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.

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.

"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.

No worries!

Don't forget local "no camping" laws meant to keep homeless people from sleeping in their cars on public property/public parking.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

thanks to @[email protected] for helping to finish it, and anyone else who helped.

Neighbors:

@[email protected] with a green M to the left

@[email protected] made a junimo above

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?
