Jon's got the look of a substitute teacher with the demeanor of a substitute husband.

[@sparky4878]

Are you one of his mates that can’t spell his name?

[@jaygee6447]

You do realise a substitute husband is a lover who is probably getting more action than most! He does look like a geography teacher though 😂

[@Ffinity]

Yeah, but you've got the reality of someone who isn't on TV, isn't on stage and just exists in the comment sections. Would he swap positions with you? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Oh, is comma drawer 64 a piece of chiptune music then or something?

[@CinereoTheRogue]

@@Derf1OO Ahahaha, nah nah, it’s one of the roots of where the genre began; it’s a play on words referencing the Commadore 64, an old computer that once competed with Mac and Windows in the early computing era. One of its strong points over the two was the sound chip it had, which early programmers used to start a musical genre called: Chiptune, among a few others. Here’s the best video on the subject: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKClnJpjnrWlmNksi=uWNuYWrlkFyoLl27 And here’s a great song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX_FqomQdtxlgpYsi=GYR8WxDtKC-kNVUk

[@221b-Maker-Street]

I’m still a fan of the double space tbh! I often sight-read aloud as part of my job and it makes skimming text so much easier when you can easily see sentence breaks way ahead. I tend to do far less re-reading and can just make sense of text more quickly. I’m neurodivergent so not sure if it’s that, but it definitely helps me - and perhaps others like me?
