Ah sorry, I meant using Vim in a GUI program. I wanted something with the flexibility of a mouse (quick navigation, context menu actions, etc.) without using a mouse. Using just the arrow keys, shift highlighting, etc. is just too slow when writing lots of text, and it doesn’t follow the natural position of typing.

I actually use VIM bindings in PyCharm, slightly cursed but actually works really well and meshes fairly nicely with the other IDE shortcuts. Being able to use it in any terminal is a nice bonus.

I honestly learned it just because I hated having to change hand position to use a mouse.

“Even though the scene feels nice for future bridal couples, we can’t disregard what it symbolises: a father handing over a minor virgin to her new guardian.”

This seems like a silly thing to get hung up on when the bride isn’t a minor (and perhaps not a woman) and can choose who they walk down the aisle with. The article even mentions that some choose to walk with their mother, and likely there are others who walk with other important friends or family members. I’ve never cared too much about wedding ceremonies, but I know that walking down the aisle can be a really important and symbolic thing for the bride and the person they walk with. Seems like taking that choice away is more restrictive to women than, you know, letting the woman decide for herself.

Yeah, if someone at the table wants certain attributes for their character, the DM should not allow others to mess with that without very good reason. This guy being a dick about it? He can find another table.

Oh man! Excited for this, never played the original but played a lot of Croc 2 growing up.

I dunno if scaring people off of their instance’s communities is a deliberate attempt at building an echo chamber or just genuine dumbassery.

Honestly thank god the Lemmy devs made a platform that makes it so easy to avoid them.

The Wayback Machine shows it was missing at one point.

Hard to say why exactly it was hidden, but it’s a bad look for sure.

I think that’s a little too simplistic. I definitely agree that “we can’t show you the evidence of why we made this decision but trust us” isn’t going to instill confidence in the community, but it’s not like the steering council is some unrelated board of executives. They’re all core developers, theoretically chosen for their dedication and contributions to Python as a whole, and it seems their granted power has made them anxious about showing favoritism among the most seasoned at the expense of upholding the community guidelines that keep the Python community a positive and welcoming place.

I think a flawed decision was made, or at least the way it was presented was flawed, and that should be considered for the next election. Maybe the council does need to be totally overhauled, that’s a valid position. But this is their work, too, and imply they have no skin in the game is disingenuous.

To be honest I still chalk it up to that.

“Why don’t you donate that money?”

“Why don’t you?”

You know, when I read The Handmaid’s Tale back in high school, I didn’t think the ending made any sense. How do you have tourists just walking around taking pictures when there’s horrible human rights violations happening in plain sight?

I think I get it now.

Honestly the accounts of the woman who visited almost bother me more than the men. Even as a tourist she wasn’t allowed to do certain things, but she can just leave whenever she wants. Wonder how her friends among the locals feel about that.

I avoided it for a while because it felt so clunky, but it has really improved in the last decade.

To be fair, there’s some stuff that was bred into the gene pool near the inception of the breed that can’t be easily removed now. You can reduce the risk by avoiding incest and thorough genetic testing where possible, but there’s some health issues that would plague purebreds for a long time even if every breeder in the world was responsible.

Weren’t we supposed to die from our contaminated blood a couple years ago? Wonder when that’ll come around…

Either this person has never had to deal with parvo, or they have and don’t give a shit about their dogs.

Or they’re just lying b because no reputable groomer, kennel, or vet would see them without at least rabies, parvo, and kennel cough vaccines.

Lol as if these generations are doing anything different than they were doing before. Kids have always lied about their age to do adult things. Not saying it’s healthy, just like it wasn’t healthy for kids to get their older brother to buy cigs, but it’s not a unique problem and these generations are far from a “lost cause”.

As unenforcable as they’ve always been, and honestly I prefer it that way. Really don’t want to give my ID to random websites.

I’d like to add that a lot of these people work in the oil or coal industry or have family members who do. The work, as dangerous and comparatively ill paying as it may be, may be the only thing that puts their town on the map and keeps food on the table. Not seeing a way out for those who can’t or won’t be retained for another job can be pretty scary, a fear that is very much preyed a upon by conservatives.

It’s insane to me that they would try to pull this shit and then try to sell us on the evils of piracy.
