I use a lot of semi colons. More than the average person, by a lot. I have to be intentional to not use one on this post.

I wonder what percentage of my posts on here contain one.

I use parentheses way more than most people.

English teachers used to chastise me about it until 11th grade when my teacher was like “it’s a lot of parentheses but it’s also your unique style”.

I do have to be really cognizant of it in business writing. If I ever publish the Great American Novel y’all will know it’s me by the copious quantities of parentheses. And the use of the word y’all.

People who want to use “karma” when discussing an event should have to pass a quiz beforehand demonstrating that they understand what “karma” is.

:thinking: It’s really weird how people always say “karma” in relation to bad / unfortunate events, and never to good / uplifting events.

flew out of orlando today.

in every family around the complex, the adults look tired and stressed like ben afleck’s character at the end of argo when he;s trying to get the embassy crew through the airport, on the plane, and out of the airspace. and getting on board isn’t enough - you have to wait until they kids get set up w adequate entertainment (or out of Iran’s airspace) before they can breathe normally.

I just saw a Domino’s delivery driver in a… 1964 Ford Thunderbird I think. Could be off a year or so.

How does this make any sense? I had a 1966 Galaxie in college, got 7-8mpg city. How does he make enough to offset fuel costs here?

I put milk in, but never stir it

I live on a brick road, so my morning coffee is shaken, not stirred.
