The italics are a nice hint. Good Poe’s Law submission.

I got that advice as well – the explanation given to me was that it’s almost always used incorrectly, so just be safe and don’t. However, I like the way it makes writing more closely resemble natural speech; we usually talk in conjoined clauses rather than complete sentences.

I’ve been trying to get the semicolon to take off; haven’t had much luck though.

But following the surface of a sphere causes you to constantly change direction

I think you’ve generalized a bit too much. The gender-swapped format was not created for this exact meme, it’s just a jovial commentary on male stereotypes women find unappealing. In this case, the joke isn’t that she saw a stack of random games, they’re all FIFA – did you maybe not notice that? The annoying male FIFA player is a pretty well-established meme at this point.

A fellow opposum!

It’s the NYT Mini

You could go for unst and drop sick rave beats

Thanks! I hadn’t gotten around to finding a GW replacement yet, super happy this came up!

Oh cool, I’ll just go beat my head in-tow a wall

Okay gang, when you come across a TODO, how do you pronounce that? Too dough?

I thought it was bot spam

Maybe I’m missing the joke here, but it’s the latter on Linux. Super User Do = soodoo. Not sure why it’d be different for either platform.

You just made an inefficient evaporative purifier!

There’s a fundamental misunderstanding; the original commenter didn’t mean to use the line-style “queue” meaning, they were using it by mistake and even admitted that in a follow-on comment. They meant “cue” by its distinct definition, not the one that overlapped with “queue” long ago. It wasn’t a spelling correction – it was a homophone correction. It wasn’t a suggestion to queue up some Mitch Hedberg on yt, it was a cue for him to enter because one of his trademark jokes is about escalators.

In case of a house fire, I’d only escape with two things: my cat and my .vimrc

Fundamental Attribution Error

It matters from a cause-and-effect standpoint, but you’re callously and self-righteously blaming their whole situation on it. That you stop trying to understand the situation at that point reveals that you’re using it as an excuse to blame peoples’ suffering exclusively on their personal choices to feel better about yourself. That completely ignores any circumstances, predatory draws, nonstandard brain chemistry, or other factors outside of their control and assume they had perfect, complete knowledge of the situation and consequences at the time – which is honestly silly.

What the actual heck, I have the exact same childhood NOPE memory of a pool with an orca mosaic. You’re the first one to validate that, none of my family remembers! I think I might have almost drowned in there too.
