You would like unexpected keyboard for your phone then. It supports en–dashes, em—dashes and non-breaking spaces without needing a symbol layer.

I just switched to a keyboard that has both em- and endashes, so I am slightly irritated that using them would make my writing look like ai now

I had not expected chatbots to induce psychosis in this many people. I guess that happens if you believe the lying machine is smarter than you. Don't think this is what rats envisioned when they said ai would be dangerous tho

Because everyone uses whatsapp. For most there isn't really an option of not using whatsapp. Though more and more people are switching to signal nowadays, which is good to see.

~~Which is why we use plural for singular second person, obviously~~

E: I am not gonna continue this prescriptivist argument any further. There are certainly cases where "they is" is correct, but that does not discount the singular "they are". This is my stance and remains my stance. You believe whatever you want, have a nice day.

Yeah? The pronoun is what causes it to be plural. This is how the grammar works. I don't understand what your argument is here.

Transcription: Image of a tweet by pbsnews posted July 11th, 2025. The tweet reads "A State Department employee shared with PBS news an image from inside the department". The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words: 'colleagues, if you remain, RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold.'" Attached to the tweet is an image, that contains aformentioned piece of paper, taped to a bathroom mirror. The bathroom stalls are visible in its reflection.

It is not that deep, really. It is almost impossible to understand on a first watchthrough because all context for what is happening is only given towards the very end, so it just looks like a mess. On second watch it should be more understandable, but if you did not enjoy it the first time you wouldn't the second time either, and you don't really lose much by not doing it. Just watch a video essay about dissociative disorder in media or something if you want to watch something with meaning.
