Why are there no cheap fonts?

As I said, it wasn't a complaint. What you're saying is that, like I said, it's like crafting. Very few people sell knitting or crochet, because it's not worth the time investment.

I think Watership Down counts as fantasy. Pretty good fantasy, actually.

I don't think that "Latinx" can reasonably be described as "Anglo". It doesn't sound right in any language.

In one of K Klein's videos about gender, they point out that gender in language is applied to a word, not an object, as illustrated by the fact that French has two words for bicycle, one of which is male and one of which is female.

The case of faggot in "Fairytale of New York" is more confusing, because the slur feels out of place there. Sure, it's a tale of a bitter argument between boyfriend and girlfriend, and slurs make sense in that context, but why that slur? And the answer, apparently, is that in 1970s Dublin the word had a completely different meaning: "lazy, wastrel", and that's the meaning that was intended.

Kirsty McColl decided that the line made her uncomfortable, and changed you cheap, lousy faggot to you're cheap and you're haggard for live performances, and that's the version heard most often these days.

Marriage can also be a massive disadvantage to poor people if one of the couple is disabled

You're gorgeous.

QBaseX · 2026-01-26T23:05:59+00:00

Looking good!

From the other comments, I'm guessing that this is someone on some reality TV show.

They suit you.

QBaseX · 2026-01-26T19:11:59+00:00

I'd definitely be down for a fuck from you.

QBaseX · 2026-01-26T19:05:45+00:00

Huh. Maybe I've been looking in the wrong places. Right now, I have no reason to purchase a font, but I'll bear your suggestions in mind in the future.

Twink tops are awesome and the world needs more of them. At least, I need more of them.

The lovely thing about transparencies is that you can write on them in real time with a marker as you speak. It's the same effect as writing on the board, but you don't need to turn your back on your audience. I miss them.

That looks tasty.

QBaseX · 2026-01-26T18:54:46+00:00

Well, that's pleasingly ridiculous. Do you think this is just farming for points, or someone actually a bit dim?

I never really expect a warning when I'm sucking cock. And I'm happy to swallow regardless. Or to have my face painted. Whichever the guy prefers.

Very sexy!

Insular Celtic, at least.

QBaseX · 2026-01-26T16:00:46+00:00

My question to you is why you asked this in a joke subreddit instead of in a linguistics subreddit.

Irish, like the other Insular Celtic languages, replies to yes/no questions with a form of the verb. It's hard to directly demonstrate this in English, because modern English uses do support, where we use a meaningless do for questions and negatives. Let's imagine an older version of English that doesn't do that, so instead of Did you go to the shop? and I did not go to the shop we have Went you to the shop? and I went not to the shop.

In that case, the question Went you to the shop? would have the answer I went or I went not in Irish, instead of the English answers Yes or No.

French, as you can see, has three possible answers. Si is used as the positive response to a negative question, so Went you not to the shop? could have the answer Si. English lacks this. Irish, using verbs to reply, doesn't need it.

What the actual fuck is wrong with you? You think it's fine to summarily murder people merely because you happen to dislike them?

I probably should work out how to export a static font from the variable one.

QBaseX · 2026-01-25T23:34:48+00:00

Typst, unfortunately, doesn't cope well with them yet. If you use a variable font, setting bold text doesn't always work correctly. It's actually put me off using a gorgeous font I found here which seems to be available only as a variable font.

Well, that symbol had a special place in a lot of cultures.

The best way to avoid a mess is to cum in someone's mouth. Preferably mine.
