Hell yeah, please ban declawing. It’s inhumane. And no, I’m not a nut or even a vegetarian (and nothing wrong with vegetarians), I’m just sane.

It’s a nickname for Hristorectomy.

It’s not so much that he forgot his name as that he remembered his face. At his age, and after all these years? Yeah, that’s cool.

Hug = sexual

Asking = assault

Okay, buddy.

Isn’t that called “country potatoes”?

I hate when people say “hashtag”, too.

Why would you gatekeep what’s on a pizza? There’s a whole range of textures and flavors that work, that you’re telling people they can’t experience because you’re a hardcore traditionalist? Let good food be good food.

Holy crap, this is useful. Thanks!

There is also a space after an ellipsis… like this.

Not…like this.

I don’t care if everyone does it wrong, it’s both harder to read (less functional) and it flies against normal punctuation conventions.

Also, don’t get your punctuation inspiration from Japanese games. An ellipsis is three periods, no more. Exclamation mark always goes after question mark. (“?!” = correct) Japan adopted our punctuation marks and did it their way. If you’re writing in English, do it the English-language way.

Same opinion. And I like both!

Thanks, been arguing this for ages.

Fuck yes. Only people who argue otherwise are illogical traditionalists.

I find that all countries do some pretty weird things. Some more than others, Japan.

Discovered it years ago!

Holy shit, another person who calls it that! I found it on accident years ago and I love to use that term.

Writer here. Don’t blindly follow dumb style rules. I write how I speak; and when you write how you speak, you end up using a lot of semicolons and em dashes (if you’re competent). Each “pausing-type” punctuation means something specific, and they are all vital for clarity and natural flow. And informal or spliced sentences are good. Style rules are too formal, and sometimes as antiquated as “‘ain’t aint’ a word”. So instead do what works— what makes things natural and easy to read.

Aspartame gave me terrible headaches. Then I became diabetic. Turns out by that time sucralose was more popular. It doesn’t give me headaches and it tastes fine. After so long of having sucralose, I can now tolerate aspartame. Still gross though.

As a person who is not an advanced pirate, I’m reading the Jackett page and I have no idea what it is or how it works.

I fucking hate people like you.

“Everything on Reddit/Lemmy is fake and gay. Here’s my evidence.”

All evidence easily has an explanation, most of it laughably so.

What do idiots who claim everything is fake get out of it? To troll the OP? Or do you just want to spread your misery?

Oh look, another lemmy to block
