  • I’m going back to Europe for a few months for a visit. I was looking at other VPNs and they were offering me cheap discounts but I’d have to sign up for 2 years or some shit. Mullvad was very straightforward in their pricing and I was able to generate the VPN config and I have it installed on my travel router really easily.

    This is why people on Lemmy can be naive. A lot of people on Lemmy say the Dems need to take X position or need Y policies to get the Republican voter base.

    It doesn’t matter. They vote against their best interests and they’ll do it again. They have no beliefs.






  • I remember when I graduated and went to New York for an internship. I went to the fridge and took a big swig of Coke and was like, whats going on with my teeth and mouth? It feels weird.

    Then a few people told me and I was like, why’s Coke so popular in the US if it tastes like this? How come this Mexican Coke everyone is talking about isn’t more popular?

    I gave up sugary soft drinks for the most part now. I do have it occasionally but it’s like once a week or two weeks at most.



  • balkanization

    For uninformed people like myself:

    Balkanization is the process of a country or region fragmenting into smaller, often hostile units, typically driven by ethnic, cultural, religious, or geopolitical differences. The term originates from the Balkan Peninsula, a region that has experienced significant fragmentation throughout history, and the term is now used more broadly to describe similar processes elsewhere.


  • I watched that episode for the first time just the other day. Definitely ruined because I expected the ending and I had the Futurama reference in mind.

    I definitely think people should watch the Twilight Zone though. I watched the Outer Limits myself growing up but so many of these shows borrow from the Twilight Zone. It would also help some of my friends when we talk about Black Mirror and they’re being like: “it’s the first show that brought these types of ideas”. I’m like, sigh …



  • I use VS Code mainly and I always want to go to the end of a line and beginning. On Mac it’s like CTRL+E and CTRL+A respectively. On Windows, I was like, I guess I could do Windows Key and arrows but it felt off. Installing Vim bindings on VS Code just fixed this all for me. I love it.

    [edit] for non-VIM users, you can skip words and go-to braces (and delete what’s in them) and highlight within quotes very easily … for function search, the built-in VS Code is really good too. I also have Harpoon installed to hop between files. If it doesn’t appeal to you, then that’s cool too! Whatever keeps you in there. [/edit]

    I’ve tried setting up my own vim stuff and I always bail out because I can’t figure something out. I feel like I need to really sit with it and I’d have the perfect set up for me.

    Lastly, I’ve installed vim for zsh and it’s the best. I can hop all around my terminal and highlight and remove things. It’s so beautiful.
