They’re trolling.
- nickburns 6mo agoI'm not.
- JumpCrisscross 6mo agoIf you’re not, and I say this in good faith, take your own advice around your tone. Making assumptions about other people, and then doubling down when they correct you, comes across as a kind of horrible I doubt you truly are.
- nickburns 6mo agoI say this in good faith: oh, stop.
- JumpCrisscross 6mo agoRight, you’re a troll. Something, something Dwight Macdonald about parody needing to be smart and not bitter.
- nickburns 6mo agoNothing here is remotely parody.
- JumpCrisscross 6mo agoI guess one doesn’t need to know they’re a parody to be funny.
- nickburns 6mo agoAs if that makes any sense.
- reactordev 6mo agodoes it piss you off that punct isn't used properly anymore and that, commas, can happen anywhere? Are you one of those who still has use for em-dash?
- JumpCrisscross 6mo ago> Are you one of those who still has use for em-dash? I still like ‘em!
- nickburns 6mo agoThis meme, too—shall pass.
- nickburns 6mo ago1.) No. It's another helpful tell. (And what do you mean 'anymore'?) 2.) I'm comfortable with varied comma stylization. 3.) My personal usage of the em-dash hasn't changed in a few decades and I don't see it doing so just because a bunch of folks only just recently learned it exists.
