    Questions about ‘Global’ Trope

    I rather liked "Everyone Else is a Returnee". One of the few harem novels where I liked the harem. The example may be a little dated by internet standards, but the author did not use the "global" theme as a mere starting point. It is easy to forget about the rest of Earth when your protagonists...

    Can't Access Scribble Hub Without VPN

    I do not see any issue with the certificate. But @Heartmint's advice to change your DNS is solid. Why? Because unless you set a default, your device will use the network's DNS. As for why a VPN fixes the issue, the VPN sets its own DNS provider. I.e., if you use airvpn, you use their DNS server...

    I wish you a speedy recovery mate. Maybe try changing diet every week until you find something that works. Had a mate with very bad gluten intolerance/coeliac disease back when people did not believe in such things. He used this tactic and discovered his perfect diet was vegetables and meat...

    When rating something do you see a 5/10 as average or failing?

    I rarely give more than 8/10. To illustrate, if I were to grade Newton, he would get a 9/10 in physics. Most of my 10/10 ratings were given in the heat of the moment and while drunk. Most of the things I read are 6/10. 4/10 is failing. 5/10 is that sweet spot in between.

    How much details do you use?

    TL;DR: it depends; travelogues need detailed descriptions; otherwise, prefer minimal style; must consider the reader; less descriptions == more assumptions; It depends on what I write and for whom I write. I enjoy reading detailed travelogues, both of places I have lived in and places I have...

    That I will not need to visit again. Like most people who consume copious amounts of alcohol, I am a coward who prefers forgetting the existence of such vileness. If I wanted that kind of "content", I could go to see it live.

    There is a surprising number of experienced authors there. Should they turn to writing thrillers, they could be successful. Unfortunately, they spend their time writing disturbing smut.

    Proving that the Star System is useless

    I was expecting a thread on star sheets and different map projections of the star system showing why the classification of different parts of the universe into "star systems" is useless. Imagine my disappointment.
