The billionaire who wants to live forever just admitted he has long covid. Specifically, covid wrecked his lungs. If you haven’t come across him, Bryan Johnson is a 46-year-old tech bro who cashed out a few years ago and now spends all his time trying not to die.
Has anyone else told you that the nested parentheses make your writing hard to read? Not a sarcastic or rhetorical question, I genuinely don’t know if I’m the only one who has a hard time with them, especially when you don’t close them lol
It’s short a few commas and at least 1 open parenthese was never closed, which doesn’t help readability, but what I miss most, is paragraph breaks. Had your comment not piqued my curiosity, then I wouldn’t even have begun reading that super long paragraph.
I am also a terminal parentheticalist - it’s something you frequently get with NDs fwiw (Not that I know whether the other commenter is (but I most certainly am (and thus thought of as mention as to where it often happens)))
(Okay that’s a mildly unnecessary example but demonstrates what I meant either way)
I definitely get the impulse! When there are a lot of them though, I feel like I spend as much time trying to understand the structure of the paragraph as I do reading it.

it’s something I actually quite enjoy about their writing style, though I also frequently choose to write Lisp

“impulse” strikes me as an odd word choice - this is literally how I (and as I observed, other NDs too) communicate
that said, I’m stopping here
