Pronell , to Ask Lemmy in People who started learning a second language, how has it made you aware how broken English is ?

And what's the word in German that means everything you just wrote?

Pronell , to Movie Suggestions in Aavesham (2024) ⭐ 8.0 | Comedy, Action, Musical, Drama

Yeah, I can't say why others downvoted you but one was mine and it's removed now!

You gave us nothing about the movie, why you're suggesting it, or why we should watch it.

Pronell , to Ask Lemmy in What was your most embarrassing moment?

I've done a lot of self-forgiveness in recent years, so a lot of the simpler and sillier ones I don't think of as embarrassing anymore.

Could be the time I flipped a guy off after he cut me off and I missed a light. He saw me in his mirror and started freaking out and swerving, almost hit a curb.

I didn't mean to ruin his day. Just letting off steam.

Either that or the time I drove on the shoulder to avoid a car stopped in the middle of the road. When I merged back she had started to move and we collided. Totally my fault.

I only realized later that due to her age, location, and stickers on her car from a nearby Catholic University that I'd probably hit a nun.

Pronell , to Writer's lounge in How can I write SA without writing SA?

You can not tell the reader what happened but instead show a character's reaction to it. Let the reader fill in the details you suggested but did not explicitly write.

You can also 'cut to black' in a dangerous situation, again asking the reader to fill in the blanks. If/when they see the character later, what's important is that they survived and escaped, and again the details you offer help the reader fill in the ones you didn't.

Third technique is to have characters dispassionately discussing what is to or already has occurred and show that they are unconcerned with the dirtier aspects of the war or culture in question. Now the brutalities you've suggested are both anticipated and accepted by certain powers.

I've had similar problems writing for my d&d campaign. I want dark forces, but I also want a place of justice that is in danger. Something for the players to defend.

And I've never had to turn to SA. Yes, it happens in the world but I'm not going to turn to it for shock value.

Once I got dark enough to write about what a hag did to be 'gifted' a mortal child, and it was incredibly effective to be so gory and explicit after being vague about so much prior.

Holding back the details can be frustrating, but then making the reader swim in them after all the hints is a good payoff. And if done well you still aren't writing the assault itself but the preparation and aftermath, which is still bone chilling enough.

(In my game one of the characters was the hag's son, which he had only recently learned. The payoff for him was learning exactly how he was conceived.)

Pronell , to News in Bowel disease breakthrough as researchers make ‘holy grail’ discovery

Big fucking news for the IBS/D crowd, and I'm one of em.

Pronell , to Futurology in Humans May Be Able to Grow New Teeth Within Just 6 Years

Toothlessness does not mean a lost tooth. But if I'm wrong, I'd be glad to be wrong.

Pronell , to Futurology in Humans May Be Able to Grow New Teeth Within Just 6 Years

Last time this came up it was a treatment for people who had genetic issues growing teeth in the first place.

This isn't for replacing teeth that were lost in adulthood.

Pronell , to cats in Better than toys

I know, I was just making a joke. I like my animals being a little wild, but that's how I train mine. I like when they climb onto my shoulders.

Pronell , to cats in Better than toys

Where's the fun in that?!

Pronell , to CreepyWikipedia in Katherine Knight: An Australian woman who, in 2000, murdered, skinned, dismembered and cooked her husband, and attempted to feed him to his adult sons

Aw, leftovers again?

Pronell , to politics in Biden Veto Angers Crypto Industry as It Floods 2024 Election With Cash

Amusingly, the phrase Crypto Fascist does and does not apply here.

Pronell , to politics in Why Megadonors Are Unfazed by Donald Trump’s Guilty Verdict | Money flowed into the former president’s re-election campaign from Wall Street and Silicon Valley following Thursday’s historic conviction

And they are so damned short sighted.

Trump wants to be Putin.

He wants his half of the US economy. Including half of what they have now.

And they fund him while being obsessed with the pennies he will save them.

Pronell , to A Boring Dystopia in Study: Microplastics found in Agriculture Clog Soil Pores, Prevent Aeration, and Cause Plant Roots to Die

Comes wrapped in plastic.

Pronell , to Asklemmy in When did you get hit by "the tetris effect" AKA playing a video game so much that you get the urge to do moves/actions from the video game in real life?

When I was in high school I was up way too late playing D&D and dreamt I was the general of an army.

In the shower I was questioning how we'd all get clean in time for school.
