"Beware those that would deny you access to information, for in their heart they dream themselves your master." โ Sid Meyers:I've tested MD and honestly I don't like it. Bold/italics add unnecessary noise/clutter and the font is already monospace, suited for code, so inline code & code fences are not needed. If 3rd party clients want to implement them it's fine but I'm sensitive to visual noise.

I have a theory that it's because they fear the weaker one that has been suffering and bottling emotions for days, weeks, or even months. once it's unbottled, the bullied won't stop until they're sure they won't be bullied again, and that could be bad... for the school and the teacher.

my dad taught me to never hit other kids, even when I'm bullied, otherwise I would lost the "right side" of the fight. but if it's life or death I could react. and I would always report to school, after 3 times I was allowed to hit back the bully

ooh maybe I revive hallucinate.site and add this feature but instead of being able to modify everything it would be limited to adding features to the game/world. And itโs the perfect domain, a site thatโs been entirely mostly hallucinated.
