This toot would work better if English had a future tense

Me and @chao@chitter.xyz had an idea:

The star wars movies, but instead of the force it's called the heck.

Whenever I see "anti-caking agent" as an ingredient on food packaging, I think of someone in a trenchcoat going around sabotaging bakeries.

also, even at these much-faster-than-expected speeds, it's not going to finish downloading for 3 hours, so idk what to do until then

linguistics, capital letters 

this is especially frustrating when you realise we only need around 44 letters to represent english phonetically, so we're learning even more glyphs than we would need
to if we switched to a phonetic system!

linguistics, capital letters 

I'm anti-capital letters - not in the sense that you shouldn't use them.

But in the sense that they add very little to our current writing system.

We don't have 26 letters in the English alphabet - we have 52, because many capital letters are completely different symbols to their lowercase counterparts:

a → A
d → D
g → G

So we have to learn twice as many symbols, just for names and the first letter of a sentence? Frustrating!

I'm gonna download borderlands 2, because it should run on my computer.

I'm so glad they made a linux version

long, beauty standards 

trying to get better at **not** complimenting people on their appearance.

A lot of people struggle with self-image, because it's impossible for everyone to meet everyone's beauty standards.

And I want to still express that I care for them, even if they don't look stunningly beautiful.
