Yeah. So you pop one off the stack, but in processing that item, you push 10 more things on the stack. And the same happens when you pop one of those 10 items off the stack.

Guilty, but now I'm considering switching to footnotes¹. They let you express a related thought without disrupting the flow².
¹I blame House of Leaves. Lotta footnotes in there, and they can go a long way before they really get out of hand.
² Sure there are cons, like the fact that the reader has to go to the bottom for context, but there's also no real length limit.
Ooooh! I like how you think!

Since one email with {[()]} in it,I really force myself to cut back on that... Now it takes me three times as long to type a bloody answer to anything ...
wrote last edited by [email protected]Lol, I did that too!
But people bitched abut it & about me being weird so now I just ((())) if it's really needed (or if my brainhole just can't/refuses to rephrase the text ... or I ran out of fucks).

Hot damn (I'm so [so] "guilty" of this); seriously – it's no even (or odd) funny!

I send my work emails to my boss to proof read cause I can’t be trusted to be succinct and relevant (not that they force me to, I just overthink).

You'll love German speakers then. In my experience they love bonus content thoughs as well as math equations in their thoughts like "=" for reframing a thought or "=>" for concluding a thought.

ADHD person here. Been making an effort lately to use less parenthesis. A thing I quickly found is that many of them can be replaced with a comma just fine. Or, just like, taking the extra two seconds to turn one run-on sentence into two. (But then again turning my comments into puzzles is fun).

Not a German but I'm dutch so close I guess, and I pretty regularly use =/= and == in text. I picked up == from IT class, not sure about =/=

Of course, it often then becomes a comma splice; in that case, a period or semicolon works (but I use comma splices constantly anyway).
