the word âlazyâ is used to victim-blame and suspend empathy for others. itâs a thought-terminating cliche. âwhy do people act like this? itâs because theyâre lazy. itâs their fault and they are low-value because of itâ
whenever I see the word âlazyâ I try to remind myself to step back from the situation, have compassion for the people being labeled, and ask myself âwhat 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?â
nobody is simply âlazyâ. it is always more complicated than that
happy International Menâs Day to all of the trans men and transmascs on Fedi!
how to enslave a trans girl:
thatâs it. sheâll be begging you to collar her in no time
they should make a version of the Haskell docs that you can read without a degree in abstract algebra
ugh okay I give up on learning Common Lisp. itâs just⊠extremely not a language for me
Iâm going to try Scheme next, and then maybe Clojure if I donât like Scheme. and if I donât like Clojure then Iâll try Janet. and if I donât like any of them then Iâm going to conclude that the only good thing about Lisps are the S-expressions and the metaprogramming
I hate how much Linux relies on bash scripts, which might be the least portable and least readable scripting language they couldâve chosen
I literally canât even sync my .bashrc files between Linux systems because the prewritten gobbledegook is different for each system and they arenât compatible with each other
me: *registers for a GoodReads account because maybe I can find some fiction books that I can comfortably read*
GoodReads in my inbox constantly from then on: what is UP book lover!! make sure to vote in our poll where weâre choosing this yearâs đ„đ„HOTTESTđ„đ„ trendy new books!!
chat the rising trend in American bagel size is unsustainable. something must be done before itâs too late
oh, youâve been doing your own research? Iâd love to have a look at the P-values. youâve made sure that your hypothesis is falsifiable right? and Iâm sure you have a very solid and nuanced understanding of the data that would be expected if the null hypothesis is true, right?
and clearly you must be highly knowledgeable and qualified in the field, to be overturning decades of scientific studies - presumably through in-depth meta-analyses of the relevant research
oh - youâre not? your criticism must be much more fundamental, then. you must know a lot about epistemology, the scientific method, and what constitutes âjustified beliefâ⊠right?
shoutout to the random WoW player who told me âshadow dance is the entire point of subtlety rogue. you should play as assassination rogue instead if you donât want to use itâ
I hope youâre enjoying your life as a fun-hating optimization-poisoned tryhard

As I understand it, a character "being in the public domain" isn't a thing, that's just sort of how fans tend to think about it cus we tend to see characters as discrete units. I am not an expert on copyright law and I refuse to learn, but my impression at lest is that specific works featuring a character can be in the public domain and that makes the character de facto in the public domain as long as you draw soely from those works.
The Doyle estate have been famously persnickety about Sherlock Holmes adaptions containing elements from the later stories, which was still under copyright for a while (it's a moot point now, if i dont misremember all of Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain so as long as he doesnt look like Benedict cumberbatch, you can write all the Sherlock Holmes yaoi you could possibly want).
âwe have Lisp at homeâ
the Lisp at home:
from operator import mod, add, eq, mul
[print(
(str(i), "fizz", "buzz", "fizzbuzz")
[add(eq(0, mod(i, 3)),
mul(2, eq(0, mod(i, 5))))])
for i in range(1,21)]
imagine taking a nap and then waking up feeling more rested than when you started the nap
people need to stop abbreviating their content warnings omg
thereâs a post on r/GoneWildAudioTrans and one of its content warnings is âvery light sph*â and I have no idea what thatâs supposed to mean, which defeats the whole purpose of it being a content warning. and I canât google for it either because itâs got a special character in it
and tbh googling for content warning abbreviations generally doesnât work anyway because stuff like âuspolâ or âmh-â is too obscure to have meaningful results
