I'm glad fiction is doing it for me again lately. Escaping the endless tire fire that is reality is.. needed sometimes.

The intent would be knowledge sharing and community.

A lot of people doing different forms of tech for marathons and other events are very scattered currently.

Tech people in speedrunning (coders, sys admins, networking folks, etc..):

Would any of you be interested in a discord primarily dedicated to this topic?

There doesn't seem to be a good place for this type of discussion, outside of private channels that are mostly intended for stream tech.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive GLOBAL study revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths WORLDWIDE between 2020 and 2024.

It reveals that vaccinations didn’t JUST protect against illness.

They PRESERVED nearly 15 MILLION years of human life.

it's so deranged how rich business owners have demanded for decades that they be called "job creators" despite the fact that every single person i know has experienced a rich guy buying out an existing business and firing everyone and usually completely bankrupting it before cashing out and leaving

Next week will be the final game for the month of FOSS games.

Any guesses what the final (for now) game is?

These people seem to constantly conveniently forget that Sanderson is the reason that the deal for authors at audible and Spotify improved; after a very long time of things getting worse.

What other mega author was willing to make that type of stand to improve pay for independent authors?

Is what it is, but if your whole complaint of him is "is popular" or "goes to church" I'm not going to take you very seriously.

If you can point at where this actually changed the writing to be a problem, that would be an interesting conversation.

That would require actually reading though.

Just looks like your average hate bandwagoning.

"Popular thing is bad, I mean I haven't read it, but I know it's awful."

People will jump on any opportunity to crap on popular authors and it just looks so pathetic.

Sure, go after the rowlings and such who use their money to harm others.

But going after Sanderson because... He goes to church and even though you haven't read his books you're certain that ruins them.
