    yeah I said for big sizes. 16 is more mid, and not perfect for segoe’s thin lines. i think verdana is still a bit too bulky for 16 but for any kind of vision impairment it should be great. you might want to try trebuchet. another low contrast default ms font but it’s a bit more humanist and pleasing to look at in those sizes.









  • they’re called lowercase numbers and they’re designed to look good in paragraph text. for example if you’re reading this comment, mentioning the year 1997 suddenly puts four full height characters as if I typed one word in all caps, while in lowercase numbers it would look more like if I typed the word iggy (1 is x height while 9 and 7 have descenders like g and y).

    they’re not designed to be used in math or for longer number sequences. for that you have the full height (uppercase) numbers that most typeface should still have.

    0123456789 in lowercase have the same heights as oizgjpbyfq - just as random as that word’s letter heights are. which is not random at all, you’re just not supposed to use it like that.


  • verdana is great for small sizes on screen. it was designed specifically for that purpose so it would look good with pixellation. it’s probably the most successfully designed Microsoft font to date. if you want to type anything in like 5-6pt font verdana is a great choice. but that also makes it bulky and inelegant at larger font sizes.

    if you want a sans serif default ms font to use in larger sizes the segoe font family is pretty good.



  • if violence is not acceptable, all healthcare ceos must be in prison for life. they’re not, so it is.

    in reality, there’s a desperate attempt at drilling the idea into our minds that violence against the powerful isn’t acceptable. this obsessive coverage of how people don’t condemn this shooting is happening literally at the same time that someone who murdered a homeless person was allowed to walk. is there outrage in the media about how this is unacceptable?

    not really. you kill a homeless person, you walk. you kill a CEO who’s responsible for thousands of deaths, you get charged with terrorism.

    the ceo’s violence is acceptable. killing homeless people is acceptable. the police killing practically anyone is acceptable. but if you just threaten a CEO, you get 15 years in prison.

    this is bullshit. what they want is for you to only count one particular kind of violence unacceptable. the kind that might lead to liberation. it happened with women, black people and lgbtq. they can’t allow the liberation of the lower economic classes too. that would be terrible.








  • I don’t find him worthy of referring by name either. As a cunt obsessed with two things, one of which is putting his name literally everywhere, he just gives needy and pathetic energy. He’s unworthy. There are so many better and more appropriate names you can call him anyway. Like orange pedo rapist.

    If you wanna think we’re scared because it makes you feel less pathetic yourself, have at it, hoss. I hope you have fun riding that weird-ass high.
