Yeah I like the ... despite knowing it's really for something like a trailing list. Its use seems regional even within the US. Our business partners in Chicago didn't like it when we included the dots in emails.

Sometimes there are buildings full of people saying the same thing over and over - "FIRE! FIRE!!!"

It usually happens when the building is burning, but that doesn't mean those people couldn't have formed a diverse set of opinions on what to discuss in that moment.

What an echo chamber those places are, right?

I see that too except there's also a functional link below the picture. I did still open the picture twice before trying the link though haha

I can't speak for all men because I've only really known a few dozen of them well enough to judge. But I don't remember me or any of my friends having or needing one of those moments.

The forgiveness thing is legit though. Our kids remember ALL the times we fucked up. Frustrated remarks that would roll off your spouses back are not forgotten by kids - because it hurts them more.

Commas are somewhat discouraged... or at least discretion with commas is encouraged. We have a rule about commas. "If in doubt, don't."

We should only use commas for certain prescribed circumstances or if the comma is necessary for clarity.

That said I will defend the Oxford comma to my last breath.

Republicans (as a group) are fascists.

Democrats (as a group) are not communists.

Mine too, but now I'm worried they'll just sell off the remaining assets and close the doors.

Trump supporters are to Trump what Trump is to the Republican party.

They thought they could harness the crazy. Now they face growing existential threats for not being crazy enough.

The find out phase is getting spicy!

When Thomas said he thinks they will have different views, he wasn't saying "we" as in the various supreme court justices. That may be a more reasonable statement.

Thomas said "we" the Supreme Court will have different views than both Chutkin and the DC appeals courts. He was saying SCOTUS will probably overturn the two lower courts.

I could say but won't because I like getting news from Lemmy.
