We all agree, right?

  • AI to write your novel is wrong
  • A bargain with a demon to write your novel is okay

As long as you’re bargaining with the demon for the ability to easily write your novel yourself, yes.

If you get the demon to write it, no.

There's a joke here about the ethics of ghost writing but I can't quite make it out.

Do you think people used to have ADHD Text Reply Anxiety back in the day. Do you think there was some girl in the 1870s going "Oh, a letter from Esther, how delightful! I must make time to write her a reply this evening!" And then later she was like "It has been 5 months since Esther wrote me, and I am yet to reply. I fear I have tarried far too long, and if she receives a letter from me now it will seem terribly rude and she will want nothing to do with me. And yet, it is ruder still to not write her at all! I fear I am the only one to blame for my current predicament, as I am most terribly forgetful. Ah, but what a fool I am! I shall pray this evening for guidance from the Lord"

I once took a whole-ass college course that was focused on literature in letter form (European epistolary) and we kicked off our reading assignments in the 1700s and I can verify that yes, you are correct.

Oh my god my mom read me a quote from ben franklin the other day that was like "sorry i put off replying to your letter for two months. the vibes were gross"

I would like to extend my apologies to any penfriends I had in the 1980s and 1990s who are reading this, for (a) Not replying to your letters (b) How old this post makes you feel.

Here’s my take on the whole audio books vs. reading:

Oral tradition of storytelling predates written ones by millennias, and honestly, which one you like is just a personal preference.

The actual difference is

  • when listening, you have no idea how to write characters’ names
  • when reading, you have no idea how to pronounce characters’ names

hope this helps!

My favourite way to get hold of molten lava is to take a previously collected lava, powder it, and melt it in a platinum crucible to create a nice shot-sized tasting sample. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, my access to the lab has been revoked.

Hey guys... I met my wife through NaNoWriMo, I am as attached to the concept as a person could be, but if we're going to recreate it... I'm begging you to not put it in November. November is possibly the worst month for it if you live in the US. In school? You're probably studying for finals toward the end of that month. Adult? Some part of your family is going to want you to come visit them, which is a whole thing if you have to travel to see them.

We can break free of this. We can have a whole new novel writing month. I'm begging you. Even as someone whose life partner came to me through NaNoWriMo. Do not put this fucking month in November.

So I've never done Nanowrimo but I feel like I still have an important contribution to make here: What you all need is a new catchy title. May I suggest: GloMarWriMo, for Global March Writing Month.

I have not thought about whether this might conflict with other important events (asides from March Eridan, whose popularity has waned) but have thought about what my cool Star Wars OC Glomar Wrimo would look like, which is what really matters.

"I have a retainer and a night guard" is something that a 17th century daimyo would say, but a trip to the dentist can leave you uttering the same sentiment...another testament to the kuge(公家)-like existence of jobs that supply dental plans....

My T-shirt with the entire text of Borges' theoretical Library of Babel is raising a lot of questions already answered by the shirt, somewhere.

this javascript tutorial is off to one hell of a start by quoting the left hand of darkness

@synthient from eloquent javascript. "if you can't wrap your brain around it, go take a nap" is honestly solid advice both when it comes to learning a programming language and when it comes to deadly court scheming with estraven

It is up to you to make the necessary effort. When you are struggling to follow the book, do not jump to any conclusions about your own capabilities. You are fine-you just need to keep at it. Take a break, reread some material, and make sure you read and understand the example programs and exercises. Learning is hard work, but everything you learn is yours and will make further learning easier. "When action grows unprofitable, gather information; when information grows unprofitable, sleep." — Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness
