It bothers me to an absurdely strong degree that random words are capitalized.
Not random. They are capitalizing words for emphasis, similarly to if they said it as big of me or hold grudges — using title case like that also makes it seem like it's a sort of monolithic idea worthy of a formal noun, like Always remember to Brush Your Teeth!
Even then...those are weird parts of the sentence to emphasize.
Compounded by the fact that's not how capitalization works. 🤦🏼♂️ Ya gotta learn the system before getting creative with it; blowing through a trumpet is not "jazz", it's just making fart noises through a tube.
As a decent writer with ADHD who is constantly receiving unbelievable smoke up my ass from my readers; It's not very Cash Money of you to judge what you're perhaps not understanding or worse, not considering.
Random titling of That which We Believe To Be Of Import, is—however triggering unto itself—just another of the ways we're out here coping with the "Mind Bees".
Consider the community you're in. Isn't it enough to be misunderstood and prejudged by those whose minds aren't divergent to the same degree?
Be the Change You Want To See.
This Whole Comment is actually pretty Cash Money.
The way I read it, being the bigger person and holding grudges are ideas that are so ingrained in society that they treated them like proper nouns for emphasis. Which seems appropriate for a meme-y delivery format like a tweet. Sort of like Patriot Caps, but less haphazard and more self-aware.
Yeah, it's weird but not as weird when you notice that only the keywords have the first letters capitalized.
