  • Most of my stupid spelling mistakes, missing words, and other typing errors are because I developed the terrible habit of proofreading only in the instant between hitting the post button and the subsequent UI refresh. The better my lemmy host is running, the lower the readability of what I’ve posted.

    I’ve also noticed that muscle memory does some strange stuff to my typing. Like in the first sentence of this comment I typed “instance” rather than “instant.” I meant instant but, since I work with AWS 5 days a week, my fingers autopiloted instance because I type it much more often.



  • I don’t remember a talk about the mechanics of sex, pregnancy, STDs, etc. Clearly my parents were talking to me about that stuff without scarring me because I also knew it all long before sex ed (or really even before I gave any real thought to sex).

    What I remember is the awkward talk with my mom after I got my first serious girlfriend about how “horny doesn’t last nearly as long as fatherhood,” the costs of hasty decisions, and “emotional responsibilities.” To be fair, there were a lot of strollers at my HS graduation and I was glad to not be pushing any of them.
