I bet rick fantasizes about tweets going viral instead of his books selling or meeting his daughter.

Can you imagine picking an avatard where you're pointing your finger at your temple and realizing there is literally no way to advertise your homosexuality more unless you literally just sucked a dick while taking it up the ass as your avatar?
Does he think this makes him look clever or something? Dude it doesn't. It makes you look like a dude who swallows sperm by the gallon.

Pretend journalist bashes the New York Times for not completely ridin' with Biden.
"Who I've written for many times". Three, Rick. You've written three letters to the editor that were published in their opinion section, that doesn't really count as writing for the paper and three doesn't count for many, we use the word few for that. He's a professional writer by the way.
Rick's "career" as a journalist
Here is one of his articles that the science minded in the thread might enjoy. It's what Rick thinks mining in space might look like.

Space Engineers is more close to what we can expect mining in space to be like than this dunce wrote.
If you're mining in space your insurance would be insane for starter. Traveling in space will be cheaper as well. Just look at how much Space X is going to charge compared to what Russia charges. You also don't need to use explosives in space, the meteors could be broken apart easily with either a pick or a mining laser. Also, you wouldn't care about the metals found in meteors unless you're building another star base. Mining for things like Helium-3 is better. The moment you start mining for the metals you'll drop the value of those metals just due to how much you could send back.
He also doesn't seem to know about the various space treaties.
He doesn't even get how long someone could stay in space, or the cost of training someone.

Pro-censorship Pat makes an appearance
Says the man who recently deleted over 1000 threats of rape and violence from his twitter.
Speaking of numbers on twitter, something suspicious happened with Pat's follower count today,
Nothing he tweeted yesterday went viral, he hasn't gone viral in years. Looks like he got his hands on his wife's credit card to top up that follower count again. Taxpayer money well spent!

That's what this fat bastard calls "many" times? Because in my book, the word to use here is "few." "Less." "Not so much."
Also "fat faggot."

I really have enjoyed watching twitlibs wail and gnash their teeth over the media actually reporting something vaguely resembling the reality on the ground in Afghanistan, all because it's not polesmoking and cheerleading for Biden.

Let's say we have a policy of censoring fascists (but not communists or other totalitarians of course). Who gets to decide what a fascist is? Why, Patrick and his Democrat friends of course. There's no way they would abuse that power to exclude legitimate opposing conservative/Republican viewpoints. No, not at all. When has that ever happened?

So I was reading a completely unrelated article about establishment journalists busting their asses and kissing others’, getting basically jack shit for it, and being butthurt about it. (Read here if interested) In it they had data from a survey done by the Author's Guild, which was apparently "the largest survey of US professional writers ever done." I thought it might give us a vague idea of what Rick's income might be like. All the data is from 2017. Survey
Some key points:
And a relevant tidbit from the original article:
"Writers have to constantly job hop just to try and grind out an extra $1,500 a year, making their whole lives permanent job interviews where they can’t risk offending their potential bosses and peers. Many of them dream of selling that book to save themselves financially, not seeming to understand that book advances have fallen 40% in 10 years - median figure now $6,080 - and that the odds of actually making back even that meager advance are slim, meaning most authors are making less than minimum wage from their books when you do the math. They have to tweet constantly for the good of their careers, or so they believe, which amounts to hundreds of hours of unpaid work a year."
Some key points:
- Largest survey of U.S. professional writers ever conducted, generating data from 5,067 published book authors
- The survey was fielded from June 7 to August 21, 2018
- 53% of those surveyed consider authoring books their primary occupation, spending half or more of their work time writing.
- 56% write fiction.
- 18% write literary fiction.
- 38% write genre fiction
- 9% publish books to advance their work or personal brand (thought-leadership). I would bet money Rick fancies himself a "thought leader" or hopes to be.
- Median incomes of all published authors who were surveyed—including part-time, full-time, traditionally published, self-published, and hybrid-published authors—for all writing-related activities[1] was $6,080, down 3% from four years ago. This is down from a $10,500 median income in 2009 according the Authors Guild’s last survey[2]. Worse still, the median income for all published authors based solely on book-related activities[3] fell from $3,900 to $3,100, down 21%, while full-time traditionally published authors earned $12,400.
- Median income for full-time authors for all writing-related activities, however, was $20,300 in 2017, up 3% from 2013. Note, however, that is still considerably lower than the $25,000 median income full-time authors earned in 2009
- Roughly 25% of all authors surveyed earned $0 in book-related income in 2017; 18% of full-time authors earned $0 in book-related income during the same time period. This is likely because of the decline in ongoing royalties for previously published work and the decreased ability to receive a decent (or any) advance for the next book.
- Inability to earn adequate living: indeed just 57% of full-time published authors derived 100% of their individual income from writing-related work in 2017, and much of that writing income comes from activities such as speaking engagements, the teaching of writing, editing or translating the works of other authors, ghostwriting, etc. rather from book advances and royalties. Only 21% of full-time published authors derived 100% of their individual income from book-related income.
And a relevant tidbit from the original article:

Reminder that professional sci-fi author Patrick S Tomlinson doesn't know what eclectic means, but still used it five times in his novel In The Black. He is also a fat man.

Unemployed college dropout gives his take on gang violence
Rick's foray into Hollywood continues
He truly is clueless about how the world works
He's still mourning for the blue twitter checkmark that he lost due to making death threats. He posts about that dumb checkmark more than he does about not being able to see his daughter.
"Six figure author" posts more images of his backyard.

Lmao imagine having such levels of anal anguish about not having a blue checkmark that literally means you're fucking retarded. That's literally what a blue checkmark means, it means you are a piece of shit. This moron wants one.

Jesus I thought my yard looked bad. I guess when you're so busy writing books you don't have time for housekeeping. I guess that's why I'll never be a six figure author

Yup, cause when two preteens scrap in the tanbark at school over who's got the better pog slammer, that's purely political. Or when OJ (did not ;D ) murder his woman cause that nigga is crazy.....that was purely political. Or when when Ronda Rousey got her face kicked in by Holly Holms, and then beaten in by Amanda Nunes, that was political.
Clearly, Fat Rick of Faggot town is a wise sage......
