It’s Hard to Have an Intelligent Conversation These Days!

April 30th, 2022

This is an ongoing problem that I’ve noticed before but today, I saw it in action once again. Over on a forum, we’ve been discussing the upcoming Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, now that the trailer has been released and a lot of us are very skeptical. The trailer looks okay, not amazing but very reminiscent of the older shows, for a reason. The Star Trek series are all hemorrhaging money and viewers. So we have good reason to doubt that this will be any different.

So then this happens…

You Just Can’t Win Part… Whatever

April 25th, 2022

I was having a talk with a moderator of one of the writing forums I’m on and part of this was a laugh but mostly, it was just sad. This is just more evidence that these people are really, really pathetic. Not the mod, we’re friends, but the rank amateurs who care more about their feelings than they do about reality.

So let’s talk about it.

Hard Truths for Lazy People

April 22nd, 2022

So, someone posted this on a writing forum and while I did respond there about some of the aspects brought up, some of it I thought would be best served responding here because a lot of these places get mad when you start to talk about reality unfiltered.

I hope it helps because it’s really sad how many people can’t comprehend the real world.

Couldn’t Ask for a Better Example

April 3rd, 2022

I have complained on numerous occasions about the ridiculous things that I see constantly on writing forums. It’s just not that often that I see a perfect example of why I have a problem with it.

Until now. Read on to see just how absurd some people can be and why I desperately want to get away from it.

You Shouldn’t Have a Pet When…

April 2nd, 2022

This is something I unfortunately see a lot of late, people who want pets but they are quibbling over the most insignificant things as a means to save money.

Sorry, pets, like children, are potentially very expensive propositions and if you can’t afford the most simple things, you absolutely cannot afford the potential high costs that come with responsible pet ownership.
