Unsolicited writing advice, no. 2063: When creating characters, bear in mind that most readers don’t relate well to perfection. Even a kind, good person has flaws. Work them out early. Figure out how they affect your protagonist’s behaviour. Are they unaware of their flaws? Even better. Use that.

The protagonist is written (by David Mamet, speaking of aging badly) as a damaged but fundamentally decent guy, someone to root for despite his flaws.
But our tolerance for ‘flaws’ like abuse and alcoholism has expired. So you end up gaping at the sheer entitlement of this asshole the whole movie.

Respect is looking at someone again and again despite knowing what you’ll see, even the flaws. Maybe even especially the flaws. Respect is looking at someone again and again and knowing they’ll look back at you too. Even though they see the flaws. Maybe even especially because they see the flaws.

Voters were able to overcome big flaws — like the outsized influence of campaign donations — in our political system this year. Now is the time to reform those flaws. Watch The Briefing with Michael Waldman: bit.ly/48F8pSe

The Schumer/Van Hollen divide exposes a problem in how Dems think about Majority Leader. Schumer has shown leadership (not without flaws) in election strategy. But shouldn't Majority Leader be about leadership in governance? If you only have the next election in mind, nothing will ever get done.
NEW: Sen. Chris Van Hollen says he will challenge Sen. Chuck Schumer for majority leader
"It’s now on us to meet this moment, and to do that we need new leadership. This is not about any one person — it’s about answering the call of the American people."

Jeffries has flaws and is not above letting them influence how he leads, but the worst Jeffries will do is not whip *for* what the base wants, and his default is to whip, not just count.

its such an interesting phenomenon how games that are very tightly written with very little flaws can give you much less brainworms than a 6-7/10 game with very ambitious ideas but very dubiously executed

Herein lies the secret to a successful marriage. She accepts my flaws & subsequent denials of flaws as part of my intrinsic capability in other areas.
I dunno what they are, probably raw survival instinct & the ability to be indifferent to events.

Being obsessed with your own flaws isn't honest, isn't constructive, and feels like shit. You become insensitive to people who aren't as far along as you, and nobody farther along has any empathy for you. Net losses on all fronts. Advocate for yourself like you're the only mf in the world who can
I'm begging artists at large, please for the love of god, for all of us, develop confidence in yourself and self respect. The amounts of artists I see that just dog on themselves, or who let themselves be walked all over is truly disheartening. PLEASE, believe in yourself, ffs.

when I was tech lead, I knew which parts of the codebase I needed to pay careful attention to, and reviewed 100% of that. And pointed out flaws before they made it into I&T - flaws that passed automated tests but were fatal to the overall system itself.
That level is knowledge is now likely gone.
