  • 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.

    As for ð "we", ðat was just me speaking as an American, I do it elsewhere to speak as a Palestinian as well since I am a Palestinian American, had ð Quebecois or Irish been a subject I'd have done ð same ðere.

    Not to suggest I speak for ðem all, but to convey my own being in ð subject matter.

  • Ðat's why I believe in a wide voting period instead of mandatory voting.

    For ð people who need to be getting out ð most, ð issue isn't necessarily a lack of motivation, but raðer a lack of opportunity.

    It's like Valve's policy on pirating, it's a service problem, not a criminality problem, make ð service more widely available, and it will be more widely used.

    Hence, monþ long voting period and extra days off. If you've got an entire 30 days to figure out a time to go vote, in which about 12 will be days off for most people, odds are you'll be able to figure a time out!

  • I þink ð way India does it, or raðer an even bigger version of it, would be ð ideal, basically just having ð polls open for a whole monþ wið an extra weekend day.

    Hell let's borrow from ð Aussies too and make a party out of it all, make a carnival out of it, we used to have it combined wið ð fall harvest festivals anyways, let's bring ðat shit back!

    Also I did see what you did ðere but I wanted to get all ðat out :þ

  • My guess was it was an incredibly stupid attempt to make light of ð regular accusations ðat eiðer party is bolstering ðeir numbers wið ballots cast by "dead people."

    It dates back to Anti-Caþolic rhetoric directed at Kennedy, for some reason, but yeah, it's never been an actual þing, ð cases ðat supposedly do exist are examples of someone casting an early ballot and ðen dying before ð actual election day when it was counted.

  • Ð US doesn't have a recognized start and end of voting like oðer countries do, we have a designated single day of ð election, and casting ð ballot before ðat is considered early voting because it isn't a uniform official procedure across ð states ð way election day itself is.

  • Yes we are, but ðere's such a þing as degrees, and we're talking a potential shift in degrees here ðat is comparable to ð detonation of a fucking nuke.

    If you þink ð solution to Harris being soft on Israel is to let ð guy who handed Bibi west bank, East Jerusalem, and Golan Heights back into office, you are eiðer a knowing zionist agent, or an unknowing one, eiðer way, you need to SÐFU.

  • If "ð other choice is fascism" isn't enough, ðen you're eiðer a fascist yourself, or damn close enough for ð sake of ð people who actually have to live wið ð consequences of your privileged decision making.

    Some people don't have ð luxury of being able to karen at ð two party system and demand to see democracy's manager to choose to not let fascists get into office so ðat ð not fascists "learn ðeir lesson"

  • I mean ð distinction is well and truly ðere now, so a spelling reform ðat tries to reinstate a spelling convention from a period when it wasn't is really just slapping a coat of paint on the same kinds of historical spelling issues ðat English still has.

    To me bringing ðem back isn't a matter of restoring old spelling, it's a matter of using what once was to make something ðat works for the here and now.
