No worries, it is time for people to see that authors are everywhere on the planet, not just in one corner 😀 If you have more. Do not hesitate 😁

Maybe. I consider Greedfall as indie game as not really known. I love it. So, maybe, yes. the “small” is little bit too much… 😅

I have just described a process which is just my opinion, observation. Then, I think, it is another topic which can be asked in the community 😀

Nice 😆

terrestrial leeches ??? 🥶

Lack of education : History tells us what happened and how. But, people find it boring. It is true that what it is in the past must stay in the past but it still teaches so you do not make the same mistake again.

Make one main enemy/villain/ the cause of the problem (even if it is not): The most effective trick ever. (think like you are at work, you hate one colleague, you find out that another colleague hate the same colleague. You become friend.)

Make a second enemy/villain/ the cause of the problem (even if it is not): So you diffuse more problems (safe side - figure of speech.)

As one says: Divide and conquer (always works).

BUT ALWAYS a minority as it works better. You need to please the majority.

In general people are tired of ineffective politics: so they try something new and/or it resonates with them, meaning they see that it is maybe true that the problem is the example (s) given by the fascists/nazis/neonazis etc. But, they will not check if it is true as they think the politicians know what they do. Even if, if you think about it. Anyone can be a politician, you need to know how to speak, to present yourself well, to have a vision, to know how to gather people together, to lead. The rest you delegate to more competent people who know their fields.

Once the hook works, you work with the emotions, some facts (fake or not). You slightly change the narrative so it is matching your “vision”, “ideology”. This is where, usually, you can get them as you can double-check if it is true or not. This is where you see the true journalists at work. And through asking questions.

Example: LGBTQA+ community (quite a “”“”“trend”“”“” to bash at (sarcasm)). A lot of politicians say that it is destroying the society, family, we need to protect the kids (the ultimate red flag of all) etc. One just need to ask them (politicians), the right questions. In what sense it is destroying the society? Etc, etc etc. So, you can show that what they say, their ideology is just fake, anti-human. etc. But, people do not do it or few. You can apply for each point of their speech.

(Besides, the most homophobic person is a gay in the closet. Grindr never lies!!!)

Then, control, media, press etc. You slightly divide the majority so better control.

So basically, the same pattern that history teaches.

Well… If you insist. 😀 I think I would miss the comfort of a clean house (no insects, no fleas, no ticks- I assume there are ticks in the jungle.) If I keep thinking like a human.

Not even one above all? Or the last one you read 😀

Careful, that rant might get rebranded as a life hack for surviving the internet. 😁

I would be in the jungle and enjoying life as a tiger.

I would change the professional path, and I would stay most probably single to avoid all the energy lost in that “game”.

The Queen from Once upon a time. She felt more and more human throughout the show.

Oh sorry. I didn’t get that. Well… If there is no demand, no one will make a new one, I am afraid 😓

I’d say there is, maybe, a thin line between I dont care and I hate. The core is still the same, I presume: “You do you. I do me.” Just different feeling involved.

LOL Well… it can be like watching an oldy 😆

No, it is not good. For the one who fantasizes that person (frustration, anger, jealousy, sadness) and then the other person (fear, mistrust). There is more than 8 billions people on earth. So, countless possibilities for connection, friendship, and love 😀

I do not mind them like at the crossroads or around the traffic signs, bus or railway stations, airports, museums, etc. But, if it is like every 5 metres… Even if it is said it is for security reason… I do not know… It feels more like recording everything I do

My manager would ask me: "You do not like it here? What are all those memes, videos about “Corporate life” you are posting?. + People would think that I hate everyone…

If you want a PDF for any book, try, at least, as much as you can, to get them directly from the author, if the author is an Indie Author they will willingly do it for you or, maybe, it is available directly on their own online store.

By doing so, you are bypassing all those companies taking, as they say “a small cut”. So you are sure that your money goes directly to the author and no to the “I-take-a-small-cut company”. That goes also for EPUB format etc 😀

AC Shadows. Love AC (Not all of them) I like the general story.
