Yeah, I’m pretty sure OP knows this - the title says it’s an escape character. What you’re describing is referred to as “escaping” the markdown.

In a similar manner, OP wants to “escape” sarcasm, I guess? But that’s not really the purpose of the /s tag - it marks the end of sarcasm. Doing \s would imply that while the original meaning would be interpreted sarcastically, you’re not supposed to. Which also makes sense I guess, but people use /srs for similar reasons.

Same, I feel like it describes me perfectly

I came purely because of the correct usage of POV

From the article:

In Bartels’ case, 19 people did so, asking courts for a total of $151,500 from him. The judge gave them $63,000 instead—$3,000 apiece.

For $3k I’d consider it, personally 😅
Speaking as someone who may’ve been abused as a kid - I have blocked most of my memories from those ages, especially around family…

At work I have to deal with couriers who I don’t talk to at length but do see basically every day. My rule is 2 chances. First time is always assuming the best case - maybe if they’re rude they’re just having a bad day. Second time, if they still can’t behave when I’m trying to be civil, they can fuck right off and I either ignore them or get my supervisor.

I want to be nice to people but I want people to be nice to me too. If they can’t be, I won’t put the effort into it either, especially if I’m already tired (which given I do physical labor, is common). But respect me and I’ll respect you back.

:'(

Gonna save this comment, thanks. Stuff like this is difficult to plan out when you didn’t expect to get this far to begin with lol

I’d argue this is a WPA, not WAP. Not the entire pigeon is wet. But the ass certainly seems to be.

As a 20 year old, I have both :')

Still want to do uni and make a name for myself, achieve some cool things for the world & humanity, but at the same time I feel like just “making the most of it,” and try being content just messing around with electronics and FOSS in my free time… But I guess that can just be my back-up if university doesn’t pan out.

Could be an announcement like “Hey guys, tomorrow you have the day off on us. Have fun!” at the end of the work day or whatever.

Saying “you get one day PTO to use whenever you want” is of course better, but sometimes unplanned free time is nice too. Both would work fine imo.

The secret ingredient is spending too much time online as an escape from reality

Online friends helped me get through puberty tbh. Irl my classmates were mostly bullies.

If the internet didn’t exist I very likely wouldn’t be alive today, so I guess not

Boymoder = trans woman who “hides” their identity by wearing typically male clothes.

Cis = not trans

No other parties want to collaborate with the remaining parties in power. So we’re very likely to have new elections soon.

Oh it’s harder alright…

I’ve written to a CD last year.

My brain really wants to see loss in this…

From your own reference frame, wouldn’t earth be falling to you? Because then this’d apply to everyone, always.
