    There’s just something about fonts that are supposed to look hand-written but are too perfectly curved, every letter looking perfectly consistent, etc, that my brain rejects.

    Like when you see CGI or computerised physics in a film that’s 90% there, but there’s something about it that you can’t put your finger on that leaves a somewhat jarring “this isn’t right! Something is wrong here!” in my primative monkey brain.

    Let’s bring back those animated gifs (mailbox and under construction) from the 90s. That’ll get everyone riled back up again.

    Comic Sans really isn’t that bad, it’s just one of those things that became trendy to hate by people who are incapable of developing their own personality. Like the word “moist”

    I… actually never hated Comic Sans and never understood why it was so hated. I mean, at least everyone knows about it.

    I always thought the Algerian font was ugly as hell (it probably has nothing to do with Algeria)

      There’s a Reader mode in Firefox/Mull that you press before the page completely loads, i.e. before the wall appears. Works on most sites.

        If i were better at frame perfect tricks I’d be a speedrunner.
        I can only get it to work sometimes. Pages often load too fast for me… I’m washed up…
