  • I’ve used double hyphens for em dashes, because I’ve never bothered to figure out how to do it in Linux. I was a graphic designer for many years, and had a bunch of ASCII Alt codes memorized, but they don’t work in Linux, for whatever reason. I don’t really need them anymore, so I haven’t worried about it. So, I suppose the double hyphens shows I’m human, and definitely not a robot.

    E: One way in Linux is Ctrl-U 2014: —


  • So… Why don’t I see double spaces after your periods? Test. For. Double. Spaces.

    EDIT: Yep, double spaces were removed from my test. So, that’s why. Although, they are still there as I’m editing this. So, not removed, just hidden, I guess?

    I still double space after a period, because fuck you, it is easier to read. But as a bonus, it helped me prove that something I wrote wasn’t AI. You literally cannot get an AI to add double spaces after a period. It will say “Yeah, OK, I can do that” and then spit out a paragraph without it. Give it a try, it’s pretty funny.






  • I helpfully added to the end of a comment, “If you see a Nazi, punch a Nazi”, as a play on “If you see something, say something.” That got me a one-week suspension. A couple of weeks later, I posted a link to a site that explains how many of the top corporations are owned and controlled, through stocks, by a small group of the same billionaires–they all sit on each other’s boards and block outsiders from being elected. That got me a permanent suspension. I haven’t been back.

    This was on my account that is eight years old, and had over a million comment karma, and about 40,000 post karma. Fuck 'em.
