This article offers half a dozen reasons why people have stopped having friends and family over, but it ignores the fact that the women who planned parties and kept homes tidy enough for unplanned guests are now working for pay full-time (usually more than 9-5). www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The dreadful decline of hosting at home: ‘I feel shame any time a friend comes over’

It used to be quite normal to pop next door for a coffee or invite friends over for dinner. But not any more. What’s behind this change – and just how damaging is it?

she said "you can do anything in fiction as long as the situation afterwards is more interesting that the situation before." since then i have been keeping an eye on character death in fiction. many writers seem to think that character death "raises the stakes" but actually just makes things boring

the year is 2030 and i no longer consume anything that isn't personalized to me. every game, every book, every movie extends to the limits of my own imagination and no further. i haven't been surprised in five years. i cry softly, in bewilderment, if i see a word i don't know

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

Paul Ifeanyichukwu Gabriel @ @...•2h Can you explain to me like a 5 yrs old ? Nikita Bier @nikitabier • 2h Every video game -- and every piece of software -- will be personalized exactly to your preferences.

i’m gonna hold your hand when i say this, you need to let people enjoy things sometimes. even if their joy makes you cringe, you need to learn how to address that within yourself so that you don’t become a nasty human being

ME: I’m a little drunk. HER: I know. ME: You’re very beautiful. HER: Thank you. ME: Do I look okay naked? HER: You do. ME: Do you like my penis? HER: It’s very nice. ME: Big, too. HER: Yes it is. ME: What now? HER: I have to call the police. ME: Why? HER: Starbucks policy, sir.

Hey yo, my Reylo writers, Auntie is opening her big mouth (and speaking in the third person yay) to say that if you put words in order to make sentences and paragraphs and chapters and stories, and then you upload them and share them with the world, you are already ahead.
