My local city has a for-pay gym, but it's SO much cheaper than the other local offerings that it might as well be free. We have 3 people on the plan for ~$60/month, which also includes other city pools and even a batting cage. Love my city!

I kinda want to try these. They sound like cool cats.

It's a digital Dunning-Kreuger effect!

I am not a baseball fan, but I looked up TOOTBLAN and I love it!

They probably don't expect to get paid. This is a Trump show.

Thank you for reminding me about left shark. 🤣

I came here to say this. Also, if I had to use ChatGPT to write it, there is no way in heck I can maintain it.

I do write them for fun and also to save time doing search and replace. Good times.

Only Watto would sing happy birthday to this president.

The point of a story is to connect with your audience, to make them feel something new, to explain some idea, or just evoke a particular vibe. By hewing so close to reality an author forecloses the possibilities of the fantastic.

Also, my life is too real as it is. I don't want to read about it.

There certainly seems to be a bit of snobbery about genre fiction. This is likely due to its pulp roots, as through nothing which is popular or made for kids can be "proper literature".

I do find it funny that many golden age sci-fi writers made a ton of literary allusions in their story titles.

I've always found that sci-fi stories are about our own time, just set in the future. Stories which confine themselves to the possible seem so limited.

I was burned on "literary" writing in high school. It all seemed so dull and distant. The running gag is that literature is about college professors having an affair with a student, doesn't entice.

I've been a huge sci-fi fan since the 3rd grade, though. The prose quality varies widely.

I always forget that turkeys can fly, then I see them in trees or on the top of a fence. On the whole, it seems very improbable.

207 - I tend to use them as soon as I have them, although I think I'm going to be fully decorated soon, so I won't have much use for them until there are new decorations.

Can you please help me parse your title "Warned You Also Have A Kobold", because it is currently breaking my brain. Is it missing some critical comma? Are practicing memetic warfare via BlueSky?

I agree with you that part of a story's appeal is the underlying connection. I am skeptical that an artificially produced story can ever produce the same emotional response...

I find that I have a hard time connecting to games that are procedurally generated. There is just no there there. I find that I like the intentionality of game design. I don't even really like Choose Your Own Adventure books, for similar reasons.

I have only been following you since I came to BlueSky, so I've never seen much of your older work. Share on! Love it! ♥️♥️♥️

All I see is report after report about how the move to AI was ineffectual and expensive. Programmers who use it make more errors, customers hate it in customer service, and it can't do simple math. Not sure that it's going to do much better in art.

I'm sure it will be used, just not a replacement.

People who want to get rid of the NLRB forget that the alternative was guns and bombs. Those who forget history...
