Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: Probably one of my biggest fails at an interview: Couldn't find the building, had to call reception to direct me - arrived late, sweaty, flustered. I have a stutter that can be a problem on the best of days, let alone when I'm nervous. I arrive, introduce ....
Comment preview: The promotion they're running on the Fire Phone ($1 with a 2-year contract + a free year of Prime) almost got me, but this was the primary thing that changed my mind. I just can't find any benefit to choosing to buy a phone locked to Amazon's app store ve ....
Comment preview: And that is the problem with our current representative government. The system broke when Congress fixed the size of the House of Representatives with the [Apportionment Act of 1911.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apportionment_Act_of_1911) That act locked ....
Comment preview: Your post is too myopic, and not erudite in the least as you claim, but the sentiment is valid. Companies aren't starting wars just get their equipment blown up, or to tear down schools, or to support Israel. Each of those has myriad causes and can't be ....
Comment preview: The President's significance is not exaggerated by the media, but his role is. The president can make key appointments that directly and indirectly influence legislation. Supreme Court nominations are obviously critical appointments that last for decades. ....
Comment preview: I'm not sure if this counts, but after my wedding I let myself go for like 6 months. I only worked out once or twice a week, which is NOT enough to keep up with my eating habits. I gained 7lb, lost a ton of strength, and felt terrible about my body by the ....
Comment preview: Firstly, why would you bust your ass for 8 hours a day? In a socialistic society, work would likely be divided far more evenly among the larger populace (for example: many countries in Europe have enacted through law a 35-hour work week). One of the bigg ....
Comment preview: Seriously, this thread is full of some of the mildest rejections I've ever heard of. I wish that my biggest fails were this easy. The bold one is kind of bad, and but the bolded/italicized one is the only story that even belongs in this thread. Top 10 Fail ....
Comment preview: I'm glad to see this discussed. Lag is a huge issue, something that 99% of players I've talked to have run into. The lobby is kind of glitchy as well. I can't imagine how bad it'll be once regular purchasers and the weekend crowd hop on, if this isn't fixe ....
Comment preview: I always assume that those who liked B&W were really young and that was their introduction to him or something. The pets in those games were idiots and never did learn properly. That entire game was an exercise in frustration as you are tasked with in ....
Comment preview: I remember when I was about 7, I tried to prank my parents by making them think I got locked in the bathroom. I put a walkie talkie on the vanity so it would make it sound like I was in there. In order to lock the door, I tied a string to old lock, closed ....
Comment preview: I told this story on a similar thread a few months ago: "I remember when I was about 7, I tried to prank my parents by making them think I got locked in the bathroom. I put a walkie talkie on the vanity so it would make it sound like I was in there. In ord ....
Comment preview: I agree, but I would like to point out one positive thing about the US education system which is often over looked. There are many flaws with the US education system which tend to dwarf this one truly amazing fact and are the topic of conversation often, a ....
Comment preview: The problem with Blizzard is they made one extremely popular game and that changed how they made the rest of their games. WoW is a walled garden, it's a game that's played by their rules and it's extremely fun when you do. They carefully manage every aspec ....
Comment preview: Don't do a blind playthrough. You'll only frustrate yourself. Dark Souls' biggest failing is how little it explains. You don't want to hold the player's hand, for sure, but not telling them a damn thing aside from basic controls isn't right either. It's fa ....
Comment preview: Yup, I'm just gonna outright say I hate all 4 reworks they did this patch. Garen and Darius have the same problems they did before of being kited forever, they're not any more satisfying to play, they just got more power so that melees get destroyed by the ....
Comment preview: As someone who didn t like the first Equestria Girls movie much, I have to say... [](/sp) This was waaaay better. [](/sp) This hit a lot of the problems I had with the first movie. It started out in the human world, only went to Equestria for a minute or t ....
Comment preview: Yeah, they are not blinded by love, which in a sense is an advantage, but the biggest failing that /r/relationships has is that most of the commenters have zero appreciation for nuance, restraint, or subtlety. You basically get two types of posts. Number 1 ....
Comment preview: I personally feel that the other members of the kink community here seem rather eager to decry Frank's actions as those of an irresponsible Master. While I don't agree with many of his choices about how to treat his sub, as a Dom myself I recognize the dif ....
Comment preview: I bought SimCity 2013, and I bought this one. So unlike many others here, I know from personal experience precisely why and how SimCity failed. I've been playing Cities: Skylines all day now. This game is literally everything SimCity 2013 was promised to b ....
Comment preview: I quite enjoyed Twilight Princess, more than most games, but as a Zelda game, I think it fails. I was talking about this recently on reddit, so being lazy i'll just regurgitate that: > To me, what made Zelda so great were the little touches, the side mi ....
Comment preview: Wow, I'm not sure what to make of this story. I'll be honest; this seems like a perfect case of revisionist history. You are trying to make your story sound Red Pill because you have learned about it so you're trying to portray these events in your new min ....
Comment preview: You know, anyone else sort of agree with Tom McShea on a number of control issues on Skyward Sword? The game doesn't use the pointer at all, it fakes the pointer by using the Gyros. This is fucking COOL ASS tech. But they don't mention it anywhere, so it ....
Comment preview: #Teamwork This is the stuff that solo queue will never teach you. Teamwork refers to skills required for being part of a team. Assertiveness (*ART) If you have something to say, say it. But, some people can t do this. And, it s a detriment to their fives t ....
Comment preview: The tone of the video post obviously is heavily against the later releases of TES, and heavily against the "consoleification" and "casualization" of the series, with very little mention of the good things that have made me a casual fan of TES, to a die-har ....
