Easymotion is the only plugin I need to be happy.

Jimmy may be a dick, but it’s nonsense to say he’s factually wrong. Impure sodium chloride is still sodium chloride.

Keep deepthroating that boot.

How does that make the great firewall a good thing?

“the ability to control information flow”

Yay! What a feature! Tell me what I’m allowed to know, O lord.

To push the absurd narrative that these were essentially scuba tanks for underwater swimming and not flotation devices.

Not going to get many clicks with a real image.

Plus, have people never tried to push floaties or balloons underwater? It’s not even a matter of strength, you can’t really fight buoyancy. Even a large heavy adult would only be able to force a very small air bladder under long enough to actually swim.

Contributing to open source is a big one. Purely personal projects are good, but I’ve found way more people are interested in open source work because it’s ‘more real’ and it shows you can work as part of an organization.

If you aren’t cringing at your past at all, then you aren’t growing.

There’s plenty of great stuff in there; I especially recommend filtering for dead hardware.

I just the other day edited a Steam config file with some wacky file extension by cracking it open in notepad. Bless plain text.

Just because competition can be suppressed temporarily within a discrete system doesn’t mean it has ceased to exist. Exactly why ideologies that demand the absence of competition will eventually be outcompeted from the outside.

The health of the current system is undenianly declining, absolutely. But competition is eternal and non-optional, so systems that seek to eliminate it are intrinsically doomed.

Well, competition has been going pretty strong for the last four billion years; time will tell.

Yes, exactly! For all the noxious effects of greed, it drives competition which drives evolution.

Even if a utopian communist/anarchist society were able to stabilize on its own, it would inevitably be overcome at some point in the future by a more competitive society that had martially evolved beyond the utopia’s understanding.

Whether its right or wrong has no bearing on the entropy of it.

What a goofy take. “Having trouble with self control? Have you tried having self control?” Obviously there’s something more going on or life would be a whole lot simpler. Sometimes externalizing a decision through a tool like a timer is part of how a person indirectly exerts self control.

A bit off-topic, but a completely understandable theology. I personally don’t find it meaningful to speculate about what god ‘knows’, since god is beyond all things.

In any case I’m glad you understand why believers tend to look before they cross the road.

Believers still understand intuitively just as you do that people who don’t look before they cross tend to get hit more often. Whether you call it “god’s will” or “just the way things are” has no bearing on the fact that it is prudent to look before you leap.

Your argument applies equally to non-believers. If a freak accident might kill you despite your best efforts, why bother trying to protect yourself at all?

The reason your argument is fallacious is also the same whether you believe in god or not: the future isn’t knowable.

The vast majority of believers believe god’s plan includes free will. God may know the future, but we can certainly agree that we do not.

By the logic you seem to be presenting, why would believers take any action whatsoever?
