Em-dash-loving humans forever. They will never take my em dash away from me. They call me Emily becuause I use dashes as much as Emily Dickinson. And because my name is Emily.

I thoroughly—very much so— enjoyed this post, and makes me want to—as I'm sure it does many—write a blog post—or toot—with em dashes. In fact—I would love to learn the alt code—could you add it—maybe—am I using it correctly—or are there no rules? Have a great—fabulous—day

@fri11s Looks perfect—I really think this will catch on. You see—even the most routine comment looks refined—considered—yet demure. Surely—a new standard is born.

Ooh, I think I've seen an AI model definitely using those a lot, but I didn't know it was a wider thing. Also, I thought it had been trained wrong since there was no space between the words and the em-dash, but that's how it's used correctly in English? In Finnish you're supposed to separate the dashes from the words with a space, apart from some cases like compound words.

Depends! Hyphens always get a space (except for compound words like you mentioned), as do en dashes. No spaces for em dashes is more traditional I believe, but I've seen it both ways so now I'd say it's personal preference!

No David Letterman Top 10s on a list of 10s? I'd start a big comment section fight right here if I did not fear confrontation and also respect your opinions.

Is this the most underrated gaming site on Neocities? Absolutely yes. Your retrospectives are top-notch.

Thank you Skep this actually made my day! I have been trying to read Neocities instead of news or social media and Skep's Place is one of those I check back regularly for, and I'm not just saying that! In fact I may make a page of my regular bookmarks, will help me to get off The Bad Stuff.

I just read a New Yorker essay on original texts and their role for readers in the modern age, but what the author failed to understand is that AI is not the intermediary- the intermediary is Skep.

Obviously, DDOSers are targeting Neocities in an attempt to prevent me from divulging some hidden truth about Calvin & Hobbes. Fight back by reading my newest entry of Tiger Tracks: https://skep.place/tiger-tracks/03-squabbles-spats

I used to wonder about that about Calvin and Hobbs as well when I read them as a kid xD

I actually never did! Until a couple months ago when I saw a sticker of Hobbes on the back window of somebody's truck and instantly had an idea for something to write about.

Will there be more goose facts? If I ever meet a goose I am banking on impressing it with goose facts in the hopes it decides to let me go.

I admit I've had no energy to browse or comment etc. myself, same with other "old school" sites I used to invest in like Dreamwidth :( It's just work, work, work and I also have just wanted to log off more lately.
I also noticed that. Why has it's become little bit harder for us maintain and get started personal web by technology advances? =(
I've been noticing that as well, and figured I accidentally followed a bunch of dead sites or something. Similiar to other comments, I have been also getting increasingly more exhausted by modern internet lately, to the point I feel that I need to tread carefully when exploring. Any more my personal computer is a resource to draw and write, but not connect with others. It's very disheartening.
yeah, personally, it's partially that i've gotten a job at the beginning of the year and thus had less time for ~activities~, but also a bit of burnout mixed in. it is very sad the social media has just made it so much more difficult to actually connect with other people or want to do much of anything, at all... [typo, rip]
When it comes to online, I'm just tired of the atmosphere. I tried to use my Facebook account in my "log off" quest, ran into bots. Tried to make an art blog on Tumblr, my only note currently was a bot reply. Everything is fake and just bloated with this new tech. Even more obscure spaces I used to enjoy I notice act similar to the rumored Russian troll farms from 2016...
I've lost a lot of interest in coding even if I wasn't spending the last year as a workholic due to circumstances. It currently doesn't feel worth investing in when so much of it is the same insanity or surface-level aesthetics as the "bad" mainstream sites. Even if you leave those sites, the behavior carries over since most users online are zoomers and young millennials under 35 who had that as their normal.
I'm not going to leave or delete anything, but I just need to blow off steam and it feels like genuine activity here and other hosts really has dipped in the last year :(
I've definitely felt burnt out, but I'd like to get back into my site! I have ideas for a new layout, it's just a matter of time and inspiration ;_; I definitely agree with you on the atmosphere of being online, too. It's so boring.
