#and that's how it is

okay well first of all i am assuming that's a underscore which is not on our list because i had assumed it to be not a punctuation mark.

but obviously i had to check right i mean like, living on assumptions is the number one way to not know anything so i checked and the answer is kinda interesting so lemme just say it really quick because i think maybe people would be interested

so firstly there are a few usages i would feel bad not mentioning, it's used as a diacritic in some languages (diacritic being an accent sign basically, like the little hat over the â here or the thing under the ç cedille) as well as being used in mathematics for stuff like vectors

but here's the interesting bit (to me at least) is the underscore was meant to be used for underlining things back when we had typewriters. like you'd type out the line and then retype the underscores on the same line by taking the page out and typing the underscore underneath the words!

now (though sometimes it's used in proofreading to mean that) because that's not how computer typing works, that means that the mark is fairly useless except as blank space. which i mean. isn't that kinda neat? the underscore is kind of like a relic of typewriters and it's still sticking around.

anyways yeah i am not adding it though it's not really a punctuation mark i don't think

now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.

this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.

I used to staged fist fights with my friends in 711. We would actually punch each other and then end the fight by making out.

People were always really confused and shocked.

The employees didn't really care we were fighting and would laugh.

Years later some guy started a fight with me at a show and once we were grappling on the floor I instinctively started making out with him.

He immediately got up and left the show. Technically I have won every fight I've ever been in 💪

losing my mind over this a little bit. new type of guy.

so the tiktok ban was literally just propaganda for the trump administration. like. we all agree with that right. this is just laughably transparent. the ban wasn't even 24 hours. not even a whole day. to quote my infinitely funnier mutual from Discord, "Misha Collins was bisexual longer than TikTok was banned"
