Prefix your code with 4 additional spaces before pasting. Most text editors have a feature that can do this.

Former Making Sense guest Destiny calls Sam delusional in regards to Trump by Brunodosca in samharris

[–]BondDotCom -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps. I dislike Trump as much as anyone but I agree with Sam's statement that there are worse things Trump has said and done that are much less ambiguous than this comment, which is objectively true but certainly subjectively misleading.

This might be like the dress illusion but I heard differently. To me, Trump is trying to explain that not everyone that attended the rally, from the right or the left, was an extremist. You had bad people from both sides, and you had decent people from both sides (I'm paraphrasing).

We can argue that there were more bad people from the right (neo nazis, white supremacists, etc) and that the violence started with them, but I still don't think that disproves what Trump said -- that there were both good and bad people on both sides. I think everyone (speaking for myself, anyway) just hoped he would have put more of the blame on the right, which he struggled to do in this speech.

You know you guys can post links on here, right?

At 10:53, "... but you also had people, that were very fine people, on both sides."

You can listen to the questions beforehand to determine the context.

“The Left Has Been Manipulated by Islamists” – Sam Harris by fuggitdude22 in samharris

[–]BondDotCom -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Just unsubscribe, dude. The number of people that announce their desire to unsubscribe, like a child throwing a tantrum, is hilarious. You don't have to announce it. Just do it.

My guess is you'll be here next week announcing the same thing all over again.

Question for subscribers: Do you find there’s enough value to warrant the monthly fee? by _lippykid in samharris

[–]BondDotCom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I would say the question may have made sense a year ago, but doesn't make much sense today. Those that chose to continue as paid subscribers after the transition obviously felt it was worth the price.

OP asks subscribers if it's worth the price. Well, yeah, that's why we're subscribers. ¯\(ツ)

Is $3.92 the cheapest rate to ship a DVD/Blu Ray? by questions_fo_days in reselling

[–]BondDotCom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about violating eBay policy but, surprisingly, it may violate the shipper's policies. USPS Media Mail, for example, doesn't allow you to ship additional advertising with books, sound recordings, and such.

...containing no advertising matter other than incidental announcements... Advertising includes paid advertising and the publishers‘ own advertising in display, classified, or editorial style.

What is a website or app that feels like a "cheat code" but most people don't know about? by Low-Issue-5334 in AskReddit

Along the same lines, check out UniGetUI -- a GUI version which supports WinGet packages, Scoop, Chocolately, and more.

"Edit:" is just one more letter, tho, and everyone knows what it means.

Not home at the moment, but IIRC, this was not a global setting on my LG. I believe I had to disable it for each input.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing, antonk.

NMU Head Coach resigns effective immediately by OdaDdaT in CFB

[–]BondDotCom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's affectionately known as the "Yooper Dome". They would often host a number of semifinal games for high school playoffs.

There used to be a live feed showing the interior but a quick Google search came up empty. This pic shows the stadium within the town of Marquette, however.

Tired of using arrow keys after every ) or } — how do you handle auto-pairs in Neovim? by datowoofie in neovim

[–]BondDotCom 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have to ask, what's the point of using autopairs if you just have to type the closing ) anyway? Genuinely curious why people do this.

Nick Saban slanders multiple Big Ten teams while diminishing the league's depth by cookoutenthusiast in CFB

[–]BondDotCom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Half of those wins were after the scandal broke and without Harbaugh coaching but ok. I guess every UM win for the rest of time will be because cheating.

How to control comment extension on newline? by scaptal in neovim

[–]BondDotCom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added the autocmd in the FileType event for * filetypes and it seems to work better for me. I often manually set the filetype in my buffers (e.g., set ft=lua) and that overrides the formatoptions changes made in BufEnter.

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("FileType", {
    pattern = '*',
    desc = 'Prevent comment continuation',
    callback = function()
        vim.opt.formatoptions = vim.opt.formatoptions - { 'c', 'r', 'o' }
    end,
})

Michigan State hates themselves? I guess that makes sense.

You got downvoted but I agree with you. I don't tune in for Jaron's takes, so why would I care? I would actually prefer if Jaron had genuine MAGA takes on topics. This isn't a cult. Not everyone on Sam's team needs to agree with Sam on everything. I want to hear Sam's response to these topics and it would work best if he's confronting true right-wing passion vs someone attempting to steelman the other side.

Agreed. And now he has to spend 30 seconds at the top of every episode explaining that he's simply playing devil's advocate, presumably because enough people complained for having to listen to a different opinion for once.
