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

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.

but it's so nice to be able to press backspace

MAYBE an allowance for mechanical typewriters.

You guys are like cavemen sticking to spears after the first bow was invented to hunt their mammoths

Or something else suitably silly

Perhaps we are. But mammoth meat is bountiful and delicious.

I don't doubt the meat, I doubt the spears

Ahhh, I prefer to erase my past errors

bury them deep

hahaha

Never think of them again

@Louis Carlos Fer word

Isn't that like renaming parks and removing monuments?

I am but a man

Implying those were mistakes

jk but srs

How long until someone shows up to represent typewriters?
