I think a lot of people misread intent. No one is policing your conversations in your living room, but if you're an author (of any medium of art) your work necessarily interfaces with an audience (arguably you can create art without anyone else ever seeing it, let's take that as read) — if you're attempting to communicate with an audience its naive to think they won't have opinions on it, or that it can't be improved.

I like to imagine if you said this to James Joyce, or Georges Perec, Marcel Proust, William Shakespeare, Truman Capote, Samuel Beckett (or other authors known for being exacting) ... They could get pissy about it sure, but they could also say "What an excellent point, I could be way more specific, accurate and poetic in my prose."

While you are absolutely entitled to your opinion, do you not think it's a fruitful line of enquiry in terms of literary criticism and dramaturgy, similar to how using "nice" as every adjective is considered unimaginative?

Kleinfelter? But I barely know 'er/'im/'em

male dance kid here - ballroom or other partner dance is actually a good start for the quite young as it's more about footwork and you have a partner to help guide you.

I moved into jazz/modern around 8-10 years old.

considering heaven is often described as everyone praising God repeatedly without break for eternity, probably not that far off

on my old drive to work there used to be a horse that belonged to the Traveller community (rural england) with a fucking massive dong it used to wave at all the traffic 🥲

they do clearly separate their reporting and commentary though, they always indicate on page in print and online that it is a comment not a report (literally the first word on this page is "Opinion")

I think the secrets in Hearthstone are all server-side and took a while to unlock, but for that you have to be Always Online, which some people hate

In the modern day, yes, but its possible the Trues were raised under the influence of people who grew up under calling card etiquette where there are a lot of rules about what to do.

This is twitter advice, but I assume it works.

I had about 10k followers and about 100 likes per tweet in my heyday - but had pretty much left about a year before elon took over, and fully left when he did.

It was a lot of work with little reward, but it was fun.

• Post actually engaging content for your niche on a regular schedule, preferably more often than twice a day
• you can maybe stretch to two niches on an account but likely you just want one
• engage primarily with people in that niche
• get to know them, build an online friendship
• get into group dms or chats with multiple people in the same niche
• nepotistically retweet each others stuff, publically respond favorably to it
• unless you have a really interesting life, keep your real life out of it and focus on your niche
• expect this process to be a committed 12 month process - so that's at least 1000 posts, all should be high quality enough to warrant engagement.

I'd argue being an Olympian, which requires relying on a mix of public funding, ones own resources (usually family or sponsors), and gives an international platform, media coverage and potential prominence is a privilege given quid pro quo for behavior befitting that privilege.

Post-rehabilitation and having served one's time - There's no reason this person couldn't practice their sport in private, there's no reason this person couldn't be a private citizen with a regular office job.

However, I'm sure you could agree that they shouldn't ever be allowed to work with children again, so there must be a line of compromise you agree with.

I'd also argue that knowing that one's mistakes - although paid for - may have lifetime consequences - are also part of the rehab process. Like how alcoholics can never have one drink again.
