i've always said it (in my head because i dont talk about gifs out loud) with a soft g and i always will because i do not bend to the woke online mob. also i think because the letters in the word "gif" are in "giraffe" and so i decided it must be a soft g.
also i'm a soft type of g myself.

9/11 made a lot of countries really like america for a minute there but then america got angry :/

9/11 killed a lot of people, but it also made a lot of countries hate america, so it's impossible to say if it's bad or not,
neku wrote
well it allowed the usa to invade the middle east so who can say if 9/11 was good or bad

well i can't be the judge on that until you specify the year and whether it's month/day or day/month

Yes, I enjoy the lack of friction when writing, feels like my hand can be much more relaxed. I also like the endless-refilling-with-barely-any-waste aspect.

I used a fountain pen all through school, from the age of about 8 to 16. For the vast majority of this time I used a single pen, a very cheap one (I think it was a pack of two or three for about £2). Since I'd used it so much at a slightly odd angle, the nib wore right down and I was so used to it that if it ever broke I'd take ages to get used to a new one.
I ended up dropping out of school at 16 and I never went back to collect my stuff, so that pen's final resting place is unknown. I've not used a fountain pen since. In university, I decided on a whim to start writing exclusively with mechanical pencils, and I really like them to casually write with. I have a fancy steel Parker mechanical pencil I was given as a gift and that's my main writing tool.

I have no paper to write on, every time I need or want to do some algebra I go hunting for an envelope to write on and any pen at all.
I should get a notebook and a decent pen and just use it; I have nothing to use to write.

Vim is a text editor that is kind of hard to get used to but its fans love it to bits

i'm a fountain pen newbie and they are definitely a hassle compared to disposable pens but i enjoy looking at the variation in ink colours. i bought this in a brick-and-mortar stationery store and it's just very pretty
i feel like it's the sort of thing writers pick up

no i used to bother buying nice (i.e. maybe like four pens for $20) pens but then i realised that it didnt make enough difference to me to care or bother. so now i just use whatever generic pen branded with some company i dealt with once or some bic stabilo pilot or something that i bought when it was getting hard for me to buy a pen. in fairness i use a tablet for school work so really i'm using a Microsoft TM Surface TM Pen TM
i've never actually used a fountain pen but it seems like it would be a hassle.
