I still can't believe these actually retarded people can make or break an author's career.

They’ve got a bit of a point here actually. Most of the YA stuff is written first person present tense because the writers are absolutely shite, and the mechanism of getting the book out is very much ‘insert self here’. So you can fairly safely skip one of these shite books if it starts off in first person present tense most of the time.

Over an executive order that only applies going forward getting struck down because it contradicts all previous American law and specifically an amendment that has been law for a century and a half already.

That would be feeding the benji

I think if you looked at the total number of books written third person pov or past tense it’s fallen dramatically compared to first person passive present. Women seem to be writing that way most of the time now in genre fiction.

Thought this was parody but they're serious

Sure. They are trans so therefore we must see their nasty disgusting dick!! Might as well walk around like that too. They are trans after all.

ok. im gonna give you the benefit of the doubt on this, but don't be surprised/offended if people don't particularly appreciate this post

alters with starkly opposite views like that generally are from trauma - internalization of beliefs held by your abusers. so, an alter who is racist may be that way because your abusers were, and those beliefs were hammered into you, or you were punished if you didn't echo those beliefs. were you raised in an environment that held those sorts of extremist beliefs? is it possible that this alter is reenacting abuse and thinking that if they believe these things, they won't be punished?

unless you as a whole are a nazi, then that alter isn't actually a nazi. they just hold those beliefs usually as a protective measure

If any of my made up personalities ever says anything bad, it's actually all someone else's fault.

I was raised in a conservative household, but not extremely. I think it stems from being groomed online by a group of nazis that forced me to hold their belief and holding blackmail on 11 year old me.

I love twitter ads. 

Paywall and locked replies.  

Can't find out what of Wu's dumbass things they retweeted or if they asked Twitter if Elon would fund the lawsuit as he promised.

That last tweet is TECHNICALLY wrong, typically headlines are applied to stories after they've been written, edited and approved often without the editors let alone the writers getting notified or any say. I think this is an obviously stupid practice but it stems from journalistic history where the paper was literally laid out physically with prewritten pieces and the headlines decided at that point for best attention drawing. At most papers in the modern age, these decisions are all the same people, a separate headline staff is blatantly redundant and continues in this role for legacy reasons. I would suspect they likely just glanced at the title while approving the final layout on a computer, it looked "long enough" so they didn't notice the wrong word.

One reason the people on Twitter/Era/etc. who get their news almost entirely from headlines and never read the actual articles to the end are often so woefully uninformed. The purpose of headlines is to get you interested, not to inform you of anything.

There's a real strong US culture dominance when it comes to progressives outside the USA. Basically they get all their ideas from American discourse and then apply it to their own country without much thinking, you see it in Europe too like when they talk about "decolonizing Berlin" or that one lady talking about how we "need to get over the idea that Ireland belongs to the Irish". A miracle they're not doing land acknowledgments yet.

Articles are usually submitted with a suggested headline but it's up to editors to decide what goes on there. 

What's most concerning about this mistake is that, as far as I can tell, the writer used the acronym NATO without ever spelling it out in the text in the first instance. While I haven't looked at the NYT style guide, it's likely that any acronym should be written in full in the first instance with the acronym in parentheses and then used thereafter.

The style guide is the Bible for any publication. If their writers aren't following it and their editors don't know it by heart then they've got bigger problems.
