> cc

Doing control+o in insert mode temporarily places you into normal mode so that you can execute one normal-mode command, and then go back to insert mode again--no need to hit 'i' again.

So, instead of 'cc', 'S'.

> see a swift end to the conflict

I'll tell you a swifter method: rest of the world attack the US efforts and send them home. Then lock up the presidumb [sic] somewhere.

They stirred the hornets' nest. Now the rest of the world are getting stung, slowly dragging into an all-out war.

The rest of us could really use a regime change now--and it's not in Iran.

Which part did you read as 'desire to control'?

I badly wanted no other market to develop but synthesised meat, to produce something at par with natural one.

The industry has successfully marketed and packaged meat as "that thing you buy", hiding the immense and unconscionable cruelty which sentient beings are subjected to.

Here you go: "The power of a positive workplace culture! I found myself genuinely struggling to maintain a professional composure during today's standup after reading this. It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. Grateful for a team that brings both excellence and joy to the daily grind. #WorkCulture #ProfessionalGrowth #TeamSpirit"

Not sure what you mean by 'seriously'. People don't dish out this level of advice for fun--they do mean business; they are serious.

Input: I took a dump

Output: I just completed a major deliverable and successfully offloaded some significant internal pressure. It’s all about streamlining processes and focusing on high-impact output. #Productivity #Efficiency #GrowthMindset

Jury trials are a colossal and disproportionate waste of time. Jury trials have it place, but most of the time is spent on jury selection, theatrics, and deliberation--all this cost dearly, both in terms of time and money.

Thanks to its high cost and unpredictability, laughable inventions like "plea bargains" exist, only to selectively prey on the vulnerable.

It's not perfect (nor are jury trials), but when it comes to truth discovery and arriving at a proportionate sentence, as long as all parties are fairly represented, one without jury trials should be just as effective.

It's not like chickens chose this way of life. Such breeds were developed for the specific purpose of meat, with no regard for their wellbeing. Don't shame the chickens for what human bastards do.
