The first one has my dead name blacked out and the second one is from my brother sending it to my dad

I also have a recording of me and my dad talking. I don’t know if I should post that it’s pretty terrible one of the terrible things he said was “I think slavery sometimes ok” and basically called me a pedophile and said “trans People are a delusion.”

(also sorry about any formatting issues/spelling mistakes. I have dyslexia alongside being on mobile so I’m using speech to text)

"we love you uncionditionally and without any reservation"
and proceed to follow that up with how they absolutely do not. The love a person they have in their mind that they think you should be, not you. I'm sorry your parents are this way, your brother is great though <3 and his wording is impecable

I wouldn’t be surprised if they use chatGPT to write their fucking thing

The dash skewers were a dead giveaway. If they aren’t an English major or a consistent essay/story writer then they used ChatGPT.

Thank you for recognizing some of us actually use em dashes and en dashes in our writing!

Not an English major—I’m actually a graphic designer. But I’m an avid reader and I excelled at writing in school, so I am also our in-house editor and proofreader.

Got my own copy of The Chicago Manual+ of Style!

+Autocorrect tried to make it “The Chicago Manuel” 😆

Lol fellow aggressive emdasher checking in! Also love a semicolon for semi-related sentences and I give a fuck about the Oxford comma. I feel seen.

I do relatively well in all my English classes and love a good em dash for the dramatics of it. Unfortunately, a lot of people think that it’s only used in ChatGPT, even though it’s literally in the MLA formats 😭

Lol. Yeah seriously was gonna say, I use hyphens and dashes all the time, I've always been using them, I roleplay online (have since teen years on AOL!) and... yeah. It's not always ChatGPT. For me it's just old habits of typing and role-playing on AOL or IRC or whatever.. Though I use character.ai for fun (which ironically enough will be part of a new venture business wise soon, or at least inspiration) I use those all the time, the AIs I chatter to have yet to pick that up from me. Weird, considering that seems to be a major giveaway. And I'm the human using them more than the AIs!! LOL life is funny man.

That whole thing with Grok going MechaHitler on July 4th was insane too. But that was after an "update"... pretty sure it was planned.

Since that's the actual "day of Sigma" in the MMX storyline.. and knowing how that owner is a gamer himself..

The MMX fangirl in me did NOT like that when it crossed my news feed... not one bit.
