    He was a better writer when he was on massive amounts of drugs and alcohol.

      Sometimes. Ever read the story the movie Lawnmower Man wasn’t actually based on even though it says it was?

      There was definitely such a thing as Stephen King doing too much cocaine.

        Yes, there’s that but most his stuff since he’s gotten sober has been pretty mediocre.

            Tbf, even the worst lemmy user pales in comparison to the worst users of other platforms like elon and spez.

              Considering a couple of people in the thread being discussed reference a different thread where they decided I was a pedophile because I have a photo of my daughter naked when she was a newborn, I think some people here think I’m worse.

                It’s such a weird slice of society that always equate nudity with sexuality, even in babies/kids. “Weird” being the kindest word I can find.

                  The funny thing was that none of them had kids.

                    Not coincidental, I’d guess. If you haven’t had kids, you likely haven’t realized that dealing with naked kids is just part of the job. It’s not like they’re self cleaning.

              Yeah, homey hasn’t founded any jailbait subs, a fatpeoplehate iteration, lolicon discussion, not even a single racial slur community modded. Downright lazy in comparison to the cream of the reddit degen crop.

      Philip K Dick too. On drugs, whimsical, thought provoking, melancholy. Dick when sober? Unfathomably terrifying existential dread.
