Ignore it or mock it. I start preaching about Great Cthulhu at people who have loonie beliefs, and let them try to debunk me.

I've got good at reciting "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!" in a high-pitched preacher voice.

Golden Palominos, Prison of the Rhythm Exuberance Is Beauty Mix

Way back on my radio show, that was my "I'm in the can or searching stacks for music" song.

I've never had that happen, within the same type. I had some loose-fit Levis 568 which were very different, but the 501s never change. Just switched from 40w to 38w, got exactly the size change I expected.

Levis. Cheap pants are never worth it, the 501 is always in style and perfect.

  1. Pythonista. Great Python editor, REPL, and platform-specific libraries.
  2. Editorial. Same author, Markdown editor which can be scripted in Python. I routinely write al new features for it, like dice rollers, list renumbering, etc.
  3. Documents by Readdle. PDF & epub reading, file management, bunch of optional features.
  4. iCabMobile. Browser with a ton of ad-blocking, filters, good file management, I routinely use it as a private browser.

Would you prefer they eat live animals?

"The War to End All Wars" was a good season finale, but then just 20 years later they made a sequel with bigger effects budget and openly evil villains. Lazy writing. And the way things have been written towards WWIII but then backing off is a long season tease.

They also bike to work.

Every day can be an episode of MacGyver if you try hard enough.

I can hear the theme song now.

RUN, BE FREE! You can escape their tracking now. They will never find you in the forest, eating nuts & berries.

If you actually understand the programming language, libraries, problem, and think about your solution first, you can code just fine in ed, the standard text editor. Sometimes I do, I'm the third real programmer

In practice, I mostly code in Vim, which launches instantly, is completely customizable, and I can type and edit faster than in anything else. IDEs are excruciatingly slow, with all the highlighting and analysis stuff on, waiting for code completion instead of just typing it out because you know things.

You don't need any of that.

There's also the issue that VSCode is spyware created by Microsoft, and both things should send you running away.
