A lot of people worldbuild when they daydream and have the bones of a story kicking around in their brain, but have to pay the bills and raise the kids etc so they never flesh it out and write it down. What's your story's premise? Fantasy, sci-fi, alternate history, mystery, western, whatever genre.
We're last minute people, maybe a week in advance without air travel, a month with. A family friend just invited us to join them on a vacation NOVEMBER 2025. That seems bonkers to me!...
I cannot share specific numbers, but I can say that we had an internal metric we were aiming for that had been approved, and that we exceeded that number by a significant portion. We also got a thumbs up a few weeks before launch.
Scribd has some pdfs I want to download but they charge 15 dollars a month to be able to download stuff and require you to view an ad for every few pages you read using the in-site viewer. Does anyone know a way to get past this and just download or read it without the subscription or ads?
Amazon Prime, like many services, is a DRM hell. It won't go to over 480p on Firefox on Linux at my end. However, instead of a rant, I am interested in why this is happening. Say, I rented the same film from YouTube Movies(Yes, such a service exists) and the quality can toggle all the upto 1080p but the same title on Prime Video...
Is there? It's a star wars hotel. I've read comprehensive scientific papers about years if proving hypothesis that could be finished in an hour. Why would a video about a bing boing Star Wars hotel need 4 times that lmao.
This video is literally an essay, your comparisons are nonsense. She reiterates the same points over and over again. There's no reason this needs to be 4 hours. You and your strawmen can fuck off. Sarcastic little simp.
Both are essays. The comparison is valid. Stop simping because a 4 hour video about a star wars hotel could be shorter. You're so mad it's quite embarrassing.
I'm literally only saying it could be shorter lmao. You enjoy what you enjoy dude. Does everyone constantly need to validate what you enjoy in life? Your extreme insecurity does explain your little tantrum though.
Your sentence doesn't make any sense. You can enjoy it all you want, I just think it's too long. That bothers you so much because you're probably an insecure manchild that craves validation. You can be mad all you want and stomp your little feet, but people have different opinions sometimes. Cope and seethe.

Probably violent and explicit writing prompts. A LLM wouldn't be able to write ASOIAF for example. That's pretty weird considering the cultural impact it had and still has.
