kind of feel like there are so many homosexual stories now that we don't need to insert this into every mainstream story and congratulate ourselves for being inclusive. There is already an entire genre that has done all this before. Same when it comes to the portrayal of women, even in action films. That was awkward when there are many female action figures already.... who probably did it better too.

I would have agreed if it wasn't dangerous to breathe in the smoke. Also, pubs are having trouble staying open now so there are fewer of them around and this would limit them. I really think that a sheltered designated smoke area outside in the pub garden is the best compromise for this instead so I am saddened to hear the government are thinking of closing this down.

2024-09-01 09:57:57 UTC

- reply

I think that we already have a good balance for this when we banned smoking in doors because of poor ventilation and second-hand health complications. They should be able to have designated smoking areas outside in the pub gardens or outside their workplace to gather for a smoke.
Also, expecting Labour to tread more lightly on peoples lives is a joke. They are socialists.

2024-08-31 11:12:33 UTC

Yes, they do not seem to realise that they are squeezing the working class with socialsm. Even if you target the corporations or wealthy, the costs are passed down to the working class that are consumers. Everything costs more.

We're supposed to have common law but there is nothing commonsense about the way it works.
Also, to be fair, they are trying to copy the American style since Blair. We had a high court before, but now we have something different that holds more power. I forget the right terms as I heard it more in passing.

The justice system where I am is fucked. Pedos have more humanity under this system than the recent arrests for social media posts over the recent protests and riots. The working class are screwed up here.

2024-08-31 07:43:20 UTC

- reply

That is true. Instead, we have hate speech laws which let them make an example of us, to give us a worse punishment rather than actually fixing the punishment/justice system.

2024-08-31 07:28:54 UTC

I really hope the misgendering law exempts children and the disabled that struggle with social cues or retain a child-like mentality that makes it hard for them to understand the concept of transgender and other similar concepts.

As a writer and general observer to this phenomenon that has been forced into modern entertainment, I find it fascinating. Perhaps one day I will write an essay about these times, but more about what it is that people want to see. We have moved away from entertainment, escapism and exploring timeless themes. What is worse is this idea that the fans are to blame and that they take established stories and change them. They break the lore which even as a writer with my own works I don't want to do. Establishing worldbuilding is important, it brings in the stakes.
On saying this, I have reached this point where I find seeing what happens to corporations like Disney more entertaining than the modern stories they come up with now. Or reading what the various media outlets say about it, how they or the celebrities try to blame the fans... hilarious but bold tactic, will it pay off for them?

Thanks for that description. I still need to read more into Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin. What the differences are. I have read a bit of Marxism but only really his manifesto.
Do you know of any Marxist schools of thought that describe how the communist society would actually run? I know there is more about revolution and the transition period, but I wondered whether anyone managed to figure out what a fully communist society would look like? Not just moving through socialism although the impression I have is that this is a part of that process to communism.

If it takes over your life then that is a failure of your employer. That is not a good work-life balance. Too often you become a workaholic or deal with the stress of the job through other addictions because there isn't proper support. Then you aren't as able to handle the job and burn out. I do not think our real service job workers should be put through this. Their well-being is important too, if this isn't taken into account then we have failed them and it will be to everyone's detriment.
Yeah. I don't know how any of these officers survive the job at this point. Especially when they allow so many corrupt officers to join up.

2024-08-29 11:31:48 UTC

- reply

I just don't think we should expect officers to put their own health at risk in this way when they already put their lives at risk to solve crime. I want my officers to have the time to eat well and healthily so that they can do their job properly. Likewise, I want them to be at their peak. I want them to be able to sleep well, to exercise well, to be able to use commonsense and think clearly... to be healthy and well. Making them skip food because something happens is not conducive to solving crime overall.
It's not about it being a paycheck but letting people have the right balance between work and living their lives. So they can have healthy relationships and unwind and do all the other things you need to do in order to live well. Of course you'd want to help other people in need if you can but it shouldn't come at your own expense. You can endanger their lives if you aren't well so it works both ways.

So much for work-life balance.

2024-08-28 19:52:37 UTC

- reply

I think it is reasonable for them to report the crime to an on-duty officer. But not handle the situation themselves necessarily. They need to be able to eat well in order to serve properly too.

2024-08-28 19:31:13 UTC

- reply

To be fair, those officers were likely off-duty and we shouldn't expect them to always be on duty just because they are somewhere. They do need their lunch or dinner breaks too. At this point in time, they were her customers and not officers on duty. They could have responded better, of course. Perhaps contacted the police themselves so someone on duty could handle the case.

Why are the Left giving up the weird ground by handing it over to the Right? This makes no sense because the Left are supposed to be the outcasts of the system which would automatically make them the weird ones. It should be a badge of honour to be called weird. They were advocating for the people that would be called the weirdos.

It used to not be difficult to find. Then globalism and mass-immigration of all kinds came along and squeezed us dry of funds. Made it hard for the native working class to start businesses and keep them going. That is who I want to support more.

Also, as an aside, it's tough being in the head of people that manipulate, are abusive or are basically sociopaths. Being the abuser and the abused to figure out how they might react to each other.

I'm curious what your views of this are. It's a dilemma that I'm in for writing.

Is there a way to write an antihero essentially, where you aren't justifying or glorifying their bad behaviour but you give them a chance for a redemption arc?

Is this the nature of power itself? It corrupts people into the worst versions of themselves, to take on traits that we typically associate with masculinity? To play the game and get ahead, you lose a lot of feminine graces and sensibilities or masculine kindness and wisdom. I say this with great reverence for femininity and masculinity, and I think there is a difference between them which I am still trying to understand.

2024-08-21 02:12:07 UTC

Yes, I was also going to point out that they often discuss what they have been doing in their everyday life, perhaps complaining about something that happened. Which gets a bit harder when your everyday is niche interests.

That is a good point. I'm not a genius but my interests aren't common for normal people so I tend to be more solitary with them. It can be better that way.

They could start by doing their jobs properly. To uphold the law, to prevent murders, rapes and thefts. To not cower to minorities or waste money. To address the problem behind the mass murder that happened and to be open to us that this is a problem that they understand. To support the people, especially those impacted by this.

The police have shown that it works for minorities or for foreign issues. They set the standard doing this.
