  • I’ve been a fan of em-dashes for a long time, mainly to try and make sentences more coherent without overusing commas, semicolons, and whatever the “…” is called. It’s just another piece of the grammatical jigsaw that allows written language to kinda have a voice. But I also don’t use an em-dash like 5 times in a paragraph

    I just gotta long-press the dash symbol on my phone to use it — like so. Now on a physical keyboard, I gotta really want to use it cause I can never remember the key combination. But I refuse to let AI ruin a perfectly good piece of punctuation for me





  • Is your meme agreeing or disagreeing with them?

    “Ample ability to do so” is what confuses me about your post. Idk, I guess “ample” is contextually suggestive

    Edit: thinking about it, isn’t the first panel (of the original comic) the very definition of, “act on your principles when you have ample ability to do so”? I’m overthinking it, aren’t I? You were just trying to be snarky back at them… sorry, carry on then

    It’s the rug and lighting, but I see what your saying. It makes like a depth perception illusion. It is flat though

    Edit: there’s also some kind of triangular, concave? object next to the dresser in the first photo. It tripped me up without even realizing it at first
