i generally don’t worry too much about dialect because mine is strange in any environment, but there are some words which just seem out‐of‐place imo

you ever have those moments of like ‘oh no, i sure hope i haven’t used the word “mad” in my fanfiction with the american meaning; it should be “angry” or “upset” ’

“see, what i think you need to do is uhhhhh read some books”

“actually if you analyse the relevant historical factors at play there is a reason things are like that”

sometimes people say things like it is supposed to be baffling but i am not at all baffled

otherwise most of these are unfamiliar names to me; i should poke around and give them a listen

glad to see Wolf Alice was on the shortlist and didn’t win; Blue Weekend is good but it isn’t ⁜that⁜ good

glad to see Nubya Garcia was on the shortlist; great album

oh the Mercury Prize happened

it’s awkward though because like, it’s not just going to go away? everybody in galar expects it now. there would be a huge uproar if the pokémon league was like, “nah we’re banning dynamax”

dynamax battling is a very recent and unnatural addition to the sport promoted entirely because it makes for good T·V; there is very little to suggest that it is actually like, good or healthy for the pokémon involved

like sword and shield are pretty explicit about the fact that dynamax pokémon usually, er, go on rampages and the whole “using them in battle” thing was something chairman rose, the big bad guy of the entire game, invented to increase spectacle, which was opposed for probably ethical reasons by the person who was most knowledgable regarding the dynamax phenomenon, professor magnolia

continuing in the time‐honoured pokémon fan tradition of just kind of ignoring the fact that dynamaxing pokémon is probably actually really fucked up

to the extent that COLON is a capital FULL STOP though, 19.09.2021@17:40 at least makes some metre of sense

the difference between RATIO and COLON is that RATIO is aligned to the math centreline and has equal spacing on both sides, whereas COLON is aligned to the baseline [except sometimes between digits] and can have unequal spacing [except sometimes between digits (honestly i’m not convinced you shouldn’t use RATIO for hh∶mm∶ss notation lol)]

well this is new

going through fediverse instances like, “well this crowd is sus but they could be fine”; “well THIS crowd is sus but some of my best friends are furries”; “well
