Greetings all. I was told by a friend that there is a person here that collects and uses fountain pens. I myself collect and use mechanical pencils. It was suggested that I come here, introduce myself and then fight Fountain Pen Man to the death.

Not sure what word I was typing out that autocorrect turned into compensated

Maybe complimented

Also, the obese story happened on my first day of psychology class😂 the person showed up in a bear onesie

@Gunner Fox you'll want @Legalize

Yeah the weight thing is absurd

Especially when these people want universal healthcare

You cannot have both

🎩 Cheers. I imagine I will have deadly conversation of great lethality with monsignor Legalize 😁

@Beemann I feel like obesity would be the most compelling argument to why we shouldnt implement universal healthcare. But ya know, the fatties want "free" healthcare cause they dont wanna lose weight so they can work

YESS.. GOOOOOD

I am fire aligned afterall~

Hmm.... Does a duel to the death count as a <#586033832277442590> ?

@Legalize I use pencil too and Im impressed by your passion

This is why I'm actually not a fan of the notion of the popular vote. I dont think the goal should be to try to use government power for personal interest

I mean the purpose of electoral college is to protect the states against the absolute power of coastal cities

If we didnt have EC, New York and Los Angeles would basically rule the entire union

Yup, and it's why Canada rejected proportional representation

Imagine having californians rule the country

Gross

I have only one fountain pen. Behold! @Legalize

Bad enough having Vancouver influence so much of BC politics

>trying to shut down mills in lumber towns so they dont have to yeet wolves

Pencils can write on virtually any surface regardless of the direction of gravity, or the lack of gravity.

They can also be used for smooth uniform shading in visual art, not merely used for crosshatching.

I just wanna be able to erase stuff when I mess up

Especially since Im left handed and smudging is inevitable

You're so humble Leg

A fellow lefty?

Actually I agree with the crossing out part when it comes to information, but other times with art it is necessary to erase.

The struggles of being left handed man

Fucken binder books are the bane of my existence

Pencils cannot dry up, nor do the have the potential to explode in-pocket.

Actually, I like art tools and writing instruments in general, but my obsession is with graphite, mechanical pencils in particular. I do some calligraphy, and some various dry media art and painting in digital paint and oils. I have a single calligraphy pen at the moment. I've lost all my others, but I also have some crow quill dip pens.

Rotring made a very neat "technical" fountain pen a while back which has since become a very expensive collector's item. Not so interested in that. I am interested in the Pilot Elite 95. I prefer EF and very fine lines for writing and for drawing.

Hmm. I dunno. I like pencils for writing a lot. The tactile feedback and ability to correct mistakes is nice, as well as laying out guide rules and margins in a non-permanent way.

Have either of you ever tried...

The trouble being that it's much less permanent for archival needs than is inks, unless the workpiece is treated with fixative.

word processing software?

word processing software?? pbbpbtpbtpbt. Oog Bored with word processors.
