Scott Adams did a post/article a while back where he got absolutely fed up and basically said white people can't live and/or be safe around black people.

Cue the pearl clutching and outrage.

So, yeah, it's basically random shitposting and trolling by this point.

I didn't say it was easy, mind.

Being a writer, sadly, is a passion project. You've got to love what you do. Novelists that make money off of it to the point they do nothing but are rare.

As for physical copies, print-on-demand is a thing. It's the one thing Amazon does really, really well.

You can't really play their game, so you have to flip the table.

"When the woman's prize for fiction was launched in 1996, it was badly needed; back then, female writers found it hard to get thier work published."

Even when it's trying to tackle an issue hurting men, they can't help but fall over themselves trying to simp for women.

To put it bluntly: Bullshit.

The idea of women underrepresentation in literature has never passed the smell test with me. Perhaps it's my bias and interest, but whenever that certain strain of feminists go all in about 'male dominance in literature', I look over at my bookshelf and see a wide spread of female authors, some of them very, very good, creating fond childhood memories, and having been around for a very, very long time. As far back as the 1970s you see some female giants in science fiction and fantasy - Marion Zimmer Bradley(pedophile rapist enabler that she was - oops! Whoopsie!), Anne McCaffery, CS Friedman, Lois McMaster Bujold - getting outside of those genres, Margaret Atwood, darling dujour of the left, has been writing novels since that time.

There's always been an undercurrent - a smell, if you will - that women have an expectation because of their halo effect to automatically receive accolades and accomplishments at whatever it is they do. But the written word doesn't discriminate, and all of a sudden said halo effect is utterly worthless, and they actually have to put in the effort and skill to be good at something rather than just show up and look cute.

The female takeover in publishing is driving by their self-indulgent victimization fetish - political activism writ large that completely ignores the reality on the ground that now gives them a private sandbox to do whatever it is they wish, supported blindly by simps and white knight male feminists.

This isn't even tackling the massive, monstrous elephant in the room; women-focused romance novels, which take up easily over 50% of the fiction landscape in terms of production and scales. Yes - female porn novels vastly outweigh EVERY OTHER GENRE in terms of dominance and money. It isn't even a contest.

As for a solution? For all it's ills, modern society has made self-publishing stupidly easy - who cares about who controls said publishing giants, when people are getting their fanfics put to print for actual money? Bypass the people who hate you, and go straight to the people who want to give you thier money in exchange for what you want to write.

You know, the democrat party getting stung by the scorpions in their own tent really wasn't on my bingo card for this year.

Assuming this is real, of course.

If it is, I'll be laughing my fool head off.

You get what you fucking deserve, as they say...

If there is one thing that past several years have taught me, is to severely question everything people have accepted as historical 'facts'.

When you see active re-writing, gaslighting, and memory-holing of a narrative in real time, nothing is off the table.

I love all these masks-off moments. It's a perfect reminder of how much these type of people hate people like us.

I have to wonder if the various DNC leaders and/or democrat voters are having serious buyers remorse over Biden by this point.

I don't think they're that self aware, but still...

They never will. Preventing voter fraud is the one thing that the Democrats refuse to even think about bringing to the table. Any attempt is strangled in the crib with the eternal cry of 'DAS WAYCISTS', because they benefit from it so much.

Consider this; democrats constantly play around with immigration(which they massively benefit from), doing the entire 'partisanship' bull that they love to cry about when they're loosing, only to sink the bill before arrival by making it utterly horrific for Republicans to even consider supporting. Then they turn around and go 'See, see, Republicans REALLY don't care about immigration, we offered up a PARTISIANSHIP bill and they refused tee hee' when anyone who actually sits down and reads it knows it's a horrific pile of garbage and a shit deal to boot.

They never, EVER do this with voter ID and the like.

You can draw your own conclusions, but I know where my opinion is on the matter.

Holy fuck, the memories.

I played a weird red/green/colorless fast mana deck with a bunch of alternative mana sources, and I was the only one able to do anything when one of my friends busted out his mono-blue control deck. It was hilarious.

