Dumbest waste of time forever

Food prices are up, the cost of medical care is about to skyrocket in three weeks, we're on the verge of possible war with Venezuela, and the government is concerned about what font to use in printed documents. That sums up Trump in a nutshell.

I remember when Biden's handlers fucked up the supply chain and prices of everything went up. They said it was a temporary thing and prices would go down. They never did. Now gas prices are way down (have you noticed that?), egg prices have come down (They went up because Biden's assholes decided they needed to kill millions of chickens. Did you post about that?), prices on most things are coming down and once again the democrat party is convincing their dumb masses that the sky is falling down, and it's all because of Trump. Where were you on posting Biden's senile utterings and his handlers stupid moves and policies every day?

Health care costs are going up BECAUSE of obamacare. Exactly what was predicted when NOT ONE republican voted for it. What your party wants is more money we don't have to prop it up.

Where were you when Biden changed the fonts in the first place? Did you throw a hissy fit then?

(They went up because Biden's assholes decided they needed to kill millions of chickens.)

You do understand that there was a bird flu epidemic and that if they hadn't culled those chickens, even more would have died. Of course, like many Republicans, you have no idea how viruses and diseases work, whether on children or chickens.

I could easily point by point deflate every silly bit of Twitter-based misinformation you regurgitate here, but I've got other things to do. I'll settle for one more:

prices on most things are coming down and once again the democrat party is convincing their dumb masses that the sky is falling down, and it's all because of Trump.

Why has the rate of inflation gone up under Trump? And why are millions of Americans looking at their bank statements and grocery bills each week and realizing that it's getting tougher and tougher to stay afloat? Did Democrats somehow manipulate their bank balances to fool them into thinking they were in worse shape than they are?

IIRC the supply chain got fucked up during Covid, and that was in 2020, which was Trump.

It’s really odd how Trumpers forget that Trump was president in 2000

I could easily point by point deflate every silly bit of Twitter-based misinformation you regurgitate here

My God. Pretty much everything you have called 'Twitter based misinformation' in the past has been shown to be true. When are you going to re-evaluate your beliefs?

Just off the top of my head:
-Hunter Biden's Laptop. 51 biased swamp 'experts' swaying the election.
-Non-Effectiveness of covid vaccines
-Arctic Frost. Trump was spied on and lawfare was planned and coordinated by the feds
-There was never any Russian Collusion
-Fani Willis' bullshit prosecutions
-Biden's mental condition
-Which party caused the recent government shutdown?
-Fulton County's fraudulent and illegal election processes in 2020 (and probably in 2022) (see last GA SEB meeting. You won't see it reported in the Urinal Constipation. The AJC 'journalist' was doing his best to not pay attention during the most important case of the day)

Why do you put so much faith in sources that have so blatantly lied to you so often?

Here's more lies that they've been telling you finally falling apart.

This case has been being withheld from the State Election Board since 2022 by our wonderful SOS office. Now that the RINO who was appointed chairman of the SEB has decided to hide somewhere because he was caught red-handed in sabotaging another very important case, the SEB is finally getting to see and prioritize the cases that it hears.

As I have told you ad infinitum, there are REAMS of evidence of at least malfeasance and most likely outright fraud in the 2020 Fulton County election results. It is only through legal finagling and behind the scenes sabotage that this evidence is allowed to be ignored. This case, which the Fulton County Attorney did not dispute and admitted to, has been referred to the AG (who is a Kemp puppet and will probably not do anything) with the recommendation of a $5000 fine for each occurence, which comes to $670,000 for you lucky people in Fulton County. It will come out of your taxes. But it has also been referred to the DOJ. I pray they do something about this travesty and for God's sake, at long last hold SOMEONE accountable.

To attempt to add to the discussion, I do think it shows a particular dynamic in the country right now

Liberals do like to talk about how great they are, doing things like changing the font so people with reading disorders can read better. Such a change would cost money. But also, more people can read these statements.

MAGA shitheads, otoh, make these changes “to own the libs” - nothing more, nothing less. It’s the same dynamic with deadnaming Rachel Levine.

If I had to be stuck with one of these two groups, I know with which group I would rather be.

Weyoun's nurse.

I heard that this granny has made quite a bit of money from the Christian GoFundMe - but not as much as that Cinnabon cunt (who has a rap sheet) who said all those awful things to the Somalis.

Just goes to show: being a bigot is awfully popular and awfully profitable among the MAGAcretin crowd.

Calibri has been the font since when?

When was this change made because I don't recall there not being some more pressing crisis than the State Department's font use.

It was changed to Calibri to make the text more readable for people with various visual impairments.

It was changed back because accessibility is apparently woke or something.

It's all politics and another reach by both parties to have something to complain about. But I especially like the paragraph in this article:

“The switch was promised to mitigate accessibility issues for individuals with disabilities,” the cable said, asserting that it did not achieve that goal and had cost the department $145,000 but did not offer any evidence.

This is what the MSM* has been doing for a long time now: (NO EVIDENCE). OK, where's their indisputable physical, reproducable evidence that it somehow helped those with disabilities? Where is their figure for how much it cost to move to Calibri in 2023? I guess, like always, we just have to take their word for it because their reporter just KNOWS, huh? Um, A LITTLE BIAS PERHAPS?

Spoiler

For SSS's dictionary project: MSM = Main Stream Media: A conglomerate of outdated, very bloated and intractable media sources that think they are the gospel on any subject, but are populated by 90% left-leaning personnel and self-declared "experts". They have a well-documented track record of bias and collusion favoring the democrat party and the Washington DC bureaucratic Swamp. And they unashamedly hate Donald J Trump since he became a politician. Before that time, he was one of their darlings. Footnotes and citations on request at market prices.

Calibri was developed by Microsoft in 2007 specifically to aid people with dyslexia. Since then, it has been the default font for Word. Back in 2007, there was no discussion anywhere about "wokeness" or "DEI." Microsoft developed the font and made it the default because their research determined documents typed in Calibri would be easier for most people to use, and their goal with Word was to create the most user-friendly product possible. So, from a purely practical standpoint, if you start typing a document in Word without monkeying around with font selections, you're using Calibri. If you want to switch to Times New Roman, you have to consciously make the time-consuming change on every document you type.

Using readily available resources, I can't find any scientific or medical evidence that Calibri is a superior font. I am sure that our resident M.D. can find such evidence easier than I can. However, I have found literally dozens of websites that list various dyslexia-friendly typefaces, and Calibri always appears. Several of those websites cater to persons with disabilities.

I personally use Times New Roman for my drafts because I'm the only one reading them, even if I have to make the switch. My emails are all in Arial, as I've made that my default email font. I use a large enough default font size so people won't have trouble reading my emails. (If you send emails over the phone, which I don't, they appear in Calibri unless you make a change.). This Bored uses a sans serif font both to type in messages and to read them. When I set up my website, I used a font called Droid Sans because it seemed to look better and cleaner to me and I wanted something people could read easily, even on a smartphone. The State Department's official website uses a Serif font for headlines and a sans serif font for subheads and body text. So does www.whitehouse.gov (they appear to be the same fonts as the SOS website).

So unless you feel that Trump and Rubio are being woke, the use of Calibri and similar sans serif fonts on government websites and elsewhere would appear to be a matter of maximum readability instead of some vague DEI nonsense.
