This is embarrassing.

I love the carpet pattern and the hits of red behind them! Amazing work.

@earthworm @Daveography

It's not a "cheerful" thing at all. But... this part is just a little funny to watch. Just a little.

@lkundrak

He's in it too, yes.

@carrideen @RachelThornSub

You can bet it's in the backrooms then!

@Daveography

Do you know what a "Nick Fuentes" is? He's a nazi pod-caster basically. As in "Christians only" and "interracial marriage is evil" nazi.

He's become moderately popular on the right and Tucker Carlson had him on his show. The Heritage Foundation (extreme conservatives) are in-fighting about him. Some are "confused" how this could happen. I'm not.

"I just don't understand what made them think I would welcome this kind of awful thing??"

(See what's been happening with the conservative Heritage Foundation for more on this going on in real time.)

*crying* "Where did all of these awful racist and antisemitic hateful people come from?" *confused crying*

It's basically like any scary story that is also a meme. Like "bloody marry" (where you turn off the lights in the bathroom and say her name in the mirror three times and she appears?)

Only this is how these stories grow and spread online. There have been short films and games made, but nothing is the "official" story which is what I love about it.

Normally there is a particular point where an artwork like this looks most effective. That's the ideal point to take a photo from... change the angle an the illusion of depth will vanish.

They would be one level up from the Very Long House I think.

Everyone is feeling so crushed by layoffs. We could really use some new companies with real new ideas, or even just the bravery to try to do something that's already being done just a little better.

But, what a horrible environment to start a company. Unless you start it with the aim of getting it bought. That's how everyone seems to think about it now and I think it's very dysfunctional.

The real reason is more cool. It's a way to kill off the viruses... which is way creatures like bats, that have more variable body temperatures (for mammals) can be reservoirs for many viruses.

@RachelThornSub

People mostly get excited describing and making renderings of these strange liminal spaces. The idea is that you could at any moment glitch out of reality and end up in someplace like this:

@RachelThornSub

It's a modern folk tale based on an old 4chan creepypasta that has mutated into a bunch of stories.

"If you're not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in."

Wanted: #Writing Advice

Have any of you *completed* a novel where there are multiple story lines that thread in and out of each other?

I started writing it in the order I imagined it: so switching when I'd expect the reader to switch, but this has become confusing.

I'm separating the story threads by character and I'm planning on working on them like individual stories for a bit.

Then I think I will weave them back together.

Does this sound like a good idea? Anything I might watch out for?

It's impossible to make money in transportation. People forget this over and over again, but there are social pressures that keep it from being profitable and overtime, the more useful the network, the less profitable it is.

And this is a good thing.

It's also where a government can play a positive role.

What if every company that needs public investment has already raised as much money as they possibly need? What if there simply isn't any real need for more money to go into the stock market? If there isn't a company with a need to buy something, or build something so they can pay dividends in the future when they make a lot of money then maybe the stock market is full.

What happens when the stock market is full?

Anyway it's time to raise taxes and build things with government money.
