Blackchamber posted:He has stated before, and I'm sure several times, that he is like a smart person. Not valley girl 'like' but that he and smart people have a lot in common 'like'. He's also smart related because at one point when he was explaining why hes 'like a smart person' he said his dad graduated from MIT or something, and we all know that college degrees are passed down as an inheritance. Considering that college degrees are a requirement for sperm donors in many places in the US, I'm guessing a lot of people would agree

Drone_Fragger posted:What is it with grimdark space universes and "Whoops we made an AI that was sentient and now we don't use computers anymore or know what technology is" Well, if you're going for grimdark then your alternative is "we made an AI and now everything is terrible." On the flip side you either have AI and everything is great or you don't have AI and human organization is a clusterfuck. I guess you could somehow thread the needle and have a grimdark world where AI exists but is useless in saving humanity from itself, in which case it's little more than window dressing.

CaptainViolence posted:literally every excerpt i've ever seen reads exactly as if someone who hated the book wrote a parody of it. it mangles my mind that something so poorly written has any hype at all. it somehow makes me miss when twilight was huge, and that makes me quietly contemplate what the sweet release of death will finally feel like If I've learned anything from these last ten years of my life, it's that you can never lose money by underestimating the quality of work that people are willing to consume. I feel that you can write a book where every sentence is no more than ten words long using only words you learn in elementary school and it will sell millions so long as you put enough references into it. Watch out for my next book: Monster Island Romance, where a gamer is sent to a world populated by hot monster ladies and has sex with all of them because they are extremely turned on by his ability to quote game, movie, and science trivia at them. It will sell billions

Doc Hawkins posted:that we're all so familiar with the fuckups of greek gods and not anything about them that might seem to merit veneration is in part due to christian propaganda, so who's got the last laugh now Nah, that was the attitude of Greeks at the time, too. The Greek gods were forces of nature. They were something you respected and feared, but also tried to avoid. Just look at their myths: being loved by the gods never ended well. Sometimes it was even worse than being despised by the gods. Your best hope was to just never be noticed by them. The only god who was actually chill was Hermes and that’s why he still has cults that persist to this day

Admiral Joeslop posted:Remember at the end of the IT book where all the 11-12 year olds hosed the single girl in the group so they could form a bond that linked them together forever? I wish I didn't remember. It was specifically so that they could get out of the sewers, with the implication that IT's magic or influence or whatever would separate them/keep them down there forever if they didn't have a strong enough bond. This is something that they sort of randomly deduce on their own without anything actually hinting at it What I'm getting at is that King is a bad writer who came up with the most contrived reason possible to write a preteen sex scene in one of his books. At least it was memorable I guess!

Megillah Gorilla posted:So tired of people trying to do this. "Oh no, the infinite monkeys on Reddit guessed the big gimmick, better throw everything into the trash and push out some random garbage." It's especially stupid because we already have a literary tool specifically for dealing with this: the red herring. If your audience has a pretty good guess about what the big upcoming twist that you've been building towards is, then just throw in some misinformation to throw them off. Have them suddenly start going "wait, poo poo, this changes everything" and making new theories. Then by the time you get to the big twist they're thrown off twice over and you don't have to compromise the cool plot you wanted to do. It's incredible that so many writers are more interested in antagonizing their readers than having the confidence to stick to a good narrative they already made

People bought into the “fast food is terrible for you!” rhetoric so hard that they’re afraid to eat common combinations of bread and meat with sauce. Supersize Me probably did more harm than good in that now lots of people think they’re nutritionist geniuses because they don’t eat certain types of food but also don’t bother actually examining what they do eat

Memento posted:There's a news article I can't find right now about why the population in Russia is declining, and it basically boils down to "we've been taught our entire lives through government policy and state-run media that we're not worth anything, so gently caress it, we're not worth anything". It's pretty depressing, actually. Ah, so America and Russia DO have something in common …Though that actually contradicts what I know about Russia. Both of my parents are Russian and spend pretty much all their free time watching RT and poo poo. They’re both extremely oorah-nationalistically proud of being Russian and are convinced that Russians are all the best, greatest, kindest, most competent and capable (not to mention most humble) people on the planet who can do no wrong. Maybe it’s different actually in Russia, but at the very least their exposure to state-run media has only made their egos bigger
