Same difference.
Did you know that Comic Sans and similar fonts are easier for dyslexics to read than standard fonts? The higher degree of asymmetrical characters helps. This discovery led to the development of fonts specifically meant to be easier to read by dyslexics such as dyslexie.
I learned about this because one of my college roommates is severely dyslexic, but absolutely brilliant (he would memorize everything he read because it was easier for him to remember everything than to have to read it again).
Comic Sans looks awful, but it is not all bad.
Remembering everything because they don't want to read again is motto I wish I had
My dad was drafted into Vietnam and disabled as a result. He passed away over 10 years ago as a result of Agent Orange exposure.
I would give anything to be able to ask him how he feels about my mom, his wife of over 30 years, being a Trump supporter.
It blows my fucking mind.
I support the conscientious objectors who managed to get out of serving in Vietnam. In fact I feel relieved for them - and immense empathy and sorrow for people who did go, whether drafted or volunteering thinking it would be an honorable way to serve. If you read some Tim O'Brien it can help to paint the no-win picture that was that horrific war. Support your vets and also policies that minimize wars.
And also veterans’ healthcare (like Jon Stewart).
I don't think I'd thank anyone from the Vietnam War. At best I'd say, glad you came back alive. I'd most likely say nothing though.
Understood.
They dislike the empty platitudes of "thank you for your service," regardless. Say something original, if you support the armed forces. Which I don't, but maybe you do.
I asked him how many civilians he killed but he ignored me
Not as many as any president!
