i create new notes, put interesting and shiny texts in them, and weave from them for fun and intellectual or aesthetic inspiration
I maintain a less featureful but easier to use and less janky Loom implementation as an Obsidian plugin: https://github.com/cosmicoptima/loom (Why Obsidian? Because then I don't have to write a text editor from scratch,…

What do you mean by "pronoun-hedonism"?
This means that NFTs still don't denote much without a centralized authority. Doesn't that defeat the point? (That might not make them worthless, since value is socially constructed, but it makes the claims of…
I often criticize designs for being overcomplicated. I wouldn't level that criticism towards this seal, though, and I don't have the skill to make it.
I would be interested in talking about it if you or anyone else came up with it. I find the seal very aesthetically pleasing.
It's possible to think that astrology is useful even if the positions of celestial bodies don't actually matter.

As far as I can tell - correct me if I'm wrong - management is just easier compared to (say) manual labor in a factory. They're also paid more per expected hour.
What?
Why did you get in trouble? (That is, what was the stated reason)
Even with the example you mentioned - cmd+backspace 5 times vs. "5dd" - I'm surprised that you can't see why some people would prefer the latter. (Also, if you're on the last line, I think "4dk" works.)
It would be nice if the default keybindings were listed somewhere in the wiki. Did I miss them?
That's fair. I just sometimes get the sense that people equate being "logical" to being very hardheaded and skeptical, only preferring well-established solutions. There is nothing inherently illogical about trying…
