Em dashes and emojis
You can pry my em dashes — which I use regularly in writing because I love them — from my cold dead hands (To be fair, I really like parenthetical statements too, could be an ADHD thing).

Humans just use dashes - they get the point across and don't require esoteric button presses.

Some phones turn hyphens into an em dash.
Fuck using an alt code though, I'm just gonna use a comma even when I shouldn't

Including this very platform.
Lemmy will automatically render a double dash -- as an en dash, and a triple dash --- as an em dash.
I usually just type alt + 0151, though, because I'm a nerd.

That's how you can know that you're just a simulation.

You're providing a thought (and a bonus thought)

But it just doesn't look right. I use a double dash, but most places now convert that automatically to em dash.

On the iPhone I just long-press the dash and get alternates like en and em dash, as well as middot. Otherwise, no esoteric button presses. Works on macOS and iPad too.

git push origin main --forceI once wasted an hour trying to figure out why a CLI command straight from a project's README wouldn't work, only to figure out that they had em dashes instead of regular dashes in their example. Ended up opening a PR to hopefully save someone the same pain in the future.

I'm so sorry your chat bot broke up with you

Not all heroes wear capes. Some just open PRs. Thank you for your service. 🫡

Love that you picked up on this from my comment and not the meme.
We’re all in a simulation

If you're already breaking up over text, you probably aren't in a position to worry much about how they interpret your typography. And if they haven't noticed how you normally write there's even less reason to worry about it.

So you're saying if I start using the long dash people will block me faster?
Love it.

I'm with you. I used to use a lot more parentheses, but the break is cleaner. I opt for en dashes, though, because I find too em dashes to be too long. That could just be a MSWord preference because I don't distinguish on other platforms.
