After like 5 tries and squinting and using my finger to block lines as I went along, I managed to verify for myself that it does in fact have the proper amount of lines.

It's not just the correct amount of lines but connections between the lines are actually there, if they should be that is, if you look closely.
Oh shit you’re right
Wow. You really had to zoom in for that one. +2 to the artist for such attention to detail.
Your service is appreciated.
Thank you for your service.

What the fuck
It's easier to read after a few pints of vodka

Such a beautiful language
Well, that's why you add dots and stuff over the letters so it becomes "easy" to distinguish. Example Kurrent script:
Bonus points for actually connecting the "fence posts" at the correct spots to form "minimum".

Titivillus has also been described as collecting idle chat that occurs during church service, and mispronounced, mumbled or skipped words of the service, to take to Hell to be counted against the offenders
Damn..that narc needs to RELAX 😆

Wow! This is just what I often joke about to my friends. I write in such heavy cursives that when I write words like Minimum or Aluminium, they become hard to read for anyone else.

I get very anxious when someone starts such a long word so far to the right* of the page.
* obviously only for LTR direction
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what makes transcribing some very olde texts REALLY fucking hard.
Like the texts in the tabletop Warhammer 1st edition campaign. Only one character in the party can read because of literacy in that universe and era. I understand why.

Is this how calligraphy looks to people who can't read cursive?
Being from somewhere where everyone learns cursive and most use it in handwriting, I was very surprised when I learned a lot of (mostly American?) people can't make any sense of it at all.
I remember a guy posting an old handwritten letter on Reddit, just asking for a transcript. And while I agree many people have terrible handwriting that is absolutely undecipherable for anyone but themselves (if at all), this was not the case at all here.
I understand why that would be a problem if someone never learned it or only in passing and never used it again, but it's so weird being able to read something naturally with no effort while others treat it like a mysterious cryptogram.
I guess they have stopped teaching it at some of schools in the United States. The kids that don't know it are really passionate about why they don't need to know it, to the point of calling it stupid. I made some arguments in a post about it a week ago and they're adamant that they don't need and don't want it. Obviously I think people should still learn it, but I don't sit on a school board.
I think cursive is a low priority on a list of increasingly important extracurricular topics.

Fuck off Russian cursive
You're upsetting шиншилла
All I see is MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Is this what dyslexia is like?
Take a word like, "minimum;" to choose a random word.
For anyone to say they cannot read it is absurd!
