The only reason I know/knew is because I googled it way back when, ha!

IIRC, it had something to do with how the software formatted comments. If you just used regular spaces to try and line the triangles up, it wouldn’t work, because the formatting would ignore any spaces at the beginning of the comment. So you had to use a different kind of invisible character, one it wouldn’t ignore and get rid of, by using an alt key + number code that’s slipping my mind because I’m not in front of a keyboard to use the ol’ muscle memory.
(Although I rarely ever actually posted or commented. I took ‘lurk moar’ very seriously.)

A lot like how on here or Reddit when people try to do the shruggy guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but because of the way the formatting works they get ¯_(ツ)_/¯ since they don’t know enough to figure out how to make it display the way they want

… I’m sleep deprived, can you tell? Lmao

That’s exactly what I was just thinking! Lemmy’s formatting doesn’t work the same way, so it doesn’t work correctly here. I think this is the best I can get it, lol.

Samsung’s statement said that it wasn’t their fault and that external factors were solely responsible for this happening. What external factors would cause this?

I think this is only my second time playing. I did a lot better than I thought I would, especially considering all the brain damage I have, neuro issues, and pain-brain and brain fog I’m experiencing. Woohoo! :)

Haha! I’m the EXACT same way. I’m glad I’m not alone. I feel for you!

I’m glad you’re around, Alyaza! I’m bummed that cohost is shutting down, too, but I’m not surprised. Your website looks good, I like it!

My week has been pretty shitty, as usual. I’m really sick of this awful, useless brain and body I’m stuck with and the horrible, unhealthy environment I’m stuck in. I wish humane euthanization was an option. But, it’s not. I don’t want some poor, innocent person to have to find a body and deal with the trauma of it; that wouldn’t be fair to them. So I’m stuck. Life is hell and I’m tired. Tired of being useless and miserable and broken. Bleh. There’s so much more I want to get out, but my poo brain won’t turn it into words.

I wish the world was better and so many undeserving people weren’t suffering. I hope things get better for everyone here who are having difficult times and I wish I was able to respond to everyone directly.

I’m so sorry you’re having such a difficult time. I wish I could fix it for you! I hope your brain eases up on you soon and things improve for you ASAP.

I feel like there’s a lot more I want to say, but my brain is a turd and I can’t find the words. I really, really feel for you and you’re not alone, although I know it doesn’t make it suck any less. You deserve better. I hope you’re doing your best to be kind and understanding to yourself as you would with a beloved friend (but goodness I know how difficult that is/easier said than done!) 💖💖💖
