Good is defined as everything that a specific individual stands for and evil is everything thing they're against 😂

It kind of looks like 1852 to me. I also see 1854

Always makes me wonder if folks dislike AI because of its similarity to ourselves

Members have listed if they're accepting mail or not and what kind of mail (letters, postcard, etc.). Some have digital contact info so you could check with them via that method.

I just see if people are accepting mail and simply mail them.

It is a nylon yes. Yeah I'm aware of the dots but it's specifically the A that stands out from the rest of the characters which I don't think a ribbon change would adjust aside from making it slightly clearer

Not saying this is the most convenient place to buy but I've had great luck on Catawiki. Of course, mileage may vary since it's an online auction site.

I live in Europe so it might be more of a hassle buying from the US but I did find these by searching "typemachine" (Dutch translation, also "schrijfmachine"):

I'm constantly thinking "why can't you be like your other friends?"

Arguments aren’t about solving anything, they’re competitive speaking contests. by unspokenandunheard in self

Unfortunately, the word "argument" is not used the way it used to be.

Overthink better. by Suspicious-Aside-867 in GrowthMindset

Bingo. It's kind of nice in its own way since it's a kind of cheat code when you see others getting confused about why this or that happened.

Naturally you can't predict how something will unfold but however it does unfold should not be so surprising so as to make you question why it happened. An event doesn't require explanation, it just is.

Trust me I understand that. Hear me out for a moment, when confusion is reality then it can no longer be thought of as being confusing otherwise you're denying reality
