Seems like something Lamb would know.

rereading your own fics/wips is a very slippery slope into finding out you actually have to finish your fics if you want them finished

The shouting from Lamb’s office rattled what was left of the windows from his floor down to Ho’s. Moira stopped what she was doing to look upwards, waiting for the floor to collapse.

Catherine, four months absent, but twenty years in the black of Jackson Lamb’s moods simply carried on.

Footsteps on the stairs, lighter than Lamb but heavy with intent.

Coe’s hood was up, earphones dangling. He wouldn’t make eye contact with her, simply stood there until Catherine registered his presence.

“Sorry.” He said “For shooting him in front of you.”

Catherine considered for a moment. Her mouth tightened to a hard line, a single nod in Coe’s direction. There was nothing to be said that could undo his actions, that would wipe the memory of it away. She had no forgiveness for him. There were other things that needed her attention.

“I need to get the bucket.”

“Oh - yes - it’s over there.” Catherine pulled the bucket from the under the sink, handed it over.

“J.K. - I was there too?” Moira said.

Coe paused at the door.

“He didn’t mention you.”

He disappeared back up the stairs.

Every so often online you’ll hear about a woman who spilled McDonald’s coffee on her lap that sued McDonald’s. It’s touted as the prime example of a frivolous lawsuit, and McDonald’s have put in a lot of money to spin the case that way.

I'm sick of seeing that lie peddled by clickbait news sites and popular accounts trying to ridicule her with "Oh you didn't expect coffee to be hot?".

What actually happened should radicalise you.

In 1994, Stella Liebeck, who was 79 years old, spilled coffee on her lap while in the passengers seat of the car. The coffee was dangerously hot and caused third-degree burns over 16% of her body including her inner thighs and genitals.

*Warning - Very graphic images of the burns*

Image 2.

Stella originally tried to settle with McDonald's for the cost of her medical care - $20,000. They only offered her $800.

Throughout the case it was discovered that McDonald's were selling coffee between 30-40 degrees higher than other places. That change in temperature causes third-degree burns much faster, if it had been from somewhere else she would have had roughly 20 seconds to wipe away the coffee and avoid third-degree burns.

McDonald's were behind the smear campaign against her, so whenever you see anyone spread their misinformation, you can now correct them.

This may be the worst use of LLMs anyone has attempted, ever. Up there with recognizing mushrooms.

This one really does just gain momentum with every new word, huh?

This always sounds like a story from the Ankh-Morpork Times.

“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and he’ll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishman—” He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. “If he ever knew, he has forgotten. ‘Move on!’ you tell us. ‘Move on! Forget what we’ve done to you. Tomorrow’s another day!’ But it isn’t, Mr. Brue.” He still had Brue’s hand. “Tomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.”

Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

bigfatbitchdotcom

It's not r*pe, it's rape. It's not su*cide, it's suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.

And it's been proven that on certain websites, you don't even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.

I attended an anti-suicide seminar in college. One of the big takeaways from it was that stigmatizing suicide increases the rate of suicide, because people who are feeling suicidal feel like they can't ask for help. Every time I see babytalk garbage like 'unalive', I think of that.

Use the real words. Words have power, and they matter.
