Remember, if its not a scal money should be flowing towards the writer/artist. Agent is asking you to pay for proof reading? Scam Company wnats you to do work for free to prove you can produce at standard? Scam.

hello my loves <3 do not ever, ever, ever "officially" create for an IP that you have not signed a vetted contract to be paid for. this is a tactic companies use to get a free writer's room they don't have to pay for. you won't see a cent and they will own your work. don't do it.

a Canoue in the louisiana bayou. Never rowed, can swim... at least I like the food and can speak the languag, and Ive never seen a live aligator. I can work with it.

spin the wheel for a random location!!

I'd be intrested in both but if its OR, then as I already do a lot of sedentiary kitchen work hunting would add some variety to my chores.

for the sake of clarity: The first option means hunting for wild game, and/or killing farm animals that have been raised for their meat. Not hunting sheep like they're game.

My favorite animal, no question. Nature's little bulldoser pinecone dinosaurs.

"Its 4pm but I need to shower, so with drying off and finding towels thast 3pm Its 3pm exept that I'll need lunch so its really more like 2pm by time I decide what to eat, make it and eat it. Its 2pm but its at laest half an hour away closer to 45 mins so its definately 1pm / noon Its noon (to be safe) but I'll need to pick out fresh clothes so yeah thats 11 am by time I go though all the drawers and find socks that are decent. Its 11 am, ut I'll need coffee, my mother will want brefast and theres the cat to be fed so, yeah thats 10 am if the thing is at 10 am I need to write out some scrtos and get anything needed together so 9, call it 8 am for that If its 8am and I usually cant sleep to 4am I may as well pull an all nighter becase I wont get any sleep fearing I'll oversleep"

I still think its less likly to be him dumping these woumen and more likly that the moment their brains finish developing they are done with hsi shit.

We realised that burning fossil fuels was altering the climate in the 1800s, and didnt stop using them untill- Oh...

So we have welcome accepted jusdment free sexual promiscuity? No. So theres good drugs legal and avalable for the asking? No. So religion is obsolite? Also no? So dissabled people are found usefull work suited to their capabilites? No AGAIN? WTF is Brave New World doing here?

Even where suprise is the point? You should have an incling. Becausea story is about events linked to each other, the shape of the past defines the same of the present. If all you want is suprise? havea probem intrduced by santa and solved by a talking pony in your gritty cyberpunk thing, no one will expect that! Half way through your book have a metiorite hit and the resulting mass extincion leaves the rest just blank pages! No sense no reason we only care about being impossible for the reader to anticipate.

that some people respond to any well-foreshadowed reveal with “ugh that plot twist was so predictable” proves bad faith criticism has rotted their brains to the point they think it’s bad writing if they can correctly identify information the writers were intentionally giving them

Less "Draining the swamp" and more swamping the drain.

Dwarves have a Bakeoff version too, but it takes yaers because each contestant starts with a an ironstone rich unwored section of mountain pasture and has to clear and till the soil, barter for grain, plough sow, harvet and grind their flour, making their oven and cutting wood for it in the mean time as well as extracting bits of ore to smelt and forge all ones own cookwear and aperatus. Its popularity has head to an increae in grain, oats and rye being grown in dwarven lands, and a reduction in nesicary imports from human lands, only increasing beacse now the show has been running long enough they can stagger phases so a taping includes differnt heats at all stages.

Elf cooking show: First person helmetcam of a an elf hunting and killing a deer with their bare hands. They sing a lullabye to the deer before they snap it's neck and prepare a side salad.

Dwarf cooking show: America's Test Kitchen but even more rigorous. 20 minutes of discussing how to maintain precise heat just to boil water.

Halfling cooking show: Great British Bake Off with soap-opera levels of internal drama. Everyone is stoned off their ass.

Orc cooking show: Edible mythbusters. The contestants must make bbq with a live dragon. People straight up die sometimes.

Goblin cooking show: Goblins don't really understand the concept of restaurants, but they have a show like Diners Dive ins and Dives for rooting through people's trash.

its called the ToS because no one gives a toss about their hypocrytical posturing.

OpenAI is whining about how DeepSeek "stole" from them to train their own model, which is against ToS

Bugbear...eh I can still type and make bread so its a viable minum of me-ness.

Ok, so you've been isekai'd to the dnd world and may or may not die due to the class you've been assigned. Better question. Are you human? (spinner wheel of all dnd5e species)

some how its "But he's autistic", when its a billionare throwng nazi salutes, but "Look at that weirdo" when I start stimming because its too loud.

fyi if you're trying to use the fact that that rancid ass muskrat cunt is autistic to be like "oh he didn't know what he did was wrong" about the fact that he threw up a fucking nazi salute then you are one of the stupidest fucking cunts to walk the earth and since we're in a housing crisis you should start offering the massive amount of empty fucking space in your skull for rent

Now lets enforce it. (But I worry that that word 'purely' is going to carry a lot of weight and we'll just get sweat shops of the least viable human input added.)

I'm definatelt a mix of 1-4 in my distaste. On a pure personal note I object to feeding (without real option to back out) a machine that genertaes tech company profits and makes my own writing career harder. (becase too many companys will preffer shit from a prompt to payinga writer) and also because the big publishing houses are insisting on claining the training rights for works they publish. But I'm also a big open sorce advocate. If the training data belongs to is all (was scalped from the internet indescriminately) then no profit should be able to be genertaed from it (an open sorce model helps as would enfocement of the non-copywritability of generatave NN outputs as decided by the US supream courts). If no profit can be wrung from it we should (because it costs money to sustain and to shoehorn into everything) see less AI slop cluttering up the web, while preserving as I put it, Human Centred uses. And lesser environmental impact removes the remaining objection I have.

I really am not sure what the ideologically anti-AI people gloating about all the silicon valley stocks tanking because DeepSeek think the actual long-term (or even short-term!) consequences of AI suddenly getting incredibly more efficient and cheaper to run/train will be.
