  • Badminton:

    1. screaming and shouting and other obviously bad manners meant to psychologically disturb the opponent. Looking at you, Carolina Marín. God I hate her.
    2. Taking unnecessarily long to serve the shuttle, swaying left and right for a long time before serving. Looking at you, Viktor Axelsen! For shame! 🫵
  • I think the problem is that people don't want to be just "other". Because that's what "xer" is.

    I am cis and straight, so I don't have full comprehension of what it feels like not to conform to the norm, but even I understand that if we have only one other pronoun, like "xer", it's just saying "the one that isn't the norm", and it doesn't matter if you make it sound like one of the other "normal" pronouns. That doesn't normalize it. It just silently, yet officially and publicly reaffirms its abnormal quality.

    We have to realize that there's obviously a floating spectrum here, and people don't fall into predefined buckets sometimes. Some do, but some don't.

    The human brain is built and evolved into a categorization machine. What is edible, what isn't. What is attractive, what isn't. What is safe, what isn't. Black and white, good and evil. We want it simple, and we get confused, afraid, and angry when it isn't simple. This is something we must recognize about ourselves, and really work hard to go against if we want to evolve our way of thinking.

    This is clearly evident in the way you express yourself here.

    THEN THAT WOULD BE YOUR NAME

    MEMEME

    friggin annoying

    Please, can you just be like everyone else

    most people would be fine with this

    my special snowflake pronoun

    Your anger and fear of the complicated shines through much brighter than you might think. I think it's time you sat down and had a big, long thinking about who you want to be and what you really want to say.

    Much love to you, and thank you for opening yourself up.

  • This contradicts what I've heard others say about it. I have a feeling it is quite subjective, and this might just be an anecdotal recommendation because you have an easy time with it. Maybe I will too! But maybe I won't.

    Either way, one part of me really wants to try it, but one part has very little time in life. 🥲

    Also comparing it to C++ might not be the flex we think it is. 😅

  • Probably would still use TypeScript, because I use that for work. 🤷‍♂️ Rust just seems like... a lot. Regarding Rust, I've seen a lot of praises and a not so insignificant amount of complaints that make me very hesitant to take the plunge. Can't remember off the top of my head what it was, specifically, but it was enough for me to write it off, that much I remember.

  • Exactly. Or that silhouette of a spinning ballerina. I can switch the direction that she is spinning at will as well. There's nothing to go by because it's a perfectly flat, projected silhouette without any shadows, so anybody is free to interpret the rotation however they like. 😁

  • You can literally sample the rgb values

    It doesn't matter. This phenomenon can be explained by something called color constancy.

    I remember some versions of this image where I could literally switch between perceptions at will, when I imagined different surrounding light temperatures/environments.

    It's a subjective perception.

  • Well, that's an incorrect interpretation of what it says.

    I make no mention of the word "gated" or any other synonym of that. Those are your words, and it's an incorrect extrapolation of what I'm saying. I make heavy use of words like "help", and I talk about it coming from our direction.

    The help should be voluntary, I will concede, but I think it would be fine if it were opt-out. Maybe a lot of people won't notice an opt-in variant, so Mozilla would get a lot less usage data.

    There's a big difference between supporting something "being gated" in and of itself, and supporting helping out an organization that has a very noble mission statement (as far as I understand it anyway). That's the way I see it. 👍
