Nope, not a valid reason.

The constitution was made to be amended to adapt with the times. Time to amend the 2nd amendment and require a valid reason such as hunting for having a firearm.

What you observes could be OS depended,. Vim has its own copy paste buffers (y,p etc) and the OS has its own. Traditionally highligh to copy and middle mouse button to paste on Unix. Windows has 2 methods, ctrl-c,v but those are also bindings in vim so only the older less known crtl-insert,shirt-insert works.

Copy paste is definitely built in, there is no need for extra plugins.

You mean you couldn't copy some text from vim and paste it into another application? if yes, what did you have to install/configure for that? I've never had any issues copy paste from/to vim, console/GUI windows/Unix.

No problem with ID for voting, just have to make sure they're accessible by all at no cost (both time and monetary).

Republicans proposals for voter ID so far have been riddled with ID exclusions that, while never admitted to, would exclude a large part of the population that they don't want to be allowed to vote. Either include more types of ID or make sure to provide everyone with a voter id for free before the election.

today I learnt that sky news UK is very different to sky news Australia.

I put on my sony wh-1000xm5's to get as clear audio as I could. The first few chants could be interpreted as "lock him up" but it quickly turned to a clear "Ka-ma-la" once the cheering and clapping reduced.

At 8:34 there was a single clear "lock him up" after Harris mentioned Trump's recent conviction.

So that's settled now, I they weren't chanting "lock him up"

1 FreeBSD server with zfs mirror for storage and various server software

1 FreeBSD laptop for development

1 Linux laptop for software that doesn't support FreeBSD

1 Linux desktop for work.

The rest of the family is 100% windows though :/

And you're not trying to deflect from your original argument you were making.

A text book definition of a word vs what people behind a political party in a specific country are very different things.

I stand by what I've said, American conservatives tend to assume that American liberals do what a conservative would have done. In this case be unable to be impartial and make decisions based on their own ideology.

An American liberal is more likely to be able to be impartial than a conservative.

Have a good life.

I am definitely saying the liberals are more likely to be impartial.

liberals tend to favour fairness of outcome, not the conservative fairness of opportunity. Hence they are better able to better put themselves in other people's shoes and go against their core beliefs (ideology) if that means a failed outcome for other people.

I watched it live too, it was painful.

Trump just says what he wants to be true, regardless if it is. But he has always been like that so nothing new.

Biden looked very tired, while he answered the questions much better than Trump, it was painful to watch him struggle to get the words out sometimes.

I suspect that many Biden votes will be a vote against Trump, not for Biden.

This comment really feels like "I'm making all my decisions based on ideology therefore everyone does"
