Apparently arguing in favour of AI art is pretty controversial, but then the anti-AI luddites are about as intractable as trump cultists, and their arguments about as valid, so fuck 'em!

Lear Welsh or French. They’re both Prescriptive languages where that is (officially) true. English, however, is a descriptive language which means the dictionary is there to record how language is used not to define how it should be used
It’s more powerful than nano, sure, but it’s also needlessly more complex a ui. Your use case is legit and that you know vi is a reason to continue using it, but it absolutely should not ever be the default for anything any more!
If I am forced to use an editor in the terminal, nano generally. But I very rarely need to because I have a functioning modern computer from within the last 25 years and therefore have a gui I can rely on. If I somehow manage to break the gui in a way that requires me to edit a text file (itself very very rare) I can fix it with nano.
Now, why would you voluntarily use an editor with a ui that’s needlessly confusing and convoluted, an arse to learn, and notoriously difficult to even save a file and close without checking help files if you haven’t already memorised completely random key combinations? I would say we’d love to know, but we already do. It’s because you’re an arrogant dickwad - at least that’s what your last comment makes you look like
Literally anything up to and including poking yourself in the eyes and trying to develop laser vision to manually modify bits on the disk platter
Because you’re used to it. No other reason
Okay… because you refuse to actually look at whether there are better options than the absolute trash you are using because you are used to it
Because you want to get out of your Stockholm syndrome?
Ugh, I swear vi and it’s derivatives are the absolute worse text editors going. There may have been reasons thirty or forty years ago, but now it’s just complexity and a weird ui for the sake of it
I feel like elves would get into tea, dwarves would get into coffee
That works for why they’re still a low level adventurer but none of the other problems i mentioned
Because it makes a complete mockery of history, because it means they’re clearly completely incapable of learning anything in a reasonable timeframe (what were you doing for the last two hundred years? picking your toes???), because it means they cannot possible think like the humans playing them as they work on a totally different timescale, because elf culture would have to either be completely alien or stuck in the bronze age, and finally because it just rubs me the wrong way!
Yeah this is a primary reason I hate elves being so much longer lived than humans
It says they’re high density, so use them as ammo for your rail gun
* Poorer white people. Even those who know they’re poor think it won;t target them, only those who are worse than them somehow
Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle. I was expecting a trashy slasher with some queer elements and an autistic protagonist, what I got was a good supernatural thriller with some queer elements and a very believable autistic protagonist - I would genuinely recommend it.
The writing is the weakest part, it feels very kind of pedestrian, like “here’s some words explaining what’s happening” rather than being artistic or beautiful or evocative but it’s good enough for the story and characters to come through, and they’re great. So remove the writing quality from the equation and it could be absolutely excellent
I mean theoretically, but it was crap like everything else in that film. He figured nothing out on his own
I have a different brand of multicooker, and it’s excellent. The “boil” function goes down as low as 40C so I use it to sous vide things fairly often
I’m not sure how much of a scandal it was outside of those directly affect, but I was in the circle. A group of us, led by one of the younger drama teachers, went to the Edinburg Fringe Festival (a big literary, drama and comedy festival) with a bunch of short comic plays by Checkov (yes, really!). he was attractive enough that he had to make sure not to be alone in a room with a female student in case of rumours, but he was decent and would never had done anything like that. He got his wife and his brother involved too, which was cool, we all got on really well. We had a lot of fun, it was great, and, amazingly for the first time at the Fringe, didn’t actually lose money! (I think we made like fifty quid between twelve of us, so we didn’t exactly make a profit either, but it was an amazing experience)
Then his brother and his wife had an affair and ran away together
They are mostly known for having smashed machines and been terrified of technology. That’s where the parallel here lies, and what the term has come to mean. Whether they had good reasons back then is irrelevant, the anti-ai bunch don’t have now.
