An outer space gold rush would be a really interesting premise for a story.

Remember folks:

Parents are only shown in an anime series if they are relevant to the plot of the series, regardless of if it’s one or both. If one parent or both parents aren’t shown in the anime, then that parent(s) isn’t important to the plot yet or never will be. Even if that parent(s) was mentioned in conversation by the characters a few times.

Ok,

I’m going to have a two-parter for a video.

13 steps is way too long Reedsy.

And each step is super extensive, too.

But why did it have to be 13? I have to separate it weird now.

The only thing on my mind is the fact that mental health all over the world is and will still continue to get treated like a stupid joke.

Jimmy broke his leg? Get him a leg cask and some medication to ease the pain.

Jackie is dealing major depression and mood swings? Nah, she’s a woman! She’ll be fine when she gets over it or something.

Even though people are getting better at dealing with mental health now, it’s not enough and many people are still dealing/suffering to get help.

We can’t change society, that will mean breaking down the very foundation that humanity has built itself on. The only way that can happen is if there some ā€œend of the worldā€ situation going on or whatever that may be.

And yet I keep waiting for the world to change…got to wait longer I suppose.

I could be wrong, but I’ve long suspected it’s at least partially due to the fact that a lot of doctors and nurses don’t actually want to, but go into the healthcare profession because it’s one of the few that still guarantees a high income. So those professionals often don’t really give a damn about patients, they just want the moolah. I can’t blame them, really, but it does result in less than adequate healthcare. Whatcha gonna do, though? Our society’s way overpopulated for the number of high paying jobs that exist, and now AI is putting thousands out of work, and has the potential to layoff millions in the very near future. Argh.

There’s always a damn obstacle! This reminds of how teachers don’t care about the students but do care about getting a paycheck.

I always found that stupid as fuck! A teacher’s salary isn’t even all that great when you think about it. Like teachers are struggling just to make enough just to help themselves as they help out the students.

Are seriously saying that the ā€œteacherā€ who are only doing that to get money, failed to get a better job elsewhere? Is getting a job as a teacher the final option if all else fails?

That never made sense to me. If you hate teaching and students, you can’t find a job elsewhere that can please you? I don’t buy that as an excuse. I can’t and I won’t! The very same applies to doctors.

Something has to give in this bullshit of a society…

I’ve always been terrible at art - the covers I attempt to make for my Wattpad books are embarrassingly bad. But today I discovered how to use AI to do it for me. I don’t suppose I’ll update my Wattpad covers as no one ever discovers my stories anyway, but I’m both excited and concerned that someone as bad at art as I am can now make their own book covers. Yikes.

glad you’re exploring ways to make your own book covers! but please be mindful when using AI, it generates art by copying work that belongs to real people so you risk having covers or elements that are plagiarized.

Sure. I only do it for my own entertainment. I’m more commenting on the fact that I can go from creating something so bad to something that looks professional when I have no skill at all.

How is my email address being used?

Our names are in no way similar.

How.

I now have two emails about a housing in LA workshop thing. One to confirm the date. The other to thank the attendee for participation.

Joanne Erickson attended and I get the thank you email :roll_eyes:

This is post number 6060.
