I'm all about that third character, just like GBAtemp ... don't give me no 1 or 2 characters, eff that to death. We live and die by three characters, most definitely if we are talking about website or forum usernames; I cannot bear to contemplate a world with usernames of one or two characters but i imagine that in those versions of the multiverse there is persistent chaos, and agonized cries; —a hellscape where the blood running in the streets is equally endemic to the asphalt or gravel substrate it permeates.
Man, don't get me started on the <3s, ... I don't even want to hear about the ≤3s, but I abhor the <3 so much that I dedicate 3 minutes to trolling the individual responsible for every posted instance of a 'character only' heart that I come across on the internet (but also to include SMS and SMS, because I'm a stickler.)
If there are 9 "<3s" interspersed among the "likes", "fershers", and "totes" in a post, comment, or content contribution that I am innocently exposed to during the course of my civilian internetting, there is elicited, 27 minutes of unbridled savagery, characterized by my sharp, ego penetrating quips, and relevatory statements about the target's mother and her debaucherous behavior theretofore [special instances may detail intimate knowledge I possess and/or a recounting of romantic sojourns.]
My less-than-three wrath has been assessed to me, by multiple independent third parties as, "... devastating ruin by word, unleashed with pythonic indefatigability. —an aside, I cannot understand how you sleep at night."
That's right; —yep, they all used the same words, even inflection; I cannot say specifically how many, but I know it was more than two and definitely not less than three.
{disclaimer- just prior to this post I disabled autocorrect and dropped long-press delay down to 100 ms,.. which apparently is way too damn low, so please disregard any expected errors and simply enjoy who I am, that is, if you are amenable to as much. Toodles.}
