People that use 30 words to say something that could've been said with 10.

Just stop talking. I heard what you said in the first sentence, there's no need to re-word and tell me again.

You mean, kind of like when you typed the second sentence to re-word and tell us about the first one again?

We read what you said in the first sentence, there was no need to re-word it and tell us again.

I don't know why, but it seems increasingly common for people to refer to their baby as babe, and calling them babe like it's their name. If this is a trend, I don't care for it.

Although I'd rather hear someone talk about their new babe all day than someone calling kids fuck trophies or crotch fruit or whatever else they call them. If that's you, know that you're a worse person than someone who says "I'm taking babe for a walk." That person is better than you, and you need to sit down and take a real long look at the choices you're making. Because that person is awful, and you'd have to improve from where you are now to be called awful.

I wrote this back in 2022, and today I'd like to add sky daddy to the list of cringy things people say. Whatever the opposite of clever is, these sayings are all equally that.

I thought Sky Daddy was normally called Nexus. I fly as little as possible so I'm not a subject matter expert here.

In the sprawling expanse of human interaction and discourse, a prevailing and pervasive phenomenon emerges – the propensity for individuals to eschew brevity in favor of linguistic opulence. It is a multifaceted journey into the intricacies of communication, where succinctness becomes an elusive wisp amid the labyrinthine corridors of prolix expression. Humans, driven by a primal instinct to convey the complexities of their thoughts, often find themselves ensnared in the siren song of verbosity, creating a dense and convoluted tapestry woven with the threads of superfluous embellishments and meandering circumlocutions.

The art of conciseness, it seems, is a rarefied skill that eludes many, as they embark on a linguistic odyssey marked by a conspicuous absence of brevity. The reluctance to encapsulate one's ideas within the confines of succinct sentences becomes a testament to a deeper yearning for exhaustive expression, teetering on the precipice of verbosity. This penchant for linguistic profligacy not only tests the endurance of the audience but also casts a shadow over the clarity of the intended message, shrouded in the intricate layers of verbosity.

Within the realms of conversation and written dialogue, the verbosity epidemic proliferates like an unchecked contagion, manifesting itself in protracted diatribes that delve into the recesses of the human psyche. The unwillingness to distill one's thoughts into concise forms becomes an inadvertent manifestation of the quest for comprehensive elucidation, a journey that occasionally veers towards cognitive fatigue on the part of the recipient.

The origins of this linguistic profligacy beckon contemplation, prompting an exploration into whether it emanates from an innate desire to be exhaustive or an unconscious aversion to the perceived constraints of brevity. It is as though the human mind, in its quest for thorough expression, feels compelled to unravel every nuance, weaving a dense narrative that may, at times, inadvertently lead to the muddling of the intended message.

In the contemporary era, where attention spans wane and information inundates every facet of our lives, the significance of conciseness assumes paramount importance. Yet, paradoxically, individuals armed with the vast arsenal of language embark on verbose odysseys, seemingly oblivious to the virtue of succinctness. This paradox raises questions about whether verbosity is an inadvertent byproduct of the human need for connection, as if the sheer volume of words used brings one closer to being truly understood.

As the digital age unfolds its multifaceted tapestry, the labyrinthine nature of human expression stands as a testament to the intricate dance of communication. Navigating this labyrinth demands a delicate balance between comprehensive elucidation and the art of conciseness, an endeavor that necessitates a conscious effort to traverse the vast terrain of language with finesse. It is a journey that invites introspection, urging individuals to ponder the inherent value of brevity in a world where words, though abundant, often struggle to convey the essence of intention with the crystalline clarity that conciseness affords.

apparently my neighbours snow shoveler has decided my side yard and fence is a good proxy for a toilet.

Then had the gall to deny it when I confronted the homeowner about it.

fresh snow idiot, doesn't take investigative genius to connect the rear apron you just cleared, with the set of prints over to my side yard and a set of prints back.

Fax machines. The single largest thing holding back humanity. Doctor and pharmacist both shrugging, but another prescription has gotten lost in the ether this week. Fucks sake.

Are fax machines considered a ‘secure’ means to send private info? Not sure what else is keeping them around.

People say they are. They are not, but people still say they are. Just brutal.

I don't see anything wrong with this...lights are clear and windshield is clear...

Its called exposure therapy. You should definitely do this. I recommend starting with half a raw chicken thigh and work your way up to the big hormone injected chicken breasts over the course of several weeks

[Darell_n]

Big hormone injected breasts are always the answer.

"Sorry, I can't do faxes from where I am."

"Oh, where are you?"

"Twenty-Fucking Twenty-Four!"

[ExtraSlow]

At this point it seems to be the medical stuff that still uses faxes.

Back in like 2008 I had one of those "virtual Fax" numbers, like everyone in my company did. I used to routinely get peoples credit account info, because my number was extremely similar to that of a major credit reporting agency. I couldn't get the credit reporting agency to care.
