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).

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.

I, too, have unskipable cutscenes over my special interests.

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?

They can’t vote, so why would they care? Easy targets, no apparent consequences.

Puerto Ricans can and do move and there’s large numbers of them in swing states. There’s 450 thousand just in Pennsylvania

EDIT: also doesn’t help that he also said

“These Latinos, they love making babies, too. Just know that they do,” Hinchcliffe said, setting up his joke: “There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They c-- inside, just like they did to our country."

Yeah, I was being mildly satirical. Insulting any people group seems like it should be a losing move. I wish it were.

Why the /s?

That’s literally the point. Easy target, plus they’re brown people i/e “Not Real Americans”

Bone stock Republican shit.

You couldn’t invent a band of chucklefucks more capable at torpedoing a presidential campaign…and yet here we are, tied, with apparently no ability to sway any voters away from Trump. It’s so demoralizing.

Tony Hinchcliffe is not funny. Watched his podcast for a while then totally abandoned it because I realized I wasn’t laughing during most episodes. It’s mostly seasoned comics taking cheap shots at amateurs and then saying some racist shit while they all laugh and no one in the audience does. His nasally voice is annoying as fuck and hitching his wagon to the trump train seems pretty on brand for that fuckwit. His comedy brand caters to the same people who really like Joe Rogan and Alex Jones, both regulars on the podcast. Shocking I know.

The joke only works if you understand that it’s not true and that no one can obviously believe it.

If it’s done where you and everyone thinks it’s true, you’re at a Klan rally or probably at the comedy mothership or something.
