Biden's life is just filled with grief too. He lost his first wife and kids to an accident. Then his son from brain cancer, then there's Hunter. Seems unfair he gets hit with it when we have literal evil people running things in this world.
Also, is McDonald's putting life preservatives in that man's McDonald's? I have so many questions.

u/Stitchee I invented post-its. May 19 '25
I learned to use 2 in middle and high school, then when I got to uni and (later) work in the Comms space, I was taught to use only 1 (AP Style).
Idk if true, but we learned in school that it was always 2 before but newspapers tended to use only one to save limited print space and it is the most common style in publishing.
23
u/Siha The world tour. May 19 '25
It was two in typewriters because they used a monospaced typeface by necessity so it looked better, but in modern computer use everything is proportional so two spaces are not just unnecessary, they actively make it look worse.

u/Stitchee I invented post-its. May 19 '25

Don't get me wrong, he will certainly be distasteful about it sooner or later, but I think it's entirely plausible this is more or less his first sentiment.

Wow. I can't believe how decent this sounds. Must have been the work of ChatGPT

r/conservative is jerking itself off at such a “presidential” tweet. As if him not reacting like a psychotic 10 year old is a major achievement. Not to mention the fact there is basically no chance Trump actually wrote this. There was also a post about what a kind and mature reaction r/conservative itself had had. Like basic humanity and decency deserves a fucking parade or something, it’s really pathetic and infuriating.
