Be very careful with mutual funds in this climate. Most are heavily weighted towards the Mag7 which include some of the most massively overinflated stocks.

I moved my stocks into non-US bonds and GICs when the first round of tariffs against us (Canada) happened. At this point I think it’d be a terrible idea to jump ship because you’ll realize that loss.

Not the hyphen specifically - just a distinct symbol for contractions.

So you’re of the opinion that somehow by making five hundred austerity cuts saving two million dollars each the GOP will shave a trillion from the budget? Is Trump going to increase or decrease the deficit in your mind?

The democrats are fiscally conservative. The GOP believes in budget unbalancing tax cuts and are fiscally liberal.

I assume they vote liberal or are uncomfortable being seen as the hateful sack of shit they are.

If we’re talking America the parties align like this:

• Democrat: Socially moderate, fiscally conservative
• Republican: Socially regressive, fiscally liberal

I’d be cool with that - I don’t care how we mark contractions just as long as we stop reusing apostrophes for it.

Eh - I thought dash was a pretty reasonable symbol for “There’s a contraction here” I don’t really care about the actual symbol as long as we stop using the same symbol for contractions and possessives. In my sample It-s would currently be written It's and the it's (a possessive) would be its if that’s what you’re asking.

Possessives always get an apostrophe outside of weird exceptions where they clash with contractions. I’m proposing we fix that. Also - let’s bring back mass possessions like “At the bake sale Moms’ baked goods are always delicious”

The inconsistency of apostrophe usage in English for possessives and contractions. If it was instead written…

It-s a wonderful day out today, take your phone but turn off it’s data so you can soak up the clear blue skies.

It’d be so much fucking easier and my OCD would be satiated.

Can you confirm that Trump had a quart of gravy with a side of hollandaise for lunch? During the meal did he indeed steal some of RFK Jr’s beef tallow fried clubbed seal to dip in it?

My first one was Visual Source Safe.

I will never go back to it for any amount of money.

Pause interrogatives and interrogative starting marks - aka ,? and ¿

Interrogative starting marks are extremely useful for clarity and pause interrogatives better align with natural speech.

Eh buddy, me and Bob were thinking of heading down to Timmes. ¿Do you want to come,? there’s a sale on the chili.

Nano is love.

This is a bit embarrassing but the last time I actively worked in C++ it was with Qt and pre C++11.

Real C++ programmers pass by const ref and tell pointers to fuck off.

Terrorists Win.

If you keep Pantera’s Walk on shuffle you’ll occasionally get the exceptional experience of it coming on as the light changes.

Nintendo literally already filing a lawsuit against OP.

They can make it really fucking suck if you’re caught using it. They may be able to use drones or land based detectors to try and hone in on transmitters… but the classic response from authoritarian governments is just to escalate penalties.

Foreach their own.
