On one hand, my knee jerk reaction is to say debates don't really matter.

On the other hand, Biden literally dropped out over the last one.

It's 690 km from the shore, not the surface

OK but I'm genuinely terrified by how common this is at my company, and its notably better at retention then the industry norm.

Screw Dead Internet Theory, this is my conspiracy: Crowdstrike style incidents are going to get more and more common as techdebt keeps growing.

Piracy steals from the rich and gives to the poor. ChatGPT steals from the rich and the poor and keeps for itself.

You're right, and now I'm kind of weirded out. The url mentions torys and mps, so I'd assume I scolled to far and the url got weird, except I'm 95% sure the thumbnail changed. My clipboard still has the quotes but not the url. And when I Google the quotes I get articles are very similar, but aren't AOL.

Anyways, here is a better link if your curious.

Either way, is calling a plotical stance a protected class normal in New York? It's not anywhere else.

Kentucky is likely violating federal law for failing to provide community-based services to adults in Louisville with serious mental illness, the U.S. Department of Justice said

DOJ report said the state “relies unnecessarily on segregated psychiatric hospitals to serve adults with serious mental illness who could be served in their homes and communities.”

if a resolution cannot be reached, the government said it could sue Kentucky to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

I kind of like the symbol, so long as it's used as a symbol. The problem is it doesn't really make sense in the headline; imagine if we inserted a bird symbol before the word Twitter or the little space dude before reddit.

Does he think he's jesus? And that the pope has Jesus's birth certificate?

That's OPs summary, but thumbing through the speakers it looks like it has more of an ethical AI angle if anything

How long do you consider a normal length for a fic?

Comments? (midwest.social)
 

What do writers look for in comments? I read a lot but I've only written a little. I'm working on writing more in-depth comments then "This is great! Can't wait to see where it goes!" but so far I'm really just setting word count goals and dragging it out until I meet them. What do writers want to read?

Basically what it say on the tin. I just finished Parable of the Sower (Octavia Butler) and I loved it. Any suggestions on what else I might like? It's been a while since I got into a scifi novel.

Edit: It's come to my attention that there's a sequel. I'll start there then. Thank you everyone!
