Interesting list. My handwriting is mostly what’s called “print handwriting” here, but my a and t are like the D’Nealian ones. And needless to say, my handwriting is not as pretty as any of these.

I never learned cursive, my native tongue uses an entirely different script, so for learning English as a second language, separate letters sufficed. This is what all cursive text looks like to me. I can never read it, even if I try really hard.

in case you’re not aware: modern browsers don’t actually keep all tabs loaded all the time.

:)! :)! :)! :)!

This would be read aloud as: S M I L E exclamation point! S M I L E exclamation point! …

(it would spell out the word “smile” instead of saying it)

This was perhaps the densest TTS runtime to character count.

I think I might

TL;DR (I only have a minute right now), does this change ANYTHING about the doll except a little note on the box she comes in?

Okay, I must confess, I knew about that, as well as the other options in the replies. I never used any of them but I knew they exist. When I asked it was sort of as a rhetorical question. People generally wouldn’t know about these obscure typing options, so I was playing the everyman.

Even if you do know it, if you don’t use it often enough you forget and have to look it up again next time.

That’s already banned in quite a lot of countries.

Nice. Perhaps better: you have a million dollar smile, unfortunately we don’t have change from a million

Without know this we don’t have enough context to assess the situation

Fair point. It’s still a red flag (in more ways than one!) but I accept it’s not definitive.

I’m not seeing it in Voyager, but I’m guessing you made a header:

Main header
===========

Level 2 header
--------------

The number of dashes or equality signs doesn’t have to match, so I think that’s what you did.

How the hell do you even type an em dash?

I’m sure it’s possible (I know it’s easy on a touch keyboard), but if the person who sent it has never used em dashes in their life, then it’s pretty definitive proof. Otherwise, it’s just a big clue that you might combine with other factors.

I’m delighted to report that I have no idea what gif you’re referring to, and I am happy to keep it that way

True (in most contexts, probably including this one), but I think that only makes the case for SQLite stronger. What people do still care about is a good flexible, usable and reliable interface. I’m not sure how to get that with YAML.

I think SQLite is a great middle ground. It saves the database as a single .db file, and can do everything an SQL database can do. Querying for data is a lot more flexible and a lot faster. The tools for manipulating the data in any way you want are very good and very robust.

However, I’m not sure how it would affect file size. It might be smaller because JSON/YAML wastes a lot of characters on redundant information (field names) and storing numbers as text, which the database would store as binary data in a defined structure. On the other hand, extra space is used to make common SQL operations happen much faster using fancy data structures. I don’t know which effect is greater so file size could be bigger or smaller.

I think smartphones definitely win when it comes to convenience, accessibility, and ease of use. Even at home I use my phone a whole dang lot for general chill purposes, even though I have bigger and better screens to use.

I can’t comment on porn because I genuinely never watch porn of any sort (yes, I’m serious), but I have watched and enjoyed YouTube and Netflix et al on my phone, even at home. I usually prefer a bigger screen but sometimes the portability wins out.

Me neither. But I also never watched porn on desktop. I watch porn exclusively on Nintendo 2DS. Isn’t that what everybody does?

I really don’t see what kind of percentage you were expecting. To me it looks almost exactly like the market share of android in the areas of the world where PH is used.

Under video game consoles, it lists 0.1% for “Other (3DS/PS Vita)”. Unless PornHub offers 3D porn that works on the 3DS (do they?!), I refuse to believe even 0.01% would use the 3DS browser in this capacity.

(On the other hand, that’s 0.1% of video game consoles, and I can’t imagine too many people use their consoles for porn in the first place… Basically I’d love to see absolute numbers for this)
