software tinkerer and aspiring rationalist. transhumanist and alterhuman

I 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

how do you pronounce FFXIV?

@mitsunee aww! having supportive people in your life who can recognize what’s hard for you and be encouraging is so important. I hope that you can find people like that, if they aren’t there already. I’m glad that you’ve been able to feel rewarded for some things on your own, though! that sounds like a great improvement

esolang that starts as the minimum viable lisp

except anyone can create a new function or macro and it becomes a read-only builtin after that point, which anyone else can use

for example I could use (cond) to make an (if) macro and now everyone else has access to (if). except if I make a mistake with (if), that mistake is there forever. now someone has to call their working version of if (if-fixed) or (if-working) or something

I don’t think marketers appreciate how much damage they’re doing to my perception of their brand when they send me emails like

Well hey there, [deadname]! It’s so nice to meet you!

Hey again [deadname]! We’ve got a fucking coupon for you [deadname]!

[Deadname], have you considered buying [thing]? You should really consider it [deadname] it’s a great idea [deadname].

@emberquill yess omg this is exactly what I’m talking about! labeling you as “lazy” is just a convenient way for people to wash their hands of supporting you or figuring out what’s wrong and I hate it. this is a really good example

the word “lazy” is used to victim-blame and suspend empathy for others. it’s a thought-terminating cliche. “why do people act like this? it’s because they’re lazy. it’s their fault and they are low-value because of it”

whenever I see the word “lazy” I try to remind myself to step back from the situation, have compassion for the people being labeled, and ask myself “what is actually the problem? is this a learned behavior? is this a neurotype thing? is this a product of hidden societal forces? does it come from trauma? how can others help them?”

nobody is simply “lazy”. it is always more complicated than that

@dregntael aw hehe - to be honest I feel like it’s okay for there to be a few languages that just get really nerdy and mathy. it’s frustrating for me as someone who was taught by school to hate math, but I bet for those who know a lot about advanced math it’s actually really comfy to have such a specific and concrete vocabulary to describe things

@dregntael ooh omg I forgot about Racket! I might give it a try too tbh. there are so many Lisps to choose from

it sounds like Racket is built on top of Scheme, so what I might do is learn Scheme first and if I like it enough then learn Racket next

for example instead of saying “all your feelings are okay with me”, say “aww babyy! you’re a good girl no matter what you feel. your feelings are always okay 💙”

instead of saying “you can make mistakes - they are your teachers” say “good girl! I’m glad you made this mistake, and felt comfortable telling me. what did you learn from it? [wait for them to reply] that’s right! the fact that you made that mistake and acknowledged it means you’re doing really well. I want you to keep trying hard things and making mistakes for me - okay~? 💙 that’s how you get even better for me”

how to enslave a trans girl:

  • google “reparenting affirmations”
  • say them to her, but make them sound kinky and dominant
  • bonus: use the phrase “good girl” as often as possible

that’s it. she’ll be begging you to collar her in no time

@1 aww! that does sound like a great feature to have. Fennel had something similar and it confused me for a while but I was able to figure it out when working on my own Lisp language

@nycki I hope so! that seems like a really good feature for any language to have. I don’t get how so many languages can insist on only having one version of each library installed

@liese omg I feel so validated then. at the moment I feel like I can kinda piece together maybe 5% of the Haskell docs lol it’s like they’re written in another language

@liese adding git info to my prompt does actually sound pretty nice - I might add that too eventually. but yeah I love that it comes with really nice defaults out-of-the-box and I don’t have to see any confusing arcane script stuff inside of my config file either
