The questionmark is a different font

[โ€“] AffineConnection@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

It's technically all the same font. The script characters are "Mathematical Bold Script" Unicode characters (U+1D4D0 to U+1D503), rather than plain ASCII letters in a separate, cursive web font:

"But what if you have to write a job application letter?"

Well, Ms Sullivan, you were WRONG.

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

"It's so you can do the math even if you don't have a calculator available"

"Oh, like literally never?"

[โ€“] TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (5 children)

It's still pretty useful to do simple math in your head. For example chicken adding a few numbers together or multiplying something. In general stuff that would take longer to type in than just calculating yourself.

The main reason why kids write like neanderthals nowadays.

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Personally, I'm an elder millenial and the reason I write like a neanderthal is the lack of fine motor skills that comes with ADHD.

I avoid writing anything by hand when I can and thankfully society has finally progressed to the point that that's almost always.

My handwriting has always sucked. ๐Ÿ˜ญ My cursive is worse than my print; totally ineligible.

[โ€“] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 21 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I feel i retain better information if I handwrite my notes.

So I do that.

[โ€“] TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Personally I even do that digitally. Tablets are basicly a limitless piece of paper.

[โ€“] barry@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I tried that, but I much prefer the haptics of real paper and writing with an actual pen. Also, I really like the look of ink on paper. Of course, there are still cases when a tablet is just the best. For example, when annotating PDFs.

[โ€“] TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's deffenetly weird at first. And as everything not for everybody.

[โ€“] Misconduct@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm with you personally. Being able to just move whole blocks of writing makes for some amazing note organization. Not to mention linking things etc.

[โ€“] banquo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes this is also shown to be the case in scientific studies. Something something reinforcing memories by activating several parts of the brain at once. Yes I'm too lazy to actually find one and link it but I've come across it several times

[โ€“] platypode@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Not being able to just slam every word the prof says into your computer also forces you to be more deliberate about what you choose to write down, which makes handwritten note taking a form of active learning--you are real-time engaging with and processing the content rather than unthinkingly slapping a keyboard.

[โ€“] barry@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, but for my own notes it's not a problem if the handwriting is ugly. I still like to write by hand, even if my handwriting looks pretty messy.

[โ€“] coffeebiscuit@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It also improves the small motor skills. Writing is good for the brain.

I have factory defects and have small motor problems anyways.

[โ€“] enjoytemple@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It definitely was not a waste of time! Grab a cheap fountain pen and give yourself a new hobby :)

[โ€“] barry@feddit.de 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

pro tip: you can still write ugly if you use a fountain pen

Fun fact: me and two other guys were the first ever at our school to be allowed to take our written exit exams on a computer. We had to bring our own and, this being 1999, that meant desktop pcs with huge clunky crt screens ๐Ÿ˜

[โ€“] ninjan@lemmy.mildgrim.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My parents got laptops from work back in 95. But a home computer was of course still a fair bit cheaper and far more powerful.

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, my brothers and I mostly used the family computer for gaming, and putting the words "gaming" and "laptop" together was a total joke back then ๐Ÿ˜„

[โ€“] ninjan@lemmy.mildgrim.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My Dad had a Mac which made it even worse but some of my fondest childhood memories are around playing Full Throttle on that thing. Though Hocus Pocus on my mother's windows 95 PC is probably my first exposure to PC gaming. But I've played NES since I could physically grasp a controller!

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With my brothers and me, it was Commodore 64 (Bubble Bobble, Giana Sisters, International Karate, Rockstar Ate My Hamster and many more), then Amiga 500 (Outrun, the first Formula 1, Defender of the Crown and others that don't come to mind right now) and THEN pc gaming ๐Ÿ˜

[โ€“] ninjan@lemmy.mildgrim.com 2 points 1 year ago

Then you're likely the same age as my uncle. In many ways I'm a bit sad I missed that era, the Commodore 64 really shaped a generation in ways the NES just didn't do because it was "just" a game system. Programming was just so "accessible" in a lack of better words on the 64 and it just didn't get as accessible again I feel until YouTube but it's just not the same. I tried to dabble on PC back in the late 90s and early 00s but it was wild west with poor resources outside of schools/heavy (English) literature and full of viruses! In late middle school I learned Basic and it blew my mind back then. But Java felt like such a let down in University. Nowadays I'm into scripting instead and work DevOps.

On a long enough time frame everything is just a waste of time.

On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

That we know of.

[โ€“] polyfire@waveform.social 3 points 1 year ago

Soon we'll all just be talking to our computers and physical input devices will be a relic. We're prolly gonna get to a point where were just hooked up to neural networks. Over time people will forget that we used to be able to speak.

[โ€“] Deepus@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

When I was young my mum n dad used to force me to do a hour of writing everyday after school to improve my writing, never worked, and now I work in IT so have almost zero reason for a pen or pencil. What a waste of time. Good job I was unsupervised and only used to do it once a week then give them the same sheet every day!

[โ€“] orphiebaby@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Somehow I have never seen that sad Morgan Freeman face before.

I think its right before he gets got at the end of Wanted.

[โ€“] XTornado@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Me having the worse 5 year old writing: Thanks God! ๐Ÿ™

my handwriting is atrotious. I feel vindicated.

A keyboard. How quaint.
