When an alphabet has such unrelated glyphs it can taste completely different depending on the word. “Fudge” is casual and contemporary. “Marshmallow” is rigid and classical. This is not a typeface. It’s a tossed salad.

I'm reading random stuff here because I'm bored and I want to go home instead of writing code, and I came across an article that claims diet soda is as bad for you as regular soda.
However:
The article depends heavily on a single study's result, which you're not supposed to do
The article was issued by Rodale, which is a "natural health" publisher and has been known to give time to quacks (some of whom think sugar is poison and artificial sweeteners are somehow even worse)
The article has been mentioned absolutely nowhere else but nbcnews.com and MSN.
So while the data in the study may be interesting, I'm not about to give up my Diet Dr Pepper or my Diet Mountain Dew.
I like how things that the layperson wouldn't ever notice are "obvious" to you.
These things are only things I notice upon close examination and/or after a while
Proxima Nova is commonplace and fairly attractive (a cheaper alternative to Gotham), but upon closer examination I noticed that the whole "optical balancing" thing ended up getting rid of some of the tricks that make a typeface more cohesive (e.g. the uppercase and the lowercase are different thicknesses, but the lowercase is smaller so it looks the same. PN doesn't do this)

Which article is this? I think I read it a couple of years ago...

Yeah, I prefer to just avoid the dumb and terrible people when I can and focus on being a decent person myself. I do not forget that they exist entirely, but I would rather try to lead by example than chastise the kind of louts who cannot and will not change regardless of what I say to them.

Ok, see, things like this are why I'm always confused that you don't seem to think you're smart
Because it's clear to me that you're exceptionally knowledgeable about a field few specialize in
And given that you intend to make a career of it, it's not as if that knowledge is without practical value
There are a lot of hateful, ignorant people on the Internet. But then we knew this.
Well, yes. And thankfully, they're in the minority (as indicated by the fact that Ebina won in the first place)...it's just that that particular association hadn't really clicked in my mind until now.

I desperately need sleep--I'm running on only 6 hours, and I've been awake since a little after midnight--but I must wait for dinner to be ready because otherwise I'm not gonna get any until I wake up
I have definitely noticed that, at least half of the time I'm shitposting, I'm messing with the sounds of words. Their rhythm, their puns, maybe what music they could be set to.
Meaning sometimes matters, but -- such as is the case with puns -- it is secondary. I think of something that sounds amusing, then figure out what it means.

I'm amazed I feel as tired as I do, given that I've often stayed up much longer than this with few unpleasant feelings

Pretty good stuff. Not perfect, but a good summary of the major issues in the medium while sticking to the all-powerful list format. Doesn't give quite enough credit to Zelda, but feminism in Zelda isn't clear cut, as many of you no doubt know.

heh
Remember the fuss people kicked up because Marc Anthony (American but of Puerto Rican descent) sang 'God Bless America'? That same blog covered it.

What happens if you shred an issue of a comic book?
You get comic san-sai.
