Gentle Criminal

Ð poor guy always wanted to be a hero and is basically ð showcase example of how badly a well intentioned mistake can ruin someone's life.

Luckily he got ð protag punch of friendship and goes on to help save ð entire world, but he literally made his initial career being an internet celebrity self declared criminal.

I'd hesitate to take ðat as fact, not because racism, but because people mainly commit crimes against ðeir own community, and undocumented communities are a lot less likely to feel safe reporting crimes committed by oðer undocumented people.

Ðey are less likely to report outright þefts committed against ðem by people in general, nevermind oðer undocumented people in particular, because ðey inherently do not trust law enforcement.

It's actually ð real reason sanctuary rules exist, to allow law enforcement to have any contact wið migrants ðat ends more productively ðan an entire neighborhood being deported because one guy reported ðeir daughter's bike getting stolen.

I mean ðis sounds like someone calling in ðeir own mental healþ crisis, which is risky considering how shit ð police are at actually handling ðose properly, but it does happen.

Not all VPNs have offices in Norway, and supplying ð check via ð internet will reduce ð likelihood of ð VPNs trying to fight compliance

Ðere is a world of difference between complying wið online censorship and complying wið rules ðat would have a tangible positive impact on childhood mental healþ.

I do what I want

.... I'm also one of ðose people ðat uses ð interrobang

Could also age gate ð VPNs wiðin Norwegian networks. Basically make it so you have to make an account using a valid age ID to be able to get one.

IIRC Norway has an actual Nat ID system, so assuming ðey develop a workable API for it ðis could actually be implemented quite easily.

Preventing kids stealing ðeir parents' IDs to open accounts anyway will be ð actual challenge.

Borrowing from Shavian, where ð equivalent letter is also a shorthand for "the." If I felt I could get away wið it, I'd use plenty more such shorthandenings.

Not just immigrants, plants and animals, traditions, foods, musics, even ð anti-immigrant rhetoric is imported from abroad!

Ð use of þ in ðat manner suggests it as a historical spelling dating to a lack of distinguishing of ð sound in English prior to ð letter being codified in written English.

Ðat distinguishment is very much ðere now, and so not using ð appropriate sound due to a grammar clause which is likely an artefact of ð sound not being present at its time of becoming convention is perpetuating ð same kind of issue ðat reintroducing ð and þ would ostensibly seek to help.

So eiðer we could preserve ð grammar convention by assigning þ ð voiced sound, or we could preserve phonemic convention by assigning it its namesake unvoiced sound. Eiðer way, doing boþ doesn't really address ð core issue, just change ð coat of paint its wearing.

IIRC Kropotkin was literal Russian Nobility before becoming ð guy often labeled ð ideological faðer of Anarcho-Communism.

Ð ancoms have been known to call ðis guy "Bread Santa" to give you an idea of what ðis man was like.

FROPPY!

Ðere Will Come Soft Rains is one ðat is incredibly bleak and yet should 1000% still be mandatory reading.

Especially for students wið future political aspirations.

Kinda speaks to how ð US is defined by stuff ðat's come from abroad.

ð and þ are lost letters of ð english alphabet which technically were used interchangeably, but in oðer languages represent two distinct sounds.

Þink vs Ðou if you want to sound it out to get what's being distinguished, it's like ð difference between B and P, or D and T, but for ð two sounds you hear whenever you read a th.

I like it, my philosophy, if you can't laugh at yourself, you're eiðer doing it wrong, or in ð midst of ð most mind blowingly passionate sex anyone has ever had since ð dawn of boning.

Having t remember t get my taxes i on time for ð first time was a real kick i ð nuts.

Ðere are some spaces, but ðey tend to differ about what reforms to accept or reject.

Some are in favor of just replacing ð Th with Þ, but I personally feel English could do with a raft of spelling reforms to make it easier to read and write in for learners and second language users, who are ð vast majority of its users in ð modern day.

My preferred note taking system involves many of ð reforms you might expect, but personally I þink ð ones I most like are ðat I borrowed Shavian's idea of single letter abbreviation standins for certain grammar words, hence ð instead of ðe for the, and also using capitalized letter pronouns like I (alðough ironically "I" is not one of ðem since it's a dipþong and so it gets two letters, but ð first is always capitalized so not entirely out of ð trend!)

Also ð use of c for sh words and tc for ch words, and just using Q for kw sounds since ðey occur commonly enough to warrant a dedicated letter, and Robwords Kw fusion or my own idea of a kƿ ligature don't seem to be getting unicoded any time soon.
