It might be weird, but you’re not alone, I’m the same way.

In the Midwest, too. I had to learn to use “Miss” instead when I moved East because damn Yankees assing some kind of negative age valuation to “Ma’am” or “Madam”.

I think that’s implied by “removing distance”. The only reason to do that quickly is for manipulation.

I was trying to stay out of the fray but this one I feel I have to respond to:

tabs, you can change how they appear just for yourself without touching the actual code; the same can’t be said about spaces.

This is why I use spaces. A space is a space everywhere, a tab depends too strongly on the editor. I’ve had too many times where I had to edit on a different machine and it transmogrified my tabs into a different non-character entity in a way that didn’t reveal itself until later.

Eh, it’s hard to nail down.

Shitposting is like trolling, except it’s fun.

Propaganda is like trolling, except it’s serious.

I guess the defining characteristics is that trolling is fun for the troll but not for anyone else.

kinda both, honestly

we were calling them trolls back in the forum days because they were ugly individuals who loved to jump out of nowhere and yell at you

Nobody prefers Windows. Some people used to prefer the software suites exclusive to Windows.

Are tabs worth two spaces or four?

Sims 4 is a good game (though not as good as 2 or 3) but it’s a bad experience due to shitty monetization practices like microtransactions.

And personally I was very disappointed that “we’re getting rid of sliders” just meant getting rid of them visually, not the actual slider mechanics.

A bunch of each, and more besides. The US was founded as a compromise between a lot of different groups.

It’s only 10¢, but still, it’s weird that it happened twice.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (television and film)

Okay, but if OP is primarily worried about food costing more rather than food not being available stocking up on nonperishables is legit.

Butter and peanut butter spread together on a single thick piece of warm bread. It’s so delicious it almost makes up for how much of a mess it is… just like me.

You keep asserting this in the face of multiple people telling you otherwise. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong — but it certainly doesn’t mean you’re right, either.

I’m not here for content. I’m here for interaction. Repost bots are all noise no signal from that perspective. Similarly a thousand users who lurk are less important to me than a single user who remembers me across threads (probably as “that guy who doesn’t believe in [linear time | disbanding the Electoral Collage | Ohio being part of the Midwest | the superiority of the metric system]”).

See, that’s why I love my underfloor heating.

I want to say SW Europop? But don’t quote me on that.

It doesn’t bother me. I can sleep in any conditions.

The admins are great: dedicated, funny, and humble. They are hesitant to defederate and transparent when they do.

The communities are fantastic. Active, focused, and relevant. Worth browsing through even if you don’t have an account there.

Uptime is consistent and server infrastructure is almost completely transitioned to renewable energy.
