I would have failed every design class I took in college if I submitted that. Why such wide kerning? Why lower case but upper G? Why so round? Why so completely unreadable at a distance because of micro serifs? There isn’t one good design element in this.
Could be worse. It could be a Cisco WS-C3650 series switch.
Student brought Madonna’s Sex book to school. Made it on one of the evening tabloid shows. Tossed small rodents into the open windows of passing cars. Sodomized baseball players with broom handle. Checked girls underwear on the way into prom to make sure they weren’t wearing thongs. Blink 182
Only two of those are on Wikipedia.
Take a bunch of sheltered early 20th century peasants and tell them they are the best soldiers in the world. Send them off to war with instructions to kill one of two groups of people that look the same, sound the same, dress the same and carry the same weapons. They were never meant to survive.
Dan is the guy that knows stuff. Jordan is the loud sidekick comic relief.
Alexa, set an eye exam appointment for Worx.
I need to know that Dan and Jordan will get access to the desk.
I keep refreshing my pod feed waiting for the next episode.
I am waiting for the next episode to drop. Biggest episode ever.
That’s certainly one way to read it. Except you don’t know anything else about me. The problem isn’t the interest in other identities. The problem is the complete clusterfuck of identities presented in that headline. Each additional descriptor narrows down the field of people it’s talking about until you end up with n=1. It’s so incredibly niche that most people, including myself, can’t even picture what must be going on in the heads of these people. Maybe if there was a poster child that would help. But it would take a 30 minute podcast interview to delve into all of those aspects and help it all make sense. Just trying to square the religion plus anarchy section makes the brain hurt. And then we get more niche after that.
Each day on Lemmy I scroll and scroll and then I reach a headline where after reading it I have to parse what it says. And then I realize it’s gibberish. And then I realize it’s the bottom of the feed and what I’m reading has a negative score.
Today this was that post.
Please, let’s not do this. Lets just enjoy sites that aren’t toxic without making them toxic by written articles with headlines like this.
Usually losing them. Though there was this one time where I shorted some wires And the best portion of serratedness became useless.
And that’s why I buy $5 pocket knives. I’m not spending twice as much to wait two weeks for a replacement when I depend on my pocket knife every single day.
I try to BIFL whenever I can but this is one case where the trade-off of a cheap knife are better.
No, seriously, every day. I’m a handyman. I’m lost without my pocket knife. I have to replace one about every two years.
I’ve seen the effect. It’s just like after Brazil cut Twitter off. My very niche account has been gaining new followers by the hour.
I have no idea how people interested in Heathcliff are being found by new people. Much less people interested in Heathcliff without Heathcliff.
These people aren’t looking for fare. They are looking for excuses to always paint every choice as failure.
This is dumb, petty and counterproductive.
But a lot of conservatives were complaining that Harris had to know that Biden wasn’t capable of the job and she should have activated the 25th amendment. But she didn’t do that and when he did step aside to let her be the candidate these same people that were all about her kicking him out of office were now saying that this was a bloodless coup even though she was only running for pres instead of actually being president. Basically they were irked because she didn’t do what they wanted and would have been upset if she did what they wanted. Damned if she did and damned if she didn’t.
So if he steps down and she becomes president they get to be unhappy about it and claim the high ground both ways.
Really wish we had adults running things instead of transparently partisan idiots who don’t hold any consistent core belief system.
Define “die.” Dig still exists…
A workshop.
All those tools with dedicated reasons for existing. All those improvised tools that are highly specialized. All the scraps and leftovers saved for some unknown day in the future. The whole vibe is opportunity to create.
The “a” is the worst part for me. You can’t see those little stubbs at a distance. So it reads JoGuor at a distance. They didn’t just fail to create a good logo, they failed to preserve the name. One bit of advice I always give is “imagine this logo on the back of a golf card or a Pride brochure. If the logo isn’t crisp and readable in black and white in a 1/2 inch square then it sucks.” This design fails that test. Not just because of the messed up “a” but the wide spacing makes those unreadable "a"s even smaller than if the letters weren’t so widely spaced.
