so basically im not the best at writing, but i got good ideas and i wanna open this up so others can build and expand on this lore you see, just for context in lore in 2025 rifts opened up all across the world and demons invaded the earth to colonise it, and their parts are used in barter economy often, theres multiple kingdoms and the demon parts are very useful like bones can be sharpened into very sharp spears and swords which can penetrate the thick hides because many demons have thick guides, im thinking we call this lore the rifts from hell, or hell on earth and we make it like SCP or the backrooms so anyone can add to it and also you cannot usually kill demons with conventional weapons, some like zombies sure but other entities you need like anti tank guns and such, but almost every demon is killable, not always but many of them, after this i will post the document in a seperate post copy paste

never mind.
after finally sitting down to read your "lore dump" I can tell this is a poorly thought out half assed daydream that you expect someone else to flesh out.
Also
>the narrator is
Nigga, you ain't wrote anything yet, what the fuck do you mean the narrator?
>im thinking we do 13 episodes
I'm thinking you are delutional.
13 episodes of what?
Who is this "we" you speak of.


Rather than be totally critical I will offer some well intentioned advice at this point.

Actually try to write a full story of some sort set in the world.
One with a solid beginning, middle, and end. Be it a short story, a novella, or script. As long as it's a full story that is long enough that it forces you to mentally flesh out the world from at least one charicter's POV.
This will dramatically improve your world building and create a foundation for others build off of.

Right now you don't have lore.
You have a loose undeveloped scattering of ideas.

pur hero, the narrator of the story, is a demon hunter/wayfarer. he hates the demons because they killed his family and now he just want to kill demons as much as he can and also bring back demons where they come from.
there's a rumor about an ancient grimoire that can enslave demons and make them grand your wish (they can't refuse when enslaved), the book was made by an old magician long long time ago named Solomon.
the story of Solomon goes like this.
in distant times, looooooooong time ago, demons invaded earth (like in 2025) and enslaved humans. but someone stood up , Solomon, he found a technique to seal the demons in objects and in his book and send the demons and their kings in hell.
some says this story is fake but our hero believe that book exists and can help win against the demon. some says the narrator is crazy but thats the only way to deal with the demons, there's isn't much to do.
The hero, the narrator, hunts down demons to save people from them. he also need money so he goes to abandonned building to search for eletronic devices of value to sell them.
what do you think OP?

According to my spreadsheet projections, renting at $400 per week allows your assets to last approximately 17 years.

If you purchase a home for $325,000, your funds would last about 9 years; at $375,000, about 4 years; and at $400,000, only 1 to 2 years. The break even point where both renting and buying yield the same financial longevity, is around a $260,000 purchase price. If you purchase below this threshold, buying becomes the more financially sustainable option; if the purchase is above it, renting becomes more viable.

However If you buy a home for $325,000, you live in it without paying rent, but you still cover all ownership and living costs. Based on your financial model, your liquid assets would last about 9 years. At that point, you would have very little cash left but you still own the home.

If you then sell the home for $350,000 and lose 4% ($14,000) in agent and legal fees, you’re left with around $336,000. This new cash gives you a chance to “reset” and return to the renting scenario.

When you switch to renting from year 10 onward, you now pay $400/week in rent again, plus the same living costs you had before. Based on your spreadsheet’s cost structure and inflation, this $336,000 lasts for another 8 to 9 years.
Altogether, that gives you a total of about 17 to 18 years of financial runway: 9 years owning, followed by another 8 to 9 years renting after the sale. That’s roughly the same duration as if you had just rented from the beginning but with the benefit of housing security and stability in the first half.

The elite would rather start World War 3 than admit that the Epstein list is merely the tip of the iceberg and that they are literally programming certain spiritually gifted children from birth, aka the GATE program, to be superhumans. It's like how the Jedi kidnapped children and then brainwashed them in the Jedi temple. The Sith were the heroes after all. The Jedi are literal pedophiles.

Taxi fares can and do reach upward of $30 for 2 miles in the wrong context. Grocery home delivery - in the rare cases when it's available - is likely to be cheaper, but this typically requires a credit card which requires you to have demonstrated enough financial competence for it not to itself be a monumental ripoff.

