    My professor was always trying to get us to use vim or eMacs over an IDE to write our C programs. I’m sorry, I like using a mouse. I know, I know, blasphemy. I’m taking a shortcut. I’m a noob.

    When I absolutely have to, I go for vim, mostly because I know a few of the key bindings for it, but otherwise avoid it.




  • Women are better at being friends to each other. I’ve basically given up on trying to make friends with other men because they are terrible friends. At best, they make no effort at all at friendship and are completely passive, requiring you to call and make all the plans. At worst, they are hostile in various ways when you try to befriend them. It is very rare to meet another dude that makes effort to be a friend.

    Edit: it’s soooo funny to see this comment being downvoted because it will only perpetuate your loneliness. You deserve it.


  • I’m one. As a Mac user, I haven’t used windows in years, and avoid it like the plague. But, the limited games support meant I had to rely on consoles to get my gaming fix. With Steam’s strong support for Linux, I decided to build a gaming PC for Linux only. It’s been great. I just wish more publishers would support it — the ones adding kernel-level anti-cheat are ruining things, but I’m hoping if enough people switch to Linux, they won’t be able to ignore us.





  • A lot of TnC’s have opt out forced arbitration. I do often read the TnC’s and follow the steps to opt out. It’s often as tedious as possible, like writing a letter, printing, and mailing it. Really depends though on whether it is some service I think I’ll be using often and that could have big negatives from not opting out like my bank account.








  • God parents are supposed to care for the children, if the parents die. I think you shouldn’t overthink it. If you’re willing to fill that role, then raise the kids however you think is best. Accept the role gracefully as it is an honor and your sister is showing she loves and trusts you. Leave it at that.

    As atheists, we have to acknowledge that most of the world isn’t yet on our level of thinking, but also that we don’t really have similar “concepts” for religious traditions that serve certain societal needs. God parents do serve a societal function. As an atheist, I can acknowledge that, accept that role, and play the part for those I love.

    I read some article about how subway franchise owners HATED $5 footlong because it was making them go broke. You could tell if you went in there by how aggressively they pushed the cookie on you.

    Just the sandwich? You don’t want a cookie? Come on buy a cookie! How about a soda?
