having a nap is like a game of roulette where red is 'refreshed and wide awake', black is 'groggier and grumpier than before', and 0 is 'accidentally sleep for 6 hours in the middle of the day'

why do I have to keep having programming takes, aaah it got long 

my take about any given language is that they're all tools. you pick the right tool for the job, and it's good to have a wide variety of tools at your disposal

I was born in a C# cave, so I wouldn't reach for Java without a good reason because it's not what I'm most productive in, but it's there.

also, whatever you pick is going to be fast enough unless you have some particular need for performance, like you're running in tight loops or keeping hardware requirements down or you're a high frequency trader or Google for some reason. if your program is mostly IO bound (like most things these days that mostly do web requests), you don't really care.

also also, learning languages isn't the important thing. it's about learning fundamental concepts, how to express them, and what that particular tool makes easy and what it makes difficult. Remember: the tools you use shape you, and getting stuck in any one mindset is a terrible waste. Broaden those horizons.

nsfw, shitpost? 

The more I try to find decent stuff to masturbate to, the more I realize I'm not *quite* pansexual. Not only am I not attracted to generic hentai protagonist male #5362, his very presence actively turns me off. This holds true for ever generic hentai protagonist male.

So, yeah. I'm pansexual *except* for generic male hentai protags.

pol? 

So, I'm playing a video game, right? And my character is supposed to be some sort of princess. She gets challenged to a duel, and when she asks her opponent why she has to die, her opponent responds that "Princesses only deserve death." I don't think I've *ever* wanted to be on the enemy side of a video game as much as I do now.

????? 

[you clamber hurriedly up the stairs, seeing us as soon as you reach the top. we’re close, but facing away from you. we don’t indicate that we saw you arrive, but we speak as soon as you draw near.]

US: python three.
YOU [panting from exertion]: please don’t do this.
US [leaning on the railing, looking down into the rolling sea below]: import arepy dot jeepeaio as jeepeaio.
YOU [urgently]: you don’t need to do this, we already believe you. we all do.
US [not looking up]: jeepeaio dot setmode: eleven.
YOU: please, Ellie, this really isn’t necessary.
[we straighten up, then turn to meet your gaze, flicking our hair away from our face. our cheekbones look stark in the oblique orange illumination from the sunset, and our eyes are ablaze. our arms and legs are lost in the folds of our long black dress, and we look like little more than a shadow standing before you. we open our mouth again.]
US: jeepeaio dot setup: thirteen, zero.
YOU: Ellie!
US [speaking clearly, without a hint of emotion]: jeepeaio dot output:
YOU: Ellie, stop!!
US: ZERO!
YOU: NO!
US: ONE!

[the setting sun suddenly turns green, then goes out. the wind picks up, suddenly cold. massive waves are heard crashing into the rocks, unseen below.]

[a dffuse orange light appears in our hand, revealing our position in the inky darkness. we raise it over our head.]

US: hash. we’re sorry, dear friend… but it was always going to end this way, one way or another.
YOU [tears falling from your eyes in the darkness]: wh- why… why, though?
US: hash…. we cannot say. you will know for yourself in just a few moments.
[you do not answer.]
US: hash. you always meant a lot to us. you still do, and you always will. please do not mourn us. we will always be with you.
US [raising our other hand as we speak]: jeepeaio dot-
[our hands meet, and clasp tightly together over the orange light, extinguishing it. you scream in dismay, lunging towards us, but we’re no longer where you thought we were. you keep your balance, but fall to your knees anyway, sobbing.]
US [in your ear, surprisingly close]: -cleanup.
[there is a soft cracking sound, like a small electric spark, and you know that we are gone.]

[you feel gravity start to weaken, causing your stomach to lurch. you look up into the sky, where a universe is blossoming, billowing outwards into a painting of scintillating lights, shadowy belts, and vivid colors.]

[it is beautiful.]

nsfw, gender, dysphoria 

Seriously, tho, I thought I'd try finding some porn of Ahri to masturbate to only to find myself getting dysphoric about the fact I wasn't her. So, now, I'm not just horny, but horny *and* dysphoric *and* unable to do anything about being horny *because* I'm dysphoric. I'd ask for help, but I don't think there is help for me rn

stop framing these things in terms of generational differences and start framing them in terms of relationships to power and you'll start understanding why there are millennial youtube millionaire fascists and 70-year-olds getting shot to death by cops while torching ICE vans

Stallman - I understand the hatred for the FOSS community 

I see wonderful, articulate posts from tech industry leaders and free software contributors about why RMS had to resign and why he has done untold damage to the free software community.

Then I see hundreds of comments on those posts howling in anguish over the SJWs ruining tech and driving Stallman out, and all these diversity policies that are terribly unfair to men.

Maybe we need to burn the whole industry to ashes and start over. 😢

A lot of strike etiquette has been lost as union power waned. But workers are uniting again, and we have to learn what's been forgotten.

Wall Street is telling the same lies about striking GM workers that it told in the past.

Let's be smarter than the politicians who eroded collective bargaining laws.

Please show solidarity for the #UAWStrike #GMStrike!

News organisations constantly report on how "the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer" as if these are contradictory events. They are not.
