For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

      the ellipses at the end of this is throwing me off lol, like there’s something you’re implying. so what? what on earth is your point lol - so that’s the solution? every monitor and tv should have the ability to rotate 90° to accommodate for the masses’ laziness/ignorance/whatever the reason is? and people should get off of their couch and walk up to their TV and manually rotate it depending on the media they are viewing?

      all of this that despite the fact that yes, the screen would now be the right orientation, but it still doesn’t address the fact that portrait is just inherently the inferior choice for video (unless the video is of a single person standing upright and not moving i guess)

        ellipses

        I tend to use the ellipsis in the end to indicate one of:

        1. I am going to write more in the next message.
        • This tends to apply more during Internet Messaging chats.
        1. I will leave the rest for you to have fun extrapolating, considering that what comes next would be different depending upon the conditions.
        • e.g. I could continue with, “When I really want to watch something in the maximum possible size, I just turn it.” or something like that.
        • Simply put, stuff that is not useful enough to be wasting time for you, reading, as your brain can quickly extrapolate it without converting it into languaged though.
          • Why? I read something somewhere, which, to me meant: Write less, mean more; Read less, understand more. One of the reasons we have abbreviations. Because writing and reading takes longer than thinking upon something that has already entered your brain.
