Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

This reminds me of that cat cafe lady who was being a disaster on social media by role playing a cat but talking about serious topics like how poo poo her business was.

for a while in college i was stuck as a street performer in a no-name amusement park, basically we were "street urchin themed clowns" which is basically just Newsies in juggalo facepaint. all of us lived in the same poo poo house which had a colony of feral cats in the basement the lifers would use as a side hustle, by selling off all the kittens that would accumulate. the water didn't work so we washed in a large communal rain basin which was partially dug into the earth, heated by a firepit below.

i was the only sober person there, and after reading through Final Fantasy House, i realized what the poo poo my life was going to turn into and got myself a job down at Uncle Hickory's Dick Suckery.

He also did videos about Chris Chan and DSP. Best thing is he treats the subject matter as seriously as his videos about historical stuff, and they are all pretty comprehensive.

So she states quite clearly she doesn't have a mate in the first section, but in the last paragraph the whatever a "next generation alpha" is, is her mate, even though she's never talked to him? I'm very concerned about the internal consistency of this erotic werewolf fiction.

Oh yeah, I read on that app. It lets people publish and monetize their serial fiction without having to deal with barriers to entry like "editing" or "novelty", came out a couple of years ago. The quality of the prose is atrocious, to the extent where I'm not sure how many of the authors are actually native English speakers. Its nominal target audience is looking for women-authored romance fiction.

A little bit after it launched, some teen made like 10 grand in a couple of weeks with a lovely Twilight fan-fic. Ever since then, the site has been descending further into madness. Pretty much their entire reader base is also publishing on the platform, so there's a massive feedback loop where everyone is ripping off everybody else's work, all of which was also ripped off. A lot of it makes no sense to outsiders, because it's assumed that all of their readers are intuitively familiar with the tropes of the genre.

Basically, it's well on its way to turning into the next Omegaverse.

Yeah, that one really runs the gamut from "Weird guy" to "Obsessive guy" to "rear end in a top hat" to "Chris-chan-like Victim" to "Violently unstable rear end in a top hat" to "Oh gently caress schizophrenia's taken him over hasn't it" to "Well, gently caress."

The Cat Cafe one was a little too much reading-facebook-posts, but I guess there wasn't a whole lot else to go on.

I just saw a Coke Zero ad on youtube where the only text was 'finally a sequel that doesn't disappoint', and I'm not sure if dunking on the new star wars is a good move or a bad one, but dang
