“You need…”
Is not a command…
You keep placing false intent and meaning. That is a form of manipulation and gas lighting.
You need to let it go, or get over whatever this weird outrage this is that you are having.
I can feel however I want, you don’t get to gatekeep that.
I didn’t tell George RR Martin to do anything. I said a line on a social media forum.
You are choosing to take my words in the way you are describing and not in the way I intended. That is a form of manipulation and gas lighting. Especially after I clarified.
Who called me entitled? I guess I missed that. That’s a weird take, whoever said it.
You could at least come up with a response that already hasn’t been said several times.
Man the Sanderson hate in this post is real.
I only suggested him because he helped finish the Wheel of Time series.

4·5 days agoI’m not disagreeing with him putting himself on that position. I am not defending this murderer at all, but I don’t think it is helpful to claim there was no contact when there clearly was.
Look at it this way.
He was clearly starting to stall in his later books, taking so long to get them out, and instead of starting to wrap up the storyline, he started introducing new elements.
I understand why he hasn’t moved forward, but I’ve lost all interest in ever picking up another book of his. The terrible writing by D&D certainly didn’t help.
My feelings of frustration are valid and my criticism is not unfounded.
I do appreciate your thoughtful response, thank you
I didn’t say anything remotely close to saying artists owed me anything. Dude bit off more than he can chew.
I have a right to be frustrated when I’m invested in a story and it just stops.
IIRC correctly, they were so checked out, working on potential future projects (that were also fucking terrible), that they had most of the work passed off to others?
Honestly though, I blame the author. GOT was great until they ran out of source material. Then you saw how terrible D&D really are at this. MF still hasn’t finished the series. If you can’t finish it, then don’t fucking start it.
Maybe Sanderson can pick up the mantle for this one too.

10·6 days agoI did see physical contact in another video.
It looks like the corner of the car is up against him, but he put himself there and she was clearly turning away from him. Then he just pushes himself off the car as she is turning and shoots her.
When you are a kid, you haven’t let life pass you by yet.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I need to vent about plastic milk jugs
2·17 days agoI sometimes did the same, but I grew up on a dairy farm and had milk that wasn’t homogenized.
We used these old one gal apple juice bottles that had a narrow neck, so the cream would float to the top and collect in the narrow opening.
When I got older, I actually liked getting that first dollop of cream on my cereal.
Now though, anything over 2% just tastes too heavy. Growing up on unpasteurized milk, I am amazed at what I got away with.

My company has one every year. Heck, it is even just our regional department, so each department has its own.
It was 80’s themed this year. They had live music and even a Back to the Future mocked up Delorian outside of the venue. A couple of free drink tickets, free buffet style food all around, a bunch of 80’s arcade machines, and a pretty awesome raffle.
The company is also employee owned and not beholden to stockholder parasites.
It’s amazing what a company can do when your profits aren’t maximized and sucked out.
Wall Street should be burned to the ground and billionaires crucified over its ashes.
Your comment was great, why the hate?

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Google's AI Summaries Are Destroying the Lives of Recipe Developers
11·27 days agoMaybe if they didn’t make you go through their fucking blog to try and find the actual recipe, dodging ads the whole time.
Bon Appetit used to have an incredible recipe site back in the he day, but it slowly became shittified.
I have Julia Childs’ French cookbook set and that is just an amazing resource. I definitely recommend that to anyone who wants to see how shit was done back in the day before everything came in a can or a mix. Plus the French really knew how to make a delicious dish.
I started printing out the Bon Appetit recipes that I liked, when that started going to shit, and even those were difficult to frame in a useable way. But at least with the printouts, I don’t have to search through the slop to find what I want.
Still annoying to look for something knew.
For all you beginners out there, or new to the recipe saving world… TAKE NOTES ON YOUR RECIPES! You WILL forget what you liked/didn’t like, or changes that worked/didn’t work.

Technology@lemmy.world•Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to MicrosoftEnglish
1·27 days agoSo many people at work are having frustrating issues with Windows now.
It takes so fucking long to start up. Sure, you get a desktop and can open a program, but it just keeps locking up repeatedly for a good 20 minutes while whatever bloatware is running in the background during startup.
They cram OneDrive down your throat and it has constant issues.
They put so much shit in your way, in the name of “productivity” it makes your actual productivity worse.
FUCK COPILOT.
Fuck Excel and Microsoft for tying auto save to OneDrive.




You are not wrong.
But those women aren’t the ones making the threat.
