I'm GenX. When I was a kid, being a nerd was a bad thing. Then the nerds invented electric-mail, got rich, and started fucking up the entire world. Seems like we were right about nerds after all.

Shania (of the Twain family) is pronounced "SHAN-yuh" and I won't hear otherwise.

I pronounce words like they are spelled regardless of me knowing the correct pronunciation or not. So when you hear me pronounce champagne like sham-pog-nuh, please know it is not a mistake, and that I deliberately mean to fuck with your head.

If you post something and it's not good enough to deserve at the very least a ♥️ from you, then why did you post it?

I pronounce "parmesan" as "par-MEE-zee-un" and won't stop.

Has anyone used the "Show less like this" option here, and actually seen any results? I feel like it does absolutely nothing.

To all who find the content here objectionable: Consider using your own accountability to improve what you're seeing. Use tools provided to shape your experience. Stop blaming the platform if you're using it poorly.

(I will confirm from personal use that "Show less like this" does nothing.)

"Thoughts & prayers" is as useful as "boo hoo get over it." It deserves no less than ridicule.
