To each their own: fully agreed, even though our tastes differ. I will mention one advantage of the spaces-around-dashes method: word wrap with default settings will break on the spaces around the dashes so that the entire word one, dash, word two combo doesn't end up pulled onto the next line as a whole unit. Whereas the advantage of the no-spaces method that you prefer is that word wrap will pull the entire word one, dash, word two combo onto the next line as a whole unit.
Why yes, I did list the opposite behavior as an advantage of each. Because that, too, is up to individual preference. :-)
That depends on the layout engine, I believe. Just tried it in Firefox (on macOS; not sure if it uses Core Text or something custom there), and it does sometimes break around the em dash in "foo—bar" style, not just "foo – bar" style.
I've definitely noticed the behavior you describe on some layout engines, too, and it's another reason why I personally prefer "foo – bar" style.
I respect someone who seems to honestly admit they do not know, and that it's ok to not be sure. And I respect anyone who encourages others to think for themselves (though that failed pretty drastically with Covid).
Compare that any politician who is 100% sure of X until X is only supported by 49% of people.
"[Socialists are] taking over everything. It looks like they've taken over a lot of the corporations. It looks like they've taken over the military."
Left or right, I don't know how one could read statements like this and continue to believe the guy has any credibility. Literally just making things up.
You're probably right, but also: the three movies take place one right after the other, over the span of what, 2-3 weeks maybe? Kinda makes sense from a plot perspective that Wick might look a bit winded by the third movie.
I think your post encapsulates what irks a lot of people about the "woke". There's no room for nuance or analysis, just a lot of overdramatized labels (nazi? really? you are aware of what the real nazis did right? stop cheapening history just to increase the temperature of the debate)
Huh? Clearly this entire topic is a meta-topic. I have no particular axe to grind at the moment.
> Maybe just talk about something specific instead of just some broad “woke has gone to far”.
Well, I'm not the one regularly calling anyone I disagree with a Nazi Sympathizer. I'm not sure I've ever needed to, because the actual nazi sympathizers tend to be pretty explicit and proud of their views, and easy to avoid. People are free to lob that around labels like that if they want, but it's going to result in me not taking them seriously. To me, when I hear someone being called a "nazi sympathizer" I just assume that means "I really dislike that person"; which is very unfortunate in a boy-who-cried-wolf sense because I absolutely would like to know who the true nazi sympathizers are.
>"Wokeness has gone too far, but I don't really have any concrete examples, I just guess it has somehow haha"
I mean you have to have something to make such a claim in your op. As for Trump, yes maybe they are not precisely but lets be honest
- Using fascist political tactics
- Said explicitly "Hitler did a lot of good things", doesn't seem a great move to have on the record unless its just to appeal to more radical people.
- Hired officials with ties to white nationalist groups.
- Empathised with neo Nazis in Charlottesville, eg Proud Boys.
- Endorses violence on external/opposition groups.
So come on, while themselves are not technically a fascist he definitely responsible for eroding democracy and liberalism. They are a right wing populist. I think it's fair to say sympathiser considering all of this. I feel they deliberately make it murky, more like leaving the door open to more radical people, while still being palatable for the less radicalised. A pretty serious and dangerous situation. Far more than some perceived "woke-ism".
I'm amused you "quoted" me for something I didn't say. If there is a specific thing I hate about the "woke" it's that they're dishonest.
I have no love for Trump, but if you want to be all political Obama kept all the worst policies of the Bush presidency (especially the wall street stuff). Worse, he escalated the drone strikes. IE, murdering people. Trump strikes me as run of the mill bad, so when I hear histrionics I generally assume its from someone that has no context of history. Your argument style is to put words into other peoples mouths. Stop fighting straw men.
Hey do you want an example of where wokeness has gone too far? Fallon Fox. They legalized a man beating the shit out of women because he identified as a woman. In my view, that's too far. Unless you want to put words in my mouth again, none of my world view celebrates a man beating up women. So congrats, theres a specific thing.
Would current white supremacists be for or against being conflated with Nazis of times past? Don't they still do the whole swastika thing, even? Do they reject the label? And if so, is that only because of the baggage that comes with it?
> The government of Texas seems to hate trans people.
They banned sex changes for minors. That’s not “hating trans people”, that’s just a policy you disagree with when it comes to defining the degree to which a minor is legally capable of consenting to an adult irreversibly altering their body.
The Texas law is based on a theory of there being a fundamental right to procreate, which is harmed by the sterilization effect of many gender-related procedures. If you could come up with a theory of harm for braces, you could make a case for banning them too. But I doubt it would be as grave a harm as removing sexual function.
A subset of people have discovered they can harm other people by exercising "wokeism". They should not be confused with people who work to be woke. There are very strong differences among the latter over Bernie, or almost any other political axis.
>the last American president was a right wing racist Nazi
If you go and ask the actual Nazis (or NatSocs as they prefer) they'll tell you they don't like him because he was not a right wing racist Nazi. CivNat maybe (but if he really is he toned it done a lot to pander to minorities) certainly not a Nazi.
This cute comment would have more bite if you'd actually managed to write in a straight logical line like the parent comment. Of course, imitation-but-worse is a reactionary staple.
This is probably my favorite response, because I literally made the exact point as the original comment. Any difference in the quality of the argument, such as it is, is purely invention on your part.
Which of course, is the point: it's a stupid argument however you look at it. If you up vote it, it's only because it confirms your priors, not because of the quality of the point (non-existent).
yes, it is the people who have unchallenged confidence who experience imposter syndrome, not the people who have work hard and encounter powerful "experts" pretending to know what they are talking about.
and who cares if your work environment or your boss or is bad. you either worked hard enough or you didn't. if it were me, i would have simply worked hard enough to overcome such challenges
