There can and should be such a thing as a free lunch.
An important piece of context I'm not sure everybody has: OpenSSH is the single best piece of computer networking software ever made. It is the Swiss army knife of networking, an internet power user's chef's spatula.
I wanna make sure we're on the same page about this.
A broad audience of people who are going to yell at me and be mean, probably, but uh... we'll be immolated on that bridge as we cross it.
Look, there's a twitter reference in the infomercial, and I apologize for that. I'm pitching to a broad audience.

Please break unjust laws.
I want to find the college writing professor who held firm with his position of authority against me that "singular they is incorrect" and...
...make him understand? I don't know. I want him to not be the person who would "hold the line". I want people to not "hold the line" and stand up for "correctness" when "correctness" is wrong.
Hey, turns out toots have a "delete and re-draft" button. How 'bout that.
I understand that that's the whole premise of the thing, but like...
We shouldn't... let them feel like they're in charge.
They can have their "manual of style", but THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY IN CHARGE. WE SHOULDN'T TREAT THEM LIKE THEY ARE IN CHARGE. THEY SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY ARE IN CHARGE.
What the fuck makes you believe you have the goddamn right to even have a fucking opinion on this subject.
"I just woke up one day and I was so fucking arrogant that I decided to be in charge of the rules of english, and here we are."
"But I am a generous god, I will make partial concessions to you lesser, pitiful people, from time to time."
Like idk, woo, you've been forcefully shoved off DEMANDING (their words:) "generic he", to the new position of singular they is "ALLOWED BUT NOT RECOMMENDED"
MTG templating finally dumped "he or she" for "they", and that's good shit right there (gOod sHit 💯 💯 ),
and anyway, because of that I wound up reading the Chicago Manual of Style's writup about their newly increased acceptance of singular they: http://cmosshoptalk.com/2017/04/03/chicago-style-for-the-singular-they/ ,
and it PISSES ME THE FUCK OFF????
Though, to be fair, writing a long program and then making it shorter later is probably the most correct thing to do.
If you actually do the "make it shorter later" part >.>
I would have written a shorter program, but I did not have the time.
it is the world's biggest mood to clock fellow transpeople in public and want to reach out to them in solidarity and just not really have any appropriate way to do so
Star Fox video store AU where Krystal is a video clerk, but it's also a modern AU, so there aren't any more video stores so she has to sit on top of a red box to insult people.

Bicycle culture is accidentally leaving your right pant leg tucked into your sock all day.
I want a transparent cat, so it can get up on my desk in front of my display, but I don't have to stop working because I can't see my code anymore.
.expect() pulls some of that weight, but like... it doesn't make sense to be like:
if x.is_none() {
return;
}
let x = x.expect("Shouldn't happen")
