I feel like a semicolon or colon would be better here than parentheses

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I find that semicolon connotes "Concept B follows from, but is distinct from, Concept A", while parens connote "Concept B follows from, and is intertwined with, Concept A".

Because all thoughts are intertwined.

I find parenthesis are best when concept B is worth noting, but tangential to concept A, especially when the next few points are going to be back on the same track that A was on.

A pair of em dashes—which, admittedly, are a lot harder to use on a PC—serve the same function. I've seen some people in this thread say you'll get called an LLM for using them now, but I've never experienced that.

Why not all of the above?
