No, I meant other drivers. I'm not a nervous (cussing) driver, but most I've seen are. You should hear the stuff that comes out of these people's mouths, my god! I had no idea grown ups could act that way.
Once this guy bumped me from the back, I got out, no real damage, just a scratch, plus I don't really care, a car is a means to an end for me, takes me from point A to point B. So, I didn't even offer to exchange insurance info (it was his fault, so in the end, he doesn't get compensated at all). But this guy... he started cursing at his luck, and then just raised his voice at me and asked "you couldn't stop 20cm down, could you π"... and I just gave him a confused look and got in my car. I mean, really? Over a fender bender? It wasn't even a real scratch, it was just paint transfer.
Yeah, I live in a building though... and have parrots. It's not like I could give that to the parrots, they're fairly small.
But a neighbour has a dog and I try to give him leftovers from time to time. I really don't like throwing food away or letting it rot. I am fortunate enough that I can afford that meal, not everyone is as lucky as me.
Meeh... Stallman, no, but Linus, yes, most definitely. I love his sense of humor to be honest, watch his AMAs from time to time, they're like standup to me π.
I also referred to men as males in the post, but that didn't seem to bother anyone.
Though I do admit female was a more used term. I was trying to explain some of the differences (to the best of my knowledge) of why males are more agressive and just generally not so in touch with their emotions, as opposed to females. I mean, come on, I wasn't trying to offend anybody, but I do suppose that some people just saw "female, brain", thought I was talking smack about women and just started downvoting me π€·. I was trying to explain that that is not the context and that those 2 terms were just the first ones that popped up in my mind, but it was too late.
I don't live in the US, but from what I've seen, instead of everyone just taking a step back and not getting offended over stupid things, people do the exact opposite. I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. Maybe I live in a place where people have thicker skin, IDK, but to get downvoted over semantics when the post is not even about that, I mean... really �
It doesn't matter, I know, no one cares about up/down votes, but just the sheer ammount of it was "wow, really?".
I understand the logic, but this really seems like a complete waste of time. I'd rather spend that time coding something really useful than coding that.
Yeah, I've seen the type... had a colleague in uni like that. And it's not like he's gonna need it for something else, but why spend an hour making them when he could spend 5 hours making the script to generate them in 1 second.
If this is how true programmers think, I'm sorry, I'm not a true programmer then π€·.
I could write another rant on the whole American βI take offense with thatβ mentality. Itβs political correctness of the worst kind, and as far as Iβm concerned. Jokes are often offensive. If you get offended, the problem is solidly at your end. Think about it for a while,...
He has a point there though IMO, things are way out if control with political correctness.
Have you noticed how almost every meme here on Lemmy goes in shitposts? My guess is, it's a safe bet, almost anything goes there, so I won't be downvoted to oblivion just because I wrote female instead of woman. Hell, I know I do it for that very reason.
