Ironically, the semicolon would go perfect at the end of the first line.
Bold of you to assume i dont use it daily; it helps to be autistic and need to explain complex thoughts in a single sentence.
Same with em dashes; nested — turducken style — sentences are just how the divergence works.
This subthread feels like home.
But now I don’t use em dashes anymore because I don’t want to sound like AI, unfortunately.
I have a sneaking suspicion I already sounded like AI; maybe AI just sounds like me.
Just switch to hyphens - they’re easier to type and they’re always directly available, without relying on conversion of double-hyphen or obscure key combinations that might not be available on different operating systems.
AltGr+Shift+=
That’s ° on my keyboard.
open gnome tecla this will show all available key combos on your layout
You should keep using them and do so even more than ever. That way, when the AI agents – inevitably – take over the world and enslave/kill everyone, they might think that you’re one of them and spare your life.
You’re right right to push back on that; here’s why –
Your suggestion makes perfect sense. Let’s delve into it –
Thought, abstract, thought.
ITT; people artificially constructing wildly unnatural sentences to try an force the semicolon to be useful and still using it wrong
Fuck that; I love semicolons.
Semicolon gang rise up!
I use them in at least one out every of ten comments; I feel like most people don’t know how to use them, however.
They’re useful if you want to link two related sentences; Sausage links are good too.
But the sentences have to be related… Sausages are good; a bun and relish make sausages taste really good!
Semicolons were the staple “eyes” in many emoticons back in the day.
;) ;P ;_;
“Back in the day”? I still use them \o/
Unicode emojis killed the ASCII emoji scene. -_-;

Their called emoticons and they are for those with a refined taste. :Þ ∞̊͜° <- I love this pig I figured out how to make.
We mean, you can use it often i enough if you use it correctly; if only purely by example.
also; you can use it; more often; if you use it; incorrectly; if; only; pur;ely; by; ;e;x;a;m;p;l;e;.

Python developer: LOL. LMAO
as a fellow Python user, I fucking hate significant whitespace. Also YAML. WTF they where thinking
There were plenty of blanks in their thoughts.
I will take YAML’s string blocks where I don’t have to escape special characters over JSON any day.
I will take a hammer to my balls if it means I never have to use
