    Did someone not realize that the whole plan was to make sure his farm would wind up owned by a private equity firm? Sad face.

      Farmers often could be considered petit bourgeoisit, if that helps explain how they vote. They own a shitload more land than any of us could afford.

    ‘I Voted for Trump and Now I’m Going Bankrupt’

    But you’re getting the giant ballroom, a war with Venezuela, and they’re finally getting rid of Callibri font.

    You losing your entire way of life was a small price to pay for such benefits.

    Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

        Marco Rubio bans Calibri font at State Department for being too DEI

          I am also picky about what fonts I use, but only those that I use.

          My requirements are

          1. Monospace (every character has same width)
          2. 1 !~= l and 0 !~= O and l !~= I (read “!~=” as “isn’t similar to”)

          I usually use Liberation Mono, Adwaita Mono and Source Code Pro. I also really like Terminess Nerd Mono, but it only looks good if line width equals to 1 pixel. It’s really only meant for fixed resolution.


          Well, Terminess isn’t doing so well with 1 and l.

          Mouse pointer… eh, anyway.

        Apparently calibri is too woke, so they’re reverting to using times new roman for government documents

          I first learned how to use computers when Times New Roman was the default font in Word, but I’m not a stunted fuckup with daddy issues so I guess Calibri never bothered me.

          But Mark my words, the Conservative of tomorrow will be working fervorously to return to the glory days of when Calibri was their default font, because Conservatives always yearn to return to the days of their youth, when the world wasn’t so big and scawey.