If I had to venture a guess, it's probably verisimilitude. Having retro-style graphics means that your brain fills in alot of gaps and sets low expectations, while a more 'modern' game with it's hyper-realistic fashion allows you to see the invisible walls much more easily.

Simply put, if a game mirrors reality in extreme detail yet doesn't allow you to do everything reality allows, you start to see the pixels wether you want to or no.

To use an odd example, it's probably one of the reasons The Long Dark, a walking survival simulator, has remained popular to this day despite being over ten years old - it's odd water-color graphic design allows for alot of forgiveness for something that tends to be very 'hard' in terms of realism in alot of ways while failing horribly in others.

Equal rights, equal lefts, bitch.

You don't get to pick and choose. Either you're a child and get treated as such in every way, shape, or form, or you're a functioning adult and you have to act like it. So shut up and man up, or get the fuck back in the kitchen.

The also did the same with 'The Island with Bear Grylls', and the results were arguably even worse.

The women basically squabbled amongst themselves, refused to set up any type of command structure, demonstrated a hilarious lack of direction by walking in circles(twice), put their clean water supply in danger, turned their one 'gimmie' food source(piglets) into pets they wasted resources on feeding - it got bad enough there was a serious risks of having to pull them off the island or else they would have had long term damage and/or die.

There was atleast one woman who did have survival skills that tried to get people to do what was necessary, but everyone refused, effectively calling her 'too bossy'.

There's alot of lessons to take away from it, and some of them lead to very dark places.

My tastes are pretty broad, but I've been stuck on listening The Midnight while driving as of late, if I've a mind for actual music.

It's basically part of the New Retro Wave - bands that are basically going straight 80s style, albeit with a slight modern twist.

It's also not new. So I wouldn't be surprised if they just ripped it off wholesale without giving credit.

If you want a very odd look a Vampires, you can go read Peter Watt's Blindsight. As much as I'd probably punch Watts in the face if I ever met him IRL, I do enjoy Blindsight, even if his other stuff is hit or miss.

Which is one of the reasons I have difficulty mustering any sympathy for them.

ftm trannies are women. Period. You know why? Because they look at men's experience, only notice the top 10% of men, think that condition is universal, and immediately think 'I want that'.

Like every other woman out there, men below a 7 are Not People. They paint this delusional image in their head about what men experience and how being a man is, and when they impact into reality, they suddenly turn all contrite and whining and begging. Just like a woman.

You can't beat biology.

All of a sudden, the leftist shills on Reddit are stupidly obsessed over what the military thinks.

What should be done to those traitorous fucks in the military given how they straight-up lied to Trump and blatantly admitted they'd collude with China if things developed seriously would probably violate a rule or three.

They hint at it at one point(and all the fridge horror that implies) by listening in to a conversation between a human, turian, and salarian(in ME2, I think?), but it's never explicitly stated.

Tribal and ethnic nepotism. I probably sound like a broken record by this point, but so many people are ignorant of this.

It's the only downside(?) of living in a mono-ethnic society. You can get exposed to it in America(and probably elsewhere) in the oddest of locations, but it's not exactly common.

Because tribal and ethnic nepotism has been beaten out of White people as a whole.

Every other ethnicity has no issue abusing the system in full and telling everyone else to get fucked. If Whites did similar, they'd be shamed, attacked, and ostracized by lawfare. And they know this. They may not be able to articulate it, or even want to acknowledge it, but they know.

And they wonder why people hate them.

A perfect demonstration of hoe math in action.

The simple answer is that what he's saying isn't complete nonsense.

By this point I'm more than willing to say Sandy Hook was a federal false flag, simply on the way the feds consistently loose their shit over anyone who says that.

I mean, what do you expect when you hire a prostitute?

For a very hilarious modern example of this, everyone can go watch the 'Man vs Women' season of The Island with Bear Gryllis.

They've done studies on this; it's pretty well known that officers will wait the longest before shooting when they're dealing with someone who's black.

Pretty obvious why; they know damn well what sort of fallout will happen because of it.
