I wanna say that acts like those should be rewarded by people remembering you, but if that happens then you'll just end up in a clarence dollars situation where mfs be doing nice things to you because "Oh you'll write about me on your site". But this is an exception I think im fine to make since he didn't do what he did expecting a reward, not expecting that someone would be writing about him or anything like that.

^ I like that you're aware of that in the first place; that he expected nothing in return — Just finished reading, I don't know how your experience of learning English has been but you're an extremely good writer, not only from being from another country where English ain't your native language, but also because of how young you are

I'm not sure of most people in the world even know of people's own personal websites, but writing about someone you met with as much honesty as that is one of the best things you can ever do........ and there's so many reasons for that; but the most important reason is that you care Since you plan to regularly ride the bus — I could be wrong, but I think you'll meet this person again

.........Shoot, I was going to tell you how I write these — longer-looking dash things; they call those the "em dash" compared to your well known: - "en dash" But you're on Linux and I'd have to figure out a program that's got the same sort of concept...... I use this program called "AutoHotKey" on Windows where I could just hold down ALT + - (the regular en dash) and it'll spit out an em dash

Not sure if you're having the copy 'n paste the symbol from a website or character map manually...... I don't want you to have to go through that :( Will write about the script on my site's page here if you find a program that's similar and if the concept for an alternate program you find is similar, I'd for sure put it on it's own page but I'm still figuring my 'site out

I'm not meaning to say this as if I'm just trying to make you feel good: you're doing really good with your life, that's all I can think of to say right now

you're trying to make me... *feel good*? https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=HyHNuVaZJ-k

ok nah but seriously I appreciate the comments. I do think that if I ride the right bus (they all have an identifier) then I could meet him again.

And yeah I did do the copy n paste when getting the "em dash" (in Brasil they call it a travessão). But after researching a bit, the compose key seems like the solution. It's basically a key that you can bind to a key in your keyboard that lets you write several extra characters that don't usually exist on your keyboard (for example, holding down compose and pressing the - three times leads to a —). I think KDE-

- has a thing for making custom keyboard shortcuts that place characters like those. Although I use xfce (the winxp theme is too good not to use) and most you get is a thing that lets you bind keyboard shortcuts to commands or programs. Still good though and is mad useful if things dont work in your keyboard (like the volume +- keys, and pause keys on my kb)

@lemerks HEYYYYYYYY — maybe I am being too polite That's great that you're figuring out something on your end though. I'm thinking of moving to XFCE because of themes and that it just might have more customizability but I'm not sure if I have to set up my distro all over again since I'm on Mint. I don't mind it *too much*, but I don't like how Mint looks by default; too clean and modern..... BLEH
