It’s ð letter which represents ð soft ‘th’ sound ð way þ represents ð hard version. Like B and P but if we had just accepted representing boþ wið an fh for some reason.

You’ve got þat backwards… Þorne is þe unvoiced letter, as in þem or boþ, whereas eð is þe voiced, as in faðer.

Source: A semester of Old West Norse language class (wherein þorne and eð are used in the same way as in English).

Interesting. Curious – beyond the historical linguistic context, do you find yourself using ðis style because you’re deeply passionate about these language quirks, or is it also a way to make your writing stand out? Or perhaps it’s a bit of boð, or something different?

I’m not one of the people who downvoted you. I like your passion. But maybe this is one of those things we can deal with after we’ve got a handle on climate change.

Tony, Chapelle, and Joe Rogan are actively murdering comedy. They blame everyone but themselves because they can’t get with the times. They look down on people and punch down constantly, and still manage to miss the mark. They are not down to earth, they are not relatable, and they should NOT be looked up to.

That’s spot on.

If you look at actual funny people, they’ve worked out a way to do it without being heavily racist.

If you look at shows like Brooklyn 99, they did an amazing job at respecting everyone whilst being hilarious. The parts of this nonsense I saw, was just cringe. It seemed like they were trying more to advertise racism than going for humor, because even my mates are funnier and they’re not professionals

It feels like they were probably surrounded by yes men their whole lives so have lost touch

There are large number of Puerto Ricans in many swing states (+ important downballot races), and Republicans have been trying to court their vote. This isn’t doing them any favors

Peurto Ricans by state

  • Pennsylvania: 450k
  • North Carolina: 100k
  • Wisconsin: 65k
  • Michigan: 50k
  • Florida: 1.1 million
  • New York: 1 million

It doesn’t even have to change minds all that much to matter. If any trump-leaning Puerto Ricans just don’t turnout, it matters a lot

Of course I hope you are right, but if after the past decade and everything that has happened, that has been said, this election seems to be in a dead heat instead of Harris/Waltz winning by anything other than a landslide, I hold no illusions about the intelligence and decency of the “average” american voter, these people are already dead inside, or at least not too far removed from illiterate medieval peasants, easily dazzled by bullshit and god-kings with magic political wands… abraca-fucking-dabra.

I think it’s up to the race he’s going after to decide if this is offensive or not. And we Latinos agree it’s offensive. Mainly because it’s not funny it’s just thinly veiled jokes used to push his real beliefs. And his “jokes” are lame and lazy. We have a good sense of humor I’m sure that’s been established throughout the years, if you make good jokes about us we’ll laugh and even respect you, but this guy is a known right winger and he’s making these “jokes” that are clearly not really jokes.

Also he said later people took it out of context but I think context makes it worse, the context is that he said this stuff during an official event for an official candidate
