I don't know, as a ttrpg'er, I'm being someone else every two weeks for three hours are a time. ;)

My least favorite is

Just be yourself!

Even in grade school I knew this was hogwash. I didn't act the same in class as during recess, or in church as when at the dinner table. Exactly which me was I supposed to be? When someone asks, "What am I supposed to do?" They are really asking, "How should I behave?" And if you've never been on a date before, or this is your first job interview, then it's not obvious.

A: "So, how did the interview go?"

B: "Not so well, he threw my resume away, in front of me, and ordered me to leave."

A: "What? Why?"

B: "Well, I did just as your said, I was being myself. I walked in, gave him the ol' finger guns, then started with my best fart joke."

A: "Why the hell would you do that at an interview?"

B: "Because that routine always slays in the dorms and I was trying to be myself."

Agreed. This sounds good but immediately falls apart at the first scrutiny. It's the same with "Don't be a dick." Everyone nods their heads and thinks, "Oh, that's so obvious!" Of course, everyone agrees because they're imagining what they believe is 'evil' or 'being a dick' and just assume everyone else agrees. Imagine their surprised-Pikachu face when they learn that other humans use different criteria.

But, if you think you can sum up thousands of years of ethics and legal theories with one pithy sentence, then go for it.

I wondered about this for years and years, never understanding, especially, since "having cake" and "eating cake" are used interchangeably. But, I finally figured it out! In this sense, the "having" is equivalent to "keeping" or "being in possession of."

Examples:

• "What's it like having a Mercedes Benz?"
• "The Smiths have a very nice home."

No eating implied!

Therefore, the saying is more inline with "You can't keep (to show off or admire) your cake, and eat it, too."

I've never seen that in a .gitignore, seems straightforward enough. I guess most people prefer to use the git config option, but this works!

Ahh, to be only 30 again!

Cool, thanks for sharing the repo. I'm reading through your vimrc file, I always find these interesting. I like what you did in "Open new line and stay in normal mode," "Exit insert mode faster," and "Navigate buffers." I'm going add those now!

I did not know you could do that! I work on several hosts that do not allow me to install (via their package manager) software, but if all I have to do is scp an appimage file and run it, then that problem may be solved!

Do you use any of the encrypted secrets features? That's one of the big differences between chezmoi and the other options.

I've never heard of cp -faTs before. I did some experimenting and was surprised that it was recursive. I thought you needed an -R for that, but you don't. So, cp -faRTs appears to do the same thing, but is funnier.

In any case, thanks for sharing your repo. I take it, that after the initial install, you can just repeatedly git pull https://git.sr.ht/~igemnace/vim-config and then run vim-config/scripts/install-cfg to keep your config files up-to-date.
