Proofread is one word just do better.

I just don’t get what meaning can be conveyed through emojis that can’t be conveyed through words. It doesn’t bother me when other people use emojis, unless their meaning is ambiguous.
I always include too many commas and take some out when editing. English is looser with commas than many “nerds” or german (Russian may be even worse) writers would think.

The Who or The Rolling Stones?
I still find it interesting that Leonard Nimoy directed 3 Men And A Baby. And that he did so in agreement that he direct a Star Trek film and that’s why humpback whales are part of the plot of Star Trek 4.
110-120 wpm, and I only use a few fingers lol

There’s a weird thing, often seen in politics, where skepticism is seen as a more sophisticated stance than acceptance of conventional wisdom (or “gullibility”) if you prefer. I dare say that “skepticism” is the default view of most unsophisticated political observers (including Trump and many of his fans and the “man on the street” in many poorly run countries). Conspiracies are the stock and trade of such “skeptics”, as they still need an alternative account of events and mechanisms of power.
The more sophisticated stance than skepticism or “just asking questions” is the more philosophical approach of trying to understand facts and mechanisms and to offer a theory or account of how some system operates. In contrast to conspiracies, such accounts are constrained (ideally) by a reasonable understanding of the domain at issue and the facts that constrain theorizing. The more facts are known, the more constrained theorizing is.
One can of course seem either naive or profound when asking basic questions such as “how do we know numbers are real” or “how do we know anything about history”, with the difference being in part a function of the mastery of the topic under consideration.

This is a fine post, but it’s weird in the context of you just yelling at a bunch of smart, well-read people about the dangers of groupthink and the importance of being skeptical in the sense of being contrarian which was easy to read in the smug voice of the unrelentingly vocal philosophy undergrad who is actually smarter than most people but thinks he’s smarter than everyone.
This simplicitus reads like a response to that one.

That’s insane. 120 is ridiculously fast and with only a few fingers seems impossible.
