Ugh, absolutely fucking annoying. I’ve been online since 1994. Back then, proper spelling and grammar were enforced by ‘grammar nazi’s’. If you wanted your post to be taken seriously, you had to write it properly. Because of that, I tend to write longer posts with proper grammar.
Unfortunately, not writing like a drunk koala means you now MUST be an AI.
I’ve pretty mych resorted to inserting a random typo somewhere in the comment or post so at least it looks like a human typed.
Sometimes it’s just not worth arguing with people. Certainly not if it’s the fifth time that week or something. That shit gets exhausting.
Also, you’re allowed to simply not give a ahit on some things. We’ve all got our own shit do deal with without needing to form an informed opinion on every other thing that might be happening somewhwre in the world.
Yeah, as a fresh 44 year old, I’d really love to have a boring decade where nothing much happens. Just a bit of a breather before the inevitable climate wars. I’ve lived through so many ‘once in a lifetime’ events, it’s not even funny.
Yeah ‘serving size: three jelly beans’ or ‘one Oreo cookie’ are not realistic even for people who don’t actually binge them.
I absolutely loooooove that. I have worked with a fair few autistic people over the years, and am probably undiagnosed myself.
I always love hearing about someone’s niche interest, whether it’s trains, games, weird music taste or whatever. One guy was into Roman Legion reenactment. He and his girlfriend would spend two weeks every year at a fully immersed reenactment campsite. He’d be a solder, she’d play a slave girl (yes, really).
It’s always a treat to find someone who doesn’t mind endless followup questions and they in turn love being talk in depth about it.
