I use them fine with my left hand. There's no reason to stay on home row if you're doing a lot of copy and paste. Of course, if you're doing that much copy and paste, using an extension that allows VIM shortcuts would be much faster.

If you don't like BÉPO because you want familiar letter-based clipboard shortcuts, you've already made a better layout selection impossible. I learned to use the older clipboard shortcuts: ctrl+ins for copy, shift+ins for paste, and shift+del for cut. Those are still as universally supported.

If you want everything bundled instead of à la carte, that sounds more like eclipse to me. But then, I don't understand how anyone can program in Java.

I think that aphorism is about authority-respect rather than basic-human-decency-respect.

This thread makes me wonder how much contemporary American English is to blame for people being able to exploit ambiguities surreptitiously. Dog whistles have to start somewhere, they don't seem to be prearranged.

I think the rationale is that, when it's a single individual, they can't pass the buck or blame the group. It's a final appeal at a human level.

The trick is not electing a troll.

Calling well-earned criticism of economics anti-intellectualism is using the composition/division fallacy.

Most people's lives have been affected for decades by Chicago School of Economics voodoo nonsense, that's where much modern criticism is aimed.

It's this: https://www.newsweek.com/james-comey-deletes-post-depicting-8647-after-backlash-online-2073031

James Comey posted a picture of "8647" (get rid of Trump) spelled in shells.

The "light truck" exemption is a huge problem, and needs to be repealed.

Big cars also reduce everyone else's visibility.

Yes, and if that's the only issue that matters to you, and you ignore the impact on all those other people, I guess that's fair to say they are the same. But does all that extra suffering serve a purpose? Are you volunteering yourself to bear any of it, or only others?

Straw men? You understand that these are actually things that are really happening, right?
