you would think that I, a guy who has imported eurodance cds that major us record labels don't carry, would reach for that as my example in the previous metaphor, but no. bossanova only final destination.

This for linguistics too, there are so many cooler things happening in modern linguistics than outdated stuff from the 1940s to build your scifi on!!
The other advantage for your scifi of being a scientist in your real life is that you have a picture of all the current research. Don't build stories on outdated science from the 20th century. I legit take notes on every seminar I can get to, even if it's unrelated to my thesis. Bc it's for scifi.
My advice to aspiring young hard SF authors who can go to college is literally to study science. You need to love it to the point of wanting to become it to write really good hard SF. If anything feels like a chore to study, it’ll read like a chore too. Don’t write it if you’re not in love with it.

#quiltprog back to it featuring my tie dye drying rack holding a bunch of post-ironing strips. this may become my work-appropriate pride desk quilt since I think DO WHATEVER BE WHOEVER is a little much for the office

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

This is basic. Get you a group chat where "uncensored titty twister" and "omega-presenting nipples" are typing.

Thinking about how bsky has the most horrible setting turned on by default that says "i don't want to see any other languages except English" and if no one tells you to put it on "no selection" you straight up won't see posts from people set to different languages on your TL.

The more I study the languages of the world, the more mad I get that the only thing American schools teach you about the languages of Central and South America is "they all speak Spanish except Brazil, which speaks Portuguese" btw.
