    This author writes like an insufferable teenage cryptobro that got a little older and got a degree, but never actually grew up. I guess he’s after a very specific audience though.

    Still though, slogging through that prose is slightly more annoying than a feisty chihuahua. Which itself is irritating, because I kinda want to know his actual opinions without having to dig them out of something full of endless paragraphs of his pointless bullshit fluff.

    Ugh. Kids, if you write like that, you’re literally what Shakespeare was making fun of like, a bunch of centuries ago, with that whole “brevity is the soul of wit” char. He was viciously mocking you, a dozen-plus generations ago. Just get your point out.

      The article wasn’t just wordy. I had to scroll back up to see if I was still scrolling through the same article…lol

        I had a friend who would say “to make a long, drawn-out, wordy, and boring story a little less long, drawn-out, wordy, and boring…”
