  It’s not unholy, it’s just less holy. There is still one hole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are you ladies doing tonight ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Wrong.
  It’s called swamp water, and as kids we loved it. Mixem all up!

  I’m not sure how you measure if bait was successful, but it is indeed a sad state of affairs

  That was a bit of hyperbole on my part.

  The baby has hands, the hands are on the floor, the hands are soon to be in the baby’s mouth. That’s what I was getting at. When a baby is on the floor, floor dirt will be getting in the baby’s mouth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gotta get those tickets!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As in go play outside, and be with friends.
  Not as in put your face on the arcade floor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gotta get those tickets!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Right?

  My concern is the cleanliness of that patch of floor though.

  The only complaint I have with this is that you can’t control which vents are open when you turn on front defrost. I prefer a button for each vent.

  You mean the other reply you gave me where you either misquoted it or you misunderstood the study? And you artificially limited the scope to a single kind of hurt which wouldn’t even capture the kind of hurt we’re discussing here?
  Actually I tried to find the study that you’re talking about and I can’t find it. Did he actually do a study on this? Afaict he is just a self-help author. I cant even find any formal education related to the subject.

  Meanwhile if you do a quick search for if unresolved trauma leads to violence, you see a ton of research supporting that.

  50/50 is a HUGE correlation.
  Incidence of DV is way less than 50/50 in the general population.

  Besides, it’s not just DV or SA, it’s also smaller things. You can hurt people without rising to the level of assault.

  Hey, we’ve got an edgelord over here. Hey everyone, look at the edgelord! He’s edging!

  I figured, I was being silly 😛

  If you lived through 2006 then you’re too old to enjoy having a couple of highschool goths fawn over you 😏

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simpler times?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Hurt people hurt people” is a common saying for a reason; dealing with trauma is difficult and not dealing with it often leads to problems.
  That’s not to say that victims always become victimizers, it’s to say that the cycle of violence often begins with violence.

  To be fair, it was made by a single dude. Not even a small indie studio, just one guy.

  It doesn’t make it more fun, but it makes it more impressive and deserving of slack.

  As much as I want it to run tall wise, there is clear evolutionary pressure to run longwise so the dog doesn’t fall out of the bun.
  There is no way the hotdog could evolve sanding upright

  I struggle to believe that someone who writes English as well as you, and is familiar with the subject can misread what I’ve written so grossly, except by intention.

  using someone’s preferred pronouns doesn’t harm anyone.

  This post is about being made to use someone’s preferred pronouns. The context of this whole discussion is the usage of preferred pronouns. The pronouns being discussed are preferred pronouns. The harm being discussed is harm (or lack thereof) in using them.

  I don’t think that that equivalence matters here, or that they don’t care that they’re being hypocritical.

  We can still enjoy a meme about how they are hypocrites and how their stated beliefs crumble under the smallest pressure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proportional reaction⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Switch is good if you only need to compare equals when selecting a value.
  Although some languages make it way more powerful, like python match.
  but I generally dislike python despite of this, and I generally dislike switch because the syntax and formatting is just too unlike the rest of the languages.

  Generally I prefer the clear brevity of:

  var foo=
      x>100 ? bar :
      x>50 ? baz :
      x>10 ? qux :
      quxx;
  

  Over

  var foo;
  if(x>100) {
      foo=bar;
  } else if(x>50) {
      foo=baz;
  } else if(x>10) {
      foo=qux;
  } else {
      foo=quxx
  }
  

  Which doesn’t really get any better if you remove the optional (but recommended) braces.
  Heck, I even prefer ternary over some variations of switch for equals conditionals, like the one in Java:

  var foo;
  switch(x) {
  case 100:
      foo=bar;
      break;
  case 50:
      foo=baz;
      break;
  case 10:
      foo=qux;
      break;
  default:
      foo=quxx;
  }
  

  But some languages do switch better than others (like python as previously mentioned), so there are certainly cases where that’d probably be preferable even to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proportional reaction⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, when you gotta pick a value from a bunch of options, it’s either if/elseif/else, ternary, switch/case, or a map/dict.

  Ternary generally has the easiest to read format of the options, unless you put it all on one line like a crazy person.
