    No one is perfectly sane. Off the line harming an unsuspecting being merely requires one to act on a thought. Thus, mutual respect is par amount. Otherwise, someone may very well decide to give you a little push to see you tumbling down that mountainside.

    Google Drive deleting text/documents?

    Is there some legal basis to this? I know services may be required to scan for inappropriate pictures and videos due to certain US and European laws. They certainly use AI tools for those purposes; and there are cases of people lawyering up after Google deleted their accounts due to those...

    Continuance of a old story by a new author

    If it were licensed under Creative Commons, it would not be impossible. Unfortunately for @LaFuta the author published it with "all rights reserved". Thus, continuing the story would legally require the author's permission.

    My oldest nephew discovered the TV show "Inside of the World's Toughest Prisons" and we watched an episode together. I will not comment on the prisons, but that reporter is quite something. He purports himself to be a cautious man fearing for his safety. Yet he frequently tries the prisoners'...

    What are your honest thoughts on GL stories?

    I do not read anything tagged "Smut". Nor do I read anything with suspicious tags. Hence, I believe there is but one GL story I ever read. And that would have been the now deleted Isekai Speedrunner by RiaCorvidiva. I thought it was quite decent. No odd sexual scenes in the twenty-odd chapters...

    Demoralizing Reddit reception

    Marketing is more than making one brilliant post that is expertly designed to attract your target audience. If you want a positive reception on Reddit, you need people to set the mood. Be it "internet friends" or women, if you do not have one, pay some. A post where the first reply is negative...

    Some days I awaken and wonder at my good fortune. How unlikely is my birth? That I should be born a human is incredible. Praise be! And good morning.

    Is it true that some authors spend time describing a character eating breakfast or the texture of toast?

    Guilty as charged. I did it both here and back in the day. The one here is tagged as "Slice of Life". Describing food and everyday situations such as breakfast is a significant part of the genre. The other time was in a very... avant-garde (?) short story I wrote for a short-lived...

    I confess, despite the glaring typos and errors, I enjoy reading my own chapters. Then I swear I will fix those typos the next time I get to editing. Only to neglect doing so. Classic foolishness. I enjoy reading my own chapters much more than I enjoy writing them. I prefer writing poetry...

    It's been two years already, mates. It's been two years since I started posting my ramblings here. Cheers! Here's to being alive. And another drink to punish myself for still being a cheap old drunk.

    Handiwork is perfect for idling away the lonesome hours. As the saying goes, engage in whittling where there is wood, weaving where long and sturdy grasses grow, and fishing where there is water. Whittling is my personal favorite. One can never have too many whistles. Invest in one good knife...
