@MonicaCellio I think a lot of people look at Wikipedia as a guilty pleasure. I know I do.

@MonicaCellio excellent. I wish we'd had this back when we had the scheduled chatroom events.

@MonicaCellio - How did you make that writing challenge meta question into a community event? My first thought was "wow, SW AI is getting really good. :D Then I saw your comment.

@BESW That was an amazing movie, and that documentary is quite good. Saw it a while back, I think on the DVD...?

I've been eyeing Primus's album about charlie and the chocolate factory, it looks pretty weird and cool.

My daughter's a bit of a TV junkie while she gets over her cold, which may have informed my choice of topic. :D

We reopened this and @MarkBaker made it less of a question jamming on what to write and a better question for Writers. A lot of the answers are out of date, now. Anyone want to take a stab at editing answers?

Q: How can I have a war with no "good" or "evil" side?

Aric FowlerI'm conceptualising a story involving two heroes who go on an epic journey and return bitter rivals etc. etc. and form their own forces in a sort of civil war. My issue is that I want them to both be on the "good" side. How can I write a story in which both sides are "good". I want to somehow ma...

@KitZ.Fox Sounds like there' gonna be identity confusion with this. "Hold off, am I Mom? Am I her son? Help, I'm feeling like... wait a minute, Mom did this."

Writing mod here. Thanks for taking this conversation off the main site. I was fine with it until the discussion started degenerating into name-calling. I don't see any benefit to the site in unfreezing this room.

Hey, anyone in the NJ/NYC area want to buy my Burley Minnow? It's a one-kid trailer (I upgraded to a bigger one) and less than a year old. Asking $200.

@Criggie I used some yellow safety glasses for a while and they were quite nice at night, I think they increase contrast in low light. The ones I ordered have an amber/orange tint, we'll see how that does.

I used a pair of these‌​ a few years beck. They kept my eyes amazingly warm, and the interchangeable lenses are great, but they fog up a lot and never quite fit me right.
Neil Fein

Most importantly the Smith Optics I got has vents and purportedly don't fog up. They're inexpensive and good starter goggles.

They won't work for riding at night but I don't do all that much of that these days, and the night riding I do is mostly less than a mile or so; I can just use regular glasses for anything that short.

@Batman @Criggie @alex I ordered a pair of these for now.

My sister's family does a lot of skiing, gonna ask them next time I see them. Just thought of that.

@Criggie there are a few that have bents to prevent digging, gonna try looking for that.

I'll keep an eye on the tint, thanks for that

Hey, anyone here have a set of ski goggles they can recommend? I'm looking for some for cold-weather riding.

@MichaelKjörling I'd add that if this question were asking how to write a good answer on this site it'd clearly be a meta question; but since it's broader than that, I'm of the opinion it's more of a meta-ish-writing question than a writers-meta-question.
