I automatically block certain people who follow me: Accounts about spreading religion, accounts about pictures of pretty girls, accounts about sharing the winnings of a lottery, accounts about MLM and other scams (including "entrepreneur coaching"). Some of you folks are wasting your time.

I got my monthly receipt today. Money very well spent. 🙂

Traitor One and his treasonweasels are there to serve themselves, not the public. If there is an exact opposite of FDR and TR and Abe Lincoln and George Washington, it's Traitor One.

Well, the people who did the programming (the GOP from Nixon onward and the billionaires are the problem. The people they've brainwashed are their first victims, who then make the rest of us into victims. It's like a zombie plague, with a red hat rather than a virus to remove brains.

I think a backlash is finally forming to push back against the craziness of the right. It's early days yet, but it's starting. We're beginning to see it here in the US, too.

I detest it. The trouble is that I also detest having people I don't know in my home.

GOP health care plan: Fuck off and die, poors. Oh, but not until we bankrupt you.

Heyo, Saja. Rest up now so that you can wake up John at 3 AM. 🙂

You have that just to prevent someone else from launching one in your name, right? I recall that you do that on many sites. Wise move for a public figure, IMO.

On behalf of everyone downwind, thanks. 😉

The stupid fucks don't get that The Great Gatsby is, among other themes, a criticism of the wealthy in the gilded age, which is exactly on target now. Tone deaf barely begins to have having that kind of party while cutting SNAP benefits.

Sorry to blast you with three replies. We hit subjects I care about a lot, retired or not.

I have always regarded game writing as a form of technical writing, and I admire it when it's well done. I have also been known to rewrite not so well written rules for my own game group to use. Yes, I'm fussy. That goes with the territory. 🙂

Definitely. I find that two things matter in any design project: the details and the constraints. Once the designer understands those, all the rest falls into place. That's much easier said than done, as I'm sure you know.

As (retired) technical writer (and programmer), the part of these things I enjoy the most is the instructions. It takes a lot of thought and work to write good assembly instructions.

Yes, I know. I'm weird. I am unconcerned by that fact. 🙂

The teachers and principals who let that happen need to be fired.
