to be fair it seems to have backslid from "May showing up to demand stuff in person" to "May sending letters to demand stuff" to "May expecting them to read her demands from other people talking about them on twitter"

The EU diplomatic corps is still willing to keep up diplomatic appearances and due courtesy even though everyone knows May started by loving up, continued loving up, and has now, finally, just really seriously hosed up, hosed everything up. That's what you call dedication to etiquette. Next begins the brutalising.

As far as I see the most important issue with brexit is the Irish border, for which there are only a few possibilities.

So why don't they put the house (or hell, the population) to a vote? 3 choices:

1) Border between Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.
2) Border between UK and Northern Ireland.
3) Remain/Customs Union/whatever you want to call it.

Because that's what it comes down to.

The way I usually do it is make everything at double size (or bigger!), then shrink it down to the size you want when you're done (using a decent resize algo, just not nearest-neighbour or it'll be all blocky) and then you can add sharpening to taste

Ornedan posted:

The text probably looks like that because you used a vector font for it and drew without antialiasing. Either use a bitmap font instead, or use antialiased text rendering with the vector font.

Also don't scale the image after you've added the text, and use highest quality scaling algorithm for the image elements you do have to scale (the face) and preferrably only scale them once straight to final size.

Thanks for these, I had another go, mostly to see if I could do a better job.



It looks a little better, I'm using a gifsicle from the terminal to resize which looks better than doing it in GIMP. I'll have to look for better resizing tools though ...

Real talk I'm honestly super worried for you guys, I can't believe things have gone this far. You're a week from actual economic disaster, like I thought the Tea Party fucks who've held our country by the balls for 8 years now were bad but even the one or two times where they threatened to drive America off a cliff to get their way it NEVER got this close to actually happening.

Then again, going off the cliff is what a not-insubstantial percentage of this psychos actually want, it's not leverage to get a different thing.

Well people like me may face shortages of the insulin we need to survive, to name just one essential medicine that a Hard Brexit may affect the supply of.

Think on that. People might die as a direct result of this.

It's not just a lack of medicine, people will be having to switch to different ones which aren't as effective or have more harmful side effects etc

Didn't he keep dissolving parliament to stop them passing the Exclusion Bill, until he gave up making new parliaments and just ruled by himself until he died?
