    Reading fucking Dostoevsky and there are almost as many subordinate clauses per sentence as there are nicknames for the characters.

      I hate long sentences; they make me angry… were I to purge one group of people in my socialist utopia, it would be those pretentious, self-appointed guardians of whatever outdated “style book” first instilled into the eager mind of an innocent child the notion that communicating in emojis (noble word! ) was unacceptable, and who like the Old Testament serpent feed to their sycophantic followers the old lie – what lie, you ask; well, the lie that if you but speak intelligently, you will be as gods, that if you eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Case Endings and Suburdinate Clauses, you shall know both good and evil, and your writing will be immortal; that if you stop using verbalizations like “lmao” and “skibidi” and “many such cases,” people will respect you and love you and worship you all your days, for you now see things sub specie aeternitatis (more like sub specie LOL); and that generally, you have performed a sort of discipline for the mind analagous to cleansing the body in a shower-bath, which latter is obviously a bourgeoise and counter-revolutionary act. I hate tankies so fucking much.
