682I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible
I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs. this should go without saying but if you're a minor please do not interact with anything lewd/NSFW that I post
I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time
I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

@rowan @ilobmirt in Python this is even more cursed because sideEffect(value) only gets evaluated once which is a Terrible Fucking Behavior and lets you do shit like this:
def internal_append(value, list_ = []):
list_.append(value)
return list_
internal_append(1) # -> [1]
internal_append(2) # -> [1, 2]
internal_append(3) # -> [1, 2, 3]
I actually think that JS’s behavior is really nice though

@rowan I want more artists to deliberately fuck with my sense of genre and suddenly confront me with genres that I find cringe or unlistenable but somehow make me like them. like when Infected Mushroom used to fluidly switch from psytrance to a fucking bluegrass banjo solo and then incorporate that back into the psytrance and somehow make it sound really good

mioontje@girlcock.clubHey cuties, I set up a Ko-fi! 😇
If you like my photos and ever feel like supporting me, whether it’s for coffee or prettier heels, here’s the link:

kasdeya@splatt9990 ugh, that sucks about the footguns. I feel like it wouldn’t be that hard to make a modern minimal Lisp from the ground up. which, I guess is kinda what Fennel is
also thanks for the info about REPLs! Emacs intimidates me a lot - I’ve already learned Vim and I know how hard that was lol, so I don’t know if I want to learn a second arcane editor :P but I might give rlwrap a try tbh

kasdeyaI was starting to get the feeling that Fennel’s functional style was at odds with the imperative Lua that it was acting as a thin wrapper on top of. so I’ve been learning Scheme lately instead, because Lisps are still interesting to me but I was starting to think that maybe Fennel was giving me a bad impression of what a Lisp can be
unfortunately Scheme has problems that I would consider much worse than Fennel, and those are:
a lot of its functions have strange legacy behavior and there are often multiple ways to do the same things, some of which have footguns that you have to memorize. for example just look at how complicated a simple equality check is in this language
its “documentation” is also its standard, which is written in very hard-to-understand academic-speak
since Scheme is a standard for a language and not a language per se, its ecosystem is fragmented between a bunch of different interpreters and compilers which have subtly different behavior from each other - some (but not all) of which include extra libraries on top of the standard library. so I really wonder how portable Scheme code is even between these different interpreters/compilers, let alone between different operating systems
the Scheme interpreter that I’m using, called CHICKEN, has a really bad REPL that can’t even handle me using the arrow keys. I was trying to find a better REPL but searching for “Scheme REPL” and “Scheme CHICKEN REPL” gives no useful results
I wonder if there’s a modern #Lisp that doesn’t have these problems, and also ideally has good tooling (like a good LSP or whatever the Lisp equivalent of an LSP is). I’ve deliberately avoided learning Common Lisp because I get the feeling that it’s going to have even more chaotic legacy behavior, footguns, etc. which I find very ugly in a programming language

kasdeyaI think that pacman‘s command-line syntax is incredibly arcane, difficult to document or explain, and makes it way too easy to bork your entire install by accidentally typing one wrong letter
but I will give it one thing: every single time I have to type sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove it makes me wish I could just type sudo pacman -Syu. it’s very very terse and fast to type

salad_bar_breath@todon.nlOne of my favorite takes ever on "male vs. female socialization" ever, that I still use in my analysis to this day, was one that was purported by Jesse Early (the YouTuber). It goes something like:
It's not simply that people assigned male are socialized as male and people assigned female are socialized female. Rather, all persons are both taught the rules and expectations for males as well as females. Then, the go out in the world and police themselves and others accordingly.
Put simply, we are all given both male and female socialization.

@pharmafemboy I don’t know anything about what I’m talking about so take this with a public lobby of salt but:
it seems to me like selling pics online is very oversaturated, to the point that people are filling every available online space trying to get interest for their pics in particular. you might have some luck if you pick a niche kink and can do it well, but the best approach there might be to work backwards: find an online community that allows promotion, and see if it already has a lot of people advertising pics/videos/etc.
also since you’d be starting out without much of a (paying) following, you might consider offering things like personalized voice recordings, or sexting, or other things that make the person paying for it feel special and like they got some of your attention and affection
with IRL sex work I honestly have even less of a clue, but I used to follow a lot of subreddits where sex workers would talk about their jobs and what it was like to do sex work. the big one is r/SexWorkers but also look at all of these. I definitely learned a lot about sex work by lurking in some of these
also have you tried making a post on https://tryst.link/ ? that seems to be the most popular site for escorts, or it was when I was following this community
I hope this is helpful! and I hope you can get a liveable wage somehow. we all deserve that, bare minimum

kasdeyahere are two #unicode web tools that I’ve found incredibly helpful over the years:
What Unicode character is this ? – paste in one or more characters and it will tell you exactly what they are
Shapecatcher – draw something MSPaint-style and this will try to find a Unicode character that matches what you drew!

About a month ago, i posted a message to the sumud flotilla, hoping to give them courage & comfort as they set sail
Today, i found out they not only received the message, but they wrote it on the side of one of the boats and directed it at the Palestinian people
Greta put her face in front of it
When i was a child, my father helped invent trans-Atlantic undersea fiberoptic repeaters
He'd be so mad to know im using his invention like this
