"So who's the ditz and who's the dull?"

[lyraeon]

when your autocorrect decides some word needs to be capitalized every time and keeps doing it even after you've deleted the word from your dictionary (three times, meaning it was never really deleted, wtf swiftkey, god damn't i miss swype)

Have I accidentally stumbled into developing a house-fucking/spirit house story? Absolutely. Do I fucking know how to write? Absolutely not. No ficking clue. Shockingly bad at “show, don’t tell”

tfp was groundbreaking for fridging a well known male character in episode 1 literally just for womanpain. #feminism

Honestly. Adding balsamic vinegar to something could be considered “lezzing out”. Accidentally having your phone set to the Spanish keyboard so that balsamic vinegar when typed through swype text autocorrects to ‘mi batshit vagina’ can sometimes be considered “Lezzing out”. Doing a crazy quick but shy little two step in the electrical section of Lowe’s— that’s right, that’s lezzing the fuck out. Now, not everything is lezzing out, because I think there has to be a balance for some people, like maybe, I dunno. ‘Rustic as fuck’. And they’re not always opposites, like they can happen at the same time. Installing pointless barn doors, like on a bathroom or cabinet, is not lezzing out, but it’s rustic as fuck and it sucks. Using an allen wrench is lezzing out and rustic as fuck and pretty good. Calling it that instead of a hex key are those things too. Saying minge is lezzing out but not rustic at all. No one says minge anymore and it’s a shame because it’s really funny. Yknow I took some of them fly amarita amanina whatever legal but scary, yet quaint red and white toadstool ass mushroom gummies along with bootleg adderall chewables and then chased it with an entire bottle of moscato by accident and I can admit it’s neither lezzing the fuck out of me, nor rustic as shit it’s just. I’m scared. I’m in bed scared and I gotta get up early and go to the post office and bank and I’m wishing I was just munching on minge right about now. There’s a lot of awful slang for vagina that’s really funny, like cartoon lumberjack Phil and Lil’s dykeass mom type vernacular like calling it a clam. A poonani. Gash. The ole axe wound. Chowing down on some beaver. Rippin into that roast beast manwich. Parting the meat curtains. The clandestine cloaca. When I was little I tackled a boy who thought girls shit our their vagina to the ground and held his eye open while I dropped a pinecone around it. I always tell people that story but it’s important to remember I didn’t do it because he said he thought girls pooped out their front UGH EW I forgot about front butt. Fupa. My fucking pufa. Interchangeable pussy upper frontal area and such. sorry so I didn’t do that because he was wrong about where poop came from but because he made a border joke at me. I never hit his eye; I knew what I was doing. That was lezzing out. I was lezzing the fuuuuck out in third grade dude I was wearing a fleece vest and wire frame square glasses like my life depended on it. The boot cut jeans and sketchers. Not very rustic, which is for the best. Children rarely are, nor should they be rustic as fuck, let alone at all, but boys and girls of all ages can lez with the best of ‘em under the right parenting and guidance, the right conditions.

Hi why the fuck did I try to type "things" on that post and swype gave me "yoga" instead. Riddle me that. I hate keyboards.

[hailqiqi]

The sole reason I switched to and learnt to use this keyboard is because there's no autocorrect to slow me down

I hate how everything nowadays has a garbage UI that tries to "correct" user input and customization (or just disregards them entirely). I'm an adult who's been on the Internet for about as long as there has been such a thing and it would make me very happy if I could have a smartphone that behaved like a smartphone instead of like an educational toy for teaching children what an app is.

[thepleasuregoblin]

Kids are always staring at their phones these days cause they don't have fucking buttons on them. I could use t9 texting blindfolded when I was in high school. I could have been a court reporter with only a flip phone. Swype? Get the fuck outta here

[asleepinawell]

my phone keyboard app, swype, which was abandoned by the people who made it in 2018, finally stopped being compatible with new android os updates leaving me to scramble to find a new one and it is astonishing how bad every single alternative is by comparison. this app which hasn't been updated for six years was still so much more precise and accurate, had an actual fucking tab key, a better way to do punctuation, the ability to easily add words to the dictionary (like...c'mon guys), didn't flip back and forth on whether or not to add spaces after words, didn't plug my data into some AI, and actually had completely normal and harmless words like 'sex' in its default dictionary (C'MON GUYS). all of these are issues I've seen with other keyboards I've tried and most of the recommended ones I've looked up are now gone. as someone who writes almost exclusively on my phone, this fucking blows

[notquiteaghost]

SWYPE APK INSTALLED 🙏🙏🙏 it doesn't have any themes other than the default which is sad cuz i remember some of the downloadable ones slapped but holy shit when i delete a word n repeat the swipe it gives me a different word cuz it recognises it fucked up! and i have GESTURES again. and i can long press to get a slash! why does google think no one could possibly need quick access to the slash!!

[heard-nsfw-is-back]

tlou

is this why the price of chef boyardee has gone up? Is this why my phone doesn't correct my swype anymore? Is it you fucks? Because I for one love it. I love that energy. Keep it up. Mommy's proud

[countessravengrey]

This drives me crazy, but another one that gets me is if I input 'gay'. I use swype, so it'll try hat, gas, hay... all kinds of shit. And it pisses me off, like it's telling me 'gay' is a bad word. And I hate the purity culture nature of it all. I could rant about that for hours, staring with 'wholesome', but I won't.

Because you know what really drives me buggy?

The dictionary doesn't have the word 'autocorrect'. If I try to swype it multiple times, it absolutely will not ever cycle to that word, and if I try to type it in, it tries to autocorrect to anything else...like the damn thing is in denial about its part in my communication debacles and it's role in sustaining these social mores that should have died out long ago. Oh, and add in a layer of crazy for feeling the compulsion to anthropomorphize my phone and software, and that.... THAT? Is too fucking much. Somehow that makes me madder than anything.

thinking about weird cultural shit around sexuality/swear words/etc etc and how wild it is that i have to teach my phone’s autocorrect to let me say “fuck”. thats a thing i have to do. my phone will go “Nuh-uh, you naughty so-and-so, you can’t say that!” until i tell it enough times that Yes, Actually, I Don’t Mean Ducking and how fucking wild that is. earlier today i had to convince my phone that “hickies” was a word. hickies is too explicit for my phone to include in its default dictionary. but yknow what? it always capitalizes YouTube correctly.

[unidentifiedfuckingthing]

like genuinely for real do you think android swype force capitalizing everything that COULD be a brand is meant to be like, genuinely helpful to people, or is some kind of legal ass covering measure or some stupid convoluted shit somehow. because ill be honest theres only so many times i can type shit like iliac Crest and Express shipping and have to backtrack and lowercase it myself before i turn really red and the top of my head pops off and steam comes out. like is there anyone in the world whos actually like yeah its so convenient for me that whenever i want to type Amazon the brand i dont have to do an extra press of the button made for making the first letter big because i need to be proper when im using swipe to text and capitalize all my favorite brand names. and when i have to pause my typing to make the letter small because there isnt a button for that, well, thats just fine. this sounds so fucking butthurt but its because i am butthurt this has been my mortal fucking enemy since they updated swype to do this in like 2018

[darkness-compelled]

i don't want to care or have emotions about it. but my swype keyboard makes me want to hurt and kill myself daily. like where do you get off capitalizing random words? why do you struggle to switch from swipe to type? why the fuck do you type words not Even near the letters my fingers are on? w. t. a. f?
