My stint as a newspaper editor in college keyed me in on fucking with the character spacing. It would often just push sentences onto a new line, or pull them back onto the previous line (I had a couple of professors with page maximums, not minimums). As a bonus, you have to click into the "paragraph" menu from the right click context menu, it isn't displayed in the toolbar like line spacing, so you can pretty reliably bet nobody's gonna go check that if you're not too blatant about it. For printed submissions I'd also do shit like 1.1/0.9 line spacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my "trick" in high school when writing reports was a 12.5 font and 1.1 spacing. You turn that four and a half page report MAGICALLY into a 5 page report! EDIT: As to why I do two spaces after a period: That's how I was taught in 8th grade typing class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah the secret is to make the punctuation size 14 while making the font size 12. Or, just put a paragraph at the end but change it to white font to increase the word count. Not things I’ve done btw.

Chairslinger Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Judge Amy Berman Jackson's quote deserves more airtime than it gets whenever someone uses that ridiculous "You can't obstruct without an underlying crime" defense.

This is without question the best: https://www.lawfareblog.com/what-mueller-found-russia-and-obstruction-first-analysis Good read. Some notable excerpts.... Quote This report shows that the Trump campaign was reasonably aware of the Russian efforts, at least on the hacking side. They were aware the Russians sought to help them win. They welcomed that assistance. Instead of warning the American public, they instead devised a public relations and campaign strategy that sought to capitalize on Russia’s illicit assistance. In other words, the Russians and the Trump campaign shared a common goal, and each side worked to achieve that goal with basic knowledge of the other side’s intention. They just didn’t agree to work together toward that goal together. Quote This is not, in short, a circumstance in which Mueller summed up all the evidence for obstruction and all the evidence against it and just couldn’t make up his mind—or decided to defer to the attorney general for judgment. Mueller’s decision not to reach a traditional prosecutorial judgment in no sense indicates that the evidence of possible obstruction by the president was weak—“No Collusion, No Obstruction,” as the president tweeted. To the contrary, the more time one spends with the obstruction section of the report, the more it suggests that the Mueller team believed the evidence of obstruction to be very strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Also, I'm happy to see most of the news media is not going along with the Trump/Barr spin. From CBS: "Pres. Trump insists he was exonerated by the investigation. But the report specifically declines to clear him on possible charges of obstruction of justice."
