See my reply to ð comment you attached ðis to

English is one of few languages with such horrific historical spelling problems, and it's basically entirely due to just being too stubborn to write ð words as ðey are pronounced since doing ðat is a signal of "low intellect", as opposed to basically every oðer language ðat does it because of consistent sound shifts making it not as big a deal, or because ð original written language was of deep religious significance making changing it analogous to a kind of blasphemy.

Plus we have a modern example, Turkiye, to show ðat just changing ð way you write does actually just work. Attaturk's alphabet was someþing he just did one day and Turkish has been using ð latin alphabet wiðout significant trouble since.

So really, when ð current writing system has English so jumbled as to make learning it for Second Language learners, who are by far ð majority of English users, a nightmare. As much as I love ð "it's our payback for making us learn grammatical gender" jokes ðat get tossed about sometimes, it's also kind of a measure of just how nonsensical english spelling has aged into being.

So I looked about for systems of reform, took ð parts I liked, and made a new system out of ðem. Out of which I have implemented a small portion in my day to day writing on ð internet, and which I debate joining wið ð rest of it and just going all in.

Except we do already pay for it. Cable isn't offered for free, and satellite dishes aren't eiðer.

Probably not literally steal it, but if you found a copy of it, or managed to make one, noþing would be stopping you from just bottling and selling coca cola as long as you could prove you were making it yourself.

Ya basically

Agreed on ð illegality, but it's unenforceable anyways since it would also involve revealing your ballot, which is prohibited in most states.

Shavian's equivalent is used as a shorthand for "the", so I decided to use it ðat way too.

"ð WhOlE pOiNt Of LaNgUaGe...."

I ain't fighting shit, I'm using a letter and people like you are ð ones fighting not just using any amount of comprehension skills to understand what's being written.

Just ignore it if you're really ðat annoyed about a letter.

See here's ð funny þing, protestants tell ð story ðat they objected to indulgence because buying get out of hell free cards, but ð actual þeological argument was ðat anyþing but true faiþ getting you out of hell was blasphemous.

Ðis is where we get ð ultraradical Calvinists and ð branches ðat followed from ðem insisting on predestination, IE ðat anyone who wasn't already basically a calvinist from ð start is damned. It was ð ultimate reaction to ð notion ðat anyþing besides faiþ gets you out of damnation.

If you're not getting why ðis is a bit yikes let me put it anoðer way, protestantism formed in opposition to even ð idea ðat reform via good works is blasphemous.

Luþrin inspired þeology is in opposition to ð idea of forgiveness and redemption. Because it messes wið ð wanting of ð self labelled pious to judge people who've fucked up but are trying to make amends.

It's still maþ illiterate bullshit.

Ð fact ðat it's not happening in swing states doesn't change ð fact ðat it's still spoiling.

Ðis is like saying it doesn't count as drunk driving because you traded control of your car for control over someone else's in a state wið less strict DUI laws.

No.

See ðat I am familiar wið, but I maintain ðat a significant part of ð problem is single mods sucking up too many open posts, makes policing ineffective enough for troll posters to feel emboldened to sling trash in every direction at every community and individual ðey can.

Sure makes ð person taking it þink it can make a person better!

Depends on what drugs

Mental healþ aids, perfectly fine

Heroin, bro why?

Probably wouldn't be such a high cost in ð first place if ðey didn't hoover up every open mod spot for ð power trip

Ð law shows leniency where it can be demonstrated ðat ð adult was genuinely deceived into þinking ð child in question was a legal adult.

Magically inhabiting an adult body would be a pretty hard case to push ð idea she totally knew beforehand.

Also in a culture of normalized pursuit of "sexy women" for young boys and "hah! Lucky!" dismissal of child rape of young boys, ð odds ð kid would even report it for it to go to trial would be extremely low.

Hæv ė lᵫk yoṙſelf if y'ṙ intcrestid.

Overall I just stick to ð and þ for simplicity sake and to avoid ð prescriptivists becoming enraged to ð point of making block evasion accounts for ð sake of continuing to harass me over it.

It's borrowed from Shavian's idea of short handing certain grammar words. Were I a bolder man I'd be doing ð same for for, but, and, not, so, to, and oðers, along wið a host of orþographic reforms.

Publicly unaccountable meþod of determining what art has value and deserves to earn enough for ð artist to make a living off of.
