They are playing Civilization with spy units. All the direct armies in the world don't matter if the damage is being done by like 50 people and a bunch of bot accounts.

This command will literally overwrite the file that you do whenever you try to edit it. You need two >> to append at the end of a file, but it's super-duper hard to put text in the middle of a file from the terminal. That is why people use editors, for sure. Now that I think about it, there probably is some psychopath who uses the actual command line as an editor. They're probably more elitist than Vim users lol.

This could be a long ride

The utilitarian framework of ethics provides an answer in this specific case, if you make an assumption about the level of suffering the people will endure while being run over by the train. If the suffering of the one man when he gets hit by the train is equal to the suffering to any one of the five men when they get hit by the train, then is makes no difference that the one man will not die. Utilitarianism states that the greatest good is human pleasure, and the greatest bad is human suffering. In this case, the one man being immortal increases his capacity to suffer, while the five men can only experience the suffering once. This means that the one man will experience human suffering equal to the five men after five cycles of the tram, which will take 50 seconds. If I wasn't sure that I could break the chain and free the one man within 50 seconds, then the correct course of action is to let the five men die because human suffering will be greater overall for this system after 50 seconds, at the cost of one unit every ten seconds. If the one man could be sedated and experience no pain until the chains could be cut, then we are effectively performing a kind of surgery on the one man, and long periods of sedation would be justified while his chains are being cut.

He was the best

I know he is a gamer and played The Witcher 3 extensively. I think he must have played that game in full costume at least once, like some kind of video game / tv / book / real life inception.

Man, I have wanted to learn Emacs for a while, but those shortcut keys kill my hands and soul in general. I know about Evil mode, but for whatever reason I just gotta use default controls when I play a new game. The graphics are terrible, but they say that the gameplay for emacs is pretty great. I guess you could say that Emacs is the Dark Souls of text editors.

Mouse doodle

At first I thought this was a 3d printer with layer lines based on the colors. I was having a real, "Jesus on a piece of toast," moment before seeing which community this was. Nice art, I like it.
