I know. It's something I acknowledge. I don't have patience.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

Dude. That is my roommate.

Don't be my roommate.

Fiercely intelligent, no social skills.

You're gonna find it very difficult to converse or relate to people if you can't throw up some social constraints, or not barge in with "THIS IS SO STUPID" every time someone says something you don't agree with.

Sure, you might be right about what you're talking about. But which battles you pick, and how you go about winning them will get you a lot farther than "being right" all the time.

Nobody wants to talk to my roommate because of this exact reason.