And proximity to retailers is absolutely a factor in home prices, so once again if you have the capital to pay costs up front, you end up with more and better options.

Dorito delivery only needs a debit card, usually either Visa or Mastercard. Anyone can get infinite of these because they don't lend any money and cost upwards of $4.95/m. No risk to the bank. Wizards can get pre-payed ones that aren't reloadable.

I have manga and books but I don't want to read them because I'm afraid to move on to something bigger if I read. I also don't want to waste my time but I stay on internet 24/24 7/7. it is a weird effect: when I'm on internet, I see it like a virtue and something good being on internet but when I want to do an hobby (read, play video game, drawing, etc..) I see it as a waste of time…it should be contrary, I don't know why I am lile this.
I wanted to ask you, wizards, how do you make yourself read books?(mostly about the hobby: reading)

I don't understand what an OS is. why are there several OS? does this mean that one OS is worse than another? Yet each OS does the same thing: start programs. why then create different OS if they all do the same thing? Why is Linux favored by computer enthusiasts instead of Mac OS and Windows? Does one OS do something different that another OS doesn't? why Linux can't launch video games (I hear that often). how different OS; all execute applications in the same way, why create another (OS)
These are questions that I ask myself about OS because it interests me but even after seeing some videos and sites talking about OS to explain it, I still had questions and things to know.
If you know about computers very well, can you try to answer my questions, please?

Well, in my terms…

OS

* your applications you would like to run

and

* the hardware of your computer, that can calculate the math behind both your apps and computer's peripherals at the same time.

>Remember that all of the standards DOS, Windows and to an extent Mac use were the established standard for decades, and it were Linux developers who sought to reinvent the wheel
but it's literally the opposite of this. Linux largely follows the conventions of OS design laid down in the old Unixes that inspired most modern OS's while Windows is a bloated mess of incoherent corporate decision making that only makes sense to people already mindbroken by Windows.

Look at any comparison of all modern operating systems and Windows will always be the odd one out.

Why do Baby Boomers seem to have no taste for movies before their time? Not even before their time, but before their 20s or even 30s. In my personal life I've never seen one bother with any movie from before 1965, or even before 1970 for a lot of them, and they all speak of old movies from before then with a tone of total contempt. They grew up with old cowboy movies and seeing John Wayne, but as adults seem to have zero nostalgia for those films.

Contrast that with Millennials, and even older zoomers, who grew up watching 80s movies, and remember them fondly and still soyface over them hard. 1980 is as far away from the present as 1935 is to 1980.

Was stuff like Casablanca and Little Shop Around the Corner playing on TV all the time in the 1980s? It just seemed like the late 1960s was a hard cultural reset and for that generation, they put away their childhood to a degree Millennials never did, to a point where they don't even venture into that territory at all for nostalgia.

Like I'm sure some of it is young people are peter pan syndrome man-children who can't move on, but at the other end it's uncanny that all the fondness boomers have for culture comes from their early adult life instead of childhood.

My opinion is, 1950s/1960s movies and muzik were divided in 2 categories:


* movie theaters grade color movies + background music for malls like Muzak


* soap operas on 1950s tellies + traditional pop on the radio, "adult contemporary" beautiful music/easy listening


Both were, probably, overused.

Besides, Star Trek and Star Wars have changed the game of drama by employing merch.

The baby boomers mostly grew up in the 50s which was a time when Hollywood was struggling. After WW2 people had largely moved out of the cities, where theaters were the largest form of entertainment, and into suburbs where they partook in other hobbies. At the same time, the television was invented and popularized, which added competition to the movie industry. Compare this to the 80s-90s, when Hollywood was having a boom with major blockbusters, and VHS made it so that people at home could watch their favorite movies again and again. The younger generations also saw the rise of streaming services, where companies heavily leaned into nostalgia for advertising. Subscribe to Netflix and you can watch all your favorite movies from your childhood!

For what it's worth my boomer parents are both somewhat film buffs, especially my mom, and they showed me a lot of classics and interesting older films. I don't think they are typical examples of the generation though.
