  For me it’s just being able to have longer discussion. I dunno, maybe I can do that on Mastodon but it feels to quick for me. I’ve always liked forum posting, so this suits me better

  最近好嗎？我只想問一下，你最喜歡的小吃是什麼？

  actually… that kinda makes me nostalgic. No Mercy was the best!

  Reminds me of the Einstein jerk off skit from UCB

  It might still be worth a listen to you then! I also listened at first as an angsty teen, so it kinda showed me how much had changed since then.

  I don’t even like Pinkerton now, Rivers’ sex fantasies kinda gross me out

  It’s amazing. By utilizing the time honored technique of “korosu”, this skill has been passed down from generation to generation. People don’t seem to have enough respect for tradition.

  Speak for yourself, I’m interested in the sugar & molasses. Stocks are low and my family needs to hunker down for the long winter.

  Ready Player One was a dystopia and Zuck was so enamored it became required reading for building the “Metaverse”.

  Billions of dollars can’t buy you the ability to sense irony I guess.

  Ah this is nice!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pure Evil⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know why I’m here commenting about this, but I love type, so:

  Hyphen (-): the short one, used for hyphenated words. fire-eaters. Close-up.

  en-dash (–): slightly longer, traditionally the length of a lowercase"n" in the typeface. Used between for things like a timeframe. 10–11:30, August–October

  em-dash (—): the longest of the three, and the length of a lowercase “m”. Used as a punctuation mark to denote a side comment or to abruptly cut off a sentence. “It’s a great punctuation mark—in fact I overuse it—but it’s still useful.” “Hey where are you going with that giant—”

  I didn’t bother to double check the definitions, so there might be more specific rules, but these are my rules of thumb.

  Narrator, as Elon dances over Twitter headquarters with strobe lights and Google charges employees $99 per night to stay at their own hotel:

  “They were being exploited.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recently picked up Chrono Trigger - Amazing Game!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I never played Xenosaga, but the teams that made them are totally different. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s like Chrono Trigger with a more complex plot and characters. There’s something about it that feels a bit similar, it’s hard to describe. Good to go in without too many spoilers. Might be your thing and might not, but definitely worth giving a shot!
