Considering your wording in the last paragraph, I’m going to guess that your writing style is frequently overwhelming. Making sure that questions are clearly isolated (I’d suggest using numeric lists or bullet points) makes it clear what response you’re expecting.

Additionally, if you’re asking several difficult questions, it’s likely that people will lose the thread partway through.

How to Respond to a Question on Title Capitalization: A Brief Commentary

It isn’t normal to capitalize every first letter… it’s normal to capitalize nearly every first letter.

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 pyramids mostly take care of themselves - most of the Roman sites were destroyed because people needed stone, and its easier to get pre-quarried stuff than dig it out of the ground yourself.

Our reverence of past architecture is a pretty modern trend - and the amount of work it’d take to keep repainting and gilting these ancient buildings is unreasonable if they aren’t useful.

The materials being repurposed is pretty awesome though, it sucks to lose old buildings but being able to reconstruct where stones from a given ended up going and them receiving care and maintenance in their new homes is better than the material being outright destroyed… and it helps weave history into our everyday lives.

One interesting debate you can follow right now (ish, it’s mostly been settled) is the repatriation of totem polls that were stolen from Haida and Coastal Salish peoples… there was a debate about trying to preserve them in museums or returning them to the tribes where they’ll serve their purpose and weather away to nothing. A takeaway from this discussion is that, if you have nothing else, it’s not a bad idea to try and preserve items so that future people can appreciate them… but there are also active totem carvers alive and passing on the knowledge today - it’s better to provide funding to keep the artform alive.

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.

I toast a shot of Salmiakki to that.

I naturalized to Canada and call myself Canadian.

A few things

1. If it’s an operation you end up not committing to you don’t want the infamy of having planned it.
2. Advanced knowledge of the strike may allow the target to reposition to avoid or oppose the strike.
3. Persons involved in the strike may be endangered due to the association.
4. You look like fucking ass clowns.

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?

Walk away from them until they feel comfortable enough to leave.

We speak in run-on sentences.

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.

So this post is just a platform for you to vaguely criticize therapy? It sounds like it’s financially out of reach where you live and that sounds like a societal issue. But I will happily admit that a lot of what people depend on therapy could likely be much more cheaply given by having a stronger social network.

It should be illegal but Roberts doesn’t give a shit.

Individual contributor - a term for everyone who isn’t a manager.

Companies where there are long tenured employees outside of management is my ultimate green flag. If you can figure out who is in management by drawing names out of a hat by senority and stop when you run through 80% of managers without hitting a single IC then you should be aware that ICs have very little say in how the company is run so half the managers are there out of frustration because they needed to become a manager to enact change.

There’s no bad reason to give your puppy love and attention.

Instructions unclear, I have become a lexer and now am in need of a parser and linker.

I genuinely doubt it. And if he was proven to be truly Jesus and kept saying that then US Christians would either say “He doesn’t understand the modern world” or reject him for some other contrived reason (i.e. he was corrupted by modernity, the machine caused him to lose his connection to God, etc…)

Christians are full of hate because they love hate.
