People-first language is only suggested for things that are considered undesirable in our society. No one ever says we should use, for example, "a person with blondness” or "a person with overheight.”

The problem therefore isn't necessarily where we put certain words, but that those words (and the conditions associated with them) are seen negatively.

So no, saying “a person with obesity” will not solve weight stigma in our society.

id like to apologize to venite for complaining about its default dark mode

despite all these CWs I never felt triggered by the game and I’m very sensitive, so I hope it will be playable for a lot of y’all if you’re interested! I would love to give this game more notice and recognition because I loved it on every level, and it’s literally just $18 on Steam right now

if any of y’all like the newer Resident Evil games (like RE2 Remake or Resident Evil Village) I’d highly recommend giving Crisol: Theater of Idols a try

in fact if you just like puzzle-solving, exploration, and slow tactical combat I’d still highly recommend trying Crisol lol because it has a fantastic balance of all three

it’s a horror game though and there are a lot of CWs, so I’m going to make a second post with a link to the game as well as a list of CWs

@ilobmirt hehe, even with a ponytail I still get loose hairs all over me in the bath when I have long hair and it drives me crazy. but I did try that in the past!

unfortunately every time I tied a ponytail it always ended up as a low ponytail and I could never figure out how people get a nice medium-height ponytail lol

@kit oh - I didn’t even consider how a hat would effect things! yeah I bet that makes having long hair a lot better

what was so bad about having dreads though?

@kit I wish I could! T_T even if I tie it up, I have to undo that in the shower and it sticks to my body, and individual hairs end up sticking to my skin everywhere and it drives me crazy. also back when I had long hair, every single time I leaned forward the hair would be all over my face and I hated it lol

@theking it drives me absolutely crazy anytime it gets in my face and especially my mouth T_T and the absolute worst is when it sticks to my body in the shower

who would win:

the transfemme urge to have long flowy beautiful hair

vs.

the autistic urge to not have a long flowy sensory nightmare attached to my head at all times

@nycki ohh - that definitely makes sense! you almost need like a database schema or something. that sounds like an interesting problem to solve. maybe you could even include type information in the schema, so that the nifty could be type-checked at the same time that it’s being converted

@nycki I haven’t unfortunately, but I love this! when I was younger I experimented with a ton of different languages that transpiled into HTML, but they often had weird implicit rules or syntax that I had a hard time getting an intuition for. this feels dead simple, easy to learn, and much easier to read too

quote are optional around one-word strings

hmm, another possibility would be to steal from Lisps (especially Fennel) and have one-word strings be quotable using a prefixed : like this:

(div
  ((p class :foo "Hello, world!")
   (p class :bar "some text")))

I think that would probably be how I would do it (edit: actually, I guess in this case class doesn’t need to be quoted but foo does, but what makes class special here? maybe it would be :class :foo instead)

also I’m curious what JSON would look like in nift! JSON is already fairly terse, but has some annoying syntax rules (like no leading commas, and no comments allowed)

@nycki I’m so glad you like the idea so much! 💙
