  • I didn't really think about it before, but yes, the tactile sensation of its smooth but clearly not artificially smooth surface is there. The apple isn't in one piece like this. It's fragmented but connected (seemingly like everything else in my memory). When I think of an apple, the shape, the various red shades, surface feel, crispness, smell and flavor of a bite, as well as the visual guidance of a knife to cut into it all manifest at nearly the same time.

    And yes, that's exactly how I would describe it like a framebuffer. Almost as fast too, a single frame where an image of an apple sits on a table then the rest of my processing continues.

    For whatever reason, computer science and architecture has helped me explain this as sort of a populated instance of class Apple. This instance sits in hard storage, and retrieves it when I get apple from main memory.

    But that's not just all. Apple is a fruit, so I also get information about the fruit object, and fruits connected to it too, in real time.

    I have ADHD, so I know my brain is physically wired differently. I suspect it's related to the "cobweb" of thoughts that is normally present.

  • June 14: No Kings Day becomes a national holiday. The national celebratory dish: Tacos.

    We can make it a tradition where the person serving the Tacos dresses up like a chicken runs to an Effigy of Trump and the party bawks like a chicken at it for good luck and long health.

  • Do you like your Tacos chicken? If not you'll be fine.

    Plus in his head I'll bet he connects the phrase with "Mexican cuisine" so it's even more insulting in his head.

    The other things I think are appropriate about calling him Taco:

    1. They are unsatisfying
    2. They are simple
    3. They are cheap
    4. They make him angry

    I'll happily enjoy my tacos while comparing him to a Taco. Because personally, I would never want a taco as any kind of leader. It's better as food.

    Edit: How many Tacos are you guys eating to actually get full???

  • Idk. I told the doctors and nurses to tell all the girls I had big crushes on (individually, by name) that I loved them even though I was dying and I would protect them like an angel.

    I wasn't actually dying, I was having a minor procedure and a hypersensitive reaction to the drug.

  • No. PISD.

    Post infidelity. It's traumatic but entirely around a former intimate relationship.

    PISD is a normal response to this. It has severe depression, severe impact to self-esteem and general confidence, severe impact to work performance, etc. Etc. it's a million times worse than.

    I'm not saying he's not a suicide risk. The actual incidence of it is really high. In fact I'm surprised he hadn't attempted. I had well controlled depression before my spouse's affair.

    There is no medication aside from sedatives that will help OP with this. And sedatives only delay recovery. He's doing what he needs to, and he's wondering why people are giving up and leaving him be.

    It's because this shit is that fucking draining. Any LPCC knows they are just as much at risking their licence as any doctor. Saying 'go see a doc and get meds' is just as dismissive as his former friends who have given up with him.

    Honestly? As long as he's being honest with a LPCC, he's doing better than he would be in a hospital here in the US.

  • It's apparently a newly vocal (yet previously existing) trend amongst trans and drag programmers, particularly of the linux variety.

    I know of one transwoman and she doesn't do this, though we do work for a "business formal" environment.

    Seems to be a bigger thing amongst the younger college CS and fresh out of college folk.

    I personally find it a bit funny, but I also have the small bit of me that worries about the social-political climate and how it might impact their careers.

    Amongst engineers I've still found an uncomfortable amount of conservatives. So even if they don't support MAGA directly, I'd imagine they still carry a lot of that bias on "what is appropriate" or not.
