I use Notepad++ as my main editor anyways. It seems less distracting to me than VSCode.
Fair. It's definitely got a lot of other bad things going on as well.
I said "I don't think it's good for Russia to be able to keep doing what they're doing"
I don't know how you could interpret that as simping for the Russian invasion.
I'm just not going along with the "This helps Russia therefore it is totally bad" knee-jerk. A tool that helps bad people could also help good people. And it probably does, because US sanctions are definitely on the wrong side a lot of the time (although I think they are on the right side regarding Russia's invasion).
I'm sort of torn on whether it's a good thing that this is possible.
Like, I don't think it's good for Russia to be able to keep doing what they're doing, but US sanctions are also often used for evil (IMO) so in those cases the existence of methods to evade them could be good.
It'd be nice if the sanctions were only used in good ways in the first place, but that's not currently the reality.
There were a lot of episodes like that in Doctor Who. Basically every season from when I was watching, if I recall correctly. The weeping angels first appeared in one of those, and then because that episode was so popular they shoved them into a bunch of big budget ones after that.
I didn't watch The Game Awards myself, I mostly just know what I've heard about it being more of an industry advertising event rather than a real awards ceremony. And from what I've seen of this year's they aired an obvious AI art trailer and they snubbed ZZZ for the music category, so they're just reinforcing my lack of respect for them.
He probably likes how the US is similar to the Roman Empire in being imperialist.
It's hard to tell which of my memory issues are from ADHD and which are from other neurodivergences.
One of my friends had this take on it:
Die Hard can't be a Christmas movie because Die Hard is actually good.
I'm autistic as well, although I was not diagnosed with it as a kid (they only diagnosed me with a "learning disability" rather than the complicated soup of neurodivergences I have).
I've been lucky to not have to mask much in my life (although I do some, for sure). It's a tragedy that most autistic kids are treated worse than I was. I think they all deserve better.
I'm all in favor of shitting on UHC, but ABA for autism is rather problematic, so they're actually on the same page as the autism community on this one.
EDIT: For those unfamiliar with it, it's basically the autism equivalent of gay conversion therapy, trying to convert autistic children to neurotypical behavior. It's not good for the autistic person's own mental health.
I don't think this is true. A lot of the people who voted for Trump in the election are simply disillusioned with the status quo, and rightly so. They don't know enough to know which changes would help, but when only one side promised change, they went with that side.
Trump's victory was assured not by an overwhelming amount of fascist voters, but by an overwhelming amount of unhappy voters combined with Democrats' utter failure to challenge the system that made them unhappy.
