Huh, didn't know that. Mahalo.
I envy you, you must've enjoyed your work amongst the top natural world wonders.

🔥 Beautiful pattern on back of turtle.
That's a hawksbill turtle. It is critically endangered due to poaching. If you ever find any products with similar patterns in a seedy/touristy market, do not buy them.
Edit: Green Sea Turtle.
My bad. Sorry.

City names in novels
Remember that comment I made about people being distracted about cities and countries and potentially makes the author at risk?
I found a perfect story that illustrates this: Transdimensional Marketing.
IF the countries, people and organizations weren't named, some of the readers wouldn't be so pissed and accuse the author of being racist and nationalistic. I don't think the story would've garnered a low rating. It's actually a pretty good story.
Personally, I think all stories should be done in a fictional world with fictional city names for precisely this reason.

City names in novels
It's to avoid ... flaming haters/fans of certain cities and countries and force the reader to focus on the story.
If a fictional country and city is used, it could be argued that somehow the author doesn't like real countries. Take a country where it has a government where they have re-education camps, political vetting process for marriage, heavy emphasis on patriotic education and so on - add in that accusation that the author doesn't like said country because they avoid writing stories with that country in that setting, it can be... bad.

"I'm LEAVING the USA and moving to ALASKA!" -- Twitter trolls have a copypasta meltdown over election results.
Yes.
it's a form of limited social deligitmizaton of the election results. This affects only the people that already has an issue and in a way, makes their dissatisfaction seem have more body by being voiced by others.

lovely one...
To be fair, the bad guys are really the moms with extensive phone trees lists to whip each other up in a fever and demands to the legislative. (such as the eagle forum, headed by Gayle Ruzicka. source 1, source 2)
There's also a very large and well known religious institution that tends to swing their way around despite being half of the population of the state now as evidenced by the recent joke of prop 2 aftermath. That particular religion is practiced by 90% of the legislators in Utah.

Mad art skills
Repetition improves art. You'd be surprised how many drafts artists go through until it looks somewhat decently close to what their mind's eye saw.
Automated art is MUCH more impressive than a one off, One off is pure luck.

Churches have been astonishingly hypocritical during the pandemic - They want exemptions from general laws. They also want federal funding.
They want the coin that went to Caesar.
If any churches ever got governmental funding, that's a forced tithe on me. Why would I want to pay tithes to a church I do not patronize?

Sure... China doesn't ever put video cameras on poles for security.
Come think of it, just how many state security cameras are there in china?

Despite not paying taxes, 9,000 churches get tax money
That's not the biggest thing that bothered me is this: One of the major reasons why the founding fathers insisted on the separation of state and church is because the taxes they pay for goes to the Church of England, despite some of the followers are of different religions.
The taxpayers paid two tithes, one going to their own church and the other to the church of England, which was backing, at the time, a very shitty king.
To get anyone pissed off, ask them, how did you like paying the tithes to another church without your consent?
And when they do, tell them about this stupid shenanigan you were referring to.
We paid tithes to 9,000 different churches!

Urgent call to action. We fear Mubarak Bala is being beaten and tortured in custody. He is being denied his right to see the lawyers that you have helped pay for. We need to know if he is alive. Here's how you can take action.
Now it's gotten to the point where we have to literally call the police in Nigeria:

Food, when digested, triggers the endogenic opioid system.
Every living thing that has a endogenous opioid system dies.
This reversed global warming and nature eventually reclaims the land.
