I have never understood how not having children is selfish. How can not forcing life on someone be selfish. Honestly I feel like it is sexist because I always see the sentiment aimed at women.

People think I'm smart because I wear glasses. I failed an eye test and the answers were right in front of me.

I downloaded an app to help organize my tasks. Your avatar levels up like a video game. Uninstalled after twenty minutes because it was just another thing that I had to remember to do

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns
eight leatherbound books all titled "FERNS" volumes 1 through 8

If your Top 10 Scariest Books Ever is half Stephen King I probably won't care about your recommendations. Stephen King is the Frank's Red Hot of horror. Intense enough for most people but some of us need something with more kick.

The world is full of shit that needs to be boycotted. And as poor people it can be very hard to boycott everything. So I think it's ok to just pick a few things that you feel strongest about to boycott.

I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

In this time of anger and judgment and self-righteous posturing, everyone needs to read this book. My friend Michael Berryman has endured more adversity than anyone I've ever met . . . and he's one of the happiest people I've ever met. It's a privilege to know him.

The quickest way to get your story rejected is not following the submission guidelines. No graphic sex means don't open the story with a description of your MC raping their wife.

Stop treating your readers like idiots. "How are you doing?" asked Mr. Spencer "Not well Shawn" Mr. Spencer's first name was Shawn. Yes, we know. Context clues. You don't have to spell it out.

The customer is always right in matters of taste. That means if you want to buy an ugly ah shirt I'll let you. It doesn't mean that you get to yell in my face because I tell you that we have not stocked that shirt in over five years.

I do not need a page telling me what a background character is watching and the history of the film if it isn't plot relevant. "As John passed the living room he saw that his roommate was watching some black and white movie" Please stop padding your stories. Length without substance is worthless.

Trump is making all this bullshit up as he goes along. No object permanence whatsoever. Yesterday means nothing. Tomorrow the same. It's about right now, and tomorrow he'll make up something else that's just as imbecilic in a different way. Fucking batshit crazy.
