you need to make your keyboard more fucked up tbh

Fuck with me.

Love how you can feel his sanity slipping away…

Ok, since I'm now eating 600g of rice daily (that's pre-boiling weight btw), I'd like to experiment with some condiments on this thing that are not soy sauce. Limitations - cheaper or at level with soy sauce, can't be fat-based (no ranch or mayonnaise) and can't have sugar (okay, maybe just a bit). Please, I'm buying out the whole supply of my city, please.

Pro-writing tip: if your story doesn't need a number, don't put a fucking number in it.

Nothing, I mean nothing, activates reader pedantry like a number.

I have seen it a thousand times in writing workshops. People just can't resist nitpicking a number. For example, "This scifi story takes place 200 years in the future and they have faster than light travel because it's plot convenient," will immediately drag every armchair scientist out of the woodwork to say why there's no way that technology would exist in only 200 years.

Dates, ages, math, spans of time, I don't know what it is but the second a specific number shows up, your reader is thinking, and they're thinking critically but it's about whether that information is correct. They are now doing the math and have gone off drawing conclusions and getting distracted from your story or worse, putting it down entirely because umm, that sword could not have existed in that Medieval year, or this character couldn't be this old because it means they were an infant when this other story event happened that they're supposed to know about, or these two events now overlap in the timeline, or... etc etc etc.

Unless you are 1000% certain that a specific number is adding to your narrative, and you know rock-solid, backwards and forwards that the information attached to that number is correct and consistent throughout the entire story, do yourself a favor, and don't bring that evil down upon your head.

Being nice to someone you don't like is not manipulation btw it's being civil
