@lizardsquid if you count it as different from English-style, the Spanish convention of inheriting a family name from both father and mother

Dotsies is a font that compresses the Latin alphabet down to dots that can be read quickly (and learned quickly too, apparently). There are a few lessons on the homepage to get started

There's a touch of #cyberpunk here in that I wonder if this is the beginning of transforming text to human readable barcodes

also I've realised that if I go on mastodon, I never want to leave because you're all so lovely and amazing

so if I want to actually get stuff done, I'm gonna need to figure something out... any suggestions?

@lizardsquid so in my fantasy world humans are the only species that can function as like "boom fireball wizard"

this is only because of careful breeding over centuries, so you have your name as follows {Fathers House} {Mothers House} {Given Name} {Title or Nickname, Usually what your friends call you over your given name} {Power}

The power being referred to is your bloodlines channeling ability, which is rated """""Scientifically"""""" by a special part of their society

tea and hot chocolate are on par

@lizardsquid Indian style is really neat and I haven't quite wrapped my head around it. It's so varied there-- and it's near completely incompatible with English naming conventions. ^^;;

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_f

thinking about alternative naming schemes for humans

examples from real life:

* English-style: Given Middle Family
* Iceland-style: Given (Middle?) (Father's Given)(gender marker)
* Japan-style: Family Given

and that's all I know - what are some other (real or fictional) naming systems?

I you what about talking-are not-know

question for poly people (feel free to boost) 

@lizardsquid A relationship isn't something set in stone, and the titles for relationships are much more fluid than people think.

The only thing you need to turn a friend you love into a partner is the mutual consent to use the term. That's all you need to make it valid.

What it requires beyond that is established through a long period (possibly even life-long!) of negotiation between both loves. ♥️

question for poly people (feel free to boost) 

for me, the difference between "partner" and "a friend I love" is a level of trust and a commitment to being together.

is that it? am I missing something?

update for the people who are trying to make me their nbf 

please don't stop flirting/sending hearts/etc, though!!!!

After a review of Proudhon's journals it's been discovered that he only ever drank herbal tea 

Because apparently proper tea is theft
