why the **** do computers still have tildes? i think we can probably manage without them. backticks, too, just replace that whole key with something useful. like a porn bumon. i don’t know. but it seems the only use is a) as a short cut for the home directory on UNIX systems, b) an anachronistic apache convention where domain.com/~username is username’s individual website or c) used to flower **** up with ****ing wiggly lines that aren’t there. no-one loves you, tilde. you’re not even a real punctuation mark. just go the **** back to wherever you ****ing came from you piece of ****.
