OTOH if you have to ask, then a couple possibilities need to be considered. Maybe they are already so well appointed, a twenty dollar trinket is just a waste of our planet’s dwindling resources. Maybe you know them so poorly, it really isn’t appropriate to be buying them a gift in the first place.
What we all want for our birthday is to feel like we are special to the people in our lives. That they know us, care about us, and wish us well. That’s not the sort of thing you can ask for; if you have to ask, it devalues it tremendously.

Votes mean less on Lemmy than they did on Reddit. So we can sweat it less what people do with them. Not a big deal.
- Comment on 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached? 2 weeks ago:
They do. That’s why voter suppression is such a big factor in every election.

I don’t think that your assumptions are true. Non-voters tend to be more progressive than voters, because conservatives vote religiously out of a sense of duty and responsibility, and progressives vote when they feel like it.

- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 3 weeks ago:
The Dungeon already sort of gave up on the original design. Philip Price wrote The City and the extension mechanism that things were supposed to plug into, but The Dungeon didn’t use any of it. So it was a one-way trip… Except you couldn’t actually transfer characters, it was broken. :-/

Alternatively, why wait twice as long for your python code to execute as you have to?

I use Blender for video editing, and as long as I never use another video editing package, I am sure to remain perfectly happy with Blender.

Truthiness is so fundamental, all values have a truthiness, whether they are bool or not. Even in C,
int x = value(); if (!x) x_is_not_zero();is valid and idiomatic. - Comment on Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len() 4 weeks ago:
The main thing
notis for is coercing a truthy value into an actual bool.
