Also, "they weren't like this around people who explicitly didn't agree with them?" Well yeah, so is everyone.

more people in power should allow themselves to be authentic sports haters

do not try to pander to every team, there's nothing people hate more than inauthentic sports "fandom"

I'm a Cubs fan and this doesn't bother me at all! (much more disturbed by Obama's "I like both teams!" thing. like, we know you're a sox fan. it's fine)

So I don't know if SVN does the same, but in git, you can use the reflog to undo FUBARs because the old versions, even histories that have been retconned away, don't get tidied up immediately, they just don't have nice names anymore. But if you know the hashes from the log you can reattach the names

Yes, but OTOH, this is just *barely* satire:

IIRC it only saves you if you reset a branch into the past, vs the usual case of hard resetting to HEAD and discarding uncommitted changes by accident.

But the tldr of the reflog is that old commits, even ones with no branch pointing at them, don't disappear immediately so you can resurrect them

Autumn really is the best season to be a werewolf: cool air, long nights, and humans praise your appearance instead of running away.

The Discourse Lover @Trillburne
One funny thing you notice when you study history is that basically every society since the dawn of civilization has produced the type of dolt who believes this about whatever system they happened to be born under.

Sometimes I think about how special is that there is a nice amount of furries who are interested in history and in what I ramble about.
Like, of course, mister lizard person, I appreciate your questions about babylonian clay tables! Or, look at that, several foxes want to know about medieval art!

Gen AI does, but you can use the same technology as a search engine if you wire it up differently AFAIK

reading how foxes are self-selecting now, on an evolutionary basis, for "sociable with humans" and then seeing a flood of "this fox decided to be fwiends with me" videos and it's like foxes finally decided that that one particular group of wolves had the right idea when they decided to become dogs

The conservative idea that education, intelligence and learning is linear, by the way, is why tech bros are convinced that Artificial General Intelligence is possible and that what OpenAI et al are doing will lead there.

The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.
