The anti-aliasing there indicates the O and Q are the full pixel in height and the F, T are a half pixel in height.

Thank you Democratic campaign, and media for finally starting to call out the Trump campaign when they make 2 conflicting statements in the same month. Trump's popularity comes from people selectively hearing what they want to hear.

If I wear boots, sneakers, sandals, hiking shoes sometimes I wonder if it will be enough to throw it off? How distinctly will it be able to tell from millions of gait patterns? Sure it may work foolproof for a set of 100 even intentionally trying to vary things, but how similar will the gait of Roberto Ramirez be to himself the next week or to the hundreds of thousands of people going past an area over a year?

I think all Hispanic Americans have to bring a translated "Projeto 2025" in front of the people in Florida. Some xenophobic Cubans in Miami want to pull up the ladder behind them. In the report, there is a focus on de-naturalization if they detect fraud (p. 144). Chances are they will twist it to prosecute people with certain skin colours in particular and MAGA doesn't care if you had left your country of birth 40 years ago or yesterday. It also mentions de-prioritize processing speed of even legitimate cases held by their friends and family (p.144).

"Weird." That's a perfectly succinct word to make anyone stop, actually reflect on what Trump and his cult are saying and asking themselves whether this is really what they want from their next leader.

It's not specifically charged at a specific physical characteristic of trump, Democrats dishing out a low blow for once yet unlike all of Trump's low blows.

Optimistic take: If Democrats could have just a single word be a silver bullet, "Weird" would be it. (No offense to weird Al, he's great and he can keep his weirdness)

Think about the next time Uncle Jack at the dinner table goes off on immigrants taking the jobs, America is a 3rd world country, we should ban books, ban calling people what they want to be called, climate change is a hoax, how terrible DEI wokeness is, making fun of Kamala etc., when no amount of arguing policy or morality is going to convince him otherwise. Just responding with "Weird.", might shut him up and make everyone at the table reflect.

It is very depressing, yes. But a candidate that is 10/10 on every possible good measure that loses to Trump due to Democratic infighting, will be a worse outcome to someone that is mediocre in some respects but can win. It is the most important hurdle, and at the very least I can say the Democrats have some semblance of a strategy now that they didn't have before, and that's reason for hope.

r/metaCanada was super right wing, honestly I think r/Canada had some of the same tendencies and moderation, making them right wing, them being a default canada sub is silly to me, but I'm not on reddit anymore so whatever. r/Onguardforthee was Canada's more leftwing subreddit, closer to Lemmy's [email protected]

In real life Canada, provinces of BC, ON, QC and some of the maritimes lean left generally, SK, AB lean right (like the Montana and Texas of Canada). Cities lean a lot more left but outlying suburbs tend to lean right.

Toronto and Vancouver have let in lots and lots of immigrants and refugees (about the same as the US despite being 1/10th the size), which is great but it does put pressure on housing, wages and other supports. The problems are more a failure of housing policy and use of Temporary Foreign Worker plan to intentionally pay Canadians less, than it is the fault of the immigrants.

We are culturally diverse, yet there are some voices from people including those who are first or second generation immigrants that oppose immigration (pulling up the ladder behind them). Now there are some aspects of foreign culture I don't wish to import that immigrants will need to discard (caste discrimination for example) but in other respects, diversity is our strength and it's what makes us Canada. Not the colour of our skin.

I can help answer this for you. Yes you have power tripping mods on a small handful of servers or communities, but this is where the solution comes in. If you feel it's not justified, you can join another server that fits your vibe better, or create a community on another server. [email protected] to [email protected] is one of the biggest examples of a mass community migration.

Welcome welcome! There are a lot of apps to choose from, check out here: https://www.lemmyapps.com/

Jerboa is my choice, but what you settle on depends on what features you want.

 

Chapter 19 of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 edition of Mandate for Leadership (Direct PDF link) is full of policies that would be terrible for the US.

Highlights:

  • Replace national transportation infrastructure projects with a flat transportation subsidy formula to each state (most of whose DoTs don't know how to do anything with money other than build highways)
  • Stop funding mass transit, give public funds to Rideshare companies like Uber/lyft instead.
  • Preserve single family home zoning at all costs. Each state and city knows what is best for their people, better than the federal government, except when states and cities do something that conservatives don't like.
  • Screw California in particular.
  • Trying to reduce the number of traffic fatalities is bad if anyone dare suggests that we have to drive a little bit slower.
