Since there is a link on the left, and I recall a screenshot of someone with it in the background, why is Discord so popular all of a sudden? I've never used it, but people seemed to suddenly shift from TS to it. Is this another 'flavor of the month' scenario, or is it likely to retain the userbase?

It's been a around for a year or two now. It's servers also come with a wall of sorts like face book which is nice and is free vs having to pay for a server for TS. It also has a friends list built in so you can message people there and a browser based version so people don't need to download anything to make use of it. The voice quality is a bit lower but nothing that I notice personally so it's just a much more convenient option for most people.
So I started drinking perrier with my espresso. It really does help bring out more flavor from the coffee, but it's so pricey. Might have to buy one of those Italian soda makers to carbonate my own water
It's a shame fanfiction gets such a bad rap (wrap?). Sure, there's garbage included, but there is also a good percentage of people that know what they are doing. In some cases, they're even successful, published authors.

It's because the vast majority of fanfics involve Mary Sues that walk into a storyline with odd explanations, random sex scenes, killing off characters they don't like, and the fact that Duck Dynasty fanfics exist. Google it, it's real.

Yep. Despite all that though, I think the overall quality has actually gone up in the last few years. You just have to be willing to sift through the junk. That's one of the main reasons I typically don't read fics with fewer than 10k words, and for certain fandoms, even 100k words(unless it's by an author that I know is good).

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
