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.
Are you being sarcastic or genuine?
/cj A new generation… like Kamala Harris!
/uj America is neither a democracy nor will voting change anything
B-but, our sign-holding demonstrations! We called them Fascists so many times! We disavow violence in politics!! /cj (circlejerk, a parody)
/uj The state has a monopoly on violence, we gotta take that monopoly and smash it
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?
QWERTY x Elliot’s mom gonna get it on
Way ahead of you
“/uj” means unjerk, or “I am saying the following in a non-satirical, genuine fashion”
“/rj” means rejerk, or “I am saying the following as a satirical parody of the person the circlejerk is based on” which in this case is liberals
/uj Stop building coalitions with Nazis just because they don’t like the particular Nazi who is in charge right now
/rj They may have advocated for trans sports bans, gentrification of majority black neighborhoods, weakening unions and empowering landlords, but look at how well they’re doing holding signs with us at our permitted protest on a weekend! They’re true progressives now!
Hardware support should be encouraged? Or just people posting their hardware?
Personally I think it’s better if WWW moves beyond HTTP as a protocol
#1 popup and tracker enjoyer over here
Oh yeah I didnt even read his name my bad
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’m nota stranger to holding wildly unpopular opinions. I’m an egoist, it’s in my nature. Personally, I think genAI is dumb. Harassing and abusing people for liking something is unacceptable behavior, though. I’ve been noticing most of my comments have been vote brigaded recently, especially my comment shitting on Dessalines.
I vote yea.
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
The difference between Israeli violence against Palestinians and Palestinian violence against Israelis is that Israel colonized Palestine.
I’m tired of liberals both-sidesing this bullshit, not only on the internet as a whole but on fucking !Palestine@lemmy.ml? YDI.
