You can replace “but” or “and” with the semicolon.
I could’ve used “but” here; I chose the semicolon instead.
Silly. It’s easy.

Identify two adjacent sentences. Replace the period with a semicolon.
Identify two adjacent sentences; replace the period with a semicolon.
That’s all it takes; there is more to them, but that’s a valid use of the semicolon.
I’ve used a semicolon; I’ve done it many times with confidence.
As a programmer I use it confidently a lot, just not outside of coding.
As someone who pretends to be a cider, same, except always in the context of “huh, red squilly underline here, time to find where I missed the fucking semicolon”
So we talking an Apple cider?

I am a software developer;
I do not understand;
Just code in Python and cry.
I would definitely cry if I had to code in Python
Have you seen JavaScript? It’s python but worse (but slightly more standard syntax (that is often optional))
I’m a full stack .NET dev, half my job is in JavaScript(/typescript).
I do enough crying coding in JavaScript.
console.log("Why not?");assuming this is the most recent version of javascript, semicolons are optional now (and have been for more than a decade)
Syntatically optional, but morally mandatory
type it without semicolons and let prettier do it’s job
I never use semicolons; but when I do
So you never coded JavaScript ;)
Semi-colons are optional in JS (;
I have;
I like this alot.
I mean, who wouldn’t. It’s so cute and cuddly.
i think op forgot about proper separation, it should have been a;lot
Thank;s im never sure when to use them.
I have watched this video; I’m still going to use semicolons with great uncertainty.
Semicolons are awesome; They’re easy to use when you know how.
Capitalization however
capitalization is not something i care for
sentence-final prepositions, however
you are not something for which i care
I Love Capitalization.
Don’t say that on Lemmy, you’ll bring the tankies.
Would the sentence still make sense if it were a period? Then you used it right.
