I don't think so. Political debates online are about OWNING that lib/fash and WINNING to most people. It was a twitter thread. I think people's need for this is more important than whatever principles people claim to have, too.
Idk both the colon and semicolon look ugly af to me here, and the colon use is a first for me. But it doesn't matter. You can do that and be the trendsetter at prom.
i dont kno
the 'tribal' descriptor was one that was applied to many early 2000s techno releases
generally i most closely associate it with guys like oliver ho & his meta label
https://www.discogs.com/artist/4197-Oliver-Ho
although most of the releases from that time don't have a huge emphasis on bass because it could literally destroy heads on record cutting lathes or make a record nearly unplayable because of how RIAA eq compensation works
some jeff mills things might be called "tribal',;:
this is the issue with jungle and drum and bass. it's too fast... need something not as slow as trip hop, but not this fast, ideally.
How do you feel about dashes?

that's dash cunning
well i dont know what that would be, im trying to imagine what 115 bpm or whatever tribal is and all i can think of is em:t shit like woob
or rhythm and sound records
sometimes people use en dashes in place of em dashes and it comes off as lazy
sometimes people go way overboard with em dash usage like @Legato & @Carsonzilla and it comes off as try hard to the point where they need that privilege taken away
It's because it's so versatile. One drunk on the power of dashes begins to wonder why we have any other punctuation at all.
yesterday i swa someone using two en dashes -- instead of a proper — and i slammed my laptop shut with my fist
COWARD
The text editor is supposed to know that two hyphens = a dash tbqh
yeah well a man ought to be familiar with the limitations inherent in his toolset and work within them
only craftsmen who hold their manhood cheap would besmirch their reputation by dispensing with such fodder

Yeah, but only when they're rare: it's so ugly when people use a ton of them

Oh yeah? you feel a type of way about apostrophes?
Big fan of overusing em dashes in my apa papers and getting docked points for it
not particularly about apostrophes, but learning about their recent history and our lingering tendencies to use them "wrong" says a lot about what punctuation really is at the end of the day.
my favorite part of reading about all that was a story of some town in England somewhere recently tried to remove all apostrophes from the city's signage and people were PISSED, starting a successful movement to save the apostrophe from the city government
the city government was mostly right, though. we really don't need apostrophes. their use has more to do with Middle English than the English of today. but damnit, we just like looking at apostrophes.
