Chesterton’s fence is mentioned several times here and it’s a good heuristic to avoid the issue. The issue is called the Preparedness Paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preparedness_paradox

Time to consult the Geneva Checklist

Thank you for this generous-minded clarification.

Aw they shut down the suicide coaster!

Rare case where I hope it’s AI because I want that not to be real

He isn’t being stalked if he doesn’t know

OK, I’ll bite. What’s Gal Godot good in?

That will be so hilarious if they Streisand Effect themselves out of power

What a complete gentleman. Just chilling out in the open, no ulterior motives, sits still for his fitting appointment.

I choose to believe he donned a little top hat and walked out quietly

Fair.

Arguably they’re sort of converging with all the nvim stuff out there. I said vi to be cute but I actually use LazyVim

Well, turns out people in different generations, while they may on the whole share various traits, are in fact individuals with different life experiences, temperaments, and attitudes.

That said I am seeing my own Gen-X peers turning “boomer”: entitled assholes who also attempt to turn the abuse and neglect we survived into virtues. I think a lot of this is completely literal survivor bias, but also “survivors” in terms of who gets seen and heard.

Well, in a rare bit of good news, the cops did arrest the fascists, and impounded their two cars. Not disagreeing with you, just a note of hope in this shitshow

Vi/Emacs, and get off my lawn

Two others I mourn the death of, as in, it’s more often done wrongly than not, at least on the Internet:

“Led” as the past tense of “lead”: I basically never see it any more. People just use “lead” for the past tense; and

Singular “die.” People just use “dice” for both plural and singular. Though I occasionally see plural “die.” I hate this.

Seconding this one! It’s very underappreciated and so wonderfully atmospheric. Also one of the most banger title sequences of all time

Goddamnit autocorrect. Fixed

This implies the existence of public hair above the neck and I am feeling concerned

Come fucking on. We know why. So they can use up workers like fucking snot rags. That’s why. Because they are monsters in service of monsters.
