I don't know why I started @u@ but it needs to be an Actual Thing because it looks weird.


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Clancy - 04-30-2021

Do any of you mind if I talk about a new story idea I've been thinking about for a while?

I sort of want to float it by other people to get some feedback.


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - arimothereindeer - 04-30-2021

I want to know when my book is coming but I don't wanna bother my mom aaaauuuuggghhhhh

also sure


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Clancy - 04-30-2021

Thanks.

So, this story would be based around the idea of how emerging technologies (genetic engineering, cybernetics et cetera) might be used for good or for evil in the future, and what sort of safeguards might be put into place to minimize the dangers of these technologies.

The conflict of the story would be between members of a transhumanist "grinder" subculture, who use radical body-modification techniques to augment their abilities, and a newly found government agency, who investigate threats to the Americas posed by nascent technology (super-viruses, super-soldiers, bioterrorism, and more). The U.S. government fears that emerging technologies will destroy the social order or even civilization itself, and want to regulate them; the grinders fear that transhumanist technologies will be concentrated in the hands of the wealthy and powerful, and want to make access to them equal for everyone. In the middle is a grinder who has cut a deal with the agency, working with them as a deniable agent against super-terrorists, unethical research corporations, rogue governmental super-soldier programs, and enemy countries eager to weaponize superhumans themselves.

Basically, it's a science-fiction post-cyberpunk superhero spy thriller. How does it sound?


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - arimothereindeer - 04-30-2021

It sounds good, and sounds realistic and sci-fi at the same time


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Clancy - 04-30-2021

Thanks for the feedback.

Certainly is empty in here...


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Kennifer - 04-30-2021

I been busy with

STUFF

THINGS


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Kennifer - 04-30-2021

and by that I mean shit like "finishing up at work and trying to get rid of people who don't want to leave at closing time", "closing at work", "dinner", "discord stuff", "ket", "explosions and other things that aren't gonna work because what the actual fuck", "making a post in a roleplay' and "winding a ball of yarn for a thing I am knitting"


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Clancy - 04-30-2021

Up arrow I forgive you.

You've got a job, after all.


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Kennifer - 04-30-2021

also won't be on as much for a while tomorrow since I have to finish end of month bookkeeping shit that I couldn't do today due to late customers buying things and thus messing up the bookkeeping.

Congratulations!

I'm going to get my second dose a couple of days from now.


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Whistle - 04-30-2021

Seriously wondering how Dad's gonna take it if I come out to him tonight.

Yoooo, nice!

In other news, I've written a Dethroning Moment of Suck for Western Animation.


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Whistle - 05-01-2021

I like it. Very well-written.

Have you been returning to TVTropes as of late?


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Guma - 05-01-2021

Yeah, I got tired of just lurking.


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Whistle - 05-01-2021

I know, it's tough. I could be a good contributor...


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Clancy - 05-01-2021

The whole reason I made a TVT account was that I was tired with just browsing tropes and wanted to actually contribute. So, I don't really get the idea of deliberately not contributing, since that's all I set out to do.


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Whistle - 05-01-2021





the aliens be boppin their heads to this

I want educational and my Grammarly said the tone sounded fearful

wild guess: perhaps that's because grammarly's algorithms have picked up on the fact that ableists (mostly thinking of A$ here but, like, other ableists too) tend to speak about autism like something to fear

but the algorithm doesn't think about things, it just sees "autism = scary" and now anything talking about autism is fearful


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Whistle - 05-01-2021

Ah, I see.

The textbook I read doesn't really speak of it that well. Uses a lot of person-first language and says that ABA therapy is the best way to help.

In my brochure, I will be sure to say that it is controversial, however.


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Risdio51 - 05-01-2021

I just bought an Evil Dead 2 VHS tape because I will never learn from my financial mistakes in the past.


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - Guma - 05-01-2021

Maybe try proofreading by hand instead of relying on faulty algorithms.


RE: LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread) - arimothereindeer - 05-01-2021

my book should be here by the fifth of may I'm very excited
