[OOC translation for people who don't hate themselves:

was looking up information about new spellings used in text communication on phones and computers etc. and most of what I found was fucking whinging about kids today being lazy and not knowing how to spell properly as if this were a modern fucking invention

there are differences and new things have been done with them that we didn't do much in the past with our telegraphs for example the numbers especially are clever

information, forewarned, today

but the idea was certainly not invented by 21st century children so pay respect to your elders who were far better at being incomprehensible than your kids today

when I get tired of my tiny telephone keyboard I'm going to write all my texts like this

because white is not a good faith answer
its a joke answer to take advantage of the fact that one is typing on a white background
typically used by self-important charlatans who think theyre so clever in making one highlight whatever lies they deem to share
there is no good faith in white

ive just known too many people who type in white
pick another color

literally anything but black and white
those are barely even colors in the technical sense
just pick a color

men were rarer in my caste
not being beholden to the duties women were assigned in the brooding caverns im sure they were given other assignments on the surface
the particularly useless ones were probably the source of our vampire legends
which is pretty disappointing in retrospect

now imagine you didnt pick a color for the sole purpose of annoying me

be honest with yourself the white was purely to annoy me and is more about that than anything else
and i didnt say you cant pick jade i didnt argue with you over it and even talked a bit about it
im just saying imagine what color it would be if you did

this goes back to the good faith thing
are you capable of answering a question in good faith
because if this exercise is teaching me anything its about that

making jokes instead of observations
its a game and a thought experiment
the point is to think about things
so do you just not like to think about things
or is making jokes simply more fun

from a cultural standpoint its a very personal topic to me
so it tends to make me introspective
and therefore any discussions i have on the topic will in turn encourage introspection in others
so i guess sorry for being the person i am
