A pet-peeve of mine is single spaces after periods. I prefer two spaces after periods. This is a stylistic choice of mine although when I was in college writing philosophy papers that's how we were instructed to do it. But I guess the single space after a period today a standard. Same thing with the hypen vs. the dash. the dash is two hyphens -- not this -. Although I find the hyphen often looks better as a dash because our writing is becoming more condensed with technology. This is probably why the single space after a period has come back as a stylistic dominant. One space after periods makes sentences look overly mooshed together in my opinion. Don't get me started on people who don't uppercase letters when that's absolutely required lol. I'm also realizing I'm not a huge fan of overuse of emojis either -- but don't let my taste dictate anything for anyone.
My pet peeve is bad writing. This ^ post is a good example of generally bad writing. Let's just make that a rule here, no bad writing. I understand if English is a second language, but there's no excuse for this.

It's still down - with no communication from Leo at all - i think its a week now.
HIs blog is tied to the website/forum so unless he putx out a video no one knows what is going on. And all videos stopped months ago.
I hope all is well with him, that's all i can say. It could be nothing, but i've never seen it offline for this long, its usually just a few hours.
I can't imagine he had a complete disaster and failure of the hard drives - its possible though - i'm not sure what type of redundancy he had and I don't think he hosted it in the cloud.
Maybe he just finally realized what an utterly sad joke it all was. Maybe you should too.

Trump is getting figuratively boned by a guy named Pecker ...what hack is writing reality right now?

This is projection like a movie. But not like a movie in the sense there’s something or someone projecting and something or someone projected upon.
I'd say that's the defining feature of "projection like a movie", so...if it's not projecting like that, why use the term, unless it's more like something else that projects?

Looking / seeing is projection.
And projecting is imposing separation, or separateness being apparent?
-
5 minutes ago, Phil said:
Yeah. This is it.
What would no longer projecting look like?

Just by being this / projecting.
Ok...so there is projecting then.

This is inherently meaningful.
How can any earnest question be not meaningful if "this" is inherently?

Re member
In other words what re's with the member if re was never not membered?

@Jonas Long no you to re
There's no you to type either, but it seems to happen.

Re member
How can you re if there's no separation to begin with?

This is inherently meaningful.
What exactly makes the last inquiry meaningless? Does projection occur? Can we colloquially disown traits and assume they belong to others?
-
2 minutes ago, Phil said:
That’s meaningless.
Can you say anything meaningful?
-
1 minute ago, Phil said:
Meaning is apparent, if at all.
If I'm projecting so to speak onto other people so to speak, how would I go about re-owning my projections so that I didn't blame shit on other people?

Separation is an apparent context.
1 hour ago, Phil said:Probably. May be contextual.
So what does it mean that some thing may be contextual?
-
9 minutes ago, Phil said:
Probably. May be contextual.
There are separate contexts?

Is calling someone a "bum" considered name calling?

Holy nailed it.
‘All the king’s horses & all the king’s men’ are essentially the emperor's new clothes.
Does a figurative fractioning take place though? Learning about separateness etc.?

I was at this show(not recording)

(Expletive deleted), we're either talking about something like what the thread offered as a subject or not, we can totally not, but why is my counterpoint the sticking point where its gone too far and we cant actually talk about the proposed subject anyway?

@Jonas Long I get it, it seems pretty serious when you're a person in a world of people.
Isn't it funny you've been calling out my mistakes as meaningful when you are misreading me, and making mistakes of your own in your responses?
-
Yeah, not evolved enough here to not criticize or call out injustice if I see it...probably never will be, so, lost cause here.

Nothing I'm just making fun of Phil for making a thread called "housekeeping" to address his one weird pet peeve, and making fun of Joseph Maynor for his consistent poor use of the English language, because I am a dick.
