I’m a neovim guy myself, so mostly I’m in markdown. Most of the latex stuff is for document production and it’s easy as keeping a skeleton file with the includes set up on a letter heading. If I have something that NEEDS to be printed and markdown wont do it, I’m definitely using latex not libre. I’m not sure I can even use any kind of writing tool without vim bindings anymore anyway.

Matchmaker matchmaker chop off his cap! Grind off his rind, so his dick slaps!

Ew no way. Best way to make document structure portable, or to move prose or visuals between contexts. It’s also exceptional if you want to automatically generate documentation with code or services that generate graphics.

ALSO you can version control it with git which is a good enough reason in and of itself unless you can use markdown for your purposes instead.

I don’t know why you think it’s a generational thing. There has always technical people that filled in the gaps that the more extroverted management types didn’t care about. How do you think things worked when millennials were still in diapers?

Uh… Unless you worked at the forefront of technology where more people probably WERE qualified, by and large these things worked on paper/transparencies I would presume. If PowerPoint and PDF were people, they are themselves millennials and gen z (ish) respectively.

Now, when millennials were about 10 you’ve got a decent point ;).

I think we have different definitions of “easily”.

Hahaha I eat crayons so other people get mad

Neat.

Nobody is freaking out who isn’t a moron.

There are a handful of arch users who eat crayons… if the windows users in 2026 leave any I mean.

I would absolutely make it this way with a roux to bake it. If I’m not baking it though you can for sure one pan it. Drain mostly cooked noodles, milk, butter, Velveeta, cream cheese, and a little bit of any other hard orange cheese you might have. Principally, this is I believe the main application for Velveeta besides queso and it’s the star of Mac and cheese on the stovetop.

I see you have not been graced by madthumbs and the linuxsucks community. It’s so hilariously stupid I’ve got it blocked so I can’t link, but that should be enough to find it if you like.

And you can do both.

There are definitely some thirsty fuckers out and about.

People who do compete without a set goal (e.g. I win this cup, get the prize money and go do X that I want to do) are victims of bullshit.

That is a wild take.

To borrow from Daniel Pink’s book “Drive” which focuses on motivation theory, external motivators like money or prizes take you nowhere near as far as internal motivators. You are more likely to succeed generally and reach higher levels of performance if your motivation is intrinsic because you give that motivation to yourself and it is self-amplifying. Of course, his bent is more business-meets-academia, but I would struggle to see a world where it doesn’t also apply here. Would you just up and start a new hobby because you won the local competition?

It seems to me that by your logic you go take a karate class so you can get a black belt and then quit? Where’s the satisfaction in that? I don’t think that’s a problem of being a “victim of bullshit”, it’s about the pursuit of excellence for its own sake.

The moment one party resorted to sealioning, the argument was over. 🤷

Or maybe that’s also the Occam’s razor of patriarchy.

I’m telling you I like to compete and by every metric I’m probably both healthier and more capable than you as a result. I’m glad you’re working on it, but the difference between us is not “patriarchy” no matter how you shoehorn it, it is more likely not being in good shape and trying to catch up. I like attention as a motivator sure, but success and improvement are their own rewards. People can just be just more motivated than you. Bodybuilding and powerlifting are both things people enjoy for their own sake.

Society isn’t the thing keeping you down, it’s the law of averages. Most people suck. At everything. All the time. Welcome.

Why not?

I increase weight and duration to be able to do more or go longer than than other people which brings feelings of accomplishment. It also brings all the benefits you describe. You don’t HAVE to compete, but that doesn’t mean that people who do compete are just victims of the patriarchy, that’s an absurd take.

It’s almost like we can all do things for different reasons and you don’t have a monopoly on why people should do a thing.

Take me down your line of thought because I don’t see how Occam’s razor applies. Everyone likes to be perceived as attractive or MORE attractive. It’s not just women who take GLP-1s or get plastic surgery. And it’s not just ugly people or pretty people, it’s everybody. It’s nicer to be desirable by popular standards than not. That’s not the patriarchy, that’s comparative evaluation for mate selection.

And if you’re not into that it’s fine, but everyone likes to be viewed as attractive.

I find the “bruh it’s the patriarchy” to be, frankly, pretty fucking dumb.

That strikes me as a super cop out. People just like to be noticed and recognized and the more of it you have, the more of it you want, just like wealth.

I don’t go to the gym because of unrealistic male body standards, I do it because it feels good to be noticed even after you’ve got kids and you’re happily married. It feels good to win and it feels bad to lose but if you have to lose at least you can crab bucket?

Can’t, I don’t speak Spanish that’s the whole problem.

I hope someone is researching how to give people liveabeetus. Wilford Brimley might be too far gone though by now.
