Is that the best idea for a swish location that you could come up with? Couldn't imagine ever wanting to sit there. But that's just me. Why the obsession with trying to brag about finding weed even cheaper? It's down to $1 per gram already for decent buds. It cost even more than that 40 years ago when it was highly illegal. The price in Thailand has already dropped to about one-tenth of what it costs in other countries, making further reductions seem almost irrelevant. For the price of a single night out drinking in Bangkok, you can easily buy enough smoke to stay stoned every day for a month or two. Even if the price were to drop another 50%, would it really make much of a difference at this point?

Wow, look at that fragile ego go. 🤩 😂

Cut them up and make senior adult reusable diapers out of them. Then send them off to Trump as a gift. He will be forever grateful.

Seven pages of anecdotal, subjective opinions about Thai women from men who’ve mostly only been with a handful. Suddenly, everyone’s an expert on the subject just because they’ve had a few encounters. Honestly, it’s exhausting.

Whose erection is low? Mine is fine. I'll show it to you if you don't believe me! Give me a break!

An algorithm trained on a vast corpus of text, including books, academic papers, Wikipedia, online forums, and other resources, amounting to hundreds of gigabytes of data and representing millions of books and articles, should be well-equipped to assess your writing accurately. In this case, I would say that it's assessment nailed it.

You didn't want to accept my opinion about your posts as being a meaningful critique, so I provided you an analysis by an unbiased expert on the subject of literature and discourse. “Read ’em and weep” as they say.

It's much clearer now. You think that your tangential babbling about beer, security cameras, connecting monitors, power backup systems, and air conditioning puts you in the realm of Hemingway somehow. Well, I regret to inform you that you are rather alone on that one. I gave ChatGPT a list of the many recent topics you posted, as well as some of the actual drivel you posted for those topics, and here is how the AI sums it all up: Writing Style: 1. Verbose and Tangential: His writing tends to wander across multiple topics, often straying far from the central point. The posts are lengthy, with many details that could be omitted without losing the main idea. 2. Stream-of-Consciousness: His posts read like an internal monologue, with thoughts flowing unfiltered. This approach can make it challenging to discern the core message amidst the diversions. 3. Casual, Chatty Tone: His style is conversational, often informal and peppered with humor or rhetorical questions. While this makes his writing personal, it can feel unfocused or overly casual for readers seeking clarity. 4. Dramatic and Over-Explained: He often adds unnecessary embellishments or dramatizes simple points. This can be engaging for some readers but frustrating for those wanting concise communication. 5. Playful Yet Polarizing: The humor and eccentricity in his posts might appeal to a niche audience but alienate others. His self-deprecating tone and absurd analogies can feel entertaining or distracting, depending on the reader’s perspective. Literary Quality: 1. Choppy Sentence Structure: His writing relies heavily on short, disjointed sentences, which interrupt the flow and make his prose feel fragmented rather than fluid. This style can create a sense of urgency or spontaneity but often at the expense of coherence. 2. Excessive Formatting: Frequent line breaks, ellipses, and unnecessary punctuation create a chaotic visual presentation. These elements, intended to add drama or pacing, often make the text harder to follow. 3. Lack of Elegance: While he may aim for a conversational or even literary tone, the result falls far short of eloquence. The writing lacks polish, and the frequent interruptions in flow undermine any attempt at sophistication. 4. Hemingway Aspirations, Unfulfilled: His preference for short sentences and conversational style might evoke comparisons to Hemingway, but his execution is inconsistent and lacks Hemingway’s precision, emotional depth, and clarity. Instead, the writing feels cluttered and haphazard. 5. Overuse of Dramatic Elements: He leans into dramatic pauses, rhetorical questions, and exaggerated scenarios. While this may be intended to engage readers or add flair, it often feels forced and distracts from the substance of his points. Overall Impact: GammaGlobulin’s writing may connect with readers who enjoy quirky, personality-driven content. However, the fragmented structure, overuse of stylistic quirks, and lack of focus detract from its overall readability and literary quality. While he appears to view his writing as clever or engaging, the excessive formatting and choppy delivery can make it come across as amateurish and unpolished, leaving readers more frustrated than entertained.

Here we are in the pub and you want to talk about drinking rotten beer. Go for it. It’s all you.

Using a low powered 2014 smartphone in 2024. Bravo.

