Why do people keep adding this to their comments? Are they checking notes? Why do they feel the need to point it out if they are? Why are they saying they are if they aren’t? It’s like me adding “scratching head” to my comment, which I just did, but I have no idea why that adds anything to the conversation.

    For dramatization, when some event is so stupidly, unexpectedly bizarre that you have to check your figurative notes to make sure you’re not just remembering a fever dream. Example:

    America is rolling back renewable energy development to promote the use of beautiful, clean… (checks notes…) coal, of all fucking things.
