  • The best advice I have is to practice writing proper prose in a stream of consciousness style. Try to not edit other than with the delete button on what you just wrote. At least, that’s how I got to my kind of eloquence.

    You know how people advise you to read you writing aloud to hear how it sounds? Phrasing, readability, etc. I think the skill I have that helps the most is being able to write cogent and speakable language from a stream of consciousness. Try typing exactly how you speak, errors, accents and local expressions all included. It’s a skill, yeah. Turning your vocalized speech into internal speech into written language; you get to the point where you can produce written language that sounds like someone speaking naturally.

    As for flow and getting a point across? Studying prose helps. Simple things like “shorter sentences make a punchier phrase” or whatever help. Having a written style helps also. I’m not exactly sure if any of this helps, but thank you for complimenting my eloquence. I’ve never felt particularly eloquent - but I do speak my mind and only my mind. Popular opinion and groupthink are for unoriginal people. Sure, you can hold a popular opinion, but you’ve also got to have a reason for it that you can express.







  • I’m an anti-electorialist but I still vote.

    National races and US congress votes are like pissing into the ocean, it doesn’t do shit. I vote in local elections to keep assholes from running my city. Do I think it changes anything? Probably not, but I just sort of vote in local elections for my disenfranchised comrades who can’t


  • I think saying “yo this is actually good but the author is a pedo” is basically the same as admiring Mein Kampf while arguing the death of the author is important

    Basically what I mean is Made in Abyss IS BAD and I don’t like people heaping praise on it. The author is a pedophile. The story, characters, and plenty of scenes in it are softcore (or maybe not even softcore, I haven’t read it for obvious reasons) child porn. Sadistic child porn too. I can poke a million holes in Made in Abyss, but what’s the point?

    I think it’s worth it to put in a P.S.S. there now that Des nut basically said “sorry I got caught”

    Like seriously this dude is a massive piece of shit, not because he’s a Marxist-Leninist or a tankie or whatever; he’s a transphobe. I hold him in the same regard as I hold Elon Musk at this point because the only real difference is I’m pretty sure Des nut doesn’t have a trans daughter.



  • I think using 3d printing as a way of learning CAD is great! Definitely a great learning tool for kids and students and such and also adults

    I think I just view people who print other people’s designs for silly reasons in the same way that I view GenAI prompters who call themselves artists unironically. Like, my guy, you just pressed enter and something else did all the work. Use it as a tool to extend your creativity if you want, not as a substitute! You’re not a bad person if you use it as a substitute, it’s just confusing to me and seems like a waste of time and resources

    But then again, I’m basically just saying “stop having fun” so I don’t really think it’s that much of an issue
