A concerned mother

I hate texters that use zero punctuation like this. It’s like having a stroke trying to read it.

my partner and her mom use voice to text without editing, and it looks just like this lol

Wow, double whammy, it’s annoying to everyone on both sides of the text…

It’s Fully Ramblomatic now.

No punctuation on top of terrible grammar. It hurts.

I’ve heard that some younger people find punctuation “too aggressive” or something.

Ellipses… definitely.

Sentences ending a full stop. Somewhat.

Very context dependent though

I think this makes me old because I like using ellipses as a pause! Maybe I’ll just go to writing the word uh in everywhere so people know my brain is old and trying to think of things as I write.

Tom Scott has a great video on the topic, it might interest you. Link

What?! Really!? Who could possibly think this is aggressive?! Really?! Who?!

That two hundred and sixty-nine unread messages make my brain hurt and fills me with existential dread.

It’s like staring into the abyss and you see a notification pop up.

ADHD lyfe. I literally have a bit over 13 000 unread emails.

Posting this because of how much it is going to annoy people.

Wow, you can just paste images into the textarea, how sweet is that.

Autism+ADHD life, I can’t stand to have emails in my inbox for more than a day and I also can’t be diligent enough to achieve that

Yeah I gave up long ago. I regularly miss important emails but my life is kinda clown shoes anyhow so that’s the least of my worries

If they’re anything like me, they’re piled up 2FA codes that I can’t be bothered to delete

I have tons of those. I still mark every single one of them read. Only time I ever leave anything unread is when I need a reminder to get back to it later.

well look at you with your working executive function lol

Make a filter and work with folders. If you can’t, get a sane client software. Thunderbird, Evolution, Kmail, Claws are pretty good.

Hahaha came here to say the same.

It’s like work email. Mine were 100% read for 16 years. Then I let one go unread, then two, and now I’m up to just under 1,000 unread emails. It’s an adrenaline rush, like Russian roulette. I doubt I’ll read any replies to this comment! I need help.

I’d offer help but you wouldn’t read it.

Plus I’m wildly unqualified.

Just try and stop me

You guys check your emails?

Ok but to be fair, that movie does give good reason for this.

Well, she’s right about the movie.

Requiem for a Dream has entered the chat.

I haven’t seen that one.

Don’t watch it high

It bothers me that “Mom >” is centered and not “Mom” centered with the > jutting out a bit. It’s off center from the M above it.
