Typed slang is performative

I get that slang is a unique part of language and slides easily into a person's spoken vocabulary. However, when someone types in slang - I mean heavily - it takes extra effort and thought. You are fighting auto correct. So it's performative. It's an effort on an individual's part to look edgy and cool, to be part of The Something. But I think it fails miserably, and just makes the individual look stupid and desperate.

This is a post copied from another sub that illustrates this point:

These rappers is chopped cheese in the big 26 niggas is rats, snakes weirdos niggas got rapping bout the wat dey man did nd niggas be getting Peggy hilled in dey keister they talk bout us broke niggas all da time they making me proud to be a broke nigga broke niggas and streamers it's our year lol

I rest my case.

Looking for a Wurlitzer stepper motor

I'm looking for a Wurlitzer 248 stepper motor to power a 5206 wallbox if anyone knows a vendor that might have one. Having a lot of trouble finding one. I'm giving my Dad the wallbox for his Wurlitzer 1600 for Father's Day, so I'm trying to find the motor too. Thanks for any help!

Anyone else have this issue? The buds are connected and work fine on my S26+, but when I try to make any changes to them through settings (now that they were moved from wearable), it says I need an update. The update downloads and says it is installing, but it never finishes. I've tried it several times and let it run for as long as 30 mins. There is a progress bar, but it just pulses back and forth, with no real progress shown.

Am I doing something wrong here?
