This is a gross misrepresentation. The nazi debts were accumulated to build up a war economy in order to go to war. The plan probably always was to pay it off (or at least maintain it) through looting, but they did not take on the debt to appease the people. Exactly none of it went into improving people's lifes.

From what you hear it's that they have bills to pay. If a publisher doesn't know your name, they're not going to assume it's an automatic best-seller so they're less likely to actually look at your work to see if it's worth it.

Also, to pay your bills before the publisher actually prints the book, you have to find one way ahead of you finishing the book, meaning that you have to send them an unfinished manuscript, further hurting your chances - but if they like it you get that money before it's done, with the caveat that they're gonna sue if you don't deliver.

So let's not invent a shield that can stop any fast incoming forces using arcane physical effects... Heard that turns out badly

To expand on this: mutations between generations happen exactly there, between generations. So the parents of the "first" chicken (if you draw the line somewhere on the evolutionary scale) were not chicken; the egg however was a chicken egg, as it contained a chicken.

But social media is an essential industry in how opinions are formed.

What is that map though

Small niche subs are the only reason I'm still using reddit. Not the main subs, again bots are the problem, but small niches are unfortunately slow to migrate to an entirely new platform because it's not guaranteed that the community comes with it (unlike large generic subs like memes, which has a very general audience)

Why did I have to scroll down so far for le hidden gem?

Sure they are different, but if somehow someone finds out just one password of yours, all others are broken too, right?
