      I don’t know what exactly this will do, but I know enough about the terminal to get the feeling this is a bad idea

        It searches for a process named vim using grep (which searches within provided lines), but since grep vim also contains vim, we then exclude grep too, so only the actual vim process gets found without the grep vim process. Sounds a lot like this post, doesn’t it?

          Well that’s anticlimactic. Here I thought grep would continuously ping ps aux and softlock the terminal or something

        It’ll give a list of processes with vim in the name. You could also just pgrep vim but that’s too easy.

    Time to get a gigantic sticker with 2 point font stating stickers are prohibited in the corner, and the rest whatever the fuck I want. Probably buttholes.

    Sorry that’s not allowed either. Read the other sticker:

    ALL STICKERS EXCEPT STICKERS ABOUT STICKERS BEING PROHIBITED EXCEPT STICKERS ABOUT STICKERS BEING PROHIBITED BEING PROHIBITED ARE PROHIBITED.

    I’ll be a bore, but this is just printed on a black and white printer. This is not a sticker.

          Does the application of glue to paper not make that paper a sticker?

            I’m not an english speaker. In my region, a sticker is considered to be paper that initially has a sticky layer. The paper that needs to be glued with glue from a tube is just paper.

              You can absolutely call a glued paper which made to look as a sticker and glued to the surface a sticker.

                You can but you’d be wrong. I hereby declare that a sticker is defined as having a back layer that you easily peel off, exposing the adhesive, before applying. If you create something to that effect, sticker. Otherwise, it’s just glued on paper.

                  K. But the person applying glue to paper and setting said paper would then be called a sticker. And the way language works, in a generation or two, the word sticker will then reference that glue-paper arrangement.

                In my language it will sound like “Sticked advertisement” or “Sticked piece of paper”. A sticker is a paper with a sticky layer that is applied to this paper at the factory. I’m just talking about the difference in languages.

                  What if I remove the sticker (without tearing it somehow) and then reapply it with glue? Is it still a sticker?

              You are right, I am just being pedantic.

        A piece of paper that sticks to most things is a sticker. Because toilet paper will stick to damp things despite not being a sticker.
