Holy shit it is bleak. There are three Harry Potter books in there and two Hunger Games books in there in the top 10 best books.
Then you compare it to the best books of the 20th century ( still one harry potter book in there in top 10 but they are still doing way better than the 21st century.
How did the quality of the "greatest" works fall down so quickly. It is like humanity has forgotten how to write anything with any depth anymore and it is all at the level of quality of teenage story writing.
Is it simply over for the writing genre as a whole or is it that the best quality writing is actually no longer being recognized as the best because it didn't sell enough copies nor got enough appreciation from writing critics, or is it that there is a complete disconnect between what the average person considers enjoyable writing and what is considered actually good high brow writing?
I think it is a shift in medium where all the people looking for depth and high quality in their literary works moved on to movies and video games instead and all who are still hanging around the writing genre are those who will pick a random niche and the general books based on lowest common denominator which is teenage angst or teenage wonderment slop.
What this means is that the writing genre is going to keep going further down in quality over time and we need to look at the possible extinction of reading one day if everything turns out to be possible to be done by video because people are clearly getting worse at appreciating literature while getting a whole lot better at their expectations and appreciation of better video entertainment content.
Conclusion:
In terms of ease of entry into the writing department this is the easiest time period. In terms of making money from it, likely one of the harder time periods. We can expect the quality of writing meant for general audiences to have reached the lowest floor and never rise above it again this generation. The Zoom zooms are too r-slurred when it comes to quality writing in just a book.
Also if you still read Harry Potter books, READ ANOTHER BOOK!

So my wife (29f) and i (28m) have been together with the exception of a long break when we were 18 and 19 for 10 years. (She left me for another guy) and every year or two since we've been back together i keep finding things on her phone. The first was a fetlife account where she was chatting with multiple men. The second was a coworker she was speaking explicitly with. Third she asked a random neighbor out for coffee in our apartment complex in a flirting manner. And finally this. I found nudes of her that I'd never seen before, and looked in the deleted pictures on her phone and found pictures of another man's nudes.
We've had some rough patched with my finances and depression as well as hers. I must admit I was feeling sexually frustrated last year and went to a "massage parlor" but didn't go through with the end part. And she found out. She's insists that nothing has become physical any of these times and would leave if she were going to go through with it, because she did when thats what she wanted.
Our relationship is great except for this horrible bi annual ritual of her seeking attention. She makes the money In the relationship and I'm very limited in my capacity to support myself for any sort of trial separation. I don't want to leave. I love her. But I feel I need to advocate for myself despite my own wrongdoings. I feel so trapped and hopeless.
Came across this amazing post. But what's even funnier is if you visit his profile and see the only other post he's made:
This might be the dumbest man on Earth.
Oh, he's from Portland? She's not cheating on him; he's just unknowingly in a poly relationship.

My Chud feed is out of control! Of all the videos it could have shown me, they could choose this one lol... Surprisingly though, not many noticers as I think they were drowned out by all the women arguing with one another.
1. "you mean plating a meal... not cooking"
"she didn't say she made it"
posts screenshot of the video clearly stating that she made it
2. "making lunch... LOL!"
"be nice... we should support our fellow Moms"
"you must have raised her!"
3. "I can't even watch this... so unhealthy"
"Okay Karen"
"you don't even look like you eat healthy!"
4. "maybe learn to wash dishes first..."
"who are you to talk? flat back Betty!"
5. "I'm Asian and I think this is okay"
"then you not real Asian"
6.
"is that paper plates..."
"most women in the USA work, hence the paper plates"
"you lazy F*cks..."
Noticer 1. "I want to see her kids..."
Noticer 2. "watermelon... chicken... NEVER has the kids in her videos... I'm noticing!"
"racist"
(Soy) Noticer 3. "this is the most racist video I've seen all day!"
"I was looking for Kool Aid and grape soda"

Today had a bit of an interesting development.
Quick reminder for those who forgot because a flew a helicopter into your cerebral cortex
Hermitcraft, upon receiving the proof that Iskall dared to flirt with adult women in private, gave the man 90 mins to respond before axing him and scorching his career
Several Hermitcraft members have come out to post on Twitter, and Twitter in response to Iskall's video talking about his "cancellation"
All of these are vague and nebulous, but very obvious what they are referencing.
Welsknight Gaming
That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
-Dayna Craig, "The Narcissist's Prayer"
What an interesting thing to say...
He's essentially saying that Iskall deserves to have his income and reputation uprooted without even caring to hear what his side of the story.
Also interesting to note that Welsknight is barely even part of Hermitcraft as it is, his last upload being over 6 months ago. Only uploading dogshit 2012 lets plays nobody gives a shit about.

I guess even blue sky wasn't safe enough.
Interesting that she calls him a liar, but I have no idea what he even arguably lied about in his video when he straight up confirms that he did flirt with women, and he just says it's my private life.
ImpulseSV
Great quote from a great movie:

βIt's funny how all living organisms are alike...when the chips are down, when the pressure is on, every creature on the face of the Earth is interested in one thing and one thing only. itβs own survival.β
(In the voice of Skizz) Name it!
Once again calling him a liar, but not sure what the frick he lied about....
Also very interesting to pick a quote which frames you as the one trying to destroy the "organisms life". Thats a bad look sweaty

Yeah that awful thing Iskall did by flirting with women.... He's gaslamping you into thinking it's normal....
Additional reply from GeminiTay to above tweet
hehe were so quirky!!! Lucky movie references cant be used in a deformation lawsuit against a public figure teehee
And as all these tweets came out at the same time, it's very obvious this is coordinated and not just me being a schizo
In fact people mention this in the comments to Scar's tweet as well.
... I thought scar already had a steel chair
All of this vague posting is like a Teenage girl posting "deep" lyrics on her Facebook after a break-up
Genuinely pathetic. I'd respect them a lot more if they just straight up tweeted "Iskall keep yourself safe"
But yes this continues to be crazy how big of a response and attempt to erase the mans reputation of seemingly nothing.
I kind of want to believe there's some truly horrid stuff we don't know about that is the cause behind this awful behavior.
But the Minecraft space is filled with the worse people possible that it's entirely likely they are all just backstabbing snakes all the way through.

