If ure not doing coding or academic language (or a few other niche industry uses), don't bother, you shouldn't.

If you're doing academic or journalistic writing, there are so many required parenthesis all over the place, so they have a bunch of rules that you need to use brackets for certain things instead, depending on the system. If I remember my APA right, it's square brackets when citing within a sentence within parenthesis (like this [vicious_snek6, 2026]) or like this when introducing an abbreviation in a citation (Kotaku in action 2 [KIA2], 2026) or "when you have a quote and you wanna flex on their mispelling [sic]" which of course means their entire argument is wrong. And about 100 other stupid little rules that are far less useful.

It's still a mess and horrible to read, but the square brackets do help keep it cleaner, and signal that something other than usual parenthetical information is happening, there's a system.

If you are getting to the point where you think it might be useful because you have a lot of parenthesis already, just fix your writing, don't use square brackets.

It’s because they aren’t allowed to iq test. So it became a weak proxy. As it hit weaker with ‘affirmative action’ and that they raised the reqs further. One of the causes of credentialism.

We need Weistein back. No more hogs. If winestein won't touch you, you don't need to be seen by millions.

My chiropractor is a jew. ... and doesn't try to rip me off in any way.

This is a work of art.

“Hello friend”

The fuck you say to me?!

(It’s ‘friend’ right? Just guessing from other Romance languages and context but there are always ‘false friends’)

Would aiding the ukraine or isreal be traitorous to the nation meaning the people, rather than the state?

Too early to parse this, did he reveal russia's locations or the ukraine's? Which do you mean.

There’s a middle ground to be found. Ever watched the room? It’s not just the bad acting, it’s the repeated overly long sex scenes.

I think anime breaks our conventions for it quite often. You get 20 action episodes then a sudden a gratuitous beach episode where some pervy 80 year old and/or the mc falls into the tits of a teen. That’s their culture so idc, but I don’t want that to become my culture.

Fan service can go too far and just be porn. I give the japs a pass, I just won’t engage with it, not my culture. But it doesn’t mean I want it everywhere in my culture and I certainly don’t want all the old classics made ‘adult’,

We've been enemies with mohammadans for two centuries.

About 7x longer than that.

in a world that looks like a corrupt Adobe InDesign doc.

This is interesting in small doses. If I wanted a corpo dystopia without going the usual cyberpunk style, it fits. Would make a good level.

But it's just an assault on the retinas. Do I want to spend 30 mins with johhny silverhand infiltrating and destroying this corp? Yeah. Do I want to play it for hours upon hours? Absolutely fucking not.

I imagine that even of those who do appreciate it, a fair chunk of us appreciate it at a distance.

I’d rather listen to a liberal woman at this point. Thanks.

previous wave of criminal eastern europeans and yeah, turkish, it's not that odd. It's just overshadowed by the paki pedo gangs. But they're still there too, running the garbage scams and doing the trafficking.

People don't understand how much hate and resentment many Indians have against the west. They weren't finished being uplifted by the british, not like Singapore or something, no, they were still in the resist violently with terrorism stage, and they haven't let that blood fued go just because of a few generations. If anything, with rising indian pride being pushed, they are stoking those flames.

They aren't doing it because they are tired and cold, they're doing it to make you tired and cold.

The issue is that one side always sees it can gain and maintain power by expanding it out just a little bit more.

Letting 16 year olds and illegals vote was inevitable.

no you're right. They're terrible games and I've been saying they are overrated for ages. Decent enough world and ost, but the mechanics/controls and balancing are just completely awful. And with good mod support. Which is what saves it and why them making an online-only thing was retarded.

What is the usual churn? Don't a lot of them usually get laid off after the project is done?

1/3 does seem very high, I just wanna know if it's up from a natural 25%, or a natural 10%

Out in the sun, during summer, Mediterranean at best. Maybe. Which is why I say ambiguous.

They probably went with the broccoli cut because that's popular now among young dudes

Apparently not popular enough to get people to play and stay.

you're right.

Worst thing is I actually went and searched how to spell that one then it got lost by the time I came back to type the comment. Thought I had written extant.
