The author even makes a fictitious vacation comparison, in which they tabulate the cost of a 6 day trip to Disneyworld and then compare that to the cost a plane ticket to Paris at the absolute lowest and then instead of adding any other costs they just say ".. and stay in a hostel".


Why make it an either/or? Just visit Disney Land in Paris!

It's kind of like if PoC already used the N-word to describe themselves, then it became a slur, and then they asked people to stop using it, only to start using it again themselves.

Actually no it isn't and it's kind of boggling that you're so bad at logic that you think this was a reasonable post

I had a co-worker who is two or three years younger than me tell me I need to stop being such a millennial for doing things like questioning authority and expecting my work place to do things like replace my broken rear end office chair.

She's ex-air guard and used to work in corrections.

I am not surprised she's got no problem sucking corporate dick and listening to orders unquestionably

Muscle memory is a bitch.   But in the spirit of sheer old-fogey bloody-mindedness, I'll go ahead and use non-breaking spaces between sentences.   That way you can see sentence breaks the way God intended.   No need to thank me, young one.   All in a day's work.

It's not because of electric vs. manual.  It's that typewriters (except for EXTREMELY fancy ones) were always monospace.   It improves the readability a bit by separating the sentences just that tiny bit more.

Yes, yes, I used triple spaces, just to make sure it was visible.

What's wrong with racial comparisons? I think it helps to point out the ridiculousness of gender identity ideology. I feel like people are implying racism is worse than misogyny, and i don't agree with that. Women are basically still slaves in many places today.

To be fair, humans have caused a mass extinction event that's been going on now for *checks watch* somewhere around 120,000 years. To blame boomers is a bit harsh.

I can read sentences separated by normal sized spaces just fine with my young non-boomer eyes actually.

I learned to type in high school in 1995 (using WordPerfect 5.1!), and they drilled double spacing after the end of a sentence the entire time. I will die on this hill. And the oxford comma hill.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!
The only real problem with double spacing after stops is that it's so inconsistently used. Ultimately it's solved with a simple "find/replace" and even the old fogies who write the documents I gotta edit are never the wiser that their double spaces are gone.

Even with typewriters it's not super necessary. I have a couple from the 30s and 40s and it's not visually necessary and the mechanisms don't lock up or anything if you don't double space after hitting period.

All HTML renderers (i.e. all websites / all web browsers) collapse multiple spaces into a single space. You have to jump through hoops as a website designer if you want to prevent that behavior.

HTML rendering will prove to have been the death blow to multiple spaces, and people will never notice that it happened in the mid-1990s
