The books that you find in the store might only state one author, but most books have a lot of people contributing to them - professional editors, friends providing feedback, writer's groups, etc.
Some books, like Nelson Mandella's Long Walk to Freedom were completely ghostwritten, something that bothered him - he was working on his own real autobiography when he died.
Moral is, writing is a work and a process, not an act of sudden genius.

Funny. I was just thinking of Malice, kinda drunkenly staring off into space/at the wall when I snapped to and refreshed the page and saw this thread. Reading it, and seeing you mention Malice was kind of a, "whoa, weird." moment. Hah.
That said, I've been through plenty of grief in my life. The passing of my mother when I was 15, the immediate aftermath of an alcoholic father who was struggling with his own grief, drug addiction, suicidal contemplations, depression, prison sentences, all a form of grief. It's taken me years and years, truly, a decade, to come to terms with these things. I don't bottle it up inside though. I share my feelings and grief with those around me. I luckily have a loving wife who also lost her father the same year I lost my mother, so we share that grief and lean on each other. I have a strong family support system who was there throughout my drug addictions and prison and saw me through the end of it all.
I do agree with you though. People suffering through grief, whether it be something in their personal lives or even as a "faceless no one" on a website you go to that while you know what they look like, sound like maybe, you've never met them. You've never shaken their hand. Never hugged them. Never kissed them, in some cases. Like Malice. People should, in general, be more expressive of the feelings they feel because to bottle it up inside and try to suppress it always forces it to leak out in other, usually negative ways like drugs or alcohol or other self destructive behaviors.

I hadn't planned on it
judging by the thumbnail it talks about how the democrat and republican parties 'switched sides' over time, and how republicans were the first to abolish slavery and elect blacks to the senate/congress

this is the wrong thinking, the thinking of old.
those who lives in a glass house should monopolize the rock supply and be the authority that dictates how and how not rocks should be used and by whom.

Another typical liberal response to facts. Call the information shit, offer no proof that it's shit, and close with a vulgar remark.
There is no meaningful "information" in the video to speak of. There is a jedi american PR dude from an SF VC speculating on the result of like a two sentence description of Israeli economic history. I'm not calling it shit, I'm saying there isn't even anything to discuss, no criticism of socialism is even offered. The issue isn't with the information, it's that you've drawn a conclusion from un-interesting non-journalism that isn't at all supported by even the "data" you've presented.

After World War Two, the US government hired the very same German scientists who ran live tests on and dissected young children for years. Not only that, they gave them a ton of cash, a nice cushy property and house, and everything they asked for. The US government is not some righteous Jesus-type, it's a despicable, deplorable, shameless and especially corrupt criminal organization. They don't give a rat's ass that some poor sap got brutally murdered.
Everyone knows about Operation Paperclip.
Less people know that they absorbed the infamous Unit 731 and used their bioweapons research on civilians in Korea and China to cover their withdrawal in the Korean War

It's crazy to think that people develop entire languages with grammar rules and past tenses and masculine feminine, for the sake of a book, that's dedication.

You can recite almost anything you want in Quenya and Sindarin. It's a well developed language, with a script as well, that a lot of people have learned and there are teaching courses for it. Adûnaic is not complete, and Black speech I think it's a language devised for fictional settings? Not sure about it but there isn't much written in that language, except for the One Ring inscription?
I actually wanted to learn Quenya and Sindarin, though I know some words from the books. I kinda regreat now not doing it. I know I don't need it, but it's a beautiful language. And hey, my friend learned Aramaic for no reason at all, just cause she liked it. lol

Malice killed himself because he was brown and never went outside. Typing mean things to someone incapable of empathy over the internet had nothing to do with it and I don't recall you even cyberbullying him. You just want validation for your basement dwelling fake weed and starter fluid huffing bubble yum life. You have no power over anything. Post screenshots of you successfully cyber bullying him or forever remain a victim
