You know i like to think I have it under control. No outbursts control over irritants etc and I think in doing pretty good. Then someone posts some shit like this and I'm all "get out of my head" . Nice to know I'm not the only one giving the brackets a work out.

I feel like a semicolon or colon would be better here than parentheses

[–] Adakar47@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Why not all of the above?

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

I find that semicolon connotes "Concept B follows from, but is distinct from, Concept A", while parens connote "Concept B follows from, and is intertwined with, Concept A".

Because all thoughts are intertwined.

My mrs wires entirely in parentheses - it’s subclauses all the way down. She’s not ADHD though, likely OCD.

learn to appreciate nested parentheses.

because some ideas are fractals of thought

When she was finishing her thesis my number one line of advice was “could this subclause be a new sentence?”.

it's not her fault she thinks fractally rather than linearly.

Hot damn (I'm so [so] "guilty" of this); seriously – it's no even (or odd) funny!

Read this to my husband.

Him: "I never know where the punctuation goes, so I rewrite it so the () are in the middle of the sentence and I don't have to worry about it."

Me: "I do that too!"

Him: (because we've been together almost 30 years) "I don't think we've ever talked about this."