I’ve written for various media publication over the years. However, what I am writing here is intended merely for clear communication. So the writing style matches the intended purpose. But that’s not the point. Your writing style here is not academic, easy to follow, comprehend, nor does it demonstrate any gift of the prose. It is, and I regret to say, to the complete contrary. However, since you keep alluding to an author’s style that you claim to posses then go ahead and try that and see if using that improves the reception and admiration of your writing from others. I’m not expecting anything different from you though.

How would you know that? Have you tested every single NOTE model that's come out since 2014 in order to reach that conclusion? I think it's fair to say that a smartphone that is now running 10 year old technology cannot keep up with the latest innovations. The technology moves so fast.

There is a big difference between academic writing and writing that is well constructed, easy to read and comprehend. Unfortunately, none of your writing falls into either of those categories from what I've seen so far. Furthermore, my writing is far from academic, nor does it need to be. Concise and easy to comprehend is all that's necessary.

That's a very outdated model smartphone in 2024. It's probably also hindering your capabilities. I suggest you upgrade to a more capable model.

Fully agree. That's what I'm doing here.

Then you've probably come to the wrong place. Nearly every topic in The Pub turns into some sort of pissing match. In fact, one could argue that this is what the majority of the people actually come here for.

What you have written here, and in all your other posts, is not a writing style. I realize that you like to flatter yourself. But the truth is, this is just poor sentence structuring, written in a bullet point nature, with excessive use of dots that mean nothing, and I could go on. AI writing editors are used broadly now across the media world. So obviously they are considered useful and good at what they do. In fact, quite a number of the posts on this site, which carry a news theme, are in part at least written and/or edited by AI.

I fully disagree. There may be a few outliers, but the majority don't prefer it. This conclusion is based on comments that I've seen from others on your posts, as well as people specifically pointing out the challenges in comprehending your writing style. As I said, I am certainly not the first. So you have already gotten a number of responses from other people of a similar nature, but it's evident you've chosen to ignore all of the suggestions that were provided to you.

Following is in an edited version of your OP. Can you deny that this has much greater readability? --- Dear Friends, The recent tragedy abroad has been overwhelming, perhaps due to the victims’ youth, the randomness of the event, and the fact that these young people were simply pursuing their dreams of experiencing a foreign country for the first time. A well-planned first trip abroad can be invaluable for personal growth. In my view, homestay programs, such as those in Japan, offer a safer, more enriching experience than unsupervised activities. These programs provide cultural immersion, language training, and connections that often last a lifetime. When I was younger, I stayed with families in Japan and Taiwan. The friendships I formed are still strong today. Living with a host family allows for deep cultural understanding in a safe environment, unlike other less structured gap-year activities. Japan, in particular, is a country that prioritizes safety, and Japanese families often welcome guests out of a genuine interest in cultural exchange, not financial gain. I urge parents to consider homestay programs for their children. They’re safer, culturally enriching, and can even enhance résumés. Japan, with its safety and welcoming culture, is an ideal destination. For those interested, here are a few programs to explore: https://homestay-in-japan.com/ https://homestayinjapan.com/ Best regards, Gamma

How did you reach that conclusion? That sounds like another self fulfilling prophecy to me. Which is defined as what, other than terribly poor use of the written English language? Prove it. I doubt you're capable of writing anything that would be considered well thought out and properly constructed written English. If you had any real respect for others on this forum then you would be more selective about the topics that you post and you would make an effort to write in a way that doesn't challenge other readers so much. Presumably you're not really capable of writing good English, thus, as I suggested, rely upon an AI editor in order to help you to improve.

Aimed at whom and for what purpose? Did someone tell you that there are a large number of people reading posts in The Pub who are looking for sound advice on sending their children abroad, particularly to Japan for a cultural visit? Obviously not. So it’s just your own bizarre thoughts combined with a self-fulfilling prophecy and you are basically just babbling. Look at the topics in The Pub that get the most views and comments. That will give you a better idea of what people are interested in reading and discussing. Almost all the most viewed posts have to do with sex, aging, bar girls, Thai marriage problems, ladyboys, etc. Done. You could also seriously benefit from learning some skills on how to write using proper sentence structure, grammar, spacing, line breaks, etc., so that it isn’t so challenging and laborious for people to read your scribblings. The best thing you can do before posting something is run it through ChatGPT and ask it to edit, condense, and shorten your text. You can learn a lot that way about how to improve your writing skills, which are frankly nonexistent and resemble the thought patterns of someone with chronic cognitive issues.

Babbling rubbish.

Indeed. No worries, I'll be your friend. Just so you know, my boobs are off limits though.
