woke up to a bunch of replies to a thread I was in last night, but one of the people in the replies is on an instance blocked(?) by computerfairies, so it's very confusing

Please help out with my important linguistics research again because I fucked up and didn't notice the first box was for the poll title.

Hi. I'm that kind of furry trash that will play ALMOST ANY RACE just to avoid playing a human, and fantasy games in which human is the only option appeal to me far less than games where there's actually some variety.

crushbot. you register your crushes with it via DMs, and if there's ever a mutual crush it notifies both parties via DM. Instance admins would run them, and they would automatically federate crushes to the crushee's instance's local crushbot via DMs.

A reminder of how we got here:

http://gender.stanford.edu/news/2011/researcher-reveals-how-%E2%80%9Ccomputer-geeks%E2%80%9D-replaced-%E2%80%9Ccomputergirls%E2%80%9D

Echos of personality profiles selecting for "disinterest in people" are heard in former Googler's memo citing women's "stronger interest in people" as justification for lack of representation in tech.

Along the same lines, making programming instruction contingent on maths amounts to a "fake geek girl" test. If you didn't become a "software engineer" by way of college-level calculus, you have no right to be here.

Part of why I want to get into software verification is that I think software SHOULD be verified and proven it's safe! Too much stuff is released with incredibly dangerous bugs!
