Writing posts can be a lengthy activity. Try to keep things concise and succinct (use accurate words, try not to repeat ideas you've already said, just because you use more words to describe a concept that doesn't mean it's deeper or more complicated, and such things to keep in mind) but otherwise commit to simplifying ideas or even leaving things out in order to not lose the focus and interest of your reader. If you can keep things looking short and sweet at the start (basically letting the reader know that your ramblings or rather lack of such will be a quick one) then you also gain the benefit of more people bothering to read it at all. Similarly, a large block of text may make it so that people quickly glance over it, be disturbed by how long of a read it is, and then skip over to better shorter things.
Tl;dr's are nice things to have, especially if you feel you are among the population that finds it difficult to express written ideas concisely. If you know how to wield a tl;dr well, then you can avoid the possible outcome of having others skip over your writing entirely. However, be prepared to face the consequences. I like to use tl;dr's to direct the reader to the gist of my writing but if used poorly, it could lead to a further loss of disinterest.
Said consequences can be quite grave. In some instances, your reader may request a tl;dr but if your reply is inadequate, they may even have to go through the trouble of requesting yet another tl;dr of the original tl;dr. This is quite unfortunate as it is a waste of time for both the original writer and the future readers.
In the end, there is a tradeoff between how you choose to express your ideas and how your ideas may be received (or perhaps just ignored). How much do you value your writing style vs how much you care your writing will have an actual impact in the world, albeit a small one.
How about a tl;dr of the tl;dr?
There is more to it than that. Hurting might be an option right off the bat and you will do better to be able to recognise when that is the case. You can also skip it all and give them your phone and wallet -- assuming you are wandering around with enough to get lunch and a taxi home then a lawyer will charge many times that, as will a day in court in terms of lost wages, and if you are in the US then getting stitched up (fighting is generally noted as unpredictable and dangerous) is also not the cheapest hobby (assuming you will even heal properly to begin with -- modern medicine is wonderful but scars still happen and you might bleed out before you even get there).First step is prevention.
If that doesn't work then run if you can, hurt them if you can't (unless u think ur a bitch then go back to just running)
