TLDR just look at this chart: https://journals.sagepub.com/cms/10.1177/01461672231209400/asset/images/large/10.1177_01461672231209400-fig2.jpeg
The choice of paratheses make this paper so hard to read:
"We also find a negative (positive) correlation between cognitive ability and pessimistic (realistic) beliefs"
Does your city have ranked choice voting? If not, then there is where to focus. Maine already has it at the state level.
I'd recommend flipping the standard view of elections; federal elections are the least important, then state, and local are the most important.
After your state has ranked choice (e.g. if you're from Maine), then I'd say it's fair to complain about federal level choices.
Is there a way to disable it but keep ligatures?
Welp, another reason I will absolutely not be using glyph-streching or whatever Microsoft called it.
Eh I don't really buy the noticeable argument. Either it's not noticeable both ways (doesn't matter that m is squished all the time) or it's not noticeable both ways (expanding m doesn't align and it's noticeable and annoying).
Optical Illusion
~~Wait no, its the fault of the stretching! I mean yes, the i's are the same hight (which is shocking, thank you for correcting us on that) but the reason it's an optical illusion is because the i on the left is wider and wide m exaggerates the thinness of the i on the right! Turn off the stretching and suddenly the i's look the same height.~~
Edit: I see someone else already pointed this out
This is what I meant by "feeling like my editor is gaslighting me"
thanks for rendering that! and yeah that height difference is really weird. That almost seems like a bug.
Also Idk if the ='s make the m smaller or bigger.
If the streching is so small as to be unnoticable (and I agree it's pretty subtle) then I also don't really understand the benefit.
I feel like its weird this post is getting so many down votes. I mean it's not the best question, but not everyone would know that phone carriers are equally bad at privacy. Heck maybe in other countries there are some that help privacy.
Each line is the same total length but the "m" in "mi" would be wider than the m in "ma"
I like all of it, except for that awful "texture healing". Imagine having words above & below like
i=mins
w=maxs
But the m's just slightly don't line up because the top one is wider than the bottom one. I'd feel like my editor was gaslighting me 🤢
I was curious about this too and went through a few different news sources (BBC, yahoo, etc). Sadly all of them just repeated the same information.
Maybe in a few days they'll have better details.
I feel like somehow it being a robot arm with sensors/reactions makes it much more terrifying than an arm with predefined motions that operate in a loop
I'm glad to see some exposure, but I can't help but feel the message is misfocused; lMO Solarpunk is about which actions to take not just saying "yeah me and all my homies hate XZY".
Its much easier to get people to agree on an action, like right to repair, see the benefit, and then draw their own ideological conclusion. Its much more welcoming and positive than than jumping straight to "my conclusion is good, you should hate XYZ with me"
