I'm thinking of ditching it. It's been pretty awful lately. A lot of the official extensions I relied on have regressed to the point of being useless.

Also, releasing a FLOSS editor and then forcing you to use a proprietary build with telemetry if you want to debug .NET code is the most Microsoft thing ever.

Give zoomers a break. Most people have terminal baby duck syndrome and will sacrifice anything for convenience, regardless of age.

Digital sanity. I do not want any of my tools to constantly beg to be updated.

some context: "pogo" is a brand of frozen corn dogs which is for some reason also a cultural staple

To clarify, enculé means "someone who gets fucked in the ass" and has its roots in homophobia but nowadays that's not really part of the intent.

Never figured out what "de ta race" is supposed to mean though. Maybe "you're a poor representative of your race"?

It's archaic but I love "raclure de bidet". Comparing someone to the stuff you would scrape off of a bidet where all sorts of people have washed their taint. Short and loaded with contempt.

"Gibier de potence" is great too. Means "game for the gallow", with the term "game" using in the hunting sense. Basically someone you think should be executed.

Also "chien sale", dirty/unclean dog, which for a reason is a stand-in for "asshole".

It's an investment, remember

You don't need to go super far left to find convincing arguments against US foreign policy. Noam Chomsky is a mainstream intellectual after all, and he coined the phrase "consent manufacturing".

The idea that the US acts in total self interest should be presumed true in all cases, but that doesn't on its own defeat the idea that its intervention in Ukraine is good. The logical next step is to ask ourselves whether this intervention ever had any chance of changing the outcome of the conflict at all. If it didn't, and most people here would agree that it didn't, then the US' involvement amounts to wartime profiteering at the cost of human lives.

edit: I should also add, there's good reason to believe that NATO expansion is what caused the conflict, and that the west did this in spite of clear and explicit warnings from Russia
