This is not what a Japanese swordsmith or any craftman does, they obsess over the end result, polishing it until it reaches perfection. Riced out Neovim/emacs setup doesn't and hasn't ever led to quality software in any shape

It's like people dont even know why people use or want these "modern" tools. It's called "sane defaults", and improved UX. Those "foundational GNU tools" just suck, sure, people are familiar with them

Have you bothered to, you know, do the bare minimum and check atleast the vulgaris definition of antinatalism.... on say, wikipedia? I'm not going to argue your private distorted perception and misunderstanding that falls completely ou

So you don't see the difference between: 1. I'm not going to have children because it's WRONG, unethical and unjustifiable to inflict serious harm and suffering (without their consent) 2. I'm not going to have children,

I'd posit that the people that don't procreate aren't and can't even be called normies. They are outliers. One-offs. Selected out within generation. Where's the "normy-ism" in that? It just don't even

It is very much consistent, a person - intent to have children isn't a single node. It's a whole tree. If you cut the tree at the stem you likely reduce net pain experienced by orders of magnitude. Most people don't think t

It absolutely isn't default world view in most of the world. The reason people don't have children - most of them anyway - have nothing to do with antinatalism. Having children simply would be a massive, major inconvienience, and

It's just the way it should be. Other language doesn't fundamentally change anything if you want to use win32 API, if anything it would make things more confusing. People often fall prey to C++isms, and they would have made the wh
