Well, you see, Moby Dick is a book. That account posts random excerpts from the book. Sometimes out-of-context passages can sound funny or like innuendo. This is such a passage. So my joke is asking how is it this book has stuff from my diary, my personal journal, in it. This site is a social netwo-

AITA: Me and Morla, the giant turtle from the Neverending story are doing a foot race. She’s gaining. I look down and see that she’s actually resting atop a fleet of racing snails. I yell, “that’s cheating!” She goes, “we don’t even give a f*** whether or not we give a f***.” I quit the race. AITA?

Thanks for reacting to my observation of how in the pic, the political guys kinda physically look like the Munster guys with an observation of your own about how the Munster guys, as characters, were actually NICE. UNLIKE the POLITICAL guys who actually?.. are NOT nice.

Ok, phew! I knew there was a more reasonable explanation. The kids simply take the time to go into settings and disable the thing that makes the typing normal, so that the typing can then be permanently cool.
Captain Disillusion (@captaindisillusion.bsky.social)
Ok, this is not me doing a bit.. I just have a genuine, extremely boomer question: assuming most people post from a phone, when someone types all cool with no caps or punctuation, are they sitting there manually declining every grammar auto-correct as they type? I really hope not.. that's too sad.

In this case I’m very obviously describing a tool to do run-throughs of a screenplay. So it would be LIKE an audio play but not good enough to ACTUALLY be one. It would be for helping a person refine a screenplay. So that the screenplay could be used for person-made production of moving pictures.

In a world where we HAVE to have ai features shoved in everything, I wouldn't mind an advanced text-to-speech inside Final Draft that reads dialogue with character voices but depicts the action descriptions with sound design like a radio drama, with correct timing. Would be super useful.
