Idk, I read a lot and this is never an issue for me. Is it really such a hassle to reconstruct your mental image of something? I'm constantly considering and imagining characters as different builds, dressed differently, sounding differently, depending on how the context of the scene paints them. And by the end of the book I have a pretty firm mental image of what the character is like, born of a thousand iterations which finally and slowly merged into a cohesive whole.

You can just tell me what a character looks like down to the specific material of the buttons on their shirt, but that loses out on a certain amount of speculation and imagination. If a character who has so far had no reason to perform extraordinary physical feats suddenly finds it necessary--and possible--to lift an immense object, for example, my mental image is like "oh wait so he's jacked" which introduces a kind of 'twist' entirely in omission.

Being a lighthouse keeper definitely has a certain appeal, but yeah I definitely wouldn't want it to be my lighthouse that I'm expected to pay to have maintained lol

It's pretty much the worst kind of house to have, enjoyable only by the ultra wealthy who visit every once in a while and leave it otherwise uninhabited. Having to take a fucking boat to get groceries or do anything sucks ass, saltwater-air is bad for basically everything humans make, etc etc.

Cocaine + the gym, incidentally, sounds like it probably would work pretty well. And also possibly kill you.

We really don't need to worry about "coming off like a trump supporter" because anyone here who thinks for half a second can tell there are no trump supporters here

Also going to the gym is a terrible and extraordinarily difficult way to try to lose weight. If you want to lose weight you really need to go to the source and eat less

Finally! I'm not alone! We experimental homunculi gotta stick together and stand up for our rights to be filthy piggies

Unable to give any logical explanations for such atrocities

Uh, no, the logical explanation is that it

A. Didn't happen (95% probability)

B. Did happen and your shitty fascist grandpa deserved it (4.9% probability)

C. Happened and it sucked, war is messy (0.1% probability)
