Sounds like something that would yank me out of the immersion every time. Why would anyone agree to that b.s.

No; I am even practicing speed reading at times.

I think title case has been made mostly obsolete online where title distinction can be made in a bazillion other, nicer ways. Especially here, where the title is basically all you see before clicking through. 🤷♂️ My two cents.

I think the ideal would be to stop unnecessary capitalization. 🙂
Why do you want capitalization?

I did get it after a few seconds, thanks.
I know it’s “correct”, it’s just very bad. There really is absolutely no need whatsoever for using capitalization like this. Zero defensible point to it, IMO. All it serves to do is add extra mental overhead. Just like the weird “why use many word when few ok” grammatical structure.
It only sounds extremely pretentious to me. Especially when sometimes the author doesn’t really master the language in the rest of the article. (Not saying this was the case here though.)

I don’t like it when titles that contain names of things have all their words’ initials capitalized. I find my brain having to work hard to find the last word in the name. Partly because title grammar in general is so convoluted, as well.

I hear you, that’s a very valid perspective.
- Comment on Thanks, doc 2 days ago:
I think the “joke” is that those side effects would make you very sad as well. Pretty counterproductive to the whole problem itself. 😅
But hey, I’m very glad you made it out of that state, and your girlfriend sounds like a real keeper. 💖 Keep on trucking! 🙏

They missed the part about “turn the other cheek”. Maybe that’s not in their religion, eh.

You good, partner?

You know what I mean? It doesn’t have to be harder than that. It used to be how we showed each other what is acceptable and what isn’t. That… doesn’t seem to “take” anymore.

It really was something special. It came out during my formative years, and the Double Dash, Sunshine, and Luigi’s Mansion discs were in the cube so much. Also the best controller of all time. So comfy.

So your commute is a fraction of a commute in the US.
lol what. My commute is that long. Lots of people have longer commutes than 30–45 minutes here too. I’m one person. An anecdote. 😆

20 min bike ride. Also I don’t use gasoline or diesel, I have an EV.
- Comment on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer 1 week ago:
I prefer their remakes, not gonna lie. Improvements to gameplay QoL here and there, good looking graphics, better frame rates(!).
And I grew up with on NES and N64. I know what it was like. The slow frame rate is a big source of frustration for me, personally. But upgraded visuals are a big plus to me also.
- Comment on US diesel prices hit a record high, pushing up transportation costs for a long list of goods 1 week ago:
Still less than 75 % of the maximum price of gasoline here during the pandemic in combination with the Ukraine war. 😅
Gas price is only more expensive.
Diesel is $8.30 here now.

Ah, I went by the image. Okay, $5.85 is still about ¾ of the price. 😄
- Comment on US diesel prices hit a record high, pushing up transportation costs for a long list of goods 2 weeks ago:
$4.43 per gallon is still only ⅔ of the price as in Northern Europe right now lol. But I guess we’re better off to pay for it? Less dependent on it? I dunno. I have an EV so it’s whatever for me, personally.

Yeah that’s pretty interesting actually, the whole money decay thing in your bank account. I hadn’t thought of that before you mentioned it.

What is the definition of “getting ahead”, if you don’t mind?
