It’s always good to have something to aspire to.

For me, I’ll keep admiring Warren for as long as she keeps beating up banks. I don’t really give a shit about a primary they both lost anymore.

Presidential elections are about as competitive as anything gets.

Bernie’s been over it for years; she’s literally one of his best allies in the senate. I assume if the person on the other end of the fight can get over it, the people who weren’t even there can figure it out too and stop wasting energy attacking the people who want to help us.

For some reason people seem to love purity-testing Warren and finding her wanting. Warren made the CFPB happen. Of course, now it’s being dismantled by republicans, but I’d be willing to bet that her work has accomplished more actual progressive goals than anyone in this comment section.

It’s not practical at scale — any employee working for a cabinet department (and probably more than that, what do I know) takes the oath. If they violate it later it’s easier to store a PDF in the personnel file to provide evidence they agreed to it in the first place.

Yes, although it’s generally more of a signed piece of paper or PDF thing than a saying-out-loud-in-front-of-people thing.

…well I’m definitely turning that on for my Linux machine then. Thanks for the tip.

I think this is something macOS does best — using shift+option hyphen is a bit quicker than alt+0151.

Odd, I see them used all the time, and I’m neither. So I guess either my experience is an outlier, everyone I talk to is secretly an LLM, or maybe the meme is pushing an easy conclusion because people in general are bad at picking up on LLM responses and want an easy punctuation mark so they don’t have to think.

They’re pretty trivial to make in any OS — having a dedicated key isn’t necessary.

Weirdly it usually turns hyphens into en dashes instead of em dashes from what I’ve seen, which makes no sense at all.

It is absolutely Harker. I don’t know if you’re a slider, but you are correct.

This is how he responds to everything, including but not limited to librarians, airport security, and answers to questions he has asked someone directly.

The only setting on his conversational style is angry old white man.

 

For me, it’s got to be Ironride. It looks so perfect on the mercenary, I couldn’t stop myself from wearing it into maps, even though it was far outclassed by rares at that point. What’d you wear for too long?
