    How the fuck are epic stories described as having "100 000" words at the most? Wtf... How do you even tell a full story within that frame!?

    Darkly Dreaming Dexter was only 300 pages or so and spawned 9 seasons.

    76 000 words, so between "very long novel" and "absolutely epic!" according to most sites. Like I said - the expectation seems to be really, really tiny books :I

    TorontoReign
    It depends. Those tiny books are easy to sell everywhere at places like Wal-Mart since the education level of the average consumer is lower than somewhere like a book store. Red Dragon is a real easy read at about the same page length. Keep it in mind.

    And it all started cus we wanted so desperately to *appear* on board with the big-boys rules, "Oh look, America banned the black people's jazz-drug! Maybe they will be impressed with us, if we ban it too :o"
    And now we just stick to our guns, "nono, we banned it because of its INHERENT DANGER >;'''I"

    By now, the entire Norwegian police force is built entirely on busting stoners - we have like 3 murders a year, a handful of burglaries - the only thing that keeps police stations even standing is the pot-busts, NOTHING else. Holy fuck how I fucking hate them, the entire goddamn police station in the city, ENTIRELY dedicated to busting potheads, and NOTHING else

    Oh yeah, we had 108 official murders on record in 2019 for the state of New Mexico, and all they want to do is bust potheads too. Ya know why? Because it's much easier than approaching that tinted windshield on the side of the highway.

    But it does not accept "automatild", automatic-fire, suggesting instead "automatsild", automatic-herring.

    I’m in the same age group as Zegh’s username. Also, I can’t search product reviews without getting dumbass Hindu currency prices…..

    I got the Hindu-thing for a while. Do you have "personalized searches" or whatevs on or off? I have them off, because I *loathe* the idea of having Google try to get to know me, and try to personalize my internet - it sounds like a fucking nightmare - but it DOES cause some confusion in Google's results - including quirks that seem utterly random, like Hindu-focused search results and such.
    zegh8578
    Wait, what, how do people get 100 pages out of "8000-9000" words!? :D Are people typing shit up with font size 40, like some kid cheating
    zegh8578
    zegh8578
    up the page count, or something? Wtf - with a word-count of 8000, font Courier, font size 10, I average on 20 pages!

    What I MEANT to find out was: It seems there is a consensus of 3000-5000 words being "adequate" chapter length, with 5000+ being overall considered too much, while nearly all my chapters are betwen 5 and 10K words. NONE are 100 pages long :'D

    Tbh, too busy writing lately. After decades of dicking around, I've started a new project, a dystopia, 6 protagonists of low class, 3 men, 3 women, in a far northern Siberian megapolis 300 years from now, 50 million people, rainy winters, scorching rebellious summers, and more capitalism than a million elon musks would know what to do with.

    You know what. Comedians. They are some of the most easily offended pussies in the world. That's the blind spot. They can *not* stop crying.

    In the old days, every comedian had to go through the grinder, people heckling them, people ruining their sets, I was never the type to heckle (although I have heckled innocent acoustic guitar performers on stage, because FUCK acoustic guitar performers!)

    but you know, just to teach them all a lesson, if I ever go to a comedy show, I'll be the guy. I'll be the heckler - out of the blue, just random interruptions "YOUR MOTHER!!!" and see if I can break them. Fucking pussies.

    He got into it with the mafia for money for one. Plus he just was not that talented.

    That could have been one of the arguments in the comments. Several people tried hard to prop Rogans credentials over the medical doctor, which is what struck me as incredibly child-like, like comparing ratings and such.

    I think even some Rogan simps have started to find his self abscribed "medical expertise" to be a point of contention. Of course the weirdo simps and the anti vax orbiters flock to defend his claims. When you go to the gym and you inject steroids they force feed you medical knowledge, it's like doing an entire Virology specialization with every pump, like in Fallout New Vegas when you read a magazine.

    Heh, appreciate the sentiment! I usually do not have to wait much more than a weeks time, me and a friend got a get-together once a month, where we do a big purchase from a guy we trust, who comes to deliver, and brings named weeds, lately's been a bunch of lemon haze :D I'm like "yah, whatever dude, if you say so, gimme"

    Thanks man, I'll keep it in mind! It appears to be illegal, with the exception of medical use.
    Drug-laws are so heavily biased, it is difficult to even fully parse - what do people even knows about drugs? Nothing! Then you got the equally biased "oh, but this drug is legal!" oh, wow, what a blessing! So, I take it this *legal* drug comes *without* serious medical ramifications?
    "No :)"

    It might not be stolen valor if they have a full uniform (ACU) but it sure does look like someone trying to be in the military when they aren't if they have the nametag and everything. If they put the CAB on they are fucked.

    If he shaves his illusion of being ageless disappears, did you see him on the Bill and Ted movie? Long hair does the same, it frames his face so it looks leaner and it hides the ravages of time.
