  • Last year I was bothered by the randomness of fonts even in single words and sentences, and started that font guide thing. Immediately afterwards I tried to plan a nicer looking frame for it that can fit more, and have it for this event if anyone wants that or cares.

    I also want to get anyone's opinions on changing letters to be better if you have ideas, because I'm sure I'm not the best at this but I want it to be appealing enough to use.

    The main 2 things I tried to focus on is readability, and making sure each symbol can fit in 5x3 pixels.

  • Once* in a lifetime!
  • I'm sorry you have to work during the eclipse. I understand that it's moot whether or not you would enjoy it when it isn't something that you have time for anyways, and that would make me frustrated by everyone talking about it too.

    I don't really believe you that don't care about any of that tho lol. Maybe not as much as your responsibilities, but no way you don't care at all.

  • Once* in a lifetime!
  • "it's just the moon" is honestly a wild opinion to me.

    It's just the massive orb that circles our world through all of known history, which bends the oceans and tectonic crusts with it's movement, that inspired incredible amounts of art and culture, and is about to create a phenomenon which blots out the sun, in an incredible coincidence of size, position and timing, as the latest iteration of a pattern that may well have been the original inspiration for ways of thinking that went on to become the foundation for all of scientific thought. Nbd.

  • Property and liability are important!
  • Don't forget local "no camping" laws meant to keep homeless people from sleeping in their cars on public property/public parking.

  • Golden rule
  • It never reffered to a gate, that didn't exist at the same time. But camels do supposedly fit through said gate, if they get on their knees.

    Of course all bullshit to help rich people feel like being wealthy wasn't a sin if they were "humble" about it.

  • New Discord TOS binds you to forced arbitration - Opt-Out Now
  • Ah ok I misunderstood your comment.

    I had just read the thing and had that it only applied to US fresh in my head. Then I read your comment and assumed "here" referred to US also. My bad.

  • New Discord TOS binds you to forced arbitration - Opt-Out Now
  • Do you have anything to prove that? I'm serious, This feels like it shouldn't be binding but I can find no legal reasons or information that it wouldn't be, and I would really like to find that.

    Seems ludicrous that a company can be like "OK STARTING IN 30 DAYS NO SUING US ALLOWED. IF YOU DON'T SPECIFICALLY TELL US WITHIN THOSE 30 DAYS THAT YOU MIGHT SOMEDAY NEED TO SUE US THEN YOU NEVER CAN FOREVER." But then a lot of stuff here is ludicrous.

  • Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, at this part of the country, localized entirely within maybe as far south as Alabama to northern California?
  • Oh absolutely.

    You just seemed like you were trying to provide info, so I added the last bit to... Add more info.

  • Hey so the cosmic ray thing was a really popular meme but the glitch was probably just a crooked cartidge. It's funny to imagine a cosmic ray doing this but the odds are so low as to be functionally impossible, and this kind of glitch can happen with dirty or loose connections.

    Someone else already linked this video so here is a link to their comment

  • How rich people get rich
  • "than I thought you were"? I'm not the person you were talking to before.

    What is your actual point? Why do you think it is important for you to argue that "actually gambling isn't pure luck"? And what, in your estimation, is "pure luck"?

    The way I see it people are talking about specific phenomenon, and how they have entirely luck based outcomes (ex like the lottery), and you are trying to increase the scope of the context of the discussion to, in this example, include people who do not participate in the lottery, to try and argue that phenomenon does not have entirely luck based outcomes. But you haven't proven your point, you've been socially obtuse and attempted to derail the conversation from where it was because you have a bizarre point you want to make.

  • How rich people get rich
  • This is a silly distinction you are trying to make and it serves no purpose. And I don't even agree it is a real distinction... The act of deciding to gamble doesn't in any way mean the payoff or losses are anything but luck.

  • degree in bamf
  • It is intentionally, intellectually dishonest and obtuse to pretend that condemnation of systemic problems resulting from unfair biases for/from certain demographics is as bad as the systemic problems in question.

  • aral sea
  • Ew you got some politicalcompassmemes on your post.

    Otherwise good tho

  • Reddit's new paid ads look exactly like user posts
  • Solution is simple, community should turn any suspiciously product focused thread into an advertisers nightmare of filth

    Then the ads will just be the ones with the comment sections turned off

  • An app called Bless Every Home, which has been backed by some of the biggest names in evangelical circles, is mapping the names and addresses of immigrants and non-Christians.
  • You and people who hold beliefs like yours should just pick a new name for yourselves, I've tried to convince family members of this for years. Let the jerks have the name they tainted, pick a better name for your beliefs, and get out of the way for people to condemn the institution of Christianity for it's actions.

    You shouldn't feel responsible for them. You should just let them suffer the consequences of their actions and get outta the way.

  • rule problem
  • Well if there is no practical point in our communicating, with our senses of morality being so alien to each other, could you at least avoid doing it anyways for the sake of being so insulting to me?

    I don't need that condescension, thanks, I'm all topped up.

  • Girls Basketball Team Kicked Out Of Boys League Championship After Defeating Boys Teams
  • Even if you are technically right, you are morally wrong. They should be allowed to register in that league, and if they weren't then the coach lying about their gender was the correct and moral thing to do.

    Crazy to watch people twist themselves in knots bending over backwards to try and excuse sexism.

    But I don't even think you are technically right. All those quotes stink like excuses and BS.

  • rule problem
  • Not to be rude but this is an oversimplified and incorrect view of voting and is the exact kind of mindset I am against.

    If you try to insist non-voting is somehow support for a specific candidate, what does that say about people who can't vote for personal/health reasons? If someone working poverty wages, unable to get the day off to vote, can't get their vote counted, are they somehow a bad person?

    Additionally, although less significant, I can't consider it morally wrong, ever, to vote third party. Strategically wrong, sure, it often is, but the point of a vote is to choose, and I can't blame someone for using their right to choose to be an idealist rather than a strategist. And honestly, in an election like this with so much frustration towards the major parties, 3rd party has a better chance of winning than usual... although I'm sure that is a stressful and unpleasant thing to hear if you dislike third parties.

  • 5x3 font is done!

    People seem to have trouble agreeing on what font to use when writing small block letters together

    I've been doing this. Now everyone will know the superior small block letter font in which every letter fits into 5 by 3 pixels. I challenge you to show me a better small block letter font in which every letter fits into 5 by 3 pixels!

    also I'm still trying to make it look nicer but it was taking a while so I figured I should explain why I made this

    shoutout to [email protected] I like your green M

    update: not done yet, but I wanted to ask people's opinions on the J. any consensus on which is better?

    !
