Nice to see a measured comment.

I don’t think it will lead to banning porn. Just tell actors/directors to stop chocking and cut some sequences from old videos. If a video is an hour long chocking session then geoblock it. I don’t think it’s an existential crisis for the industry.

Banning possession is insane though.

4 kids. Died in her husband’s arms.

This country is broken beyond repair.

I tried helix and it’s nice but it’s still not ready to be an IDE. Too many features missing. And I’m not learning completely new tool just to edit text. Vim is still great for that. Let’s hope it grows and gets all the features eventually.

This is in direct response to some recent studies that claimed that chocking is the second most common cause of stroke in women under 40. Other studied found that there is no safe amount of oxygen deprivation, any chocking leads to brain damage. Other risks of choking are difficulty swallowing, incontinence, seizures, memory problems, depression, anxiety and miscarriage.

What happened is that porn normalized chocking. It used to be limited to the “hard core” types of porn but now it’s mainstream and kids that grew up watching it think it’s just normal part of sex. Most women asked about it say that they don’t enjoy it but do it “for their partner’s pleasure”.

So yeah, the government treats it as a public health issue and bans it.

I’m not a scientists, I didn’t review all those studies and frankly I don’t care one way of the other. Just wanted to give people some context.

Yeah, but think of the value they will create for the shareholders!

Vim is great for editing in general and coding simple things but I kind of gave up on using it as an IDE. Too many plugins to configure, to many breaking changes, too many bugs. My current issue is that after couple hours or days code formatting simply breaks and starts mangling my code. Only full restart fixes the problem. It’s impossible to figure out were the issue is as there are so many plugins and external tools involved. I still think it’s amazing you can setup vim to work as a full IDE with code completion, refactoring, formatting and all but it’s just not stable enough. I reluctantly switched to Zed with vim mode. I miss smooth scrolling but other then that it’s really nice.

This is fucked up on so many levels I lost count.

Is that a Detroiters reference?

She.

It hit us like a sudden monsoon in Goa.

Banishment to Windows.

2yo? They have people to take care of children at each station or do they just lock toddlers up until someone shows up?

If we’re thinking about the same pond story the driver was drunk. Not very magical.

You know how on the TV there’s this type of a character that’s like a female head of a crime family that has to be smarter and stronger than the men and everyone is scared of her and respects her? MAGA would vote for a candidate like that. They don’t like womanly women that are educated and attractive. A strong, christian motherly figure? That’s a different story.

MAGA Republicans are so stupid they will believe MTG is not a real women and still vote for her. All you need is a bit of propaganda on Fox.

What I do in a situation like this is reach slowly to my pocket, pretending I’m going to grab my wallet but instead I take out the remote detonator that triggers the bomb I implanted in my attackers ass 3 months earlier. Look on their faces: priceless.

While it is of course illegal to throw anything at anyone this should be treated as civil disobedience or an act causing negligible societal harm and be dismissed.

"As international commentators wring their hands over the war in Gaza, Israelis themselves are clear: the battle is not over, and it must be won.

A new poll released Wednesday night shows a striking 65% majority of Israelis support the capture of Gaza City and the central refugee camps—still largely under Hamas control—compared to 32% opposed. Just 3% said they had no opinion."

I don’t think someone can be this ignorant so I will just assume you’re a shill.

A friend of mine was working on decommissioning Oracle at his company for the past year or two. The company bought some software that was using Oracle years ago. Turns out it was relying heavily on DB procedures and to ditch Oracle they had to move all this logic out of it first. They tried to do it couple of times before but failed. The software works so this work had low priority and would be scraped eventually to focus on more important things. On like a 3rd try they finally managed to do it and are now Oracle free.
