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 dunno, I feel like anyone drawn to Lemmy for that reason will find lemmy.ml nearly as easily. If world suffers because of bad practices, well, that's the way it goes. At least the fediverse lives on.

I mean, "bad" in this case is completely subjective. There are large trans communities on other instances (blahaj being the most obvious one) and they have their reasons for defederating from Hexbear.

Meh, that's kind of the point, no? Seems like it would be more jarring to only federate at the community level, as you either a) still have to interact with people from the unwanted instance or b) deal with randomly hidden comments from that instance. If the community dies because it's on an unpopular instance, well, that's the way it goes. Can always start up/join a community on another instance that's federated with yours.

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.

I don't understand how it fits. They're not cutting off their relationship to the protective parent (the mother), which is what the new restrictions prohibit. She still has access and custody, but they are also required to attend reunification therapy. Where is the contradiction?

It's also explained why the abuse investigation does not impact the ordered therapy.

Though the divorce judge found there was evidence that Hawkins had physically abused the oldest son, the judge said in his ruling that was “one instance that does not involve either of the two children at issue.”

The father is only seeking custody of the two youngest sons, who were, as far as the court is aware, not abused by their father. So the judge does not see this or the seven charges of abuse of a minor as relevant in this case.

I'm all for being aware of the quality and reputation of a paper, but it seems you are putting more weight on that then the quality of the article itself. You are pointing at supposed inconsistencies that seem to be explained by the article.

I mean the article explains it pretty clearly.

The new law barred courts from restricting the custody of a parent who is competent, protective and not abusive solely to improve a relationship with the other parent. It prohibits reunification treatment that is predicated on cutting off the relationship between a child and a protective parent the child has a bond with.

Putting aside the insanity of this ever being allowed, it doesn't apply in this case because custody has not been (officially) cut off. She's in jail because she objects to the therapist and her methods, believing them to cause severe anxiety in her children, and has thus tried to interfere with the court ordered sessions.

Seriously, the courts are heaping all of this blame on the mother when the kids repeatedly report physical and sexual abuse by their father.

Though the divorce judge found there was evidence that Hawkins had physically abused the oldest son, the judge said in his ruling that was “one instance that does not involve either of the two children at issue.”

Insane. The logic is nonexistent.

The "faith based therapy" thing make everything make a whole lot more sense...

Oh wow, haven't watched Beer and Board Games in a while!

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.

Getting real uncanny valley vibes from those teeth...

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

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.

Just learned a new word! Gonna find new and exciting ways to use it.

I was looking around at rental houses a few years back because the owner of our current rental was kicking us out to sell. I visited a house that the owner was "flipping" for rental and noticed there was no stove/oven. I asked the owner about it and he said "oh, tenants usually bring their own."

Place was sketchy as hell in other areas, too; tons of those cheapo plastic panel walls propped up at odd angles hiding god knows what, bare hardwood floors that had clearly had the carpet ripped up without refinishing or even removing all the staples, and slanted floors that really made me feel like I was about to fall into the basement. Luckily we were able to find another place, but it was a low CoL area and I'm sure some desperate family got stuck in that heap.
