If there is one thing in life your parents should teach you before the age of 18, it is this:
Never, ever, never mess with the fry cook.
Just sayin'.

No writer with a brain would use this.
Using this AI puts your copyright in jeopardy.
You are potentially vulnerable to accusations of plagiarism.
And...if you use books to train the AI without permission, you could potentially get sued.

In a group of 100, there's always one of them that thinks you're bluffing, and 2 others that are willing to be his droogies.
So, your best bet is to do your best Bruce Lee impersonation.

"Well acted?"
Yeah, um, no.
It's also poorly written, filled with inconsistencies, and bad dialogue.
It rares with your average low-budget CW production.

So, OK, what you're implying is that - up until now - United purposely excluded women and people of color from their flight academies. Yes?
Because there would be no need to set goals to include people who weren't previously excluded.

Yeah, we can't have heroic characters looking and speaking...heroic. Maybe a 5-minute exposition scene where they sit around in group therapy talking about their lived experiences before they, you know, do something.

"if Jenkins and Wright were truly just after the $3,000, why in the world would they shoot Delacruz twice in the leg and Chambliss once in the calf?"
To keep them from getting inside the house. Duh.
@ylecun
No, there was no misunderstanding.
Do you have a clue how long it takes to write a decent book and the costs involved to publish?
Or how long it takes to go from $2,000.00 a year to a decent income. Most overnight successes are usually a decade in the making.
But it never
@HollywoodInToto
The answer is really simple: if the chick is in the lead, then the assumption is woke and girlbossy.
We're waiting past the "Fool me once, shame on you," bit. Way, way past it.

None of this is surprising, considering what they did to Clarence Thomas when he was confirmed.
I've long known what these people were like, ever since elementary school. [1/2]

I was hospitalized with COVID in February.
I walked in with a temp of 101+. They gave me Remdesivir. In about an hour, my fever was gone.

[2/2] Mainly because if you didn't fit one of the two molds (moulds?) they made for you - docile worker bee or enlightened elitist - you were chaff to be cast into the wind.
Now, they don't even try to hide it anymore.

Ponder that one for a long sec.

Taxing people on profit they could have made, but didn't.
The end goal here is to tax home owners when the value of their home goes up.

@JackPosobiec
Problem is with this interpretation is that it was the Disciples that initially wanted to turn her away. Jesus listened, tested her faith, and when she proved her faith, healed her child.
Testing people's faith is something Jesus did quite often.
Except that scene was, you know, actually in the book.
And the character was actually written that way.
And there are a number of powerful women in Tolkien's lore. It's just that they aren't stripped of their femininity, like in RoP.
This isn't the own you think it is...
@GPrime85
The problem is that this has been tried for decades. It's how we've gotten to this point.
I totally understand your view. But letting kids throw their tantrum and exhaust themselves only works with *some* kids. With others, it only makes them worse. And, to be honest, we

You cannot expect people who reject civility to, all of a sudden, act civil when the narrative suddenly turns on them.
The minutes the winds change, the beast will be back, hungrier than ever.

People who believe that an allegation isn't enough. That there should be a trial and evidence before condemning someone.
That's what passed for an "apologist" these days.

"The obvious conclusion is that authors either don't do it for the money or have unrealistic expectations of sales."
My first book - THE REVENANT AND THE TOMB - was originally offered as a free book. I got a handful of takers, and virtually none of them read it.

@nekrodvna
That is absolute BS.
In tech, employers have been begging for talent to come in and do relatively mundane, but important, stuff. The candidates they get usually hang out for a year, then are off to their next job they negotiated for more money because they want to work with

Content for content's sake is a really dumb reason to like something. It's like eating an image of a pizza in a magazine because you're craving pizza.

On a serious note, Christopher Tolkien CHRONICLED AN ENTIRE HISTORY of his father's writings that the writers at Amazon could have drawn from.

Well...I am grumpy. But this ain't the way.
I was told, when I started this endeavor, that men had walked away from books. They weren't coming back. That I should just accept that, and write "what sells."
And, as per usual, I stubbornly didn't listen to the advice of

Yes. Happiness is slicing off perfectly good body parts and throwing your body chemistry so far out of whack, that you'll probably shave decades off your life.
Gotcha.

Great.
Now remove government services from the GDP, and see how that graph looks.
There's a reason they harp about GDP.
Plus, note the two largest cities have international, warm water ports...
@ScottMGreer
Five young bucks against a fifty-something dude. They pushed him down and hit him. The minute that happens, it goes from harassment to combat.
Which is why manners and being polite are important. Something that seems to be lost as the generations progress.

Twisted tortured cannibalistic creatures of the Dark Lord whose only pleasure is inflicting pain and suffering, and feel actual pain in being good are just misunderstood creatures.
Everything is just, you know, "relative."

The home was small, they had meatloaf and chicken fried steak for dinner every night, the car didn't have bluetooth, they didn't have gas-powered lawn mowers and trimmers, no TV, and virtually NO ONE sent their kids to college.
That's how.

The video never said they got the money. It said the suspects stood in the driveway demanding money.
It's not a huge leap to assume that once the guys demanded money, the couple bolted to the door.
Moreover, if they had the money and shot the people out of some form of

I actually think it's worse than Martin and Rothfuss. I thing the Trad Pub space, in general, have driven away traditional Fantasy readers in the bit to substitute a Romantacy readership.
Those readers have moved to indie, or they've moved on to other things.

This is easy:
1) Major media and institutions that hates them.
2) Parents that don't act like adults
3) The one-sided divorce culture.
3) Boss girls with triple-digit body counts.
4) The easy availability of porn.
5) Every media and cultural icon being "strong whamman."

Whenever I hear Comey sounding brave and insightful, I merely remember that this is the same guy who was SO brave, he had to hide in the curtains to avoid speaking to Trump.

My pastor converted when he was in college.
Even with parkinson's, he still preaches every week. And still remains zealous in his faith.

Yeah, don't blame the actors. It's isn't their job to write the lines.
In fact, don't contact anybody involved with the production.
If you want to make an impact, just don't watch. It's as simple as that.
