Bunch of ragged trousered philanthropists

Or god forbid, a person of colour. Clearly the US isn’t “ready” for that.

/s but also not /s idk honestly, it depends

How do you like it? I tried it a few years ago, but my vim muscular memory made it feel as uncomfortable as learning vim for the first time.

Just get used to

• using movement (hjkl),
• going between insert and normal modes (i and esc),
• undoing (u from normal mode),
• and saving (:w and :wq).

Don’t try to do it all at first, just get comfortable with the essentials. You can even just stay in insert mode (the only mode in most editors) at first.

Keep a vim basics cheat sheet handy for a couple weeks as you’re building in muscle memory, then slowly work in more advanced techniques and combinations.

It doesn’t take long before you start having a lot of fun just manipulating text.

PS here’s a decently basic cheat sheet I found:

Sounds like you’ve got a good handle on it. I would like to grow more stuff, but I can barely raise an anemic looking bushel of oregano. All brown thumbs, I’m afraid.

But does it got that cronch

I think this might be something you can reprogram. It wasn’t my intention, but I’ve been hitting the weekly market a lot more and as a result my tastes have veered naturally to fresh and vegan stuff.

I’ll still accept food with animal products on em if that’s all there is, but I recently discovered that I find meat and cheese kind of… gross? I used to eat like that every week, but now I look forward to my daily apple and like 3 o’clock chia seed pudding. It’s fucked.

I don’t know if I somehow caused this or if it’s just age, but I have been feeling pretty good.

E: sorry I just reread my comment in the context of yours and I apologise for being shitty. I think the point I was trying to make was that it’s like quitting smoking or something - at first feels like something real is missing, then later feels like a no brainer

Or after the “but” and before the “and”

So messy is good, or…

I’ve always loved a messy house. I think it’s cultural

I went through a cowboy phase as a kid, and this salutation is the only remnant. I don’t even think about it, it’s just how I’ve been greeting people for all my life.

I only really think about how it sounds when people chuckle or smile at it. It just sounds normal to me.

I had a teacher who was rumoured to make up their opinion of a student in the first two semesters, then just eyeball it from there.

I submitted my final assignment hosted on a web server and gave them the link as my submission - saving the logs to see who connected to the URL. Anyway, no one outside me connected to that web server before it was graded.

83/100 which honestly feels about exactly what it deserves. So even knowing they just skimmed the source code on most of my assignments, I never found that the grades were out of synch with how I myself would have graded them.

Oh that is a great and altogether unique suggestion, thanks!

Might be challenging to scare myself before going to the morning market, but maybe for evening hangouts

Is very likely both

Me

Has anyone managed to break out of this habit? I want to be more social, communal, but it seems to go against my natural proclivities

It’s true kitchen water tastes better than bathroom water I don’t make the rules

I’m going to go out on a limb and say you have an oral fixation rofl. No shame in it I’m the same. I’m always sipping bevs and sucking on lozenges. Had to quit vaping for my mental health, but boy did I ever used to love vaping too.

Hey I brought some of those for my diabetic aunt one holiday, and now I get them for myself all the time.

What is this Water Place 😳

Wow I can get pretty up there but you are the real beverage goblin.

I feel somewhat superior that I can say I only have a water next to me at the moment, though very often I’ll also have a morning tea, afternoon tea, or sleepy tea

For fitness running, walking and weightlifting. For creativity reading, writing, sketching. For money, software development.

I’d recommend keeping a semi regular (daily to weekly) diary above everything else. It’s been invaluable to be able to check in with myself. It’s also fun to work on your lettering.