A Dolly Parton-themed musical had to be suspended mid-show when homophobic abuse was hurled at the stage, an actor in the production has claimed.
Stevie Webb said an incident at the Opera House in Manchester during Here You Come Again saw the whole cast "leave the stage, because a woman was so disgusted there was a gay character on the stage".
Mr Webb, who plays a superfan of the country music superstar in the show, said there had also been problems during the London run of the production.
He described an incident involving a man shouting an offensive slur and adding: "I just want to see Dolly Parton."
How gay must this gay character be if multiple attendees of a Dolly Parton musical are offended?

The embargo for reviews of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has lifted. We don't have a review on the site here at Polygon. This is not an editorial decision; we had hoped to review the game. On Jan. 2, Polygon requested a code for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 from Warhorse Studios, the studio behind the game, and received no response. On Jan. 7, we reached out to the PR firm working with Warhorse, who told us they were "not able to provide access. We'll let you know if this changes." We reached out to parent company Plaion on Jan. 9 as well β no response. On Jan. 10, we saw our peers publishing early previews for the game. We re-upped our request and were again told we would not be given access.
This was very unusual. But this was the situation that transpired with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. It can be difficult to tell when a studio's decision to withhold a code from a publication is intentional and personal. That's due in part to the fact that the process for getting advance review codes is about as rote and administrative as it gets. Sometimes, PR firms working for studios send us codes unsolicited in hopes we'll cover the game in question. Other times, we request codes from the game's representatives ourselves, several weeks ahead of the release date, and we get those codes when and if they are available.
As part of our final request for code on Jan. 10, Polygon's editor-in-chief Chris Plante contacted Plaion and Warhorse's PR firm to get a comment as to why we were denied advance access to the game. He stressed in his message that our hope is that this decision wasn't due to any personal bias against Polygon, nor motivated by any of our previous coverage of games made by Warhorse or any other. In short, we wanted to know: Was Polygon being blacklisted?
On Jan. 10, we did receive a response to this request stating that we could get one code for the game on launch day, Feb. 4. We did not receive any clarification as to how this decision was made. Nor did we receive the requested clarification on why the developers of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 declined to provide Polygon access to the game.
Because we will not receive access to this game until its public release, our review is nonetheless forthcoming but will not be published in time for its release date. We look forward to telling you more about this game in the weeks to come.
KIA Gloats
And now, for the why. From Charlie Hall's review (12 February 2018)
"The game is also not without its controversies. Warhorse is a team of more than 150 people, but the game's creative director has gone out of his way to rationalize his support of G*merGate, a loosely knit hate group that has devoted time to harassing women, people of color and journ*lists in the past. So outspoken is the studio's leadership on cultural issues that they have found it necessary to work with a German outlet to publish anti-fascist, anti-sexist and anti-racist statements prior to their game's launch."
Thank you for that completely unnecessary bank-shot that turned a poor review into a politically motivated hit piece. And you wonder why they weren't lining up for more of that?

When you goon you're performing a political act and the way you coom says a lot about you, your values, and your place in a shared community. We need to take your views and considerations into account when designing a equitable future for our children. However, when it's time for COOM. There's no need for any of that. You don't even need clothes. Just bring your hands.
For centuries we've had debates on how to handle the powers of COOM. Some cultures let GOONERs run free, as you see with the Sentinelese. They live the perfect life for gooners. NAKED all day long. Boobas on display. No work, no insurance, no renewing medical aid schemes, no Alexander Forbes foundation, just coom. Other cultures have tried to hold back gooners, eventually these became traditions like marriage and with that, r*pe became illegal which changed the game for gooners forever. That began the evolutionary arms race between GOONERS and FEDS. And if that's not bad enough, you've got to worry about OPPs trying to take your GOONING customers from you bruh. You can't learn the coom hustle in school you've got to live this shit aint no textbooks on gooning like we goon in this b-word.
Nah but Imma keep it 100% wichu this site good ya'll lil bros doing ya'lls thang just don't get too big for your boots. And remember to pay respects to the fallen soldiers in prison, dead, we've lost a lot of good brothers to this goon shit for real. We need unity. Aight imma light this blunt and goon hard. Shit's good as frick yo. Can't stop gooning. How much do you goon?
Now lastly, you gotta remember we categorize our gooners as either: organized, disorganized and mixed. My organized gooners got COOM calenders and sheeit. they're all about that OPSEC because they're paranoid about the feds. Me? I'm a DISORGANIZED coomer. If I meet with the feds I'm gooning it out and until then, I'm gonna EJACULATE BLOOD WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
Stay cumming for real. And PIRATE your PORN DON'T PAY NOT ONE DIME SHARE THAT SHIT NEIGHBOR
