Man, I never expected the Onion to be optimistic.
But will she enable the option to create bookmarks from word headings? Surely no one ready for that.
Guys Kamala is 60 and a career politician. I don’t think this is a given.
My HR manager is also 60 and routinely publishes the company newsletter as a .docx.
Nothing is a given in this life.
Also the new intern might not be able to do this either. There’s a surprisingly narrow age range where this skill set is expected
Give me somebody who uses markdown with pandoc and I’ll be impressed.
Or emacs with org-mode.
We’re fast approaching that golden age where every president comes standard with PDF creation skills.
they gotta dtop being 80 for that tho otherwise it’ll take another 20 years or so
Not with their average ages creeping up. It’s the same generation of of people over and over.
I dunno, mobile devices aren’t “computers”, and Gen-X gets ignored so hard it’ll likely be skipped right over, and we’ll jump immediately into Idiocracy (it’s what plants crave).
Although I bet Pete Buttigieg knows how:-).
Harris’ birthdate is October 20th 1964, she’s pretty much Gen X, having had to deal with the 80s crap as a teenager/young adult, hell, 1965 is the first year for Gen X
Usually the cusp of Gen-X is 1965, so even she is Boomer/Gen-X
Thank you for bringing this knowledge into my life:-).
I’m pretty sure you can just select pdf when saving the file in word.
Edit: lol wasn’t really commenting on the politics of this post, just being pedantic about word processing software. Please don’t read any political meaning into my statement lmao.
Correct, since like Office 2007, it is literally a built in file format from the Save As menu.
I believe the point is that deep in this digital age the only President that’s actually used a computer before was Obama (probably).
One candidate is 78 years old, types in all-caps, and forgets what he was saying halfway through a sentence. For my money, I think it’s a fair bet that the difference between a PDF and a native MS Word file eludes them.
On second thoughts...
Come to think of it, a regular client of Epstein’s teenage human trafficking ring probably know more about ‘PDF files’ (ahem) than most of us.
Right, but keep in mind how low the bar is for politicians. They have people for this.
Are we sure this isn’t the first presidential election where a candidate even knows what a pdf is?
“What’s word?”
Obama, Carter, and (somehow) Teddy Roosevelt
To be fair, Teddy only managed to convert to PDF by sheer gumption. No matter how many clippies he faced, he never gave up, never crashed his Word, and always disabled OneDrive before anything else.
For sure Obama could convert a Word doc no problem. Hell,
CheneyBush Jr. probably could’ve as well.With his youthful, tech-savvy vibe, many assumed that Barack Obama knew this stuff. But when pressed about how to convert file types, he responded, “What do I look like, some kinda fuckin’ nerd?” His honesty was refreshing. After all, converting a file shouldn’t be the president’s job. That is what interns are for. (Recent surveys show 90% of interns’ work hours are spent combining, condensing, and converting documents in a way that doesn’t crash the aging government servers.)
He does not, in fact, look like some kinda fuckin’ nerd.
I mean… kinda (a hot one:-)?
Edit: receipt:
Conclusion: nerds rule, conservatives drool 🤤!
Next up: tables of data in CSV, then XML, and finally JSON formats, oh the humanity!
ASN.1 pls
Oh dear lord… please save me from the monsters underneath my bed, and from ASN.1 everywhere it may invade.
Unless we get one that can skibbidi the yeet instead.
No cap fr. Well, yolo fam, so y not?

Okay, but is America ready for a president who is a PDF file?
SORCERY
