    you know, for some reason i totally love vainglorious personas in hip hop or like, up-their-own-ass athletes. i find that sort of confident, heel-ish swagger to be entertaining. but i can't do it for academics, intellectuals, creatives etc. my reflexive reasoning is that it smacks of classism and intellectual snobbery, which i find to be much greater sins than the implications of superiority shown by a ufc fighter or a rapper about how hard he is to kill or whatever. it's ironic, actually, now that i type that out- because a bunch of hip hop's bravado is literally i got more money than you ever got. but something about a rich, successful white guy flexing his intellectual muscles- which were massaged and fed and grown in international travel and wealth- makes me a little sick.

    that said, i also love nabokov's prose. and myself speaking a language with a completely different alphabet, i sympathize with the principal complaint. i'm not a gifted linguist by any means but i find almost every translation between english and hebrew to be painfully inadequate.

    Does either one stand out as clearly better? Does the second's design help avoid gunk getting in the keys, or make it worse?

    probably my strongest impression of jersey, living a mile from it for 18 years, is the diner culture. i find it to be a p strong disappointment how few family owned diners inhabit the rest of the country.

    There isn't a clear difference, if it's true both are legit clones of cherry mx blues. I'd go with the second because it does seem nice not having little crevices

    So on the one hand yes Nabokov was 100% an aristocrat

    On the other hand he had to flee his home country or be killed, and wrote at least one novel on a desk he made out of wood blocks on his toilet in a tiny apartment in exile in France
    Actually maybe that was on a ship? Regardless he had some amount of (romantic, fantastic, intriguing) hardship in his life.
    Also was married to a Jew which I think is why they left France?

    If you haven't already I would recommend watching some of Naseem Hameds fights on YouTube. He embodied up-their-own-ass athlete and has the skill to back it up.

    Look mazzy I'm just saying that Bryce Harper is wasted on the Nationals and that team will go no where. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings...

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Yeah, I decided I wanted that switch based on ten seconds of googling and the knowledge that human minds are adaptable.

    Basically now my choice is - nice no crevices, but weird nerdy letters, or super gay colors but crevices
