I have never understood how not having children is selfish. How can not forcing life on someone be selfish. Honestly I feel like it is sexist because I always see the sentiment aimed at women.

If your Top 10 Scariest Books Ever is half Stephen King I probably won't care about your recommendations. Stephen King is the Frank's Red Hot of horror. Intense enough for most people but some of us need something with more kick.

The world is full of shit that needs to be boycotted. And as poor people it can be very hard to boycott everything. So I think it's ok to just pick a few things that you feel strongest about to boycott.

I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

In this time of anger and judgment and self-righteous posturing, everyone needs to read this book. My friend Michael Berryman has endured more adversity than anyone I've ever met . . . and he's one of the happiest people I've ever met. It's a privilege to know him.

I do not need a page telling me what a background character is watching and the history of the film if it isn't plot relevant. "As John passed the living room he saw that his roommate was watching some black and white movie" Please stop padding your stories. Length without substance is worthless.

Trump is making all this bullshit up as he goes along. No object permanence whatsoever. Yesterday means nothing. Tomorrow the same. It's about right now, and tomorrow he'll make up something else that's just as imbecilic in a different way. Fucking batshit crazy.
