sounds phallic. i'm in

Time check - 3:30 am. Whole thing should be done by 4:10, comfortably before the early commuters. Drunk drivers or cops are always a possibility but you have to put it out of your mind, you can’t afford the mental space to be concerned. Everyone else on the road will keep their distance.

All windows down, sound is everything for following the early lines up onto 280. On the bridge sprint I’d roll them up to keep the wind from drowning out my click.

An hour ago, I timed a couple 45 mph brake cycles. I check before every run. If the brake pads have worn down it’ll throw off your whole timing, and then you’re left deciding whether to give up or try to account for the error in your head. Timing loss was the leading cause of runner deaths.

cats_the_movie set a 35:32 a week ago and now I’m #2. I haven’t been #2 since the run gained popularity a couple years back. I’m not gonna be the old defeated master in a fucking summoning salt video.

so much cheap generic medication. reverse engineering compounds would be even more financially profitable.

fewer people dead of vaccine preventable illnesses in the global south bc the greatest barrier to distributing some vaccines like hpv is their ip

plant seeds and grafts that come from the plants instead of licensing them. don't invest so much in preventing cross contamination. more localised experimental breeding.

library of the world: every book and journal article in the world could be digitised and be searchable for every person in the world to read regardless of where they live. cheap reprint runs and local translations everywhere.

an online interface where every citation could actually lead to the text in question

freedom from the hell that is DRM software

everytime someone reverse engineered your shitty proprietary software we would all be freed from it instead of them getting DMCA'd

so much hardware would be opened up & therefore made so much cooler.

so many more songs that riff off and sample and interpolate shit from this decade instead of like 70 years ago and more analysis of music that didn't keep getting nuked off the internet

preserving movies and tv shows and games as long as someone, somewhere has the desire to host them

just go publish your fanfic/art/vid as is instead of all us pretending it isn't fanwork or begging the corporation for mercy / licensing

do thёy just not notice ?

when it happens in an aesthetic studyblr post, who cares, we're just having fun here. but professional companies in the real world will do this in their marketing materials too, which is like ?!!!!! did you pay a designer to do that ?!??

the easiest would be to choose a different typeface. but you don't even need to. if you're editing the poster in something like photoshop or gimp etc. you can type the word in the Official Brand Font™ without diacritics so that the base letter fits in correctly. then on a separate layer, type the diacritic in whatever typeface supports it, and position it over the intended letter. et voil𝑎̀.

shout out to this company below, that didn't even bother to use the correct diacritic ! and because it's in completely the wrong font, their error stands out even more

that surname in the screenshot above should read "Françoise" with a cedilla under the C, not "Franćoise" with an acute accent over it.
