I try to. Of course, being based on that same school, my writing frequently contains things such as this: (Racial slur ahead) Both slurs are necessary to describe that environment in any sort of honest manner, but I'm still ultimately the one using them here, even if I'm not directly targeting anyone. The first could conceivably be used against me at some point, but I'm too attracted to women to feel like I have a free pass to start throwing it around all time, and I don't have any ancestry* from the group the second word is aimed at. I think their presence can be justified on the grounds of realism and social commentary, but someone might still get offended with me, and I couldn't really blame them for it. *I probably do if we look back a few thousand years, but you get the idea.
Found an online story that bills itself as a modern-day cyberpunk novel. Looks to be self-published, but the writing seems fairly decent so far. http://dopaminenovel.com/#/story
Most days Pacific island humidity and heat doesn't get to me, but today I wanted to climb in a chest freezer and nap the day away. Just downpour and get it over with already!
Working on story about child abuse. Less potentially inflammatory than the one about racism, but harder for me to write without losing my temper and skewing everything.
Flavorless protein powder + flavorless bulk branched chain amino acids (micro-fine powder) = tastes like licking the inside of an aspirin making pill-press machine.
Why would anyone go with flavorless protein? Just go to GNC and get you some good tasting Syntha-6. Cookies and cream and strawberry are awesome btw. Someone choose my college for me.
The fact that so many television commercials for prescription drugs use cartoon and animated characters should tell us something about how the pharamaceutical companies view the intelligence of their (presumably adult) target audience.
Yes, it tells us that the complexities of medicine aren't usually visible in the bodies of most actors. The Visible Man maybe, but there aren't a lot of him running around in Hollywood.
I'm going to answer your question with a question. Which conveys depression better, a man who kind of seems distracted, or a woman being followed by the blue blob-like personification of her mental illness?
Ah. No, I was thinking of the COPD medication commercial using The Big Bad Wolf, or the toenail fungus one with a cartoonish fungus creature, or the ad touting prescription medicine for acid reflux that uses some sort of cartoon character (and there are others). Seems odd to me when kids can't take the drugs in question.
1.) Why do you think cartoons are only for kids? 2.) Toenail fungus is pretty disgusting to depict in real life, acid reflux isn't visible to an outsider, and COPD is a lot easier to depict when you can draw the inside of a body.
Hey everyone! Guess which three games I got from Steam? Rome: Total War. I am, of course, playing as the Romans. Medieval II: Total War. I am playing as the English, and by my cunning, the English shall establish an Empire in Europe! And speaking of Empires... Empire: Total War! I am, of course, playing as the French as the French, as we all know, are supreme in almost every way. She shall carve out an empire the world over! MUWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAA!!!
By weird, do you mean it's a weird compared to other states or weird even compared to Texas' normal amount of weirdness?
I really meant the former, but the latter applies as well. However, living in Dallas, I'm sheltered from a lot of that weirdness.
