    We honestly should rename GIMP. It’s a bad name. I think a new and better acronym would substantially improve brand recognition. Something like:

    Free Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging

    FUCKBOI

                How do you come to that conclusion? He was a guy in a full on latex-BDSM suit on a leash, that they kept in a box in the basement.

                We don’t learn much about his character or mental ability in the movie. It is much more likely, that he was called a gimp in the BDSM sense, that is also mentioned in the Wiktionary entry that was linked here.

      Procreate means to reproduce.

      The counterpoint references yhe fact that the GNU version is Gimp which is a term also used to refer to a submissive in an extreme fetish related domain.

            It’s less typing but technically it’s one more request to the server which you have to wait for to fail before the correct request can be fucked, so it might be faster to do it the correct way from the get-go. Especially if you’ve done it before and you can just Ctrl+R and find it in the history, or you have a git alias (e.g. git phead)

              No, your local Git knows the branch isn’t tracking any upstream branch, so it never makes a request to the server.

        That’s the Wiktionary page for gimp. The program is called GIMP. It’s an acronym.
