VSCode with VsVim or whatever plugin. It has the combination I like. Multi-cursor fills in most of the gaps I don't like.

I've tried Neovim variants a few times. I usually get stuck at something and don't have the time to figure it out. I need to take that time to learn everything and get it right but I get tired.

Compatibility is one thing and a heck of a important one.

The software and interface is great too. It's not perfect at all. However, the fact that the power button suspends and resumes my games and I can just select from a menu and stuff. It's a big deal. Like, I'm a programmer but I get tired at the end of a work day and just want to play some games without fiddling too much sometimes.

I bought so many indie games over the years that I felt like was not enough for my desktop. I know that sounds stupid but I'd want to play high end games on my desktop or maybe mouse and keyboard games rather than any controller.

After getting a steam deck I plowed through that list and they were amazing. I got the dock and have a controller too.

I loved my Switch but I gave that to my nephews ... The Steam Deck requires a bit more configuration which makes it perfect for me.

I was planning three trips to the states. San Francisco, New Jersey and LA to see friends at various points in the year.

I've cancelled them all. I told my friends that I would meet them on neutral or friendly ground but not a single bit of my money will be spent going there.

It absolutely can happen anywhere and that's the "The Wave" movie was about.

So ... when are they going back to legalising child marriage and removing divorce?

What does it matter? He's doing their bidding regardless.

Oh really? That's new (to me) I didn't know that! Cheers!

I think it's cronyism more but it could be nepotism too.

Something Jesus would do, I bet. /s

Where are all the All Lives Matter crowd? Peoples lives are just nothing to them.

The right produces more outrage fodder and instead of dismissing it and getting on with the actual news (what they're trying to distract us from) they indulge it and talk about it with 4-10 panelists.

It's hard sometimes to know if it's malicious or incompetence. I think it started with incompetence because it was more profitable to be lazy and it's just malicious now ... as apparently almost every major news outlet is owned by a billionaire.

I went to school in the UK. We had to learn a whole lot shittiness that we did in the past. It's sort of funny because I'm ethnically Chinese and I moved to Canada later on. Whenever something bad that the British did came up, I would always be made fun of.

I moved back to the UK from Canada again at a later date and we were watching a video about more bad stuff the British did as apart of our curriculum and I immediately felt flush with embarrassment. Then I remembered that everyone around me was British too.

I sometimes wonder if the Americans that chastise the Chinese for wiping out history like Tiananmen Square are those that advocate for wiping out Black History Month and wanting to wipe contribution from minorities on their websites right now.

To be clear, I think that Black History Month should just be apart of American history. Like integrated into the curriculum and books and stuff. However, you can't trust Republicans to just wipe it out entirely. They "say" they will and just never get around to doing it properly because Heaven forbid you feel a bit uncomfortable while learning things.

Here's Louis CK's joke on it: https://youtu.be/r6x3e8MurQY?t=72

Yes, I know he's cancelled and all that but I don't know I still love his comedy. Like ... I cut out a lot of comics like Joe Rogan (just kidding, he's barely a comedian) so I dunno I just remembered this joke.

I know you were using hyperbole with 100 years of R&D and progress so for fun I wanted to know how old the modern car is and wikipedia said: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_automobile#%3A%7E%3Atext=Benz+was+granted+a+patent%2Cwas+capable+of+extended+travel. 1886.

So like, 139 years of automotive history and being 100 years behind would really suck lol.

In all seriousness, you raise very real points and links to globalisation and Pierre Trudeau's analogy of sleeping with an elephant has never been more real. I'm not gonna lie, I'm worried.

I'm Canadian/British and when I visited friends in Vienna we got drunk like every day. Anyways, one of those days there a beer festival and all of us had this one beer and we were like: this is obviously our favourite and we'd like to buy lots of it. They said, sorry you can't buy it here, it was from BC. We were so upset, we were like "why did you even show up if you're gonna just torment us like this!" Man, I really wish I wasn't so drunk that I forgot the beer name. I swear I asked the nice person like five times and telling myself I'd remember, lol.

I was living in London, UK for a long while and wasn't planning on going back to Canada any time soon which is why I couldn't just smugly taunt my friends.

Let's not forget the one thing that remained inside: hope.

Although there's multiple interpretations to this meaning. I want to be an optimist.
