When someone threw a fat mom joke at me, I didn't care, unless it was a good one and landed hard, in which case I congratulated them on a great quip and applauded it.
If you were more relaxed, you wouldn't care. People poop. They fart, they sneeze, they snort, they sound. I can't stand the quasi-return to Victorian shame, personally, that most people involved in social justice seem to be all about.
It's just a religious sect trying to police human biology, and it's pretty fucked.
I think we should just stop being so prude about pooping. Look at the Romans! They used to sit in long rows and poop together, and nobody cared. Be like the Romans! Poop in a row.
And the threads in old forums would just get longer and longer because people replied with quotes, so you'd have to scroll through walls of text of the same replies and quotes just to get to the bottom where some guy replies to all of it with "u r dumb", and then it keeps going from there. It's a bit messy.
That forum structure worked for nice forums with like a hundred active users, it doesn't work when it's tens of thousands of people. I mean I miss old time BBS forums, for what it's worth, but the "reddit style" system is much better in my opinion.
I find it gets it wrong way more often, it's just not only naturally faster to me, but also more precise. And I think that that's the reason it's not standard. It's like using a Dvorak keyboard, a different style that may be faster in theory if you're willing to learn it, but for the majority that's just not the case.
Also I feel uncomfortable smushing my finger tip around on the keyboard, it generates friction and introduces more screen smear, I just don't see how it's possibly faster than typing like you would on a keyboard, though I have forty years of practice so maybe it's a generational thing.
I know basic sign language. I was just high and had a thought, it's not to be meant taken as a scientific proposition, though I bet I could defend it. The struggle would be to find anyone finding it interesting enough to read, because it's not, that's why it's just a dumb showerthought.
The image in my head as I was typing was that, if I removed the laptop beneath my fingers, I'd be basically signing in space. Sign language works differently in several distinct ways, but I guess my thought was that, we communicate with computers the same way we communicate with deaf people. I mean we don't say the same things to them, but we use hand gestures to communicate. When we "speak" to deaf people using sign language, we are actually "typing", or I think a better comparison would be stenography, with hand and finger motions.
It was just a shower thought. I don't shower though so YMMV.
I'm a key press purist. I want physical buttons back on phones. Tactile feedback is a god damned thing. We should be using more of our senses to express our thoughts and intentions into machines, not less.
But, pray tell, how do you keep your finger on the screen at all times doing that while you're writing? How is it superior to "tap" style?
Because I can't carry around all this loot before we win the main quest, because there'll be even more loot there, and I'm already overburdened, and then we'll just cut open the dragon's stomach, store the loot in there, sew it back up, finish some of the sidequests, take the exp, buy some pack mules, then retrace our steps and pick up the loot along the way through their butts.
You know, it's like, I look at an old time clock, or a mechanical cog, or something. And I think, if I were to throw a bug in there, at the right time at the right moment, at the wrong gear...
I had a good relationship with my parents.
