I really don't understand how "without getting kudos or comments a fanfiction author is going to assume that people who clicked their fic didn't like it" became a controversial take.

I don't know why some people think an author should imagine, or guess that people who click their fic enjoyed it it when nobody is telling them that.

If you're re-reading a fic constantly, or leaving it up in your tab so that it re-loads every day for a hundred days the author is not going to know that unless you tell them. They'd love to hear it. It would make their day.

And if you don't tell them you liked their fic, there's no reason for them to assume you did.

When I became freelance, one of my first marketing contracts was fixing my boss' blog posts and articles that he had 'written' with ChatGPT.

It was the single most soul-sucking task I have ever done in my life. I could have ghostwritten it for them faster than it took me to edit it.

ChatGPT would often hallucinate features of the product, and often required more fact-checking than the article was worth.

It is absolutely no surprise that 77% of employees report that AI has increased workloads and lowered productivity, while 96% of executives believe it has boosted it.

The reality is that it's only boosted the amount of work employees have to do which leads to increased burnout, stress and job dissatisfaction.

FDA warning letters are awesome. you can tell how pissed off some of the people writing them are. a few highlights of the dozen or two letters I read today:

when one company found out an inspection was happening, they deleted a ton of files related to manufacturing. when asked why they deleted those files, they said they simply did not want to talk about their contents with the inspector

a company had dripping pipes on manufacturing equipment that said it was clean and ready to use. they said it was fine because that manufacturing equipment was not being used. the inspector watched it get used

a website selling oxy without a prescription

if you put on full sterile garb with your bare hands and before putting on gloves it is not fucking sterile

STOP CRAWLING ON THE FLOOR. AND IF YOU CRAWL ON THE FLOOR, CHANGE YOUR FUCKING GEAR

one company saying they test their water for contaminants to make sure their water is being filtered correctly. the FDA inspector then pointed out their water tested positive for contaminants dozens of times and still used it in manufacturing

if you sell drugs in the united states you have to follow united states drug laws. yes even if what you did is fine back in your country

inspectors being pissed about unsafe and badly tested products being sold to children

your so called sterility sucked x 10000

STOP FUCKING SELLING UMBILICAL CORDS‼️‼️

I see the original post going around every so often and it saddens me a little that it's never accompanied by this thread explaining why it's completely understandable how a child would arrive at these spellings in accordance with english phonetics
