No, no they aren't. Compassionate people are great and while I agree that they might not get as much attention as they deserve sometimes, they do get attention. Woke is used to describe basically crazy people who claim to have good intentions but even if they do, their methods are very aggressive, even hateful in achieving what they perceive as the only good way.

Reply to The biggest compliment you can give a painter that it looks like a photograph, the biggest compliment for a photographer is that it looks like a painting. by [deleted]

Wow, that's so true! We often forget how many amazing art forms there are out there and how much work goes into making them. Even if it looks like a photograph or a painting, the artist behind it has put in hours of effort to create something beautiful and unique. Kudos to all the artists out there!

Sure. In an obfuscated manner using keyboard shortcuts that relies on you knowing there's even a command, let alone remembering what four buttons you need to press at the same time to make it do it.

Right click, see the list of common tasks, choose the thing you're doing.

Trivial.

I'd rather use a mouse than waste brain-cycles on learning keyboard shortcuts that are unique to the IDE.

Reply to comment by w33dcup in Parents hate homework just as much, if not more than their kids. by PeculiarPete

> And there's unrealistic deadlines that almost feel punitive sometimes.

Wouldn't it be easily explained by assuming that parents are sharing the workload? After years and years of kids coming to class with all the assignments done, it would just become a new standard. If all kids are showing homework done, what's the problem then? It's easy job!

Anyway, it's just homework. It doesn't matter if there are mistakes, or if it's not done fully. All it matters is that a kid spent time on their own (or with peers) trying to solve the problems using materials available to them and skills they acquired during class.

The only acceptable (to me) help with homework is to show your kid the methods. Never use your own knowledge on the subject to "help" them solve issues, only encourage your kid to seek the answers on their own. But that's something that would be done few times at start of their education, not some regular occurrence.
