more "why, codecademy" 

I just ended a bug report with "Also, the forum doesn't exist".

Also, it didn't work with python 3 stuff even though the course should have been changed to that.

Also, when it worked, it still failed me, and I only passed when I produced some other error in a misguided effort to fix things.

I'm definitely amused, well.

more "why, codecademy" 

Okay I think I'd be super confused if I didn't already know what functions are and that they return stuff (it somehow wasn't explained but there was a thing where you had to make something return False? Which would be super weird to do if you didn't know what that stuff was supposed to be?)

And… Codecademy used to be more actually writing stuff, I think? I'm still stuck in the basics, but well, here right now… there are a lot of puzzles that are thinking only, like "if you think that thing will do the thing, make this string Y" or "fill in the blank to make the thing do the thing"
I'm not sure what I think of that. It's… weird? It feels misplaced? Like I guess that kind of thing is nice, but why replace actual doing stuff with that?

Codecademy is so rude, omg. No, Codecademy, I am not there anymore, you bored me to death by trying to teach me "not" and not letting me skip it. There's so much that I have to learn, and that I'd love to "get back to coding" for, but yeah no not that. computerfairi.es/media/AQiN_Nm

@AriadneAnarchist I would consider it, but I don't think I could handle moving to another country right now. I'm already pretty overwhelmed with everything. (Außerdem find ich WGs voll ok und will gar nicht alleine wohnen, nur… das Angebot an WGs ist hier halt auch manchmal frustrierend :)

And then, smaller but not super tiny town that I might want to move to: 300€ definitely get you at least 15m² and I've seen up to 26 for that, and I haven't seen any flat shares that don't have a living room there. (There are so many flat shares without living rooms in Vienna, it is incredibly sad.)

395€ for a 13m² room in shared flat o.O It's super common, actually, but it's just soooo much and I'm always a bit surprised even though theoretically I know that this isn't at all extraordinary in this city.

And I don't see any option to change the language anywhere. This is just mean.

maunzikation - Whaaaat, Robots Need Love Too automatically selected German as the language I want to play in (._.) AND the German translation only has she and he as pronouns? Noooooo :< computerfairi.es/media/vtECCe1

Hello yes I'm not okay but I downloaded all the android games that have a nonbinary protagonist according to queerlyrepresentme so that's something.
