The original definition of gay was "happy and carefree". Some time after that it became also a colloquil synonym for homosexuality. As time went on a third definition was adopted that means "stupid and bad". We've got a word here that has multiple accepted definitions so get with the times and don't be offended if somebody uses it differently then you do. |

I started 'SNL,' and I became the one who did impressions. I did that, but then I wanted to get an original character on, and that took a long time to get one on that stuck. And then I got Vinny Vedecci on - 'Oh great' - and then it took a couple more seasons to get Greg the Alien on. You have to have some patience. |

Where do we say that a cell became a blade of grass, which became a starfish, which became a cat, which became a donkey, which became a human being? There's a real lack of evidence from change from actual species to a different type of species. |

I think that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the Bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. So I don't think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today. |

A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the word you first thought of. |

For a long time the people at my shows were sort of the Pantera-tattoo trucker guys, really cool dudes, but I don't know what happened to them. That's the crowd that I like, the ones that don't get so offended just to be offended. |

An original something, dear maid, you would wish me to write; but how shall I begin? For I'm sure I have not original in me, Excepting Original Sin. |

In my solitude, many miles from men and houses, I am in a childishly happy and carefree state of mind, which you are incapable of understanding unless someone explains it to you. |

I get to shift multiple markets. I get to shift economies. It's extremely liberating. I breathe differently. |

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. |

I think the further away you get from completing a book, the more responses you see to it from readers, the more your own tastes and opinions shift and the more you start to see things you could have written differently in the detail, or done differently on the broader scale of plot and character. |

I think it's dishonest to pretend that "stupid and bad" wasn't a result of people hating on homosexuality, and I think it's disrespectful to continue to use it with that definition.

I guess it depends on your definition of god. There seem to be a few. Humans are definitely powerful though.

It's interesting when someone says "I don't know about that one" because sometimes it means "I'm skeptical about that one" but other times it literally means "I'm not aware of that"

Irony. The term people love to use... incorrectly. On TV, in literature, between friends ? people misapply and misuse the word a million times a day. Even the pop anthem dedicated to the trope gets it wrong (or does it?). But you oughta know all this by now.
The fight over what is "ironic" and what isn't can be traced all the way back to Biblical times when Eve said to Adam, "The irony is that I don't even like apples." Adam took exception, and thus began the greatest of language debates.
More recently, this debate took hold of our entire office, pitting friend against friend, coworker aga...

Well, it's really cool at first, and it's definitely a skill you can develop. You can get good at controlling your dreams, too (summoning new elements, or trying to render things differently (don't know how appropriate render is for word choice).
Exhibiting control is actually quite exhausting, ironically, and the in between stage (bad way to describe it) when you're on the verge of wakefulness and hanging on to a dream-state by a thread is quite an lonely, dark, barren, color-void space (not that there are very many colors in your dreams to begin with).
Personally, I feel it's much better...

Unfortunately, I think the rise of chatbots or conversational agents is actually blurring the definition of spam. If a recruiter emails a bunch of people with generated personalized messages, is it spam or not? I certainly don't want to see it and the generated parts often sound super fake and wrong, so it seems even more like spam.

Stephen King’s 20 Rules for Writers
1. First write for yourself, and then worry about the audience. “When you write a story, you’re telling yourself the story. When you rewrite, your main job is taking out all the things that are not the story."
2. Don’t use passive voice. “Timid writers like passive verbs for the same reason that timid lovers like passive partners. The passive voice is safe.”

So we bill our clients by the minute of my time spent, often this translates in huge profits for my boss since 1 hour of my work is whatever price, and the billable fee is often 3 times as much. But what this really means is that if one of my clients wants me to spend 5 hours changing their share button, it will cost them nearly $400.

now i often look for the number 33 and 333 particularly. i have in the past 'tested' god but asking for certain affirmations for proof of his presence. nothing specific like o this person will text me at this time saying this but more reasonable things like relationship advice or a promotion of sorts to show my business mind is in the right set. i know this sounds quite generic or easily explained but i really am not searching for these numbers or objects, they just appear at times. imnot scouring the ground for pinecones i just continue my day and sometimes they pop up more unusually thannormal. again, i dont believe in coincidence anymore so often i hear certain words or events or topics or ideas in conversations/raps/videos over a short period of time.
