Don’t let my white duds and pleasant demeanor fool ya! I, too, have been known to violate the statutes of man, and not a few of the Almighty!

Does she likes tartar?

You give RMS too much credit when you paraphrase Sagan and attribute it to RMS. They’re not nearly on the same level.

And not prepared plant products, but raw, with dirt and bugs on it.

Vegetables. It’s vegetables from someone’s garden.

Prador second children!

I’m thinking I could fight one robot vacuum cleaner, but our boi here just keeps adding more, and I’m already skeptical about taking on three. And this will probably happen after GAI, so they’ll be hyper-intelligent.

OP may one day find themselves scootching around the house on their limb stubs, licking the floors clean all day, and being called some demeaning name like “Meat Maid.”

You are so screwed when the Robot uprising comes

I’m not the person you replied to, but:

If they’re on my property - which they are of their dog is taking a shit on my lawn - they’re not “in public.”

I think the font heavily reuses glyphs. 0 probably literally is the same glyph as O. I’m positive 9 is just a rotated 6 (I guess that’s pretty common, although it’s really obvious in Poiret).

I really love the numbers, though.

I’ve discovered that it’s a horrible screen font, though: far too spindly to be easily readable. I still use it, but I have to make it larger than usual and bold, and it’s still a little hard to make out sometimes.

Oh, what we sacrifice for aesthetics.

And Jeeves & Wooster, and Poirot.

Poirot is obviously the inspiration here, in style and name.

What’re you looking at?? His gut?? He’s working on it!

I’d say Art Deco, Art Nouveau’s successor, but obviously there aren’t fine lines between them.

When I think Art Nouveau, I think wavy, curvy script; everything was just a little psychedelic in Art Nouveau.

1920’s, in any case.

The most beautiful font ever. Although, this Metropolis is pretty nice, too.

Pollution makes their species stronger; this doesn’t imply an individual preference.

Idiots walking off cliffs doesn’t make the survivors like cliffs; it teaches them to avoid them.

That said, evolution can be a real crap shoot, and you never know what sort of perverse effects you’ll get: like us loving sugar so much we eat ourselves into diabetes.

This is a stupid post because it assumes the readers don’t. Which I’ll bet they do, more often than not.

Factorio.

The factory must grow.

AKA “pistolizing”

It’s true that everyone is different. I’ve known people across the spectrum, who’d pick English names they liked the sound of (“Pearl”) and would refuse to tell me their given name; people who had long ago adopted nicknames to make it easier for foreigners (“JC”, “Raj”); folks who obviously didn’t give a shit (“eh, course enough”); but also the occasional person who’d go back and fourth with me on the pronunciation until we mutually realized it wasn’t going to happen.

I have always tried to pronounce names correctly, and I have a decent ear. However, with some languages, I apparently can’t hear some distinctions; there have been times when I was certain I was mimicking the sounds correctly, but the person repeatedly corrected me. It’s not (necessarily) that I can’t make the sounds, it’s that I can’t hear the difference between what’s right and what I’m saying. Chinese is one of those; I can’t get the romanized X and Z right.
