and I have been this way for decades 🙃
my body is a machine that turns simple tasks into complex multilayered assignments that take me 10 days minimum to complete but that I put off doing until 11PM on the night before it's due

Hi we're abstaining because it sucks ass, hope that helps
AI sits in billions of phones. Refusing to engage won't stop it, just leaves vulnerable people without knowledge. Demand ownership and control, not abstinence.
Abstinence From AI Is Not the Answer
Opinion | Refusing to use AI won’t protect society. Responsible resistance must include gaining knowledge about it.

I name my mains right away bc their names are part of their character development!
But background characters get goofy placeholder names like MR BLAH and LORD PAMPLEMOUSSE so I don’t slow down my scene flow trying to name some single-scene rando

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
Writing technical question!
Do you name your characters right away or do you use placeholder names?
Are the placeholders descriptive or just filler names you'll change?
Has a placeholder ever grown on you?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

You can extinguish tear gas canisters!
Wearing gloves, submerge the canister in a wide-mouthed water jug containing baking soda, dish soap, and/or vegetable oil—3 tablespoons of each per liter of water.
Cover the top with one hand, just enough to keep the gas from getting out, and shake the jug.
