  • I like the terminal because:

    1. It’s the same everywhere. You don’t lose knowledge by switching to a company that has a different git client.
    2. You know what’s going on, mostly. Most clients will assume you want to do things one way and do it that way for you, especially when it comes to fetching/pulling/merging. I’d rather go through all the steps in the terminal myself so I can assure myself that I won’t be reliving various past broken merge traumas.
    3. If you like the terminal generally, you’re probably also doing other stuff there anyway. So you can get used to running whatever commands to test, lint, push, etc. without switching windows or even taking your hands off the keyboard and it becomes muscle memory.



  • Maybe instead of resorting to exaggerated dismissals and suggesting I lack sanity, think about it for a minute because I think once you do, it’s pretty obvious.

    What they should do about it is use it to win and keep Trump out of the White House. If they turn it into a criminal law issue it’ll confuse the matter and turn what should be an argument about right vs. wrong into legal vs. illegal. There exists a realm of behavior, quite a large realm in fact, of things that are deplorable but not illegal. Such as waving an ISIS flag, or walking around in a Hitler moustache and armband. That’s where Trump’s behavior fits.

    This is why when a Nazi gets criticized, the first thing they do is cry “free speech”. Because by making it a legal matter, they’re picking the best hill for them to fight on. They skip the question of whether their behavior is reprehensible, and fight a battle they can win - whether it’s legal.

    So if you want to do Trump the biggest favor imaginable, decide to fight this in the courts. Make the question “Is it legal to be racist” because we all know the answer is yes, and even if it wasn’t the courts (especially in red Ohio) are heavily in Trump’s favor and have repeatedly shown willingness to help him out. That way we can have a dismissal and headlines “Trump wins again” and pictures of him with a big smile on his face. See: Just about every past time Trump has been brought to court, or charged with impeachment.










  • Everyone keeps saying “yeah but Trump would be worse for Gaza” just because he did the whole embassy thing, but this really looks as if it’s maxed out.

    It’s a lot more than that. Trump also gave a Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor, to Miriam Adelson, a billionaire heiress who is actually more extremist even than Netanyahu. She openly opposes Palestinian statehood, wants Israel to annex the West Bank, and wrote an op-ed saying critics of Israel are “our enemies” and “dead to us”. She gave Trump money, so she owns him. The US can do a lot more than send a few weapons to Israel, and this rabid extremist billionaire will ask Trump for everything she can get. And he will do what she says.
