Lenticular Photo Used To Secretly Convey Hot Line Number To Abused Kids 13 years ago

I'm not sure what to make of the sentence at the top of the ad.

Sometimes, child abuse is only visible to the child suffering it.

If you have failed to grok vim, ditch the arrow keys 13 years ago

I was also unable to switch until I forced myself to go cold turkey. Putting this into your vimrc will disable the arrow keys

  noremap <up> <nop>
  noremap <down> <nop>
  noremap <left> <nop>
  noremap <right> <nop>
  inoremap <up> <nop>
  inoremap <down> <nop>
  inoremap <left> <nop>
  inoremap <right> <nop>
