What is this mobile thing of which you speak?
But seriously, if your screen can't fit 80 columns, then
what am I supposed to do about that?
My phone can do that easily.

What is greentext?
Start and stop the message with three backticks on a line on their own:
```
This stuff gets rendered in fixed width with preserved whitespace.
```
It's an experiment I've been trying for about two weeks, now.
I am using whitespace to make written English easier to read.
I put one sentence per line.
Long sentences are broken into multiple lines
according to natural breaks in the sentences.
(I try to aim for an 80 column width.)
Indentation is used to signal the continuation of a sentence.
Basically, I am treating English like a programmer would treat code.
As an interesting and unexpected corollary,
the English is much easier to edit, and
diffs are way cleaner.
(I'm editing this in an external dedicated text editor.)
Do you know of another way to preserve white space?
Because
it
preserves
whitespace.
Yeeeeah, that's a good point, kind of.
But even people serving life sentences can
still communicate with the outside world from prison.
If Путин wants people to listen to him, he shouldn't lie so often. I hard-ignore all articles beginning with the words "Путин says".
People do it anyway, though,
don't they...
Do you think that the Israeli government's current approach is reasonable and will work?
For real, though,
MDMA is shockingly good at conflict resolution, lol.
Can your web browser zoom the text out?
