@trendless also sorry for my continuing rant but this is how I keep my low

my expertise is also sales.. quite legendary at it & the best way to sell is a teeny tiny bit of

30% will never ever buy
30% are already sold
the last 33.3% can go either way

& do not understand sales but selling this is an & nuance doesn’t matter if you can’t get their attention

It’s called a or & tbh get them confused always so🤷🏻‍♀️

Hm, I wonder what this snippet of HTML is trying to say… 🤔

<button type="button" class="button" id="button" role="button" title="Button">Button</button>

Had it only been a bit more elaborate and to the point.

@Oldfartrant I can tell! 😂 I actually have one like that, but I've a neck like an ostrich, so I probably need more/new ones.

I have a 100$ gift card to... Idk bed, bath, beyond or something, which should cover the price of exactly one pillow there!

>to take a break from all SoMe
Excuse me, what?!

I'm "sorry" that you don't even understand how the feature you suggest would actually end up (not) working IRL. When every word can be a #, eventually every word will be a #. And a function who's purpose is to highlight that a word can be marked as # will eventually mark all words as #.
Sure, is a bit of an . But can and will to heights. Again, if you can't this, you haven't see enough .

>infinite hell of checking out hashtags?
Let's say post A has 5 #. I find it interesting. I want to check the 5 # to see if there's anything else interesting going on. I find posts B C D E F, each having another 1-3 different # than the initial 5 #. You see how this can quickly degenerate?

> hashtags are part of the format. if you hate it so much, what are you even doing here?
Look around you, how many # do you actually see people using on here?
And it's not the hashtag itself I hate, I dislike your idea of turning it into a game of "gotta catch'em all".
Do you just not comprehend how your concept is basically your computer being a passive aggressive bitch at you: "Are you sure you don't want to # these words too? Maybe it will get better reach if you do it."

We are all for but needs to be honest about the estimated number of .

> "attended by thousands".

Erm. No. We were there and it was attended by about 250 it was a good, healthy turnout, but definately not thousands.

If are they will not be trusted to report on other matters that might be more important (not to diminish the importance of a rally of 250 people).
