kink: deleting someone’s pointless comment by reblogging the post from the same person they did

I mean, that’s censorship but okay.

you make one fucking post where the point is “women are encouraged to develop disordered eating from a very young age and that impacts how we view the ‘natural’ size and shape of women” and too many reblogs later i am being accused of saying short people wouldn’t exist if they ate better growing up. i’m sorry but if you genuinely think i was saying that you are just a buffoon. i cannot and will not sanction your buffoonery.

Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.

And!

“If you’re breaking dialogue up with an action tag”—she waves her hands back and forth—”the dashes go outside the quotation marks.”

sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "mmmhmmm okay yeah i see we both interpreted that differently based on what the show gave us, but i see how you arrived at your ideas even if they're different from mine," and then sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "brother what show did you even fucking watch"

op how does it feel to be the most correct person on earth

I'll be honest with you -- I think people who ride extremely loud motorcycles late at night past residential areas should be very very glad that no one has yet figured out how to kill people with their minds.

I constantly think about what would happen if there was a reunion that became public in some way and Marc and Vale both say things like "it's better for our sport if we are speaking" and "allora it was a long time ago" and refuse to answer any questions about specifics including who apologized to whom (because normal people could not conceive of a world with no apology of any kind) and now all the the tangentially involved parties (Alex, Luca, Pecco, Bez) get pressed for details instead and they want to die. Every time a journalist sticks a microphone in their face it is a new potential minefield.

press interactions of affiliated rosquez parties in a post reunion world ranked on who hates it the least to who hates it the most:

tardozzi. poppin bottles big style. big ass smile to camera. planning joint marketing opportunities. if i were him you wouldnt be able to tell me SHIT

vale. not in the paddock so he can avoid it almost entirely if he wishes. gets asked about it by sky italia 3 months after it happens and segues immediately and effortlessly into talking about bez's chances at this track. flawless dismount

luca. cannot be bothered will not be bothered. he's like why do any of you care. anyways the crank shaft,

franky. says valentino rossi is the greatest sportsman of all time and he is glad that they have buried the hatchet. subtext that he will also not forget the previous 10 years but it is mild

bez. gets that consternated crease between his eyebrows like he is genuinely a lil confused or angry and then says that has nothing to do with me. marc and i have a good relationship. goes silent. 30 second bit about it on the paddock pass podcast later that day

marc. WILL stick his foot in his mouth and overexplain it in a way that will haunt him for 10 years before he comes up with a rote PR answer to parrot every time he talks about it from then on

alex. repeats marc's answer, is more mad about it

pecco: I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of, since 2014--
