so, the rise of the alt-right then?

Money is speech, corporations are people, “we the people in order to form a more perfect union” has become “we the companies in order to form a more exploitable customer base”

real til in the comments

court been sayin a lotta shit these days

What a shame, bless his kind dear little heart.

On second thought, let’s not go to the internet. 'tis a silly place.

honestly this and the other comment have me second guessing. i was being awful windows centric.

oh. thats wacky. it shows up for me on the live post but not the edit?

i legit developed severe photsensitivity driving uber eats a few years ago at night in my miata. I couldn’t walk around indoors without sunglasses for almost a year after i quit.

why spend time googling dozens of half-related forum issues when chatgpt can average all those half-related issues in one plausible-looking reply. just think of the time saved.

headliiiiiightsssss

no it seems to have formatted actually. you caught me before i could ninja edit

im here on my phone this time and – i’ll be fucked i didnt know that. are you sure its not lemmy autoformatting?

more like it requires the use of an alt code, and humans aint got time for that shit in casual ‘speechtype.’ there’s literally nothing you can say with an emdash that a well-placed semicolon (and/or a few other tools) couldn’t solve with a slightly reconstructed sentence structure. if you’re using them, especially repeatedly within a couple paragraphs, you’re either: unusually resistant to the tedium and friction of breaking your stride to type alt 0151; writing formally; a bot. i’ll give you three guesses which is most likely.

personally I’ve stopped using proper grammar and spelling and formal language and capitalization and whatnot as a sortof ‘proof of humanity.’ people who use em-dash in anything but formal writing are just self-flagging themselves as bots at this point. even in formal writing you better have yourself a robust edit log.

agreed

🥱 💩

that’s a bold assertion. prove it.

given the state of the us, a valid strategy has less to do what is fitting and more to do with what you can get away with.
