  • One summer when I was a teenager, my friends and I decided to take a road trip to the next town over. We packed up my old beat-up car and set off, eager for a day of adventure and mischief. As we cruised down the highway, windows down and music blaring, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of freedom and excitement. Little did I know that our carefree jaunt would take an unexpected turn in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.




  • You know, I’ve heard a lot of good things about Helix; if it gets more people using modal editors then I’m all for it. Personally though, I haven’t seen a convincing reason to leave Vim yet.

    The biggest reason though is that my editor works literally everywhere. Even without my custom vimrc, vanilla vim is hugely powerful, and to have that on every random server I need to access is a gamechanger for me. Even if all you have is Vi, you still have a very capable editor available.

    I mean uh… Crushed by a boulder! Which on Lemmy means you’ll be downvoted into oblivion until they run you off the instance haha.




  • Donald Trump is an authoritarian tyrant who is only interested in benefiting himself. Donald Trump is corporate greed personified. Just look at Mar-a-lago. Its literally revolting and that lifestyle is his entire personality. No one should live in such obscene, revolting opulance while others in this country starve to death and die because they can’t afford medications like insulin or epipens. He is a moral abomination and his existence speaks to a systemic abject failure of American democracy to hold these weirdos accountable for their actions.

    Bill Clinton is all about schmoozing up to corporate fucks like Donald in the hopes that they will both benefit at our expense. He’s all too happy to negotiate with republican terrorists if it means there’s money involved. Jon Stewart aptly describes this as the “soft hum of corruption” in the Democratic party. A big part of the unregulated nightmare that is the American economy is the direct result of his anti-worker pro-corporate deregulation campaign.

    In many ways Bill Clinton not offering a strong progressive agenda has lead us to where we are today. Donald Trump is a symptom of a failing society. He is not an isolated incident, and others will come in his place if the underlying problems in American society (started by Nixon and hugely accelerated by Reagan) are not resolved.
