I hate texters that use zero punctuation like this. It's like having a stroke trying to read it.
- 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
  
  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?!
- It's Fully Ramblomatic now.
- Skill issue
- 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...
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.
- 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.
  
  You guys check your emails?
  
  Just try and stop me
  
  I'd offer help but you wouldn't read it.
  
  Plus I'm wildly unqualified.
- 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.
  
  Make a filter and work with folders. If you can't, get a sane client software. Thunderbird, Evolution, Kmail, Claws are pretty good.
- ADHD lyfe. I literally have a bit over 13 000 unread emails.
  
  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
  
  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.
- Hahaha came here to say the same.
Well, she's right about the movie.
- Requiem for a Dream has entered the chat.
  
  I haven't seen that one.
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.
Ok but to be fair, that movie does give good reason for this.
"Its a meme Batman"
