Consuela, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's awful, Consuela. I'm so sorry.
Hec, that is horrifying! Jesus.
job~ma to Sparky and Jesse.
Thanks, but it's Jess with the brouhaha.
Sometimes disability-rights people call ABs verticals...imagine my confusion.
That just makes me laugh.

Consuela, I'm so sorry. That's terrible. And she was so young!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Consuela, I'm sorry. That's so sad.

Suela, my condolences.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Consuela, I'm so sorry.
Eep, Hec! How scary!
Late to the party, but here's my job description using that site:
I watch what people say on the computer and get them help if they need it.
I can't believe online and Internet aren't in the most used words!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, Consuela that's so sad.
Jesus, Hec. That's awful.
It is! Over fucking sneakers. Their school district (a really good one, incidentally) has had to deal with this incident, a middle school teacher committing suicide after being charged with having sex with a student, and another girl in the HS who drowned. All in this same school year.

So, do people only write in verticals? Is immigration my law vertical?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Between Hec's news and Suela's, I just want to hug everybody.
A "vertical" is an area of expertise. In content creation, it's used to refer to the various subject areas in which one is creating content. (So if you have a newspaper website, Food, Travel, and Cars would all be verticals.)
I think it somehow derives from "vertical integration" but personally I think it's thrown around mostly by people who just heard the word somewhere and want to sound business-y.
