    I was researching a local plant to write a profile on. Imagine my shock when I learned that one of the English names for it contained the n word hard R

    The plant isn't even native to Africa. Old scientists were just racist as hell wtf

    The unwritten pitfall of writing a supernatural sidekick character who's always with the protagonist but invisible to most of the cast is that sometimes you just forget they exist. You'll write chapter after chapter before realizing they haven't spoken a word.

    I have a super natural sidekick character that none of the cast can see.
    It's name is Borgoraforty. It likes to drink rancid milk and eat stale crackers.
    We have long conversations in the public park while I feed it.

    The correct way to think about your country is to absolutely fucking despise it almost to an irrational degree

    but also to love it just a teeny bit more

    Mr. Morale is such a fascinating album, which is why I've recommended so many songs off it. Just an excuse to talk more about the record. Definitely Kendrick's most personal, conflicted work, but it's also his least immediate. Not all the songs bang, which is why I don't return to it as much, but the ones that do stand out a lot.

    United in Grief is one such song.

    So many interesting changes. So striking. So evocative. So other adjectives. I must also point out the irony of the song being called "United in Grief" while the hook goes "I grieve different."

    A perfect introduction to a deeply conflicted record.

    I feel like there's a profile picture renaissance going on. Everybody's getting new and even personalized profile pictures, highlighting their individuality.

    It makes me want to finally change my profile picture too

    But sadly part of my branding is me being a shrimp in name only. I can't afford to have any media actually related to shrimp

    That thread about sensitive subject matter reminded me of a debate I've been having with myself lately, regarding how much bad you can make your protagonist do before you lose your readers.

    We all love flawed protagonists, and in some works, these protagonists can be straight up evil. But where's the line? :blob_hmm:

    Of course it depends on the kind of story. If you're writing a dark fantasy, having your protagonist rip people's guts out might not be a turn-off for most readers. Meanwhile, if you're writing a cozy slice of life, readers might turn on you if your protagonist so much as pulls the chair on someone.

    One thing's for sure, if you make your protagonist a rapist or a pedophile, you'll likely lose most of your readers (unless you are nisioisin and you're writing the Monogatari Series).

    This could've been a thread, but that requires commitment, and I like the loose non-committal nature of the profile post :blob_hmm:

    People will look at you in the eye and tell you that Queen are a bad band

    Likewise people will look at you in the eye and tell you that The Rolling Stones are a good band

    @JayMark I'm a pacifist. That means my fists are only for people who live in the Asia-Pacific area. We love Queen around these parts

    I know a guy that doesn't like anything.
    As in if you say you like something, he will say he hates it and finds way to hate it.
    for no real personal reason or exp of it. just hate.
    the only reason we can tell is that he just hate it when he see people enjoys things.
    you can almost say the only thing he likes is for people to have nothing they enjoy.

    You know, I've never actually given these guys a listen. This is kinda wacky and fun :blob_hmm:

    Ireland's such an interesting place, and Irish identity equally so. I for one enjoy muh politics in media, as it's a good reminder of how interconnected everything and everyone is.

    So shoutout to Kneecap for being bold, inspiring the youth, and helping the revitalization of the Irish language.
