  • The thing is that if someone is bothering you, then you need to go to the teacher. If you set a precedent that one kid is bothering you, then the teacher is more likely to believe you if you ever snap and hit your bully they'll be more understanding. But if you never say anything and then suddenly snap, then obviously it looks from the outside like you're the bully.

  • Oh wow! I wasn't expecting them to go as cheap as $100. I'm definitely getting one then, thanks!

  • Where did you buy your 3d printer and how much does it generally cost to get one?

  • I currently work part-time as a bus driver and I just wanna say that it's incredibly hard to determine who is right or wrong when you didn't see what happened and you're just going by what each kid says. If you only see the tail end of a fight, you might wrongfully think the kid retaliating is the bully. 99% of the time it's easier to just separate the kids and/or punish them both equally since it's impossible to determine who the victim and the perpetrator is. It sucks, it feels really bad, but that's the reality of the situation.

  • Serious question, what exactly does do do? In my terminal I can see that do is a command but all I get is bash: syntax error near unexpected token do'and obviously with such a common name it's hard to find information on google about whatdo` actually does.

  • There is HDMI CEC which allows a single remote control to control all of your devices, so it must be possible for devices connected by HDMI to receive a signal back from the TV.

  • I personally love that these boys can still fully identify as men and use he/him pronouns while still exploring their personal styles and fashion choices. Men deserve the freedom to explore and be creative with their appearance. Being pretty shouldn't be exclusive to women!

  • Egg - a transgender person that has yet to come out of their "shell".

    When a person first makes the realization that they might be transgender, it's referred to as "cracking your egg" in the trans community.

    Also, in popular culture it's commonplace to say that a person who is in denial is "putting up walls", so an egg is like a type of wall that completely surrounds you. Cracking your egg involves tearing down those walls.

  • You can just choose not to use it. They still release everything through their regular repositories for now.

  • Fun tip! The thing that makes raw cookie dough dangerous to eat is the flour, also sometimes the eggs depending on where you live. If you "heat treat" the flour ahead of time, it's perfectly safe to eat the cookie dough. This recipe says you can microwave it for 75 seconds on high, stirring every 15 seconds. As for the egg thing, I dunno, do that at your own risk.

  • You can. Just install them through WINE or Valve's Proton compatibility tool.

  • Banning abortion is the number one way to make sure more abortions happen, and more women die as a result of unsafe abortions. If you're in favor of banning abortions, then you're not doing it to "protect children" or whatever stupid reason, you're doing it because you hate women. Either that or you're woefully uneducated about everything surrounding the "abortion debate" which has no right being a debate, there is an objectively correct side, and it's the pro-choice side.

    If you're pro-life or just don't know much about it, please educate yourselves:
    NBC article about how abortion rates are four times lower in countries where it's legal
    WHO report on abortion
    Amnesty International fact sheet about abortions
    US centric study by NPR about how abortion bans punish women by removing their right to choose and having pathetic maternal support systems

    If you really want to protect children, then make sure your schools are teaching proper sex education, and that contraceptives are readily accessible to young people, so that fewer unwanted pregnancies are happening and that children are welcomed into a loving family who is prepared mentally, emotionally, and financially to take care of them because they chose to have children rather than being forced to.

  • If you weren't aware, Decky Loader is a pretty great Steam Deck plugin loader that's easy to install and has a store interface where you can easily download and install new plugins. Of course, it includes a plugin for easily changing the start up animation.

  • I'm curious, is there a difference in doing it like this?:

     
        
    var condition = var1 && var2
    
    for walrus in walruses {
      if (condition) {
        walrus.frobnicate()
      } else {
        walrus.transmogrify()
      }
    }
    
    
      

    Doesn't assigning the condition to a variable make it so that it's only really evaluated once?

  • What distro were you using? I've literally never had any problems with controllers, video cards, monitors, or anything that you've mentioned. Also, Proton not working is extremely rare. Basically the only thing that prevents games from running perfectly for me is anti-cheat specifically not being supported by the game studio.

    I've basically always used Ubuntu which is very stable and the most Windows-like experience imo. Maybe you should give Ubuntu a try if you haven't?

  • Well if you're tired of Microsoft, you can install any of the many Linux distros completely free

  • It's not at all necessary, but I find it makes much easier to read code if you instead only use if statements and just return early when you're in a function. For example, you could check isalpha(letter) == true is true then check letter + key <= 90 do the letter += key; return letter; then since letter + key must be 90 if it didn't already return a value, then you can do the while statement and return letter without needing an if statement at all. Then the isalpha(letter) == false is also unncessary, just return letter at the end.

    Like this:

     
        
    char rotate(char letter, int key)
    {
      if (isalpha(letter)
      {
        if (letter  + key <= 90)
        {
            letter += key;
            return letter;
        }
    
        do the while loop here
      }
    
      return letter;
    }
