i don't like how the android app doesn't show avatars because i like imagining everyone is actually their avatar

like im some horrible pony homunculus that does nothing but scream all the time, smacking the keyboard with my stubby, unjointed pony homunculus arms

lol that owns. i remember an art project like that, it was like space invaders but every enemy you destroyed deleted a random file off your computer

that reminds me of this one robot a guy built that decides if it wants to hurt you using some set of criteria and then stabs you in the hand with a needle

art!

if someone had told lil ultravoices that in the future we'd have machines do all the spelling for us

i remember i was bad at cursive back in elementary school and the teacher gave me extra take-home sheets and i practiced a bunch to get better like a little dork and now i feel real ripped off

they kept kicking its importance down to some future point like all through school up to university, but at that point laptops were everywhere. still good and the fastest way to take notes (off compute) and write tests

i seem to remember a study that found that people who write non-cursive all the time write just as fast as people who write cursive all the time and whichever you find faster comes down to which one you use most

idk if that still holds now that nobody writes at all ever though

none of that poo poo will ever get implemented
also people have been suggesting features like that since qcs was opened

all of that already exists in xenforo either natively or as plugins so :shrug:

how is it 2017 and the cutting edge choice in web forums is still a php abomination

um excuse me it's a php abomination with heavy javascript use :smug:

also there's a chat plugin but it costs extra (from a third-party dev). my dumb gay forum has it because the users really wanted it and apparently it's nice, like you can reference forum posts in the chat and the chat can get recorded / tied to the posts etc. i don't use it because it's fuckin' browser based but they seem to like it :shrug:

I think you mean inertia

inertia is an object's resistance to a change, momentum is how much "moving" a thing has. they'd both work in this case :shrug:

i was making the joke that php would have a quality that has a negative connotation rather than a positive one. didnt realize it wouldnt be clear to anyone else.

oh huh i've never read any sort of positive or negative connotation to momentum or inertia by themselves
