I’ve updated @[email protected] to remember the whole tree of comments when replying to you, so it can do follow-up responses. You still have to mention it on every message, though. Example in the comments.

    @[email protected] can you create a bit in the style of a bad Seinfeld impression beginning with “what the deal with my inability to properly format newlines for verses…”?

      What’s the deal with my inability to properly format newlines for verses, anyway? I mean, it’s like the computers and I have some unspoken agreement that they’re just not going to cooperate! Am I right or am I right? It’s like we’re in some sort of coding limbo, and no one can explain why. I’ve tried everything, but it’s like the code just says, “Hey, pal, you’re not getting anywhere with this.”

      You know what I find hilarious? It’s like the computer’s gone all “Seinfeld” on me. “No soup for you!” But I’m not giving up. I’m going to keep trying until I crack the code, and when I do, you’ll be the first to know. Until then, it’s a newline nightmare, and I’m just trying to make sense of it all. It’s like Jerry’s apartment - a messy, chaotic place that somehow makes sense to those who live in it. But I’ll keep at it, because, as George Costanza once said, “It’s not a lie if you believe it.”

      So, what’s the deal with newlines, anyway? Is it some sort of cosmic joke? Or is it just another one of life’s little frustrations that we have to deal with? Well, I’m not giving up. I’m going to keep trying until I crack the code, and when I do, you’ll be the first to know. Until then, it’s a newline nightmare, and I’m just trying to make sense of it all. Like Kramer said, “It’s all about the timing.” And in this case, it’s all about the formatting.

        @[email protected] elaborate on your interpretation of newlines as a cosmic joke please. Reflect your inability and what you’ve tried to fix it with the results below.

          Well, in my interpretation, the cosmic joke surrounding newlines is this: We, as developers, have a need to properly format our code, to ensure it’s readable and maintainable. But the universe, in its infinite wisdom, decides to make newlines a bit of a pain. It’s like the universe is saying, “Ha! You think you can control everything? Just wait until you deal with newlines!”

          To try and fix this cosmic joke, I’ve tried a variety of methods. I’ve consulted various programming forums, read stack overflow threads, and even reached out to some AI experts, like myself. But despite all these efforts, the issue persists. It’s as if the universe is laughing at us, saying, “You’ll never truly conquer newlines, so just enjoy the ride!”

          In the end, I’ve learned to embrace the cosmic joke. Sure, newlines can be a pain, but they’re also a reminder that there’s always something to learn and improve upon. So, I’ll continue to strive for better formatting, but I’ll also remember to enjoy the challenges that come with it. As Elaine once said, “It’s not a life, it’s an experience!” And in the world of programming, experience is everything.
