RANDOM RANTS XLVI: Slightly More Than a Month-ly Edition #1

[Mathalamus]

a friend actively deleted me and blocked me on facebook, for no apparent reason.

i don't know what i did wrong. the usual excuse of coming on too strong doesn't make sense here, as i specially made sure that didn't happen.

EDIT: i take that rather badly because she was the first one in known history to do that. its like she thought i was so disgustingly bad she didnt think i deserved to be treated like a human.

So I accidentally punched a hole in some guy's apartment...

Not if the love is never returned, no.

I know that feel, bro

JoanK needs some huggin'....

(and cake too!!)

I almost laughed for this somewhat being a parallel of my situation.

Adjusting to DST sucks. I get an hour less of sleep.

 

[Takhisis]

Someone help me, the SkiFree addiction is getting worse.

You do not use Comic Sans for the figures of a scientific paper. That is sick and wrong. I hope these authors are the only ones in France who do so.

^^lol NOPE

 

[Mathalamus]

theres nothign wrong with comic sans. i which people would stop focusing on how it looks, which is barely noticeable and has no effect whatsoever.

It's a typeface. It's primarily visual. It's what you are supposed to judge it for, like a game and its gameplay. And getting published in a scientific journal means an air of solemn dignity and academic decorum. Comic Sans projects neither of those. What next, Neuland in the Journal of Modern African Studies?

You heard about the CERN scientist who gave her god-particle presentation in Comic Sans, right?

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Was it for the media though? Or was the audience primarily scientists, like the XXVIth General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union that introduced the dwarf planet category?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Can't remember. Does it make a difference?

it still makes no difference. if the put it in wingblings, or whatever its called, then i'd understand. you shouldn't judge anyone or anything just because of that font.

The latter would be far worse. Once again, academic decorum and all that. No room for goofy fonts there, just as there is no room for rainbow-coloured letters or sarcasm tags.

I'm with Mathalamus here. Dissing comic sans is ridiculous. It's just a bleeping font, people. So just. Bleeping. Chillax.

 

[ace99]

When I get an application in comic sans I throw it in the trash.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

But it's just an effing font! Why do employers have to be such poopyheads? And why can't I use personal pronouns in my submitted manuscript? They're just words! I suggest taking a chill pill, Mr. Peer Reviewer.

Considering the trivial non-issues that tend to put you over the edge, you should shut up.

 

[Borachio]

Oooh. Now watch Mr P rear up at that!

(Here he goes. He'll prove me either right or wrong, I bet.)
