The Butlerian Jihad begins

The use of the word genuinely is always a dead giveaway


I recently came across https://tropes.fyi/directory which has a pretty solid set of common patterns, and I like it a lot. The pattern that always really bothers me is the one named "short punchy fragments", for example from the site “He published this. Openly. In a book. As a priest.”

It kills me every time. I automatically lose any interest in the substance and often just throw away the whole conversation!


You're absolutely wrong.


That's kind of sad to me, I've used that word a lot, it was my go-to and best technique for trying to convey sincerity in comment sections


But someone can genuinely like using the word!


It genuinely is.


And “honestly” in the way it is used in this piece


Are you planning a Linux release?


In theory it should build in Linux (electron) but we haven't tested it yet. Things like the imessage integration wouldn't work. Thanks for asking!


Or it implies they were handwritten by Galileo himself vs his words written by someone rlse


Why?


You write all messages multiple times, them clarify it's only 3 services. Stop that. If it doesn't support everything mainstream, don't claim "all".


What an absolutely absurd thing to say


I agree the mere notion is ridiculous yet here we are! Hyundai is not making the kimchi burger of free theft protection upgrades for places with rampant crime and we are so angry!


Well you went off the rails. The comment is talking about Chile, which was a democracy before the CIA overthrew the government and installed a dictator. What does that have to do with other countries or the KGB?


It's so insane that in the land of the free you have to go to court just to attempt to enforce your constitutional "rights"


Yeah you can't use the cherry picked example argument when it was chosen by the developers
