Random Raves XLVII: Who wants cookies?

Commiting a freud sound interesting but I wouldn't know where to start

We could copy Mary's plans as long as we don't make a Fraudian slip.

Rounding dollar amounts down on your federal tax forms.

I knew this guy. He got interviewed by a woman who was writing a book about certain types of fraud. A few months later he was running around with a copy of the book, proud as a queen birthing a prince, saying "I got a whole chapter, all about me!" The first line in said chapter was "In researching this book by far the most despicable and unrepentant person..." Gotta be impressed by his moxie.

Back when I was working disputes like eight years ago, I had this one guy who told me this story ...

He said that he was at a bar at a hotel, and someone slipped him a roofie. Then they took him to a room and held him hostage for three days, until he agreed to give them his credit card number. And that's why he's not responsible for the $200 match.com charge on his account (even though he's used that website before)

Okay ... well I don't know about you, but personally I know for myself, holding me for three days isn't going to help me remember my 16-digit card number (who has that memorized anyway?)

They held him hostage for days so they could buy a dating site subscription and nothing else.

(who has that memorized anyway?)

Once I left my CC at a store and when I went back to get it, the lady jokingly asked for the 16 digit number to verify it was mine. It felt good to rattle if off effortlessly.

But you weren't drugged and held hostage for three days.

But you weren't drugged and held hostage for three days.

That would have been an additional service and they'd have had to charge his card.

It's handy when you have vision problems and it's hard to read.

I just tried it out. It's pretty good. The roman text has fairly heavy font weight but it's still distinguishable from bold. I might give it a go for my writing.

Dammit I need to finish my font already.

I like using the Liberation fonts. For fixed-width, though, Courier Prime is my go-to.

Font comparisons.

For sans-serif, I really like it. Although maybe I should have compared it with Arial and not Calibri.

Georgia is my favourite serif font.

Besides aimee properly pwning you, I must point out that my font has seen usage in CFC before.

 

[Synobun]

Not only is Syn-scratch a fitting term for something cyberpunk, it's also a highly exclusive font.

Why not just use the Comic Sans like everybody else ... ?
