@maunzikation Ĥaha ok vergessen das CW zu entfernen ^^ sorry
oh noooooo :( people should just stop doing that. CN transmisia for an anecdote under the readmore, you don't have to read it
@maunzikation wäääh, super //o\\
Es ist echt so schlimm. Ich hab auch noch eine ganze Kiste voller schlimmer Beispiele aus der Mathematik aber ich geh jetzt lieber erstmal raus ^^
Plus I could upvote all the "Hello, I am a turtle"-like sentences because hello, that's what keeps me motivated
While far from addressing the underlying problems, a way to up/downvote sentences in Duolingo would be super useful. It's enough to see a sexist/heteronormative/cisnormative/annoying sentence once, let me practice that thing in a different context so I don't have to ragequit.
@maunzikation Reminds me of the python video training I tried to watch yesterday but the guy used the BMI as an example for the whole lecture (and explained that it is for calculating if you are "too fat" or not). People always kill learning possibilites with shit like this.
You know, all those people who have to deal with this kind of shit don't need your advice on how to adjust to this hurtful and useless culture.
They do need you to use your mansplaining powers to educate your fellow white guys about how their attitude is creating a really bad atmosphere and is killing creativity and curiosity and is making people feel bad.
Soo, the ratio of people who just listen or contribute their experience, to mansplaining dudes who tell me to "just ignore it" (it = the awful atmosphere in tech-world that is killing curiosity and is keeping not-super-confident people from joining the club) is much better than on the birdsite.
But still... . Just ignore everything and everyone that hurts you? Wow, thank you guys, very helpful advice nobody asked for.
@Jules i love making assholes uncomfortable. i'm an autistic trans woman, so this isnt hard to do.
any time i encounter a thing i dont know i will just boldly declare it and ask for help. usually this works out fine.
but sometimes i get one of those assholes and i say "wow, youre really gonna shit on me for not knowing something? you have the opportunity to see someone understand/discover/see something for the first time and you spend that being an asshole instead?"
it works

@Jules I like the Recurse Center's guidance on this: https://www.recurse.com/manual
@Jules For sure. Reminds me of this cartoon via https://twitter.com/b0rk/status/846864384731365376 https://bne.social/media/3TBHKyVFxhHvUfg7n1A
Now learning about python iterators and loops. I like it :D #pcode
@Jules as someone who is self taught, every day at my job is a nightmare for me because i never know what's "ok" to not know
@maunzikation falls der Satz irgendwie verständlich ist m)
