  • 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.

    It happens to be an instance federated with several idealogy-heavy instances, while itself being a general use instance with simple account creation procedures.

    It makes it a popular choice for people who want to make multiple accounts for trolling, as well as people who have unpopular (as far as lemmy goes) ideologies. You can hopefully understand the kind of friction that could create and the reputation is the outcome.

    You probably could have figured this out yourself if you just… Looked around. You shouldn’t expect people who are in disagreement with you to explain everything.

    If this is your main argument then:

    …it’s obvious that any human being tends to prefer people who they consider similar to themselves.

    Doesn’t your paper you linked imply it isn’t so obvious? I still stand by that it’s not really relevant so I’ll just say that I fully disagree with your argument or the implication that you have somehow proven anything.

    I’ll repeat something I said in another comment:

    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.

    You just pretend you are unaware of massive swaths of history in order to act offended that anyone would make generic statements about an infamously problematic demographic. And you falsely equate any attempt to talk generically about the problematic behaviour to the same issue, as a transparent tactic to suppress discussion of the problematic behaviour entirely.

    I’m sure you will have some bullshit response that will annoy me again but I’m gunna try to let it go because I find talking to you unpleasant.

    Your barely-in-context paper is not support for your main argument :

    However, this arguably applies less to white men than any other demographic, because such behavior is so consistently condemned and shamed when exhibited by white men.

    Do you have any citations that actually support your claim? Because it sounds like vibes “please don’t say mean things about my group” bullshit.

    Salad theory is rigid and respectable.

    Cube rule of food identification exists to be disproven aggressively for comedy and arguing. It’s a good time, until the person that believes it so truly they would kill and die to call a cheese roll up sushi arrives. They can make the conversation stressful.
