But you're just trouble

Text

I’ve developed a tendency to write tl;dr posts

I start to write things and my mind wanders off or I end up wanting to talk about things more. 

I have a bad habit of rambling, or maybe not a bad habit but I don’t think that it’s necessarily a bad thing… some people enjoy reading the random musings of others.

I’ve seen in the past a few people I follow mentioning their use of the enter key…

Which does this.

I understand why some people would apologize for over-using it because obviously it means that a post takes up more space on people’s dashboards. 

Well if people have chosen to follow you and then would begrudge you for taking up a little extra space on their stupid dashboards then they are probably not the kind of people that are worth apologizing to.

But

The enter key can be a good thing… especially when one is tl;dr-ing.

It breaks everything up into bitesize chucks of text, and in the current interwebs age that is how a lot of us like our information presented to us. So it encourages people to read.

It’s not that we are all morons who can’t read a block of text, it’s just that a block of text looks like more hard work to read… and we are all lazy. So although overuse of the enter key may make your text look bigger, it also makes it look easier to read.

So use the enter key for your paragraphs all you like.

This was a post about nothing.

That you read.

Never trust me again.
