During WWI my Great Great grandfather was firing at a different great great grandfather. They even wrote about missing the same guy over and over again. Neither lived to see the reason why when my parents met in university.

War is never what anyone expects it to be.

No no, he did not overlook Hollywood Hubris. He had several people offer and get refusals from him including Walt Disney himself.

Little House on the Prairie. Great acting, but the writers didn't know what to do, so they ended everything on a bad last minute answer. After a while I noticed it over and over again.

Mark it GJM and only mention it in a random forum with a fake account. I doubt the journalists will even understand what happened. Especially if you claim evil white males made a mod and you are trying to stop it. Since it means actually playing the game, the journalists will think they won by your statement.

I would need to pay for Twitter first. I was checking if other image creators did the same.

I just checked, and MidJourney does it great. It also did an Ork and Tyranid having a cute date at a French cafe.

What I've learned from Gen AI is that usually the creators are only good at one thing, and the user has to connect and combine them correctly.

Everyone likes it when Sherlock Holmes does his thing on someone else's or has a flair about his abilities. Telling someone that you know their walking route because they stepped on the red mud at the construction site two blocks over in a single sentence sounds pretentious to them.

But aim it at them, and they get scared. Now have a German accent and facial response. Suddenly everyone thinks you're planning their doom and not Scooby Doo.

A high IQ just means you can fuck up better and more properly. It also means nothing is designed for you. Let's say you're really short, you need a stool to get to the counter and an electric motor to get around. It's reasonable to supply this in everyone's minds. If you're tall, no one cares that the counter is at your knees and the bottom shelf is Narnia. Everyone just tells you to grow up.

That's what it's like to have a High IQ. Everything is designed for someone who can do one or two things and then nothing. If you can do more, they don't know what to do with you. This is not a rise slowly through the system, this is a get a specialized office and make money off of him deal.

The thing is, even being smart requires learning stuff. You can be completely new at something, and everyone expects you to understand it as if you're God.

The scene in Idiocracy where the guy talks about watering plants is accurate. You assume everyone is as smart as you, but they aren't and it leads to weirdness.

On the flip side, almost everything everyone conplains about is usually something that isn't real or will solve itself with enough time. Once you realize this, a happiness kicks in that you wish others could have.

Just referencing their styles. No insult meant. I will admit McCaffery has a rule of cool for girls thing that confused me every time I read stuff.

The difference is Anne McCaffrey vs Robert Jordan. Tolkien sits above them all and wonders what they have done with the music he created.

The interesting part about Hamlet and MacBeth is that it's the same story from a different perspective. They both have otherworldly experiences and seem to be led by fate. By the end they both die, and a new king found. The crux is over who killed the king.

His living ghost writers are probably pissed as well.
