I think it's dumb when cultivation systems for humans and non-humans are completely different without any justification. Like, why would snakes just keep getting bigger each time they got stronger, while humans stay the same size? Our bodies are basically the same, but humans, out zillions of...

He showed up in videos on some channels I watched a long time ago like shmoyoho's Love is Like Drugs. That's about all I know about the guy.

Veganism is an ethical position. It's not anti-gluten. Unfortunately, there's a lot of overlap between the vegan community, the plant-based diet community, and the woo community, so a lot of dumb vegan-adjacent bullshit like the 30 bananas a day diet or whatever ends up getting labeled vegan...

Vegans are against animal cruelty, not against food that tastes a certain way. Almost all vegans grew up non-vegan and got used to certain types of food. They still want to keep eating them after going vegan, just without unnecessary death and suffering. As for how good fake meat is, what I've...

That site looked interesting, but their monetization practices are atrocious. Their editor underlines areas that need changes, but when I mouse over the underlined section, I can't see what's wrong unless I'm a premium member. Since that obviously makes the site unusable, I went into the...

I recently started using Microsoft Copilot to proofread my chapters. All I'm using it as is an extra pair of eyes to check for careless errors that my brain somehow skipped over when I proofread, like "he" instead of "him," a missing "a," and similar things. Copilot works okay (it caught six...

About a year ago, I had an amazing idea for a novel. The only way for it to actually exist was for me to write it, so I started writing. I spent weeks creating a massive, very detailed outline, but when I started writing the first chapter, I realized that my writing was far too terrible to do...

You would be losing a huge chunk of an already small audience if you wrote in script format. It's as bad as writing in second person. I consider both of those to be unreadable, and I'm definitely not alone in that. That said, I'd still recommend writing in your preferred style. Even if you're...

If this already exists, I can't find it. When I upload new chapters, I have to manually schedule each one for the correct time. Sometimes (like today), I forget to do that, so the chapter gets uploaded at the wrong time. The chapter getting uploaded early isn't a huge deal, but I'd still like...

Day 5: Goal more or less achieved! Today, I'm just grateful for soft beds.

Samurai Jack There were other shows I liked more, but Samurai Jack was so totally different and stylish that it was in its own category. I still absolutely love the sound design, art style, and pacing of the show. Plus, it's crazy how well it aged. The show's just as amazing today as it was...

This is super late due to all sorts of terrible shit nobody cares about, but I'm going to pretend the last month and a half didn't happen, so... Day 4!: Goal achieved! I should have the novel I'm translating fully re-edited by the deadline I gave myself (Feb. 1), and new chapters will finally...

About 1800. All of my webnovel time has been spent editing lately, so it felt really good to finally write again.

Day 3: Nope. 1/10 of my daily goal was achieved, but I'll try to stay up late and finish at least some of the rest. I found out that my increasingly frequent computer freezes, crashes, and slowdowns are due to my main SSD rapidly dying, which led me down a computer upgrading rabbit hole all...

Day 2: (Very) Partially completed my goal. I'll be up until 3 AM doing the rest, probably. I'm grateful for TextCrawler 3, which makes my editing process countless times faster and easier. I struggled with Reddit, Youtube, and a video game, as is tradition.
