Something great about my mom is that, to this day, she always* will listen when I have a new fun fact to share and I don't think I encountered anyone as a child who gave me that much attention

*in meatspace at least

@progo Haha yeahhhh good point. It's all so janky!

I find it WILD that any school authority would stick with PowerSchool after all this drama

In Mexico you can pay for a blood transfusion from the comfort of your hospital bed.

In the USA they (still!) have to take your credit card away from you at a restaurant to take your payment. Which one of these is a first-world country‽

People whinging about connector standards changing too quickly and conflating it with planned obsolescence is one of my favourite things

@sabbatical Well… I'm a fan of him now!

If you go to send a message to someone and your messaging platform shows the other person has notifications muted or whatever, does that cause you to re-evaluate if you should send it now?

Espousing my superior knowledge of colour theory—because I took a course on it in college, the perfect flex—is a key part of my personal brand

@sabbatical I'm so tempted to say "all of them" but there's a few favourites:

Title case for some things, sentence case for others (either all the same or don't change case, IMO)

No period after a URL in citations but other fields of a citation should have a period.

Varying indent rules depending on what part of a paper you're in.

And above all, no footnotes! I'd much rather have footnotes than endnotes.

Google, Facebook, Skype, and HTC's emoji designs propagate the negative stereotype that people who wear glasses are nerds. https://emojipedia.org/nerd-face/

I really don’t get so many of the choices within APA formatting

Visiting the Netherlands? https://levisan.me/articles/visiting-the-netherlands.html

"Pay rise" instead of "pay raise" seems so weird to me

@airsick Glad I'm not the only one!

The weirdest thing about knowing some Dutch is seeing names that might be Dutch and pronouncing them accordantly instead of only defaulting to English pronunciation rules.

No idea if Maljaars is a Dutch name or not but I said the j as /j/ instead of /dʒ/
