    <h2>Welcome!</h2>

    <p class="text">
        I'm probably Matthias. No promises though.
        These are my thoughts. Pure, mostly unfiltered, thoughts.
        I do filter anything intrusive thoughts that would be offensive or NSFW.
        Generally, with the exception of censored profanity and complex ideas, this site should be safe for your child to read.
        Or at least as safe as it is for you to read.
    </p>

    <p class="text">
        This is a micro-blog, a little like Twitter, a little like <a href="https://micro.blog">Micro.blog</a>,
        a little better than either, at least in my opinion. This website is my own creation. It follows my own rules.
    </p>

    <p class="text">
        This is a breeding ground for ideas. I do guarantee that all of the thoughts here are genuine&mdash;that is,
        I actually had them.
        However, I make no guarantees regarding their quality.
        Many of the thoughts here were had, posted, and then immediately discarded as clearly worthless.
        This is not disclaimed, I trust that you too can discern which of these thoughts are core values of my life
        and which are the merest passing fancy.

    <p class="text">
        This is a website.

    <p class="text">
        This is a blog. In much the sense that <a href="https://tumblr.com">Tumblr</a> is a blogging platform,
        so too is this website.

    <p class="text">
        This is WhisperMaPhone. It's a tool I created to share my thoughts. It is currently closed source,
        as it is still in active development. However, if you're interested in setting up a page similar to this,
        let me know.
    </p>

    <p class="text">
        This is the void. There's no way for you to contact me on here.
        There are no guarantees when you're shouting into the void. But the void doesn't normally shout back.
        No one ever said the void wasn't listening. You're listening. This is my void.
    </p>

    <p class="text">
        It has recently come to my attention that there is some confusion regarding the purpose of this website,
        or even, what it is. This page should answer both of those questions.
    </p>

    <p class="text">
        This is a surrender and a revel. This is an experiment.
        This is a rejection of social media and an embrace of it.

        All thoughts are provided with a timestamp in the timezone of the poster, to ensure proper contextualization.
        Contextualization is of utmost importance.

        This is an explanation. This page answers any questions you may have about this website.

    <p class="text">
        Welcome to my website! This is a micro-blogging platform for me to share my thoughts.
        This website breaks normal blogging and micro-blogging paradigms. I have 140 character limit on the first line,
        for real quick thoughts, and then a Show More button, and then unlimited characters in a second field.
        I'll sometimes use hundreds of characters, writing mini-essays on topics that catch my interest.
        This would be very impractical to do on Twitter. Although this websites solves another gripe with Twitter,
        the concept of "liking" Tweets. I don't ask for your feedback here. This frees me to post what I'm inspired to,
        and allows you to experience what I post without worrying about if you should "like" it.
    </p>

    <p class="text">
        This is how I learned to stop worrying. This is a flea in which our two bloods mingled be.

        All thoughts posted here are those of my employer.

        This is the end and a new beginning. I've stopped using Discord, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media
        since creating this website.

        This is not a test. This is considered harmful. This is mostly harmless.

        This is a revolution of the proletariat. We will not sit quietly.<br>
        This is sitting loudly. This website is inaction. It exists only to let me complain.

        I find it helps to imagine all of my posts here as the murmurings of someone talking in their sleep.
    </p>

    <p class="text">
        This is the end. Good night.
