I dunno, plenty of those sound pretty reasonable.

It's been massively effective and has put them on the defensive in a way no other criticism ever has.

Paw Patrol is a very fascist show meant to teach fascist ideology to kids, just so you know: https://www.cnn.com/2017/12/22/health/thomas-tank-engine-paw-patrol-fascist-cartoon-strauss/index.html

This isn't a criticism, it's easy to for stuff like this to slip past parents' radar. But I'd strongly recommend switching to a different show.

Insurance companies shouldn't exist. Healthcare should not be a for-profit institution.

Yeah, no, fuck off with that. The doctor is the care provider, not the insurance company, and an insurance company has no fucking business deciding what is or isn't medically necessary.

That used to be true, but in recent years he has gotten a lot more conservative, so I personally take his predictions with a huge grain of salt.

Probably a good thing you got banned for advocating for child abuse.

Why are you such a piece of shit? Or is this just bait?

[–] expr@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Sure, perhaps it's possible that I saw an unusually high amount of apologists, but I'm saying that it happened enough times and consistently enough that it prompted me to block them before I even knew anything about them, which I think at least says something. I won't claim to know what the majority opinion there is, but I don't think it's a stretch to say that it's an abnormal amount.

Answer me this: are they or are they not consistently in support of Russia/China? Because I've seen it a lot from them (and blocked the instance soon after joining Lemmy when I noticed the pattern).

Is it just some big joke that went over my head?

[–] expr@programming.dev 9 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I dunno, I ended up blocking the instance way before I knew about their reputation (like, when I first joined Lemmy) because all of the users their kept posting the most unhinged shit.

I have definitely seen blatant apologism for China/Russia from them.

FWIW, I'm much further left than your average Democrat (I consider myself a leftist/anarchist). I personally don't consider what I've seen from them to be very "left", just authoritarian.

! is supported

Vim's command line, i.e, commands starting with :. The vanishingly few it does support are, again, only the most basic, surface-level commands (and some commands aren't even related to their vim counterparts, like :cwindow, which doesn't open the quick fix list since the extension doesn't support that feature).

Your experience is out of date.

The last commit to the supported features doc was 5 years ago, so no, it isn't. Seriously, you can't possibly look at that doc and tell me that encompasses even 20% of vim's features. Where's the quick fix list? The location list? The args list? The change list? The jump list? Buffers? Vim-style window management (including vim's tabs)? Tags? Autocommands (no, what it has does not count)? Ftplugins? ins-completion? The undo tree? Where's :edit, :find, :read [!], and :write !? :cdo, :argdo, :bufdo, :windo?

Compared to what vim can do, it is absolutely a joke.
