I find that I slip into the same habit sometimes -- specifically, when I'm typing something where perfect grammar will come off as overly formal, but I'm stressing a bit over what level of informality is appropriate. It taxes the frontal lobes, which means that my thoughts are disjointed in a way that ellipses just make sense with. I think it's so widespread among older people because when they were first introduced to instant messaging, they weren't sure how they would come off, and then it became a habit. But that's just me guessing.

I agree, and I don't care. It's a distraction. These people didn't move the needle an inch, and I think it's ridiculous to worry about probably 0.5% of the electorate when there are tens of millions who actively support all this shit. Where is their accountability? Where is the accountability for the billionaires who have spent their fortunes attacking democracy? Those people are grinning ear-to-ear when they see their enemies trying to fight each other like this.

I mean, I place more of the blame for "ending the country" on the fascists and the people who enthusiastically put them into power, but if you want to blame the handful of people who abstained then you do you I guess

I cannot into computers, but draining the capacitors before rebooting has fixed this issue for me in the past. Not sure if this is even possible on your device given you're running Plasma Mobile
