Vim, or neovim if you want to put some leg work in for vi with modern features.

I prefer my accolades in the form of bonus cheques. I've got a git history for anyone else that matters

ToonStruck, remastered, or the shelved sequel ressurected. I'd like Burst to (exist again and) handle the development because they did a fantastic job the first time around!

I was with you up until the climate controls.

Any control you can find in a 1997 Hyundai Accent should be physical.

Anything else can be hidden behind a touchscreen because I'm not going to use it while driving anyway.

My big request would be to drop the USB cable. I don't know why I need to connect both USB and Bluetooth. I'd love to just leave my cell in my bag where it belongs instead of advertising yet another reason why someone should smash my windows in!

Problem: ambiguity of date terms like saying "this Wednesday" on a Thursday. Is the speaker referring to yesterday or the coming Wednesday six days from now? Not always clear.

Solution: I propose standardising our understanding of the week as beginning Monday, ending Sunday. At any point in the current week, "this whateverday" refers to that day in the current week, no matter if it's past or future. "Next whateverday" refers to that day in the upcoming Monday through Sunday week.

"This Wednesday", on a Thursday, is referring to yesterday.

"Next Wednesday", on a Thursday, is referring to a day six days from now.

(I also suggest adopting ISO 8601, writing dates in year-month-day order to avoid that ugly ambiguity.)

Thanks to Britain, we now have swearing on the Internet.

I bought a popcorn bowl that turned out to be terrible. It came with a leaflet coupon saying if I left a 5-star review, they would send me another bowl for free.

The comment I tried to leave was a short, fair, polite statement along the lines of 'this bowl doesn't meet the claims X and Y on the description, and came with an offer to trade a good review for another bowl for free." That review got flagged by the automod and was ultimately rejected. If I recall, the rejection message wasn't even specific on what rule my review broke.

Root access should be available from the moment my purchase payment clears. I paid, it's my device.

The dietary illuminati hid their food pyramid atop the unfinished pyramid of the one dollar bill! It's pyramids all the way down!
