Assimil courses are always a good choice

Sure, adults have the right to smoke if they want

Even if it forces everyone in the vicinity to inhale that crap? Smoking has one distinct feature in that it harms not just the user, but everyone around as well.

It creates such a calming atmosphere. The grey sky during the day, the darkness setting earlier and the white sky far into the evening when it's snowing is so therapeutic for me for some reason. It gets me in a state where it's enough just to be alive.

And the biting cold is such a pleasant sensation, especially when going for a run. And there are no mosquitos. Winter is all I like manfested in nature.

Redguards are from Yokuda, Nords are from Atmora, Imperials come from the Nedes and Bretons are a Nede/Aldmer mix. Each human race has a distinct origin, what's controversial about that? They're 'human' in the sense that they're not Mer or Beastfolk.

But Nords have identical buffs/debuffs according to that sheet.

Nowhere in your link is it said that "knowledge and efficiency" was lost by getting rid of the farmers deemed "kulaks". What is mentioned though is that grain was being massively taken out of Ukraine, and the borders being sealed so that starving Ukranians wouldn't leave, and that even after the famine started, the USSR kept exporting grain rather than use it to feed the people.

The holodomor was a targeted weakening of Ukranians that could've been prevented if Stalin wanted it. Painting it as a story of commies taking away from the people that became rich because they were the best at what they do and that caused a collapse is sickening, and I really hope you try and reconsider whether the source where you got that is worth your attention and what were the motives behind twisting something as horrific as the holodomor into a cartoon story about evil commies and honest efficient workers.

I have the opposite situation, I had to willingly stop myself from typing :w while using Word. And I installed the vim extension in vscode, which leads to me typing :w when using someone else's setup.

I actually like the taste of black coffee. At one time I also had decaf coffee so that I could drink it in the evening!

You might be interested in Clozemaster for language learning. It has collections of most frequent words where you get a sentence with a word missing that you have to input. That way you just get blasted with hundreds and thousands of sentences in your target language.

but in dota, really no one is a "healer"

And you'd rarely say "DPS", you'd call them carries, but I was trying to simplify the terminology for people who never played dota.

I haven't played dota in years, I was active between 2012-2017, so maybe only the bad things were saved in my memory. I mean, maybe I just suck, but I distinctly remember that when the carry sucks, fingers are more often than not pointed at the support, and when I prevent ganks, pull the creeps, double the stacks in the jungle and so forth, nobody gives a damn because only the late game is memorable.

In DotA it's not about boring gameplay as much as it is about flat out abuse. The enemy ganked you because your DPS pushed the lane too far? "Noob support". Your DPS ran in like rambo 1v5 and died? "Stupid support where are the heals". Often when your DPS goes rambo mode and changes his mind, your job is to get him out by dying instead because you're less valuable. And when you do that, they call you retarded because of you kill-death ratio. And of course when everything is going well, nobody notices you.

It's a tough and ungrateful life, but someone's gotta do it.

But people like them, no? Just to be clear, how people can enjoy autotuned mumbling about money and hookers is beyond me, but they are. Don't know about other genres, but in metal you still have a lot of bands that make complex and beautiful music (especially in symphonic metal), but not as many people listen to that, and often not because they don't know about alternatives. My own brother listens to mumble rap and other rappers that write lyrics that can be rearranged and you wouldn't notice because the only thing they do is rhyme, without building up to anything, and it's his choice, he likes listening to the same two songs in 50 variants.

It is very easy to find smaller bands that produce music with actual effort, and you can shove crappy music all you want to someone who doesn't like it, and it won't magically make them a fan, so the prevalence of autotuned simulations of strokes are due to people actually liking them, no?

I try not to judge these people too much because I myself often listen to extreme trve kvlt black metal which sounds like a vacuum cleaner to the uninitiated, so I tell myself that it's something like that. I never convince myself of that, but I try.
