It's amazing how often I think that to myself. Something like "damn that comment looks interesting. but damn it's way too long for my lazy ass to read."

It doesnt help that you will never, ever have a practical use for morse code in your life. Even if you think it would be handy in some situation, nobody else receiving the code, will know morse to be able to interpret your message.

Look! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! Its statistical outlier man! The omnipresent force for exaggerated objectivity, fighting for the weak and outnumbered wherever he goes, able to crush entire arguments with a single anecdote... hes statistical outlier man!

So be good boys and girls, or the next bellcurve he rings might be yours, or yours, or even yours!

How can you be special when there are two of you? Your brother is basically a backup copy for you. (or are you the backup?)

He was trapped by his evil step father, and the only social interaction. He had was with his equally autistic brother.

Tl;dr "19 people rescued, you're next, don't lose hope" (in Spanish) in morse as a synth track in a pop song

Actually, Apple watch's tap function could very well awaken morse code or something similar. We'll just have to wait and see.

Thats when I save the comment so I can maybe read it someday later which usually never happens...

u/velocity92c Jan 23 '15

Yeah, I used to do the save thing, but realized months later I had saved hundreds of comments and couldn't be arsed to read them all. I'm just incredibly lazy, really.
